49 Under $49: Every Affordable Find You Don't Want to Miss for Spring
The official start of spring is only nine days away, and if you couldn't guess, this NYC-based editor is excited. Aside from the prospect of warmth, sunlight, and an instant mood shift across the city, there's also so much to look forward to in terms of dressing. Goodbye, winter boots; hello, exposed ankles. Say so long to your gloves and beanies, and give a warm welcome to fun statement accessories you get to throw on just because. Put away that Uniqlo Heattech and bust out the crop tops. Do you get where I'm going with this?
Anyway, with so little time left until the equinox, I figured you might need some help getting that warm-weather wardrobe sorted out. Missing an essential? On the hunt for some trendy finishing touches? Maybe you need nothing, but that's never stopped you from shopping in the first place. Whatever boat you're in, today, I've got you covered with a whopping 49 spring-ready finds under $49, all of which are editor approved and highly endorsed for the months ahead. To get started shopping my picks, simply keep scrolling.
This might be the season I finally dip my toes into the sporty-sunglasses trend.
Wear these with everything from skirts and dresses to jeans and trousers.
Next, What to Buy From Nordstrom If Your Vibe Is Khaite But Your Budget Is $100
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
