A quick flip through the pages of a calendar can confirm that we're still in the midst of summer, but that has yet to deter me from thinking about fall. In fact, I've never been a patient person (I have other vices, I assure you), and that shortcoming shows most prominently in my desire to get to what's next. Whether that's the shoe trends of the moment or runway looks set to influence the look for the rest of the year, as an editor, I'm always feverously anticipating what's to come. So it's no surprise that I've already begun thinking about fall, specifically shopping for the new season.
From denim to outerwear to boots, fall shopping is unparalleled. But you don't have to just take my word for it—ahead, I've rounded up 45 affordable pre-fall pieces, all under $150. These finds are not only ideal for transitional weather, but they'll hopefully make you just as excited about the prospect of a new season as I am.
