Fall has been lovely but it’s time to start preparing for winter—or at least thinking about it. If you’re dreading it, the best way to beat the cold-weather blues is to shop for some new cozy items that’ll make you more comfortable when it literally hurts to go outside.
I find winter clothes to be a bit more expensive than their summer counterparts, generally speaking. And you need to put more items on to keep yourself warm. Taking this into consideration, wanting to shop for chic items that are also affordable is understandable. So I put together a massive shopping guide filled with dozens of winter items (49 to be exact) that clock in at less than $49.
I scrolled through sites like Nordstrom, H&M, Shopbop, and Zara in search of the coolest, most expensive-looking items that you can buy for not a lot of money. In the massive roundup below, you’ll find plenty of great basics, trend pieces, and accessories. After you scroll through, I have a hunch you’ll be ready for winter before it even arrives.
