I Don't Like Anything Too Trendy, But These Under-$200 Staples Are Freaking Good
When a new season hits and all your favorite retailers are once again stocked with fresh pieces, it can be tempting to splurge on all the top trends. In the long run, however, I believe it's smarter to spend money on items that strike a balance between classic and trendy because they'll have the most longevity and versatility. That's exactly the motto of our newly launched Who What Wear Collection.
Our latest drop includes pieces that hit on major fall trends—like corsets and cutouts—without risking that timeless factor we all crave. After all, who wants to buy something they'll stop wearing in just a couple of months? Scroll down to shop 27 staples that are too tempting to pass up.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
