There's a specific type of heartbreak when you find a well-priced item and think, "I'll wait and see if it gets discounted," only to see it sell out. While scouting something at a great price is a euphoric feeling, there's always the "wait it out" feeling that can backfire and lead to total devastation. If there's one thing I know as a fashion editor, it's that items from certain shopping sites can lure you with the temptation of low prices.
To help you avoid the same fate I've been met with countless times, I curated a shopping list full of pieces that feel like a deal but won't leave you waiting for a risky markdown. A few of my favorite online retailers make doing so easy, producing compliment-worthy pieces at even more compliment-worthy prices. Think Aritzia, Zara, and H&M. Ahead, you'll find an array of under-$150 pieces from these three retailers that marry trendiness and timelessness, all at year-round prices that won't force you to wait for sale season to score a deal.
Rugby shirts are definitely trending.
This piece will always be at the top of your drawer.
Aviator-style sunglasses are shaping up for a fall takeover.
Longline shorts are here to stay.
A lifelong belt.

Catch yourself adding these to all of your fall looks.
