With inflation and other aspects of the current global situation in mind, it’s no wonder why people, now more than ever, are shopping on a budget (myself included). That said, there is nothing I love more than coming across cheap fashion picks that carry a cool factor to boot, especially when they only look expensive. Thankfully, the options are plentiful this season.
There are a few ways I go about finding stylish yet affordable scores. To start, I like to stay up-to-date with the new arrivals sections of my favorite budget-friendly retailers like Nordstrom and H&M. I then make sure to set the price filter or sort the price of the products from low to high. From there, I keep an eye out for cool elevated basics like racerback tank tops and for cool trendy pieces like cutout dresses or smocked tops.
