When it comes to fashion trends and price points, unfortunately, we’ve found that not all are created equal. While that doesn’t mean there are any trends that are totally out of reach for those on a budget, finding affordable versions of certain ones simply comes easier than others. Take the trends I’ll be highlighting today, for example. While you could find them at any price point, you’ll soon see that the under-$100 iterations we’ve gathered today feel nothing short of a million bucks. So if you’re on a budget and looking to save but still want to snatch up some affordable and trendy items for spring and summer, let me suggest that you consider one of the six categories you’re about to read about and shop below.
Woven Bags
It seems like every warm-weather season, new iterations of the woven bag pop up that somehow top the last. This year there were too many cool, affordable options to choose from.
