As the title implies, the story you’re about to read—or I guess are already reading—is a pretty straightforward roundup of cool and trendy winter finds, all under $50. Why? Because sometimes our hearts are telling us to spice up our wardrobes for the upcoming season, but our minds (informed by our bank accounts) are urging otherwise. So, the solution, of course, is to simply sprinkle in a few affordable fad finds that will give your upcoming outfits a forward feel. That way, you’re not breaking the bank or foolishly over-investing in something too trendy, but can still take on the new season in style. So, from fashionable yet practical puffers to crystal-embellished accessories to statement sweater, and everything in between, shop 25 editor-approved winter trend buys under $50 below, and if you want to a more in-depth look at each trend, head here next.
