The Under-$100 Fashion Buys Our Editors Can't Stop Raving About
When it comes to shopping suggestions, there's no better group of people to turn to than my fellow fashion editors. In fact, we have a whole Slack channel dedicated solely to the clothing items we're loving right now! As a collective, we're scouring the internet daily for the latest It pieces, writing trend reports, interviewing brands and fashion people, and learning about new pieces daily.
Recently, I scooped up a few gorgeous pieces under $100 that I wanted to share with you all. I was curious to see what my fellow editors have been buying, eyeing, and loving too, so I asked them to share the affordable items they can't stop raving about.

Judith Jones, Senior Market Editor
I've been wearing this full white skirt on repeat this summer! Every time I do, I get countless compliments. It's so versatile, comfortable, and trend-forward. I usually style it with a basic tee or tank top or a polished vest for work. In the fall, I can't wait to wear it with cozy crew-neck sweaters.
I'm obsessed with my Little Words Project handcrafted beaded bracelets. I own a stack of them, which I love to wear together with my watch. The quality of these beaded bracelets is excellent, and you can choose from an array of cool colors and affirmations or create your own custom one. Every time I wear them, people ask me about them.
Sheer lace skirts have been trending hard this season, and I jumped on the trend recently with this affordable maxi skirt from Nordstrom. I've been pairing it with oversize graphic T-shirts and ballet flats for a cool-girl look.
I'm very into this fall's boho trend thanks to Chloé, and this is the perfect dress to lean into the trend. It's shockingly good for just $60.
Allyson Payer, Senior Editor
"I decided to dip a toe in the leopard-print shoe trend and ordered this H&M pair on a whim after seeing them here. I can't get over how good they look in person and how comfortable they are."
Anna LaPlaca, Senior Editor
"Trust me—this is the tube top to end them all. I love how soft, stretchy, and sculpting this one from Free People is. It's fittingly called the Carrie for its undeniable late-'90s vibe. I just got it last month but have already lost count of how many times I've worn it, including on three different trips. Needless to say, I'll be buying it in multiple colorways to wear with everything."
Ana Escalante, Assistant Shopping Editor
"I recently picked up this Mango skirt in Copenhagen during fashion week. Although I've been a maxi-skirt fan for quite some time now, most of the poplin versions I own are classic, neutral colors that tend to get a bit boring after repeated use. This statement red skirt, though, immediately caught my attention as I was scrambling for something to buy last minute after I got coffee on my white jeans. (Typical!) Despite this being a random, in-the-moment buy, I'm obsessed with how effortlessly chic it looked when I wore it with a simple gray T-shirt."
Bobby Schuessler, Shopping Director
"I can't stop talking about Abercrombie & Fitch tees—especially this boxy cropped version. I've told so many people to buy it because it's incredibly soft and has such a cool fit. I wear mine with just jeans or with a blazer and trousers."
Sierra Mayhew, Associate Editor
"I recently got this dress from Showpo, and it's so flattering and high-quality. I like to have a collection of minidresses this time of year to just throw on in the heat, so this one fit right into my collection."
Nikki Chwatt, Associate Editor
"As I prepare my wardrobe for fall, I find myself drawn to preppy pieces like polo shirts. When I discovered this beautiful short-sleeve silhouette from Banana Republic, I knew I had to have it. It's available in five lovely muted hues and is made of silky cotton, creating an elegant draped effect on the body. I plan to wear the pale-blue one throughout the fall, and I might even get the greenish-gray style, pairing it with everything from a chocolate-brown suit to a pair of white jeans."
Chinazor Offor, Associate Editor
"I love this bag because it's versatile. You can wear it as a shoulder bag or a sling. It also fits so much more than you think it will. I've fit everything in there, from a water bottle to my Kindle."
Jennifer Camp Forbes, Shopping Updates Editor
"I've been on a major dress kick as of late and realized that I was in need of a bright addition to my neutral- and black-heavy collection. This one immediately caught my eye thanks to the bold red print, which just happens to be in the color of the moment."
