41 Under-$50 Finds That Aren't From Zara
As you may already have read in the past, I have somewhat of a love-hate relationship with Zara. Love for reasons like cool clothes, great prices, and tons of trends. Hate for reasons like takes all my money, everyone else has what you buy, addictive, etc.
So since at the moment, my on-again-off-again relationship with the fast-fashion giant seems to be very much off, today I've decided to look to some of my other favorite affordable sites and brands to see what under-$50 treasures I could find. From shoes and bags to dresses and tops, shop my picks of items you won't see everyone else wearing but will love as much as your last Zara score below.

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.
