If you aim for high style on a bargain-hunting budget, fashion and event stylist Angela Baltimore has some tips. Start with this pair of chunky, minimal, waterdrop earrings. More fun — and more striking — than dainty pieces, she says, “They add a statement on their own and complement most outfits.”

Designers may tempt you to spend your whole paycheck on this as similar-looking options can ring in at over $1,000. Baltimore says there is no need for that, though, since this is an “affordable great [option] to achieve the trend.”

“Metallic has been trending for a bit now and for good reason,” says Baltimore. “We’ve seen everything from metallic dresses to denim but I love a good metallic bag.” This metallic clutch with a chain is a great example. Small enough to wear like bling but big enough to hold your phone and some essentials, it is flashy and practical. If you aren’t ready to go all-in on metallic pants, it’s a great way to play with the trend while staying true to yourself, she tells Bustle.

“A metallic bag can also be dressed up or down for a casual day with jeans or an evening out,” she adds. “The best part is metallic bag acts as a neutral, so it allows for an easy go-to option when completing your look.”

Corset tops are also trending, says Baltimore. “I love this trend because it’s so versatile,” she adds. “It gives more interest than a basic cami or bodysuit and is available in so many fabric choices from leather to chiffon.” This corset top with a zip back, boning, and a stylish ruched front is a great example. It comes in tons of colors from neutrals to neons — though any choice makes a bold fashion statement.

“I also love that you can wear it alone, underneath your favorite blazer, or over top of a T-shirt or button-down,” Baltimore adds. “The styling options are endless.”

“We all know all things denim has been trending hard,” says Baltimore. “Out of all the styles, I think the maxi skirt is one of my favorites.”

This high-waisted, button-up denim skirt, for example, is a great piece. It’s casual and comfortable and you can add a sultry edge by unbuttoning a button or two. Pair it with a crop top or a baggy tee for a smart silhouette. “It invokes a bit of nostalgia remembering the days of your youth, but the chic and edgy updates give it a modern feel that’s just so now,” she adds.

“Statement sunnies have been trending,” says Baltimore. She likes these unique, inflated sunglasses as a way to play with this style. Lightweight but sturdy, they provide UV400 protection and come in bright colors to instantly dial up any look.

“A futuristic sunnie is the ultimate statement and adds the right amount of interest and juxtaposition to a simple outfit,” she says. “It’s also a nice departure from the usual styles we see.”

If you love your flip-flops but need to dress for an event that’s not casual enough for beachwear, these square-toe mules are the perfect option. “These comfy sandals are an elevated version of a flip-flop,” says Johnson. “Pair them with dresses, skirts, shorts, or jeans.”

That razor heel is a modern take on the pump and the 2.25-inch height is all-day comfortable. Their simple slide-on style is endlessly versatile and the nonslip sole helps ensure you’ll feel stable on your feet.

This affordable three-pack of straw elastic belts in three colors and patterns — with a stylish square buckle — is a great way to add the look to your summer wardrobe. The stretchiness of elastic gives these a comfy fit while delivering casual elegance.

“Adding different textures to your look ups the overall outfit,” she says, and as a bonus, it also adds definition.

When the sun is out, a hat is necessary. And if you are wearing a sun hat, why not own it and make it an integral part of your look? “A hat is perfect for protecting your skin,” says Warten. “But this one will add elegance to your outfit.”

The 3.5-inch brim is manageable — it won’t blow away or get in your way — but offers plenty of protection. The lightweight straw is cool and comfortable.

• Available colors: 2
• Available sizes: 1

Warten is also a fan of shades as a quick style upgrade. She tells Bustle, “Sunglasses add a coolness to any outfit!” She’s a fan of this pair of oversize sunglasses with a slightly squared lens. Stylish, cute protection from the sun — what’s not to love about that? These come in two match-everything colors — tortoiseshell and black.

For many people, summer means living in flip-flops. But you can do better without losing the ease or casual comfort. “Step up your outfit by switching from cheap flip-flops to a great slide,” suggests Warten. “They are actually more comfortable and are a timeless addition to your summer wardrobe.”

With so many colors to choose from — including clear, some slick metallics, and an on-trend lavender raffia — this is a fun and easy summer update.

• Available colors: 22
• Available sizes: 5 — 13

Warten also likes this unique bamboo handbag. It gives your outfit a gorgeous tropical vibe while carrying your essentials. The handle is big enough to slip over your arm and it has an airy but structured shape that makes it easy to find items inside.

• Available colors: 2

This flat sandal with a slightly puffy bow is another Warten suggestion and a warm-weather shoe option that’s as comfortable and easy to don as flip-flops. The knot gives it a fashion-forward elegance while the cushioned, flat leather sole is comfortable to walk in and offers your feet a soft landing. The four neutral colors are super wearable.

• Available sizes: 5 — 13

When you want to dress to impress step into this elegant wedge sandal Warten recommends. It’s easy to wear. Easy to fling off. And the 3-inch heel will make you taller, which can be a fun a power move. The skinny straps show off a pedicure and the wedge heel offers stability.

Warten is also a fan of this flap bag for accessorizing a warm-weather look.

If you’re ready to try a new brand — and one that’s affordable, taking care with the footprint it leaves on the planet, and available at the closest internet connection — Laurel Kinney, personal stylist at Laurel Kinney, tells Bustle, “Amazon Aware's brand kind of reminds me of H&M with slightly trendy basics.”

She likes this satin midi dress with adjustable spaghetti straps and a side slit. Made of recycled materials, it’s also carbon neutral so you can feel as good about buying it as you do wearing it.

• Available colors: 6
• Available sizes: XX-Small — 7X

The aforementioned slip dress is perfect for layering over Amazon Aware’s perfect short-sleeve T-shirt, advises Kinney.

“I might need these slouchy cool sweat shorts in every color,” says Kinney of these one-sided fleece shorts also from Amazon Aware. Made from a comfortable Tencel and Lyocell blend, these cushy shorts are a great warm-weather alternative to leggings or joggers and come in terrific colors, from basic black to lavender. The drawstring waist ensures a perfect fit and the just-above-the-knee hem makes them breezy without showing too much skin.

• Available colors: 6
• Available sizes: XX-Small — 7X

“Fair Indigo is another brand with cute basics,” says Kinney. “I like this edgier mock neck tee.” Made from Pima cotton with a bit of stretch, the short mock-neck and shrunken short sleeves give it an elevated style. The color options are rich and muted. A hint of spandex gives it some comfy give while holding its shape.

• Available colors: 9
• Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large

Leggings, of course, will always be in style but can also be surprisingly expensive. This pair of 7/8 pocket leggings from tentree is decently affordable, cute, and — with a phone-sized pocket on each upper thigh — likely to become your go-to bottom.

The neighborhood of “$40 for sustainably made pocket leggings is a pretty [amazing] deal,” Kinney tells Bustle, as tentree is a brand that’s committed to sustainable materials, ethical manufacturing practices, and has been carbon neutral since 2020.
