31 Outrageously Chic Under-$100 Spring Finds Fashion People Would Have a Hard Time Passing On
We had two days of beautiful 70-degree weather in NYC this week, and now all I can think about are chic spring outfits. I wrote before how I use this time of year as an excuse for a closet clean-out. If successful, I'm left with empty space in my closet. The problem is, it doesn't last very long. Habit of the occupation, I suppose. But with the thrill of warmer weather ahead, I'm planning to outfit my closet with only the chicest (and affordable) season-appropriate finds. That means no dated spring trends (ahem, barrel-leg jeans and boring accessories), a plethora of chic under-$100 buys, and versatile basics.
Ahead, 31 editor-approved under-$100 fashion finds chic people on a budget would love. You'll find 2026 sneaker trends like the Adidas Tokyo Mary Jane Sneakers, elevated basics from Dissh, J.Crew, H&M, lace-trim satin shorts, dramatic sunglasses from oversize aviators to '90s-esque slim frames, thong kitten heels, white denim, and even one of 2026's most divisive pants trends yet: the balloon pant.
