Most Wanted is a weekly series in which oneBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing team member or friend of the brand will share the top 25 finds on their current wish list.
I'm a huge fan of summer. Massive. I'm also a big fan of things that only look expensive, and since 2020 is definitely a year of going easy on the spending, I'm honoring the fact that summer has finally arrived with this roundup of surprisingly affordable accessories.
TBH, my summer wardrobe is pretty well set at this point a few years of more considerable shopping from fave spots like The Undone means I've got a really good base of timeless pieces that will last me many seasons to come. So, at the moment, accessories are where I go to play.
All of these look way more luxe than their price tags. All of these are modern takes on chic, timeless classics. All are on trend this season, but much more importantly, will be in style for many, many summers to come. Woven bags? Flat leather slides? Gold jewelry? You bet. All coming in under $46. Have at it!
Add something a little summery to your necklace party.
The most summery bag of all the summer bags, and an absolute steal for only $30. (It also comes in pink, if that's your jam.)
If you're looking for Black-owned jewelry brands to support, you need to know about Yam. They're pleasantly affordable (lots of pieces under $100), made in Queens, NY, and selling out, so be sure to follow them on Instagram before they restock some of my other fave pieces (like this sun choker).
Be hands-free when you want to be.
The hat that's saved me from getting sunburnt (while staying in line with a dress code) at many a summer wedding.
Not only does this vegan leather belt look super elevated, but since it's woven you can secure it anywhere (instead of being stuck with where the holes were punched). It works as well with regular-rise denim shorts as it does with high-waisted trousers or to cinch in a dress. One day—when we travel again—this is the only belt you'll need to pack.
Of all the bucket hats I've tried, this one's the best.
This is the runner up.
This bag is a 12 monther. (And the strap just feels really good to hold onto… People who have one, you know what I mean.)
These. Look. Expensive.
A staple.
Still minimal, just a little more interesting, and very on sale.
Missoma is also here to upgrade your hair situation with their 18ct gold-plated clips.
Love minimal gold jewelry in more organic shapes. Handmade by a Black-owned small business in Georgia, these bracelets are shoppable via Amazon and surprisingly affordable enough to stack as aggressively as it pleases you.
I honestly don't remember what I wore on my feet before slides were a thing.
I once did not know super scrunchies were a thing, but I'm now converted and can't remember what it was like to live that way.
It doesn't really get more on-trend-meets-wardrobe-staple than this ruched (check) mock-croc (check) '90s-inspired (check) shoulder bag (check).
If that bag were a pair of sandals, it would be these.
Such a big fan of owning cool sunglasses I don't have to continually stress about.
I don't know what's going on, but Mango's accessories are really good.
Summer requires lawn-friendly heels.
As someone who loses earring backs like it's her job, I file these little guys under everyday essentials.
These affordable slides make every summer outfit look fresh.
Jazz up those ankles.
These + your summer denim.
