There's a specific type of heartbreak when you find a well-priced item and think, "I'll wait and see if it gets discounted," only to see it sell out. While scouting something at a great price is a euphoric feeling, there's always the "wait it out" feeling that can backfire and lead to total devastation. If there's one thing I know as a fashion editor, it's that items from certain shopping sites can lure you with the temptation of low prices.
To help you avoid the same fate I've been met with countless times, I curated a shopping list full of pieces that feel like a deal but won't leave you waiting for a risky markdown. A few of my favorite online retailers make doing so easy, producing compliment-worthy pieces at even more compliment-worthy prices. Think Aritzia, Zara, and H&M. Ahead, you'll find an array of under-$150 pieces from these three retailers that marry trendiness and timelessness, all at year-round prices that won't force you to wait for sale season to score a deal.
Rugby shirts are definitely trending.
This piece will always be at the top of your drawer.
Aviator-style sunglasses are shaping up for a fall takeover.
Longline shorts are here to stay.
A lifelong belt.

Update your cardigan with elegant gold hardware.
Wear with sheer tights, over jeans, under leather jackets, etc.
A classic denim jacket has longevity in your closet.
Vest dressing is the best year-round trick.
Oversize jeans are always an add-to-cart find.
Catch yourself adding these to all of your fall looks.
Leopard is shaping up to be the print of the season.
The sophistication standard has been set by the pencil skirt.
The ultimate 2024 shoes.
Peak business chic.
Burgundy bags are on the rise.

A denim overshirt is fall's best friend.
Utterly perfect jeans.
Casual shoes that transcend the trend.
Peplum silhouettes are your best friend this fall.
Styling notes include a micro miniskirt or wide-leg jeans.
