What to Buy From Net-a-Porter If Your Vibe Is Elevated and Your Budget Is $500
While Net-a-Porter is synonymous with high-end designers and all things luxury, as someone who scours the site nearly every day as a part of their job, I know that it is also a trove of more-affordable finds. Whether it’s a Saint Laurent belt at an approachable price point or a piece from one of their many contemporary brands such as Loulou Studio—who’s responsible for the traffic-stopping, under-$400 dress you see above—there’s always something, if not many things, for someone looking to spend, but not spend too much.
Those types of in-between steals are just what I’ve honed in on today for this fall-ready roundup. From pants and sweaters to boots and belts, below you’ll find thirty-three elegant buys that work within a $500 budget or less and have you looking like a million bucks while you’re at it. To see what made the list, simply keep scrolling.
I have these pants in green and they're one the few "oversized" items that suit my petite frame.
There's a reason all our editors (and readers) love Agolde jeans.
I own these so I can tell you from firsthand experience that they're the perfect mary-janes.
At first, this looks like a trendy buy but I can see myself wearing it for years.
These feel special enough to stand out in but still simple enough to wear all the time.
I'm loving this unexpected color for a pinstripe.
The matching pants are a no-brainer.
I saw this on Grece on my feed (pictured above) and instantly had to have it.
