13 Under-$50 Items Everyone Is Wearing Right Now

last updated 14 September 2021

Don’t you just love when you see someone wearing something cool on your feed and it just so happens that it doesn't cost a fortune? I wish it wasn’t such a rare occurrence (compared to how much we’re exposed to designer duds), but I guess it’s just one of those I’ll-take-what-I-can-get kinds of things.

Luckily, however, this season there are a handful of pieces from our very own Who What Wear collection that are taking the world of Instagram by storm, and, of course, are very much cool and covetable. From dresses for all occasions to pants, skirts, and shoes, we’ve got pretty much everything you need for your summer wardrobe, whether it’s for work, a vacation, or both. To see all 13 of the under-$50 items in action and, of course, shop them along the way, just keep scrolling.

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.
