Feels Like a Steal: Shop Vogue Favorite Under-$300 Finds

Love a good fashion find? Same. And while there’s plenty we recommend on a daily basis, what makes us play for keeps is in the name: when it feels like a steal. Anything is fair game, as long as it’s under $300. Think of it as a direct line into our wardrobes, with the fashion math to back it up. Expect new names and upcoming brands—spotlighted weekly by our editors.

Summer isn't complete without a straw bag; Muuñ’s feels like a total gem for less than $250. Spacious enough for the city and weekend escapes alike, the drawstring closure keeps everything secure, and the shape fits all my essentials (and then some). Handwoven in Ghana and finished in France, it’s an elegant woven bag that’ll elevate any look—essentially, the perfect summer carryall. —Andrea Zendejas, shopping market editor

When summer emerges, so do a flurry of summer jewelry brands who have a distinct point of view and add a touch of personality and uniqueness to your wardrobe. Julietta is one of those labels—they manage to be something to everyone without loosing its identity; from onyx necklaces, statement shells and this turquoise stone necklace, its pieces are proof a small statement goes along way. And with most of its pieces ringing in under $300, you’ll easily get your price per wear. —Libby Jane Page, global executive shopping director

I never thought I could pull off Bermuda shorts at 5’2”—in my mind, you had to be tall to wear them. And so, for as long as I can remember, I’ve steered clear of anything knee-length; there was no happy medium between mini or midi. What drew me to Leset’s black Bermuda shorts one recent Saturday in the West Village I can’t quite say; likely, a mix of joyous optimism and the chance desire to step out of my comfort zone and try something unexpected. I loved everything about them from the moment I put them on: the effortless pull-on silhouette, the seamless crepe fabric, and, to my greatest surprise, the length. They hit me just below the knee when worn on the natural waist, and since they don’t have pleats, flare out in the most flattering way. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve worn them in the weeks since buying them—I’m only half joking when I say it might be a problem. I’ve yet to find a more perfect summer short. —Talia Abbas, shopping director

Chan Luu’s taffeta pants were a favorite of mine the moment I first tried them. The subtle sheen perks up the simplest of outfits, adding just the right amount of dressed-up without trying too hard. They also work around the clock: polished for the office with a button-down, easy for a farmers’ market run with a tank, and perfect for vacation over a one-piece swimsuit or a billowy top. At $275, they’re the kind of investment that quickly earns its keep. I’ve been reaching for mine non-stop and constantly get asked about where they’re from. Chan Luu has always been a go-to brand for effortless summer pieces, and these barrel-leg pants are the one to buy right now—available in an assortment of shades, from this earthy sage to a poppy pink. —Andrea Zendejas, shopping editor

Every stylish woman, from the minimalism enthusiasts in Stockholm to the edgy trendsetters in the Lower East Side, knows about Lié Studio. The brand started with sculptural, heirloom-inspired earrings featuring a natural oval silhouette, along with matching rings and raffia bags that are perfect for both the beach and everyday use. Ask any Vogue editor about their reaction to the June 1st email announcing the latest eyewear collection, and you’ll hear they were elated! For $270, you can choose your main character of the day from the sleek cat-eye, rounded, and oversized assortment. Like most of Lié’s offerings, I fully expect these sunglasses to be sold out by the end of the week. I’ll take one of each, thank you! —Cortne Bonilla, senior shopping writer

Few footwear styles capture the carefree spirit of summer quite like the flip-flop—long loved for its ease, versatility, and unfussy cool. And the brand best known for them? That would be Havaianas, of course. Whether styled with a white tee and jeans à la Hailey Bieber or paired with a string bikini and sarong for sandy beach days ahead, the warm-weather staple has become a favorite among fashion people and designers alike. Last week, Isabel Marant and Havaianas unveiled their inaugural summer collaboration: four flip-flop styles ranging from tie-dyed pairs to studded sandals. To say they sold out instantly would be an understatement. Luckily, I was able to snag this pink and red tie-dye pair from Shopbop. Unlikely to stay in stock for much long, add them to your cart now and your summer capsule wardrobe will instantly feel cooler. In other words? They’re the French girl-approved flip-flops of the summer.—Laura Lillian Jackson Nalle, contributing editor

I’ve waxed poetic about my Alex Mill weekender more times than I can count; ahead of the long weekend, it feels fitting to do so again. I’ll preface with this: this is not your ordinary canvas tote. To me, it’s really a giant nesting doll. It’s amusingly bigger than I am, but fits everything I need and then some—laptop, lunch, snacks, a deceivingly heavy hardcover, possibly a small handbag, highly likely an extra pair of shoes. I never travel without it, and when it’s not perched on my carry-on, I sling it over my shoulder. The straps are long, but not too long—just right. I have it in black and in canvas, but there’s always room for one more. The name says it all: it really is the Perfect Weekend Tote. —Talia Abbas, shopping director

Rhode’s lip gloss phone case was a stroke of genius—this is the fashion girl alternative. On the FW26 Runways we saw designers finally answering our plea for a handbag-free life with a myriad of functional accessories hung around the neck or hanging from belt loops. The trend continues with Lié Studio's Lesse collaboration, which answers all my "where is my lip balm" problems in one single chic package. For $125, you get a top stitched crafted leather lip balm holder that will elevate any outfit (wear it around the neck or loop it around the handle of your favorite handbag to avoid it getting lost inside) and a lip balm from Lesse which I have been swearing by for its understated packaging and soothing qualities. —Libby Jane Page, executive shopping director

Blouson jackets—the sort that feel plucked straight from your grandfather’s closet—are having a moment. Or at least, that’s how it feels to me. My own grandfather, a devoted golfer, wore his every Sunday on the course, and I can still picture him in it. Now, the silhouette is making a quiet but confident return. During fashion week, Karla Martinez, Head of Editorial Content at Vogue Mexico, wore a striking red version by Ralph Lauren that promptly sold out. Consider it the ideal transitional layer—equally at ease with denim, tailored trousers, or even a slip skirt. Somehow, it always works. —Andrea Zendejas, shopping market editor

If you ask me, a pendant is the finishing touch every outfit needs—season- and occasion-less, it always look just right. Ask any Vogue Shopping editor and they’ll confirm their love for the accessory, particularly this Hunting Season pendant, which has smooth tagua seeds strung onto an adjustable leather cord. Four of my colleagues own one, each in a different color. I’ve seen them style theirs with T-shirts, dresses, and tailoring—it really does work with everything. I don’t own one yet, but consider it officially in my cart. —Andrea Zendejas, shopping market editor

There were three accessories from Tory Burch’s spring show that I keep coming back to: the handwoven net totes, the beaded shell pendants, and the futuristic shield sunglasses. The latter—a sort of 2001: Space Odyssey-meets-The Matrix goggle—is exactly the shape we’re seeing having a major moment. They looked great on the runway, even better on. Similar wrap styles are going for twice the price, which per my fashion calculations, means you can have two for one. —Talia Abbas, shopping director

Everyone at the office knows I love a good flat shoe. Spring’s latest sneaker trend is the sneakerina, a hybrid between the sneaker and ballet flat (my two favorite shoe styles) and Puma has one for just under $100 so you can get in on the trend without breaking the bank. Style it with denim or wear it as you would a ballet flat without any of the discomfort of a flat-soled shoe because all Puma sneakers come with Ortholite for extra cushioning. With the warmer weather approaching us quickly, the Puma Ballet Sneaker is the shoe that can take you from day to night without sacrificing style or comfort! —Irene Kim, production and editorial associate
