Elegant Is the Word—35 Impossibly Chic Finds That Are Somehow Under $150
As I've settled into 2024, I've realized that my style has notably pivoted over the past year toward a more elegant and classic look. I'm increasingly gravitating toward streamlined tailoring, polished handbags, and sophisticated flats over anything too trendy, and I know I'm not the only one who's doing so. The spring/summer 2024 runways overwhelmingly showcased a refined and grown-up mood, whether it was the satin evening coats at Altuzarra or the beautiful draping and A-line skirts at Brandon Maxwell. Now that those spring collections have hit the market, it should come as no surprise to see that the affordable shopping space is mirroring this overall style mood in its offering.
Plenty of the ideas put forth by the runways are now making their way onto the racks at outposts like Mango, COS, and Zara, so if you're also entering your elegant era, it's never been easier on your wallet to get the look. To save you some time, I did the legwork and pulled together 35 utterly sophisticated finds, including draped dresses, pointed-toe flats, frame bags, and cigarette trousers. Ahead, shop my favorite affordable finds that look chic but don't top $150.
Swingy A-line coats are on my radar after binge-watching FX's Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.
