If scrolling through shopping pages was an Olympic sport, I'm pretty sure I'd be a top contender. I'm not an addict, it's just my job to keep up to date with what's on the fashion market, I promise. Having just graduating college, I haven't exactly had the most expansive budget for clothing so I've pretty much mastered the art of finding luxurious looking item from my favorite affordable retailers. And let me tell you—H&M, Mango, and Amazon have been dropping some pretty stellar options that hit the under $50 price point. Since I know many other people might not quite have the time to scroll through pages as I do, I did the work for you and rounded up my top picks.
Below, you'll find 30 items from elevated knits to bags that look like you picked them right off the 2021 runways. The year is finally ending, might as well treat yourself just a tiny bit.
H&M
An elevated take on your normal claw clip.
Perfect top for holidays at home, don't you think?
Get on the mini-skirt trend before your friends do.
I was shocked this was under $75 too.
It can be hard to find a quality blazer that's also under $50, but H&M seems to have you covered.
Just look at that back.
H&M's faux leather looks so expensive.
It can be difficult to find printed dresses that don't look tacky, and this one is a perfect option.
I can't promise this won't sell out ASAP.
Get yourself the matching top and you've got yourself a look.
Mango
This will look good on any outfit.
I've been eyeing a bag that looks just like this for 4x the price.
I feel like if I owned these, I'd actually look like an adult for once.
Can't go wrong with chain detailing.
Get your heels early for next season, or wear them with stockings now.
If you already own a pair of black leather pants.
Something about shoulder padding just takes an average t-shirt to a new level.
I know technically this isn't a fashion item, but imagine how chic you would look carrying your laptop in this.
I'm not a belt kind of girl but this has me convinced otherwise.
If you don't want to put a fortune into a mini bag.
Amazon
TikTok girls are wearing these everyday.
'90s perfection in every way possible.
A knit set you'll wear all season.
Save this for when you'll be attending events again.
The ultimate staple right now.
So sleek.
I've never met a pouch bag I didn't like.
You won't take this piece off.
Cool-girl approved sunnies.
Checker print is going to be all the rage in 2021.
