A good basic is great on its own. As is an affordable find or a truly investment-worthy piece that will last you for years. So, what would one call an item that checks all three boxes? I guess unbelievable is a start, and that’s kind of how I would describe the roundup I’ve proudly put together for you today.
Below you’ll find five categories of classic fall basics with five finds for each, all of which are not only essential for the months ahead but can stick with you for many an autumn to come. And, just as a little extra icing on the cake, every item is under $100—oftentimes well under. If you’re now thinking that this is your lucky day, I simply can’t help but agree, so just keep scrolling to see and, of course, shop all my finds.
