Ever since I was young, I have been the go-to person for my friends and family when it comes to shopping and style advice. I have assisted with various tasks, from helping my cousin put together her bridal shower outfit to advising my sister-in-law on how to spend her Saks gift card wisely. My latest project? Assisting my friend in finding the most stylish and versatile items from Reformation, all priced under $200.
The sustainable womenswear brand has become my go-to for high-quality items that effortlessly take me from casual outings to elegant events. Since I am what you might call a Ref girl, I was confident I'd find my friend some forever pieces. I also prepared myself for the potential challenge of sticking to her $200 budget, considering that a lot of Ref's items are priced around $250. After several hours of browsing the website, though, I was pleasantly surprised to uncover a wide selection of chic and wallet-friendly buys.
Considering you, the reader, a friend, I also wanted to share my carefully curated list of 32 affordable Reformation picks with you. With summertime in full swing, you'll find essential warm-weather items designed to keep you looking and feeling cool no matter how high the temperatures get. Additionally, there are lightweight sweaters, linen pants, and party dresses that you can seamlessly transition into the fall season. If you have yet to explore Ref's shoes, you'll have the opportunity to see a few of my favorites in that category too.
Without further ado, I invite you to scroll down and discover your new favorite Ref pieces.
