I’m just going to say it, I know a great affordable fashion buy when I see one. While I could sit down and explain in detail what exactly each of these finds so spot on, I prefer to rely on my gut instinct as it hasn’t led me astray yet. You know how I can tell when something is really good versus just okay? It happens when I come across items, like the below 25, that make me feel all sorts of extreme emotions like wonder, panic (?), and above all, pure delight. I’ll even go so far as to say the items featured here will likely have the same effect on you.

You see, I’ve scoured the internet from top to bottom and found a whole lot of affordable clothing buys that shook me to my core. Sure, you could waste the better half of an hour hunting down these jaw-dropping finds for yourself, or you could simply trust me and scroll through my edit to see the best under-$100 clothing items that are alarming me by how good they are. So choose wisely—and happy shopping!
