Ready for some fresh fashion buys? Summer ’23 has been off to a strong start, and the new-arrivals sections are really popping off right now. Over the past few weeks, I’ve done a ton of trend research for the months ahead, poring over the recent collections, studying what buzzy designers are putting on their runways, and scanning my social media feeds for the most talked-about celebrity outfits. In other words, I have a pretty good grasp of what’s hot in fashion right now—and I’m shopping accordingly.
Based on my findings, I’ve come to the conclusion that the under-$150 items you’re about to see below—from the dress shape that’s quickly taking over this summer to the viral Reformation tank top and the prettiest accessories—are as some of the coolest affordable finds of the moment. I’m particularly excited about each of these items, and I know you will be too. So if you are shopping and want to add a new find that will make a huge impact sartorially but a small one financially, what’s coming your way might be what you’re looking for.
