Ah yes, Urban Outfitters—the retailer every Gen Zer knows a little too well. For most of us, the indie retailer sold us our first vinyl record players and cutoff Levi's denim shorts, introducing us to a world of nostalgic fashion and pastel-printed boho clothing that dominated the golden era of the internet in 2014. Now that Tumblr's popularity has come and gone, the retailer still remains a staple among me and my friends, and to be honest, I've been finding myself shopping it more than usual over the last few weeks. Perhaps it's the arrival of fall prompting the change or the low-cost, high-joy vibe I feel when I walk into my local shop a few minutes from my apartment. Although I'm on a tight budget thanks to a few holiday plans up my sleeve, I love to indulge in a little treat here and there, especially in the form of statement sunglasses and crop tops.
Lo and behold, I spent hours combing through Urban Outfitters to find the best under-$100 items after my group chat asked me what was on-trend on the website. As my group's resident fashion friend, I had to come in clutch. Thank me later!
This coat looks so luxe I was shocked when I saw it was from UO.
To take your basic white tee and jeans to another level, make sure to add a polished, sleek black belt for an extra oomph factor.
Just the right amount of slouch.
A good, basic black tee is always a must.
Chic!
My jaw literally dropped when I saw these.
Haven't you heard? Red is the color of the season.
No elevated shopping list would be complete without a pair of capri pants.
Ideal for layering with barrel jeans and a white tee.
Denim-on-denim looks will be huge this fall.
This may be the priciest thing on this list, but trust me—it's well worth it.
If a Parisian walked into UO, she's definitely picking up this elegant short-sleeve knit.
I'm a simple gal. I see a bubble skirt, and I buy it.
A boatneck tank always makes your outfit look 10 times more expensive.
Hailey Bieber would definitely approve of these minimalistic, It girl inspired shades.
Although you'd think this skirt is a bit too much of a micro-trend, you can pair it with a black long-sleeve or button-down shirt to make the print feel a bit more timeless.
Would you believe me if I told you this leather jacket was under $60?
Exaggerated cuffed jeans are so chic in my eyes.
Chic!
Adorable.
Meredith Blake would be proud of this elegant-looking vest.
The ideal mini.
A simple, classic button-down shirt is never a bad idea.
These work jeans scream "model off duty in Milan" to me.
IYKYK.
These black jeans are the perfect dark hue to go with any color in the fall.
My favorite basic on this list.
So cozy for the cold weather ahead.
This is such a classic silhouette.
This sheer lace miniskirt feels akin to what the cool girls wear to go out in Paris.
Another great basic top that'll go with everything in your closet.
I'll leave you with this pretty pair of flats.
