Let's be honest. In this day and age, trendy and affordable pieces aren't difficult to find. In fact, they're most retailers' bread and butter. But trendy and affordable buys with longevity? Now, those are harder to come by, yet that's just what I was after when I sat down to peruse Ssense's latest offerings. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'm not one to buy trend-forward pieces that I'll only get a few wears out of. If I'm buying something, it'd better stand the test of time—or at least a handful of seasons.
I like shopping at Ssense because the retailer offers a mix of high-end and contemporary brands, ranging from aspirational mainstays like The Row to under-the-radar labels like Deiji Studios. The product curation is also top-notch; I was able to find many on-trend spring pieces, including athletic and boxer-style shorts, a shrunken polo shirt, and a smashing smocked Ganni dress for under $250. Don't believe me? I compiled 30 of my favorite pieces just below.
They say it's best to live with no regrets, and I'm not about to start with these finds. Happy shopping!
