Like many other people, my fashion taste tends to be a little more than what I count into my budget. Maybe because my job consists of looking at what's the latest and trendiest on the market, but regardless, I have an eye for luxurious-looking pieces. But since our goal at Who What Wear is to make fashion accessible to all, our namesake collection solves that problem for both me and you. 

We've rounded up a list of items that'll act as a one-stop-shop for your fall wardrobe, and the best part? They're all under $80, but look way more expensive than they actually are. We've included a little outfit inspiration so you can imagine them holding a place in your wardrobe already. Scroll below to shop.

After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
