I've Been a Fashion Editor for 10 Years—These Are the Best Under-$49 Fall Finds I've Ever Seen
Did you really think I'd let you get even one step closer to fall without an epic affordable shopping roundup? Never! In honor of the fast-approaching Labor Day, I found everything you could possibly need for the season ahead, from sweaters and pants to shoes, bags, and jewelry, all for—you guessed it—under $49. Well, maybe not everything. The inaugural warm beverage of your choosing is beyond my scope, but from a fashion standpoint, I've got you covered.
Of course, I had some help from my favorite brands and sites, including Zara, Nordstrom, H&M, and even Amazon. You know, all the usual suspects for both trend-forward pieces and timeless basics on a budget. Ready to get started? Just keep scrolling to shop all 49 of my finds and prepare for your most fashion-forward fall yet.
I can't help but include these perfect slingbacks every time.
Oh, and there's a matching shirt.
Everyone knows I love a good party dress and this is indeed that.
This skort is ideal because it looks like a skirt, even in the back.
Brown suede is going to be everywhere come fall, so why not get ahead of the game?
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.
