42 Under-$100 Summer Fashion Items That Look Too Chic to Be This Affordable
If your goal this summer is to look chic, expensive, elegant, "quiet luxury," timeless, forward, and all the other great things, but you think your budget isn't in line with those objectives, today I'm here to help you out. Because if there's anything I've learned in my years as a fashion editor, it's that it's truly possible for anyone to look put-together regardless of how much they can or want to spend on fashion.
This rings true year-round, but I find that it is especially true in the warmer months when there tends to be a plethora of cool yet chic options that don't break the bank. From tailored shorts to midi dresses to leather sandals and woven bags, the cornerstones of a polished summer wardrobe are readily available at any budget—and they're pretty much all below for less than $100. Ready to get shopping? Just keep scrolling.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
