The Best Under-$500 Designer Buys at Mytheresa—Period
It's very easy to be lured in by all the $1000+ dresses, handbags, and shoes that litter the virtual shelves on Mytheresa.com, but that's not all the German retailer's storage facilities play home to. I'd know—I just thoroughly examined practically every item on its site. Hidden among those major investments is an equally alluring selection of under-$500 buys with all the same designer labels, from Celine and Gucci to Jacquemus and Toteme.
Given that you probably don't have the luxury of dedicating an entire afternoon to online shopping like I do—being a fashion editor is fun!—I went ahead and lined up some of my more affordable Mytheresa finds below. Highlights include a 10/10 holiday-party dress, plenty of elevated basics, and the designer sunglasses that practically every Who What Wear editor owns at least one pair of. All of that and more is ripe for picking and just a scroll away.
These sunglasses are either on everyone I know's wish list or in their closet. There's no in-between position.
This color will always remind me of The Row and Kendall Jenner.
If tank tops are your kryptonite like they are mine, then you need this on-trend red one from Jacquemus.
The '90s vibes are so strong I can almost smell the Clinique Happy.
Whenever an outfit seems boring, just add a pair of these. They work every time.
The peplum renaissance is finally here.
The suede and patent leather make this bag so much more interesting.
If it's an off-the-shoulder piece in 2023, I don't just want it—I need it.
Well, I've decided I need these, so now, nothing can stop me.
For a "JFK Jr. on a Saturday morning dog walk with Carolyn" kind of fall look.
