I love to shop for everything (hence the job as a shopping editor), but shopping for accessories brings me a particular type of joy. They can make even the basics I've been wearing for years feel fresh. There's nothing that can take a great tank-top-and-jeans outfit to the next level like a stellar belt or that elevates a slip dress like the perfect pair of statement earrings. This summer, I'm focusing on making sure my accessory game is top-notch. Of course, I kept a budget in mind and scoured my go-to affordable retailers for the chicest under-$100 accessories I could find. I found everything I was looking for, including the perfect hats to wear poolside, earrings that would gain me compliments, belts that would elevate my basics, and summer bags your friends will be jealous of.
Keep scrolling to take a peek at the 35 under-$100 accessories I'm eyeing.
