Ready for some fresh fashion buys? Summer '23 has been off to a strong start, and the new-arrivals sections are really popping off now. Over the past few weeks, I've done a ton of trend research for the months ahead, poring over the recent collections, studying what buzzy designers are putting on their runways, and scanning my social media feeds for the most talked-about celebrity outfits. In other words, I have a pretty good grasp of what's hot in fashion right now—and I'm shopping accordingly.

From the dress shape quickly taking over this summer to the viral Reformation tank top and the prettiest accessories, I've concluded that the under-$150 items you're about to see below are some of the coolest affordable finds of the moment. I'm particularly excited about these items, and I know you will be too. So if you are shopping and want to add a new find that will make an impact sartorially without costing a lot, what's coming your way might be what you're looking for.

Such a chic upgrade from your basic white tanks.

These have been sold-out for weeks now, but lucky for you, I just found a bunch of stock on Revolve.

If the old-money aesthetic is what you're after, consider the search over. 

No, I won't get over how good this simple belt is.

People might think it's Chanel. And quite frankly, I'd let them.

If you heard me screaming about the affordable sunglasses brand I found on Nordstrom, now you know why.

I'll take the entire outfit, thank you very much.

For a wardrobe staple you'll have forever, $30 is such a steal.

The pretty drop-waist dresses have such a hold on me this summer. This micro-pleat style from Abercrombie is just the latest in my long list of favorites.

It's mid-July. Do you have a pair of linen pants on lock yet? 

Give neutral outfits a polish.

Norma Kamali's viral Pickleball dress is back in stock. For now.

The contrast stitching makes this look so elevated.

Vacation is calling. And I'm picking up.

If you told me these were from The Row, I'd be inclined to believe you.

Wait, are halter tops back? Because this is convincing me.

This dress looks like it just walked off the set of a '90s rom-com.

I might be making my own case here.

It's giving Victoria Beckham's viral green dress.
