It's my job as senior market editor to scour all our favorite brands and retailers from top to bottom on a daily basis to find cool, of-the-moment pieces that are worthy of your wallet. I am constantly saving and bookmarking items that I think are worth sharing, whether it's because they feel fresh, trendy, or versatile; feature exquisite details; or are really well-priced. While I'm tempted to gatekeep many of these stylish gems that I know will sell out fast, I find more joy in sharing them with you, our dear readers. Today, I'm bringing you a whole host of chic and affordable finds, from late-summer favorites to affordable fall buys. Keep scrolling to see all my favorite finds under $50, from cool flats to great sweaters and breezy linen pants.
