I tend to invest in pieces that I know I’ll wear for years and years to come. With that in mind, there are a few things I look for. Among them, are timeless designs, silhouettes that read as polished, and pieces that will work with the wardrobe I have built over time. Sometimes I’ll splurge on great designer pieces, but I’m also always on the hunt for elevated pieces at more affordable price points. Since it’s my job as a fashion editor to know what is on the market, I’m always looking for the best new drops.

Ahead, I’m highlighting some of my latest finds. From minimal sandals and sleek sunglasses to polished swimsuits and anti-trend dresses, I’ve put together an edit of the affordable pieces I would add to my cart immediately. Here, the coolest elevated under-$100 shopping to add to your closet right now.
