If scrolling through shopping pages was an Olympic sport, I'm pretty sure I'd be a top contender. I'm not an addict, it's just my job to keep up to date with what's on the fashion market, I promise. Having just graduating college, I haven't exactly had the most expansive budget for clothing so I've pretty much mastered the art of finding luxurious looking item from my favorite affordable retailers. And let me tell you—H&M, Mango, and Amazon have been dropping some pretty stellar options that hit the under $50 price point. Since I know many other people might not quite have the time to scroll through pages as I do, I did the work for you and rounded up my top picks.
Below, you'll find 30 items from elevated knits to bags that look like you picked them right off the 2021 runways. The year is finally ending, might as well treat yourself just a tiny bit.

It can be hard to find a quality blazer that's also under $50, but H&M seems to have you covered.
