Expensive doesn’t always mean quality. In fact, there are plenty of brands creating expertly crafted affordable fashions. Whether you’re looking for a last-minute outfit to pack for an upcoming getaway or hoping to refresh your summer workwear wardrobe, there are plenty of sartorial savings to be had.
For clothing that embodies the effortlessly cool spirit of the season without looking slouchy, turn to elevated labels—like The Frankie Shop and Faithfull The Brand. Both have mastered the art of polished wardrobe staples at a fraction of the price. I’ve personally been drooling over The Frankie Shop’s sheer skirts and Faithfull The Brand’s lightweight sleeveless vests.
In the accessories department, you can always count on a classic pair of Castañer wedges. They even have Princess Kate Middleton’s stamp of approval. Or, if you’re looking for a meticulously crafted straw hat, Lack of Color has become the go-to brand. Even Gigi Hadid was spotted earlier this week wearing a new woven creation by the label.
I could wax poetic about these affordable summer finds all day long, but I won’t keep you from all of the sartorial fun. Discover ELLE’s edit of hot summer buys below.
