The Best Under-$100 Winter Fashion Pieces
When it comes to dressing for different seasons, winter has historically been my least favorite. Winter fashion can feel clunky and hard to master, but I’ve decided that this year, I’ll be embracing the cold weather and enjoying the things that we only get to wear during the chillier months. From now until spring, I’ll be leaning into big, chunky knits, fun accessories, layering pieces, chic coats, trendy boots, and more.
Every time a new season comes around, I make a wish list of fashion pieces that I might want based on things I’ve seen while online shopping or scrolling social media. The list allows me to think about what I really need and shop more intentionally, rather than making impulse purchases in the moment. If I’m still thinking about something on my list a few weeks later, I consider it something that might be worth investing in; if I revisit the list and have already forgotten about something, I know that I can skip it for the season.
In addition to saving money in that way, I try to keep my trendier wardrobe additions in the under-$100 range. This allows me to mix up my wardrobe each season without spending a fortune. Keep reading for the 18 under-$100 winter fashion pieces that have earned a coveted spot on my wish list this season.
Old Navy
This simple Old Navy tee is my versatile best friend this winter. It’s the perfect layering piece to stick under sweaters on super cold days, but also looks great on its own under a jacket or vest.
8 colors available
Abercrombie
Abercrombie brings it every year with high-quality knitwear—some of my very favorite sweaters are years-old Abercrombie ones—and this collared cardigan is proof of that. It’s a classic piece that can be layered to wear a million ways—and I know I’ll wear it for years to come.

Abercrombie
Something my wardrobe is lacking? Going-out tops that are appropriate for winter. I’m obsessed with the asymmetrical neckline on this one. I can already picture it paired with jeans and pointed-toe booties for a night out with the girls.
3 colors available
GAP
I’ve been eyeing an oversized turtleneck since the beginning of fall, and I think it’s finally time to *add to cart.* I’ve found myself really gravitating toward big, chunky sweaters during the cold weather thus far, and this one checks all the boxes.

MANGO
Braving the cold gets a lot easier when your wardrobe works for the winter. A wool-blend miniskirt like this one is such a cute option for date nights and dinners out. Paired with tights, a sweater, and knee-high boots, I’ll never have to wonder what to wear for a night out in winter again.
Abercrombie
I will sing the praises of Abercrombie Curve Love jeans until my last breath (seriously, no pair has fit me as well or made me feel as confident). I tried the ’90s Relaxed style this summer and fell in love, so a darker wash is on the top of my wish list for winter.

UNIQLO
A heavy pair of trousers is the secret to staying stylish and warm in the winter. The loose fit of these trousers allows for styling versatility, and they can be dressed up or down depending on the day.

Skims
There will never be a time when I don’t have something from Skims on my wish list. I seriously can’t think of anything I want to cuddle up on the couch in on a cold winter night more than these pants.

MANGO
I’ll never get tired of a puffer vest. They’re truly the perfect last-minute addition to any outfit. This would not only look insanely cute layered with a sweater for a day of watching football, but it’s also a great option if you live in a warmer winter climate but still want to enjoy puffer season.
MANGO
Double-faced jackets are having a serious moment right now, but they can be pretty pricey. At under $100, this chic brown one from Mango is definitely a can’t-miss this season.

Old Navy
A sherpa pullover is the ideal solution for cozy days in and running errands alike. This cropped option from Old Navy looks chic and pairs well with sweats, leggings, or jeans.

Knee-high boots are an essential in your wardrobe, and this affordable pair is a great option if you haven’t found your perfect pair yet. Worn with a mini skirt and tights or under looser jeans, these boots are perfect for year-round styling.

Ready to upgrade your sneaker game? These Reebok Club C sneakers are your gal. Their vintage aesthetic brings an element of cool to every outfit, and they’re timeless enough that I know they’ll be in my wardrobe for years.
Quince
High-quality winter accessories at an affordable price are a dream come true. This cashmere beanie from Quince is a perfect everyday staple. Plus, the bright pop of green will spark joy during the grey days of winter.

Amazon
I’ve been lusting after the $300 Acne Studios checkered scarf for a few years now, but I simply can’t bring myself to shell out the cash. I recently found this similar, much cheaper version, and you better believe I snatched it up right away.

Mejuri
Rings are my favorite category of jewelry, so this year, I’ve been working toward building my collection to include some everyday pieces that are made to last. This classic band from Mejuri is totally timeless, but bold enough to catch the eye when I wear it on an everyday basis.
2 colors available
JW PEI
I (and many of our editors) own multiple JW Pei bags, and I can honestly say that the quality for price is unmatched. The styles are on-trend, the colors are beautiful, and they’re sustainably made with vegan leather and recycled plastic bottles. Win, win.

Sheertex
I’m long overdue for a tights upgrade, especially with the resurgence of the Gossip Girl-esque mini skirt, tights, and knee-high boots combo. So when I discovered that these rip-resistant tights from Sheertex are made to last 10x longer than traditional tights, I knew they were worth the investment. My days of single-use tights are about to be a thing of the past.
