Staff Picks: Under $50 Finds
I’m a Shopping Expert—Here Are the Under-$50 Pieces I’m Buying for Spring Break (and Wearing All Summer)
Spring break packing is officially underway—and as a shopping expert, I’m laser-focused on pieces that work harder than a one-week getaway. I want high-quality swimsuits, breezy coverups, and warm-weather staples I’ll still be reaching for long after the return flight lands. The best part? Every single pick in this lineup comes in under $50 and delivers on style, versatility, and summer-long wear. From easy sundresses and linen sets to pool-ready bikinis and throw-on-and-go sandals, these are the affordable finds I’m snapping up now—and planning to live in all season. Scroll on to shop my spring-break-to-summer capsule wardrobe.
