I Asked My Colleagues What I Should Buy With £150—Here's What They Suggested

Working as a fashion editor has its advantages. Day in and day out, we meticulously examine collections and scour the internet in search of noteworthy items that we can't wait to share with you. If you're a regularBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing
UK reader, you're already aware that we strive to feature a diverse range of prices and brands. This includes popular selections from the high street that have captivated our fellow fashion editors and influencers, investment-worthy purchases that truly justify your hard-earned cash, and hidden gems from independent brands that deserve recognition.
It's through our combined years spent exploring the shopping space that we're able to determine what's going to work hard in a wardrobe and what's going to end up simply taking up space. Given the current landscape, where everyone's budgets are carefully considered, we need to be more thorough than ever, not just in finding pieces we think will be of value to you, but in being more discerning about the items we actually want to buy for ourselves, too. As such, our on-site edits have become tighter—and so have our personal shopping wish lists.
So, as we embark on the autumn season (and I look to treat myself with some of my payday earnings), I decided to ask our in-house style experts to narrow down their wish lists to just a couple of items that they have their eye on right now, with the caveat that each item has to be £150 or under. Interest piqued? Scroll on to see our editors' respective affordable shopping picks. Enjoy!

"Crochet on the high street can be very basic and cheap-looking, but this delicate and detailed fabric from Whistles is truly astounding! It comes with a matching pencil skirt and I love the idea of wearing this on holiday with a high-coverage black bikini underneath..”

"Simple, but effective. With Nothing Underneath's seersucker co-ord is the kind of expensive-looking outfit that gives the impression that you spent ages getting ready (even if it took five minutes). I'd wear these boxers time and again with a slouchy sweatshirt or a tank top.”
"If you haven't checked out the Zara site lately, you'll have missed the red hot renaissance happening in the new-in section. I've been obsessed with this billowing shirt since it first landed, and every time a size sells out it gets closer to making its way out of my wish list and into my basket. Next up, the red trousers to match.”
"Slow summer is steadily becoming my favourite season, largely due to the excuse to wear pieces like this without the accompanying sticky heatwave Sure, spring has pretty dresses and autumn has cosy knits, but you won't get chicer (or more comfortable) than these dressed-up flip flops with a flowy midi. It's the kind of transitional shoe that you'll be wearing next spring too.”

"Last year's jorts trend isn't going anywhere, but it has evolved. Whilst in 2023 we were loving frayed denim shorts, this season we're looking to neaten things up with hemmed versions that have a slightly longer cut, much like a tailored Bermuda short. The secret to pulling these off is to ensure they have a slightly wider leg and end above the knee. I love this deeper mid-blue wash pair from Gap, and the way they're styled simply here—with loafers, a belt and white shirt—is perfection, IMHO"
"There's not a day that goes by where I don't thank the kitten heel trend for smartening up my office wardrobe. Where I once would have been either underdressed in sneakers or uncomfortable in a mid-heel mule, I'm now able to walk to and from work with one pair of elevated shoes. As brown is overtaking black as the dark neutral hue this year, I have my eyes on these from Charles Keith."
"Maybe it's because I've spent too much time on TikTok, or watched one too many episodes of Sex and the City, but I can't seem to shake my recent obsession for bandanas. This one from Anthropologie caught my eye because I'm a huge advocate for crochet, especially in summer. If you too experience bad hairs at festivals or the beach, this accessory is for you."

"I never used to be a hat girl, but over the last year I have found myself gravitating towards them more and more. This raffia bucket-style number has caught my attention because not only does it look super chic, but it’s also easy to travel with, unlike a traditional wide-brim iteration."
