31 Under-$100 Accessories We Know Will Make Any Summer Outfit 10 Times Cooler
There’s no easier (or more practical) avenue to a cool-looking outfit than through standout accessories. After all, why spend on a statement dress you’ll only want to wear once when you can buy a cool bag or pair of sandals that go with almost all of your everyday looks? Now, if said bag or sandals are on the more affordable side, then it’s even better and, of course, that’s why I brought you here today.
With a little help from our very own Who What Wear collection, I’ve rounded up a whopping 31 bags and shoes that are not just special enough to make all your summer (and fall) outfits exponentially more interesting, but they’re also all under $100. To see and shop them for yourself—before they’re gone—just keep scrolling, and when you’re done, be sure to check out some of my favorite simple and comfortable outfit ideas to pair them with this season.
Your everyday outfits will never be the same.
A new kind of Cinderella slipper.
The long strap is removable so you can style this as a little top-handle bag, too.
Every wardrobe needs a pop of red.
I have these sandals in black and am thinking I might need these too.
These will go well with everything from jeans to dresses.
These will give you that "naked" effect.
Just big enough for your Purell.
I can't think of a better material for a summer mule than breathable mesh.
This leopard shoulder bag can stay in your wardrobe for decades.
Next, everything worth buying from the best summer sales right now.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
