There's nothing I like more than settling in on a rainy New York day to do a deep dive into the best fashion the likes of Shopbop, Nordstrom, and Revolve have to offer. These three retailers are masters of the high-low mix, with designer pieces like Toteme flats and Khaite denim expertly placed amongst the kind of guilt-free under-$100 buys that seem to jump right into your cart.
Those more affordable buys are why we're here today, and if you're anything like me (and are into jazzing up expensive-looking classic items with on-trend pieces that bring some personality), then you're in the right place. Some of these are desperate to be worn before summer is done, others are already getting ahead on fall, and all of them are highly covetable, under-$100, and deserve a peep.
SHOPBOP
Summer's fun pendant-necklace trend refuses to quit.
Reformation knows the '90s.
Speaking of perfect '90s tops.
Le Specs is always the way.
Love 'em or hate 'em.
The best under-$100 top on the internet.
So good I'm going to have to also show it to you in black.
Working on selling my husband on this color palette for our apartment.
Because I am here to talk about the Olympics to anyone who will tolerate me.
Not your average tie-front tank.
These look so luxe.
Chic. (And won't come untucked.)
Arguably even better with rosettes.
Just the happiest pair of shorts.
If you're old enough to know who Jane was on Melrose Place, you'll know she would have loved this.
The perfect price point if you're after entry-level oversize aviators.
Never not taken aback by stunning tailoring.
This Matisse-inspired print.
It's 2004 and we're on vacation.
The joy of finding a pointelle tank that's breezy instead of clingy.
How are we feeling about capris?
Guaranteed to become your default going-out top.
These are sweet and also come in a gold finish.
And a moment for this perfect black T-shirt.
REVOLVE
If you're waiting for vests to be over, don't hold your breath.
We love striped drawstring pants.
White summer skirts are here to stay.
Vacation vibes galore.
Here for a punchy cobalt blue.
These expensive-looking flip-flops keep selling out.
Don't forget about the red sandal trend.
If you're feeling jazzy.
You will be even more thrilled to have these when we hit fall.
Woven rope bags are giving raffia a run for its money.
When there's still one more wedding on the calendar before Labor Day.
I have DM'd this necklace to so many friends.
For your commute in late August.
Where are you not wearing this dress?
When you're just showering at the gym but want to feel like you're still in Greece.
Okay, maybe this is my favorite of the bags.
I promise you that a muted buttercup-yellow tee is what your belted, wide-leg pants are begging for.
Speaking of belts, I am all about this sculptural hardware.
For summer dinner dates.
Also available in so many colors.
Also great with some chill little sneakers.
NORDSTROM
The perfect one-piece. No notes.
Bless the extra strap that keeps these flip-flops from too much flip-flopping.
It's 4 p.m., 90 degrees, and you're meeting your friends for wine.
Okay, this top is very good.
I'm never not open to discovering a fresh pair of wide-leg trousers.
Perfection if you don't love ironing.
I've been spotting so many great earrings like this on my feed.
This straw bag is such a good shape…
…but I understand if you just need something that fits your laptop.
Pair one of those bags with this top…
…and these pants, and you're done.
Can't go wrong with some toe-ring sandals.
I aspire to be at this level of chill.
Sporty and sweet.
I promise the back of this shirt is so good.
I'm never not thrilled by the range of Mango at Nordstrom.
Get 'em while they're discounted.
How does Free People consistently make such good jeans?
Wear these with some creamy white Bermuda shorts.
Extra wide for a little drama.
Madewell's really been bringing the goods this summer.
One more pair of red strappy sandals for the road.
Bringing it home with another heart-shaped chunky pendant.
