While it’s easy to find stylish dresses in the hundreds (even thousands) these days, it’s always refreshing to come across a few that you love without the chill-inducing price tag. At least, I feel that way, and lately, I’ve been getting the sense that we’re on the same page, which is why I thought you guys would too.

Seeing as fall is right around the corner, I figured it might be the perfect time to round up such frocks (and, of course, jumpsuits) so that you can make your life easier and style them with ankle boots all season long. From bold florals to of-the-moment animal prints to flattering stripes and of course a few utility-inspired ones, simply continue on to shop the best under-$50 dresses and jumpsuits from our Who What Wear collection right now.

Up next? Our favorite boot brands to wear with all these dresses, naturally.

“I want my outfit to look like it cost less than it really did,” said no one ever. Faking an expensive wardrobe is something we’ve touched on before, breaking down the styling tricks and key fall trends to shop if you want others to assume you’re wealthier than you might actually be. One thing’s clear: You don’t have to go out and spend a fortune in order to look good. In fact, the amount you actually spend shopping has nothing to do with an expensive-looking outfit. It’s all in the details.

We’ve identified a singular shoe trend that always looks elevated, polished, and—yes—like it comes with an impressive price tag: mock-croc shoes. While not actually made of crocodile skin (because $$$), the print closely resembles the real thing. Enter: our Who What Wear collection version. We may be a little biased, but we happen to strongly believe our Suri Faux Leather Croc Heeled Mule Pumps are the wisest way to spend $35 this month (and this whole season, if we’re being honest).

Three is a trend, but we spotted at least six iterations of Tevas on the runways of New York Fashion Week. We think that makes for a certifiable craze.

While the return of practical, arguably “ugly” shoes is an old concept by now—Havaiana flips-flops, Crocs, and Birkenstocks have been in and out of rotation as well—it makes a strong statement when so many different designers agree on the same footwear to represent their new collections. For S/S 19, the message couldn’t have been clearer: Get yourself a pair of Teva sandals.

Luckily, like with the practical and polarizing shoe trends that came before it, we’re looking at a very low buy-in to try this trend for ourselves. The original two-strap Teva sandals cost $50. If you want something a bit bolder, the chunkier flatform pairs begin at $60 while the completely tricked-out pairs à la Area’s crystal ones are a bit more of an investment.

Scroll down for all six examples of Tevas and Teva-inspired sandals at the New York shows. We’ll keep our eyes peeled the rest of fashion month to determine whether this trend goes international.

Believe it or not, just like tops, shoes, and bags, intimates go through trends. While certain pieces will always have their moment (you can never have too many black lace bras), there are also unexpected lingerie trends worth checking out. Ever heard of naked or keyhole underwear? We hadn’t either, but they’re everywhere, and it’s officially time to try them. Since the world of intimates is vast and daunting, we’ve done the hard work for you and rounded up the chicest lingerie of the moment. Whether you like structured underwire bras, unlined bralettes, or just a new slip to wear to sleep, there’s something for you here. Shop our favorites below.

It’s no secret that fashion week runways typically employ models of a certain age—a young age. Catwalks across the globe from New York to London to Milan to Paris and beyond primarily feature women in their late teens to mid-twenties. While there are plenty of these ladies who we adore (Kaia Gerber, Taylor Hill, Binx Walton come to mind) we can’t help but long for representation of different ages. After all, these designers are selling to women at every age and most women who can afford designer clothing are generally more established in their careers and thus older. With this on the mind, we noticed a handful of fashion shows during New York Fashion Week that embraced age diversity and we immediately started taking note. From an artist who walked in the Maryam Nassir Zadeh show to a 69-year-old who marched down the catwalk in lingerie, scroll down to see the “older” models who killed it during New York Fashion Week and shop our picks from each of the brands to embrace the movement.

As far as bridal wedding attire goes, it’s the wedding dress that gets the majority of the attention (as it should), but there are other things to think about that should be more than just an afterthought, e.g., your rehearsal dinner dress. The evening before the main event is usually more relaxed, so you can have a little more fun with your dress.

Many brides choose to stick with the white or blush theme, but others choose to think outside the box a bit and wear something blue, metallic, or even red. The most important factor when it comes to your rehearsal dinner dress is that you feel beautiful enough and it’s special enough to stand out, even if other attendees are wearing the same color or style of dress. 

Since few rules apply when it comes to choosing the perfect rehearsal dinner dress, it can be a bit overwhelming, so we took the initiative and found 21 dresses that would suit the momentous occasion beautifully.

A couple things we love: Sarah Jessica Parker and Madewell skinny jeans. Put the two together, and it’s newsworthy to us. Stepped out today for an appearance at her namesake store in New York, SJP was seen wearing a look that’s more classic than what she usually goes for. Of course, as we know, the perfect jeans don’t require a lot of bells and whistles.

The jeans in question are Madewell’s black high-rise button-through skinnies, complete with a bit of stretch and a cropped raw hem. Based on the celebrity endorsement, five-star rating with 142 reviews, and $135 price tag, we’re pretty sure that you should buy them if you’re in the market for a new pair of skinny jeans for fall. With the jeans, SJP wore a cropped white button-down shirt and a shoe style that we don’t often see: high-heel Oxfords. While they may give some people pause, you have to admit that they look quite cool with the simple outfit, so we, for one, are certainly not opposed.

The sparkly shoes are from her brand’s upcoming fall collection, but you can shop a similar pair, as well as the ultra-flattering jeans, below.

When it comes to reviving old trends, it seems no stone is left unturned at this point. Shoulder pads, bike shorts, fanny packs, the list goes on and on. Such is the case with gladiators, it seems. Kendall Jenner was spotted stepping out of a cab in Paris wearing none other than knee-high gladiator sandals, pairing the statement shoes with a ’70s-inspired lace-up, fringe minidress.

The look was similar to her ensemble that she wore to the S/S 19 Longchamp show in New York earlier in the week, when she styled a purple suede minidress with her gladiators for the front row (both designed by Longchamp). Jenner partnered with the iconic brand with a stunning campaign honoring its 70th anniversary, including a short film, #TheEncounter, featuring a horse and the model in Paris.

So does this mean a return to the gladiator trend? We’ll have to wait until next spring to find out for sure. In the meantime, scroll down to see the look and head over to shop our favorite ankle boots for fall.
