These 45 Under-$50 Fashion Finds Scream Rich

Think back to the last time you were shopping (maybe you were sifting through the racks at Nordstrom or peeping the virtual shelves at Ssense) when you found the most incredible piece of clothing. You felt butterflies in your stomach, right? That is until you looked at the price tag. Not to bring back salty shopping feelings, but the gut-wrenching feeling of falling in love with a piece that you can’t justify buying is a universal feeling among the fashion set. And while there are some luxury items worth investing in and some great pieces can be found secondhand, spending a small fortune on clothing isn’t always feasible for everyone. But we here at Who What Wear believe that no matter your budget, you shouldn't have to sacrifice great style. We’ve rounded up 45 fashion finds, all under $50. From luxurious knits to expensive-looking boots, these items prove that having great style doesn’t have to cost a ton.
