Under-$100, Super Trendy, and Somehow Timeless—All the Items I Am Losing It Over

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.

I am not being dramatic—I really did find 30 items that are not only affordable, but that somehow hit that sweet spot of being trendy and timeless all at once. This category is typically what we consider to be “trendy basics” and I have truly delivered a noteworthy haul for you here today. As someone who spends a lot of time perusing online retailers, it’s safe to claim that I know what I’m doing when it comes to selecting products worthy of your attention. From sweaters to boots and back again, the 30 items listed below are currently sitting on my most wanted list and soon they will be on yours too. 

With fall on the horizon, I have had my eye on pieces that will have a long shelf life in my closet while also bringing me the excitement that comes when I test out a new trend. I find that loud prints are a great place to start when looking for that sweet spot I’ve been mentioning so I included some crazy checkered prints, swirls, stripes and more amongst the more traditional basics shopped out below as well. I think I’ve been rambling enough now, so feel free to ignore me and start shopping for yourself. 

I’ve barely taken this hat off since I got it. 

Vests are about to be everywhere this fall and this Zara version is one of my favorite versions yet. 

There’s nothing I love more than a printed tight tee.

Yes, these are somehow under $100. 

Although subtle, that thin belt adds so much edge to this blazer. 

Never knew I needed a knit skirt so badly. 

I highly suggest getting the cream color as well. 

This shirt is a best-seller for a reason.  

I already own these jeans and can attest to wearing them non-stop. 

From the color to the collar, this bodysuit could not be more perfect for fall. 

I love this color so much. 

Printed pants are a vibe and if you haven’t experienced them, I suggest you snag these ASAP. 

The good kind of basic. 

Wear this set as-is for the rest of summer and throw a blazer on top once the temperatures start to drop. 

A shirt that deserves all the compliments in the world. 

The color alone makes this top worth buying. 

You can never own too many button-downs. At least according to me. 

Relaxed leather-like trousers are definitely the move this fall. 

This tank top is a no-brainer. 

I am still trying to comprehend how these boots are only $50. 

I would like to be wearing this exact outfit. 

I don’t know about you, but I am still not over tennis skirts. 

For when you’re feeling basic, but not really. 

Do I plan on draping cable-knits all over my body this fall? Yes, yes I do. 

It’s all about that lettuce edge. 

Everyone’s wearing them. 

Can you tell I have a thing for trendy basics? 

Don’t forget to get the matching cardigan

One more checkered piece before you go.
