18 Affordable Summer Finds I'm Telling All My Friends to Buy
As you’ve probably noticed already if you’re an avid reader of Who What Wear, I can talk about shopping for days—tops, dresses, shoes, bags, or anything else really. It’s easy for me to get started on a rant because, well, it’s my job but also one of my main interests—even my side interest too, at times.
One thing I get asked about most often is budget-friendly shopping. It makes sense, seeing as one of the only ways for most of us to keep up with trends is to buy affordable pieces. That’s why I’m constantly talking up our very own Who What Wear collection for Target, in which nearly every item is under $60 and there’s a monthly update of both seasonal items and trend pieces. From tops to dresses to shoes to bags and more, you can find almost everything you need for a season without breaking the bank. To see and shop the items I’m recommending most these days, just keep scrolling.

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.
