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.
