Just because a new season is right around the corner doesn’t mean you should break the bank in search of the latest trends. If you’re looking for a few fashion-forward fall items, here’s a list of 10 that are priced at under $50.



Leather skater skirt – Dorothy Perkins, $44

Skater skirts are a fall trend that’s both comfortable and chic. Their structured top and flowy bottom give you a laidback feel, especially when paired with cool tights or a dressy sweatshirt. This faux leather skater skirt pairs the best of both worlds – a classic and flattering design mixed with edgy and raw materials.

Cozy beanie – Neff

We saw it time and time again on the fall runway – beanies are a major fashion staple. They make you look hip and comfortable and are ideal for those not-so-perfect hair days. These beanies by Neff are a great deal and come in a wide variety of colors.

Knee-high socks – Urban Outfitters, $14

High socks are crazy-versatile. They can be worn with a short skirt to minimize the amount of skin you’re baring, or paired with jeans and boots for a lived-in feel. Choose a pair of stockings that have a pattern or a little personality. This pair from Urban Outfitters is absolutely adorable.

Everyday tote bag – Zara, $35.90

This fall, it’s all about the basic tote that fits all you could ever need. This roomy pick from Zara has a classic yet bold design, with plenty of space for your work essentials. The color makes it feel like a true fall bag and the price tag isn’t ridiculous, either.

Effortlessly cool scarf – Natasha Couture from Nordstrom, $20

When you need to add just a little something extra to your outfit, a scarf is one of the easiest solutions. Pick one in a cool pattern that shows off your personality and pair it with basic jeans and a sweater or tee.

Trendy military jacket – Forever 21, $42.80

Military jackets have been killing it this year, with practically everyone owning a version. This unique pick has an adjustable cinched waist to accentuate and flatter your figure, with cool faux leather sleeves to add edge to any ensemble.

Laser-cut clutch – GoJane, $25

Laser-cut leather is all the rage, so compromise with a faux-leather handbag to compliment your wardrobe. This convertible clutch and crossbody has both the laser-cut look you’re searching for and fashion-forward stud detailing.

Cozy boyfriend cardigan – Nicola Marl, $40

Fall is my absolute favorite season, probably because I’m a sweater whore. There’s nothing that screams “autumn” more than a knit cardigan, made for layering. Pair your cozy sweater with a basic tee and attention-grabbing necklace.

Dark wash skinnies – Fire from Nordstrom, $48

With the emergence of chilly weather, it’s necessary to own at least one pair of skinnies you can tuck into your knee-high boots. Pick a dark wash pair that’s universally flattering and will make you look more put-together. Here are a few tips on finding the right jeans for your body type.

Versatile booties – Rocket Dog

Any fall wardrobe should have heeled ankle boots on hand to spice up an outfit. These deep brown cowboy-inspired booties are basic enough that you can wear them with nearly anything, but have just enough personality to turn heads.
