How to Snag Fall’s Hottest Trends for $100 or Less

How to Snag Fall’s Hottest Trends for $100 or Less


Summer is unofficially in the books, so we're turning our attention to fall fashion. Beyond the evergreen faves (Chunky knits! Traffic-stopping trousers!), it's the runway trends with IRL Kaia Gerber appeal that will have everyone buzzing in a few short weeks. So rev up the western influence, dial in the Kirakira sparkle, or embrace your inner Cher Horowitz. The best part? You don't have to spend a fortune to snag the season's up-and-coming lewks. Swipe through for 10 fall trends that will have you ballin' on a $100 budget.
Two-Tone: Split personality much? Take color blocking to the next level with two-tone clothing and accessories that command attention. Our pick: This pale peach and lavender Pixie Market Vision Twist Dress ($96) that encapsulates Scandinavian simplicity to a T.
Into the Wild: THIS is the season that you treat animal print like a neutral. (Girl, we know you already have a certain Réalisation Par leopard slip skirt on standby anyway.) Go big or go home with these Topshop Yellow Leopard Print Mom Jeans ($90), featuring traffic-stopping Yayoi Kusama-esque spots.
Belt Bags: First it was fanny packs, then bumbags slung haphazardly across your chest, and now belt bags are proving to be the mainstay accessory for fall. Rock this free-wheelin' Here/Now Geometric Leather Belt Bag ($40) alongside a boxy cropped t-shirt and mom jeans as your off-duty uniform.
Patterned Prairie Dresses: The latest interpretation of Little House on the Prairie is anything but wholesome — we promise. Team this Vero Moda Floral Prairie Dress ($76) with a pair of cowgirl boots (or better yet, "ugly" dad trainers) and a subversive smokey eye.
Plexiglass Sunglasses: Teeny-tiny Matrix shades, meet your match. These retro-fabulous Poppy Lissiman Toxic Pop Sunglasses ($75) — note the '60s coloration — will look dope with everything from throwback flares to sporty racing stripes.
Cher Horowitz Plaid: From Versace to Michael Kors, Cher Horowitz-inspired plaid took the Fall 2018 catwalk by storm. Do Alicia Silverstone proud with this Guess + UO Plaid Trucker Jacket ($98) and some heavy-duty combat boots.
Corduroy Everything: Call it '70s redux, call it hippie-dippie, but trust that Marcia Brady-worthy corduroy is on the verge of having a moment. Toss this plush powder blue H&M Corduroy Jacket ($80) on alongside a feminist tee for instant street cred.
Cowboy Mule: No bolo tie required to test-drive the shoe of the season. Style these Zara Cowboy Mules ($90) with anything from a CEO-approved pantsuit to an off-duty anorak for triple the slayage this fall.
Western Influence: Giddy up, cowgirl! This Madewell x Karen Walker Embroidered Horseshoe Tee ($45) is single-handedly inspiring us to venture out west. Toss in an asymmetric denim mini skirt, a Georgia O'Keeffe-inspired hat, and an ascot scarf for top style accolades.
Kirakira Shine: Don't let anyone dull your sparkle. Whether you reach for oversized sequin paillettes accent or all-over sheen, just know that Kirakira shine keeps getting bigger. Give this shimmery Sunday Best Olive Skirt ($85) a twirl with a cable knit sweater and crushed velvet Mary Jane pumps.
