21 Affordable Items to Level Up Your Wardrobe

I'm just going to come out and say it: Accessories make an outfit. Think about it. You could be wearing the most basic of outfit combos (think jeans and a T-shirt), but add the right jewelry, a killer handbag, and chic shoes, and suddenly you have yourself a look. And as someone who errs on the side of casual most of the time, I rely heavily on accessories to take my outfit up a notch. For springtime, I typically look to the jewelry, hair accessory, and handbag categories to elevate my outfit since there's a bit less flexibility in footwear (at least in comparison to fall or winter, when the boot options are endless).

So after examining some of the biggest spring 2020 trends, I've zeroed in on the accessories I'll be adding to my wardrobe to jazz up all my outfits moving forward. Whether I'm wearing a sundress or blazer combo, these accessories are the ideal add-ons to make my outfit feel more intentional and thoughtful instantly. And since I'm trying to be mindful of my budget, I've scoured the internet to find the most affordable versions of each item on my list, most of which are well under $100. From the chain necklaces I'll be layering over my T-shirts to the silk scarves I'll be adding to my hair, below are the 21 best affordable spring accessories that will level up my wardrobe. 

A layer of necklaces is probably the easiest way to add interest to your outfit, and this spring is all about chunky chains. Whether you choose gold or silver, a stack of different sizes and textures cascading down your neck draws the eyes there and leaves the rest of your outfit feeling elevated.
Rings are another area to play with that makes whatever else you're wearing feel elevated. Even just one single statement ring takes your outfit up a notch, or you can deck out each finger with a different shape or metal, whatever floats your boat. 
I've always had an affinity for earrings, as you can totally transform your look with one pair. Take your basic jeans-and-tee look, for example. Just add an interesting statement earring, and suddenly all eyes are on your ears. The rest of your outfit feels polished, and you're able to really show off your earring choice.
Hair scarves are back for spring 2020, and I couldn't be happier. This so-called grandma trend feels totally fresh and will add the right amount of interest to anything you pair it with. I'll personally be wearing it with spring's tube top trend (yes, they're back) for a real '90s throwback.
From basket styles to silk textures, I'm counting handbags as a necessity and using them to upgrade my outfits. Add an interesting bag to anything, and you're guaranteed to receive compliments.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
