5 Trends You and Your Wallet Can Love
It sometimes seems as if the whole world is wearing leather pants, oversized blazers, platform boots, puffer jackets, and cropped cardigans. Fashion influencers buy these items at high end, expensive stores. But, for many of us, luxury pieces are unattainable. Being on trend doesn’t mean spending a whole paycheck on one item. We hope that this article helps you feel confident in what you wear and how much you have spent. Here is a guide to trendy shopping while keeping your wallet happy.
Leather Pants
Leather pants are everywhere. It can be intimidating choosing the right ones, especially with the range of prices. Many stores like Revolve have leather pants that cost almost $500. However, cheaper options from Boohoo and Missguided are practically identical to Revolve’s but cost less than $30.
Oversized Blazers
Blazers are the best way to dress up any outfit. They’re perfect for a business casual look, as seen in the ASOS picture. Wide-legged jeans, a neutral top, and heels paired with a blazer is the perfect go-to outfit for any occasion. Blazers can be expensive, but here are two great affordable options. Both of these are neutral options, which we recommend for getting more use of your blazer.
Platform Boots
Cute, chunky, tractor-trek soled boots are a trendy staple. When shopping for these boots, many cost $100 or more. But, again, ASOS saves us by having adorable boots for only $56! Another great option is Amazon's boots. These boots have the same look as the ones at ASOS, and only cost $49.50. This was too good not to mention.
Puffer Jackets
For many, It’s officially cold, wet, and snowy. Puffer jackets are amazing for keeping warm while still looking put together. Switch up your look by wearing a bright colored puffer, or keep it professional with black. It’s impossible to go wrong with a puffer this winter season! Boohoo is a great choice again. Their Hooded Crop Shine Coat is the epitome of winter 2022 trends. However, if you’re looking for a bolder coat, this Pink Reflective Bubble Zip Puffer Jacket from PrettyLittleThing is perfect. Both of these jackets cost no more than $35. Your wallet will love you.
Cropped Cardigans
No matter your favorite color, there is a cropped cardigan that will satisfy your taste. These trending sweaters can be solid colors, have patterns or embroidery. They are effortless to style. Pair them with mom jeans and your favorite fashion sneakers for a casual, comfy outfit. Cropped cardigans often come in sets and can be a great two-for-one deal. Topshop’s knitted crop boxy cardi in blush is a winter staple, and Lord & Taylor’s Floral Embroidered Cardigan is perfect for transitioning into spring.
Staying on trend should not be a hassle or feel like a chore. It should be a fun, exciting change in your day to day life. We hope you love these trends that won’t break your bank. Happy shopping!
