Fun Fact: My Favorite Summer Tees, Shorts, and Sandals Are Under $50

There’s a lot of chic summer clothing out there. But today, I wanted to focus particularly on a trio of staples. Yep, I’m talking about T-shirts, shorts, and sandals. Specifically, I thought I’d highlight a smattering of my favorite styles I’ve been spotting over the last weeks. And fun fact: All of said items just so happen to ring in under $50. But here’s the kicker: While all of the pieces coming your way do come with a more affordable price tag, they all look quite high-end given their classic and forward details.
Intrigued? Keep scrolling for an edit of chic tees, shorts, and sandals if you’re shopping at the moment or want to add to a list to reference later.
