While I have an ongoing wishlist of what I want to buy each season, I keep myself limited to a budget—most of the time. There are a few trends that I prefer investing in, but I still like to add a few affordable pieces to my closet when the new season rolls around. (Life is all about balance, no?) If you’re also looking to find a few trend-forward pieces to add to your outfit rotation and not spend over $100, then you’ve come to the right place. Also, trust me when I say that although the picks below may be trendy, I prioritized ones you’ll actually want to keep in your closet for seasons beyond this one.
Ahead, I have highlighted 5 major fall 2021 trends that some of the most popular affordable retailers are doing really well right now. From vests to tonal tailoring, the trends ahead are my current go-to’s and I have a feeling you’ll be on the same page as me by the time you reach the end of this story.
