I'm a Fashion Editor—Here Are the Under-$300 Finds I'm Recommending for Fall

It’s not too late for a late-summer trip, but it’s also not too early to begin shopping for fall. The new season arrivals are flying onto the shelves of retailers, and there are some great finds to add to your wardrobe for the season ahead. If you’re after investment buys, I made an edit of my finds that don’t keep price limits in mind, but I also combed the internet for the affordable pieces that are equally editor-endorsed.
Here, I’m sharing the under-$300 fall shopping finds that are primed to be the backbone of your wardrobe this season. Pieces like preppy knit polo tops, khaki jeans, suede sneakers, and printed silk scarves are just a few of my top recommendations, but there are plenty more to have on your radar.
Ahead, see the affordable fall shopping finds in my edit—including some well-priced designer finds that I sourced.
