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.”

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

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.
