Given that I spend a good chunk of my day scrolling through a variety of e-commerce sites because of my role as a fashion editor, my friends and family routinely hit me up for shopping tips. On one of my recent Zoom catch-ups with a friend of mine, she again asked for advice on a few items she could add to her wardrobe to enhance her closet and keep it current. She tends to wear a lot of basics, so she wanted items that were basics adjacent (you know, those trendier simple items). She also didn’t want to spend more than $100 on any given piece.
I ended up going through a few of my go-to stores—including Nordstrom, Shopbop, Net-a-Porter, and H&M—and bookmarked seven chic items I thought she’d like. Below you’ll uncover the said affordable pieces she’s considering. You’ll also find a smattering of other items that could pique your interest as well if you too are looking to mix something fresh into your current rotation.

Adorable cropped cardi.
And here’s the coordinating bralette.

A comfy blazer for when you need to dress up for a Zoom meeting.
