I look at fashion all day every day (it’s part of my job!), but despite being tempted by a whole host of chic clothing 24/7, I am generally not an impulsive shopper. In fact, I like to take time to think about what I’m purchasing before I hit the buy button. I guess you could say I’m pretty picky when it comes to the style, fit, silhouette, and quality of the clothes I buy.

Being a picky fashion editor can be especially challenging when I’m on a budget. That’s why I like to shop with somewhat of a game plan. This season, I’m narrowing my shopping list down to some key trends and styles that feel of-the-moment for fall/winter but are also super wearable. The best part? All my picks are under $150. Keep scrolling to take a peek.

Sweaters are a part of my daily wardrobe throughout the cold weather season and there’s no doubt, they can get pricey. This season I’m looking for knits with elevated details, relaxed and sleek silhouettes, and a luxurious neutral hues.

Vibrant, fiery red is the most popular color of the season, and integrating the popular hue within your outfit via a sweater or accessory is the perfect way to look on-trend this season. 

Long wool coats are having a major moment this season, but they make for a great investment, as they’re timeless in nature and will make your outfit look polished in an instant. While affordable options are hard to come by, I’ve added some of my favorites within my budget below.

Sure, boots will be on heavy rotation this season, but we’re still seeing chic flats continue to dominate. All you need to do is style them with a pair of black tights for the colder season. Whether you go for must-have Mary Janes or statement metallic ballet flats, they’re one of the key items you won’t regret buying into this season.

Loose and relaxed jeans continue to reign supreme this season—oozing an effortlessly cool vibe. While jeans can get pricey, I found a number of chic options under $110 that lean into the of-the-moment denim trend.
