While it may feel like summer really just began, somehow we’re officially at that point where we’re already starting to turn our attention to fall fashion. Warm-weather wardrobes are hopefully complete (or close to it) and, if not, you might not feel like splurging on sandals, a swimsuit, or dress with roughly only half the season left. So, what’s one to do? Of course, I’ve got you covered.
Today I’ve rounded up twenty-five summer-ready trend pieces and essentials, all of which are under $25 so that if you’re still in need of something to wear on a day-to-day basis or to complete a special outfit, you won’t feel like you over-spent on it once the next season rolls around in seven-or-so weeks. At first, it may seem like I completed a near-impossible task, however, thanks to some of our favorite sites like Amazon, H&M, and Nordstrom, it was actually quite easy. To get started shopping all my picks, just keep scrolling.
And later, you can actually use it as a scarf.
Amazon for the win.
A chain necklace adds to any outfit.
Ok, so it's technically not "under" $25, but I felt like this was worth cheating for.
Oh hot days, cotton is key.
Here's one way to beat the heat.
You'll use these slides for years to come.
This headband will pair so well with all your simple dresses.
In need of white tanks? H&M is a goldmine.
I'm partial to this "rose gold sparkle," but any of the thirteen colors that these shorts come in will do.
This embroidered bucket hat has the ratings to back it up.
Gotta love a smocked dress.
Summer in hair clip form.
Halters are back—have you heard?
The perfect cut.
For fancier outings.
How lovely is this?
For all your stacking needs.
This is exactly how I'd wear this top, too.
This color is everywhere right now.
Buckle details make everything better.
You'll use these well into fall and winter, too.
For when you're sick of your basics.
I'm a sucker for cute, little pouches.
This color!
