8 Editors on Their Most Satisfying Under-$100 Finds of the Year (So Far)

If you’re a regular Who What Wear regular reader, you know we get seriously excited when we find a great piece at an affordable price point, whether it’s a luxe-looking handbag or a trending new-season gem. And while we editors are all partial to a chic designer piece now and then, we certainly don’t overlook our more affordable prized possessions—especially the kind that have staying power in our wardrobes.

These are the type of fashion finds that warrant a smug-face emoji—because not only are they versatile and fashion-forward, but they also carry a modest price tag. From versatile tank tops to sandals that hit the biggest trends and dresses that garner a myriad of compliments, today we’re sharing our most satisfying sartorial finds of the year (so far!), all of which ring in at under $100.

“I actually have our editor Lauren to thank for putting these Zara tanks on my radar, but few things have been as inexpensive or useful as they have been for me this year. At $6 each, I bought two in black and two in white as soon as she showed them to me, and I think I’ve worn them all so much that the cost per wear is around one cent at this point.”

“I’ve been living in this tank all summer long. The neck dips low enough to create a really nice V shape, and so far, the straps haven’t stretched at all, which has happened in the past with similar style tops. I also love the rich brown color—a nice break from black.”

"With Jéan is always one of my go-to sources for affordable dresses and tops. This rust-colored halter dress is the perfect low-key piece to pack on vacation, but I also love wearing it with a pair of Chanel slingbacks (like I did here) to dress it up."

“These are by far my best purchase of the year so far. I’ve worn them more times than I can count with absolutely everything in my closet, from jeans to pretty floral dresses. Delicate strappy sandals and square-toes are two massively popular shoe styles we’ve seen this year, and these sandals nail the two trends perfectly. Moreover, every time I wear them, I’m pleasantly surprised how comfortable and walking-friendly they are. I’ll be wearing them until my toes turn blue and I eventually have to succumb to wearing boots again!”

“I finally added one of Aritzia’s famous ribbed tanks to my wardrobe this year and have been wearing it nonstop ever since. The thick material is really comfortable, and the square neckline makes it feel more special than my any of my other basics. Plus, it reels in the compliments like nothing else. Seriously, everyone needs to own this tank.”

“I was on the lookout for new gold jewelry earlier this year and came across these pretty earrings from NY-based brand Laura Lombardi. They look way more expensive than they are.”
