Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 25 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.

In the market to look trendy without blowing your savings? Then you've come to the right place. I am usually one to invest in quality basics that I know I can wear time and time again for years to come, but when it comes to those trendy thrills, the more affordable, the better. This fall 2020 season has a lot of very wearable and versatile trends floating around and today, I have shopped out my personal picks under $100.

From cropped cardigans to nostalgic '90s claw hair clips, each of the 25 must-have items below is guaranteed to make any outfit look ten times trendier. I promise you, all of this is currently sitting in one of my many online shopping carts so if you don't buy these items on my most wanted list, I certainly will.
