There comes the point in everyone's life where they reevaluate their relationship with clothing—they begin to think about how their clothing impacts the environment, how they shop, and what matters to them. Some people become devout minimalists and swear by a capsule wardrobe, others choose to support brands that are founded by marginalized communities, and some choose only to shop secondhand.
When it comes to my own relationship with clothing, I'm not only constantly weighing all the above issues, but I'm also thinking about buying truly unique pieces. I've realized that rather than opting in on every trend of the moment, it's far better to invest in a few conversational pieces that lend themselves to becoming a part of your forever wardrobe.
So with that in mind, I've scoured multiple retailers to find 32 unique fashion finds, all under $350. From clothing to shoes to handbags, these pieces toe the line ideally between timeless and distinct but aren't too out there, so they'll be easy to incorporate into any wardrobe.
What I love about this dress is that the silhouette is classic, but the floral print is one-of-a-kind.
The shape of this bag reminds me of a modern sculpture.
I own these mules, and they’re the perfect balance of timeless and trendy.
Cult Gaia’s pieces will always spark up a conversation. Trust me.
Can you tell I'm a fan of hardware?
I love that these mules are both functional and fashionable.
At first sight, this looks like a simple little black satin dress, but if you zoom into the straps, they’re made of faux pearls, making it something else entirely.
These are the vibe I'm trying to be on all summer.
Is it just me, or does this top look like literal art?
I don’t always wear denim, but when I do, I love to wear pairs that feature interesting details (ahem, see the chain cutouts on this pair).
A pair of statement heels will always be a staple in my books.
Mark my words: Homage Year’s unique bags are bound to be the next It bags.
Someone, please send help—I can’t stop staring at this wrap top.
I love trousers in an unexpected hue.
There's nothing I love more than an interesting pair of hoop earrings.
Not your basic linen dress.
Dorthy's signature shoes got a 2022 upgrade.
Anytime I find a BY FAR bag on sale, I add it to the cart.
Betting this will replace your favorite tank.
I’ll never get over this pair of shorts. They’re utter perfection.
Sequin sandals are always a yes in my books.
Why not buy a colorful orange bucket hat?
Crochet is all I want to live in this summer.
Dialing up the heat.
The color of this Brandon Blackwood bag makes this beloved handbag shape all the more special.
Simple yet stunning.
You'll wear these well into the fall.
Everyone needs neutral sandals, but the weaving on this one will ensure you stand out from the crowd.
Buy this now and wear it forever.
Ideal for rainy summer days in New York City.
Don't be fooled—this isn't just another black dress. This is the most unique LBD in the game, as it's made from terrycloth-inspired fabric with a contrasting neckline and a '90s silhouette.
Okay, Steve Madden, I see you.
