One of my favorite shopping tasks is finding expensive-looking gems that don’t come with wildly expensive price tags. I get such a thrill from uncovering something fashion-forward and under $100. On that note, if someone handed me $100 right now and asked me to shop for them, I know exactly what affordable picks I’d recommend they consider (whether they’re looking for one piece or a few for that price point).
Below you’ll find my edit of the chicest under-$100 items. You’ll notice these selects feel relevant and of the moment, thanks to modern details and silhouettes. I’m referring to things like tailoring in relaxed cuts and sandals with strategically-placed straps.
Keep scrolling to see the best affordable items from Nordstrom, H&M, Shopbop, J.Crew, Zara, and more.
