About the Retailer: One-stop shopping for casual, easy-wear pieces for the whole family is the name of the Old Navy game.

Deal alert! Right now, get up to 50% off storewide and 15% cash back for online purchases sitewide.

What They Sell: Everyday basics like hoodies, graphic tees and casual dresses, and don’t sleep on the women’s fantastic denim and activewear selections. Some of our favorite finds right now include on-trend utility shackets (a hybrid of a jacket and shirt for newbies out there), fall cardigans and—because the holidays are almost here—matching family pajamas!

Price Point: Women’s fashion tops range from $26.99 to $32.99, and you can currently find styles from $8 and clearance styles from $3.99!

Why We Chose It: The brand just launched their size and price equality initiative, so all women’s clothing will be sold in sizes 0 to 30, and at the same price; inclusivity in fashion is cool!

Things to Consider: These pieces aren’t meant to be passed down through generations, but you’ll still want to wash them in cold water and dry with low heat (or air dry) if you want them to hold up.

Savings Tips: With every purchase, you earn Super Cash to spend on future purchases within a certain timeframe, and Navyist Rewards members enjoy free shipping on orders over $50, free returns and other incentives. The brand also regularly has clearance sales and doorbuster items.


Forever21

About the Retailer: A quick fashion go-to for people of all ages who are looking for of-the-moment trends at accessible prices.

What They Sell: Honestly, what don’t they sell? You can find everything from trendy crop tops to day dresses to work wear, including inclusive sizing for women, and they even have clothes for men and girls now.

Price Point: Denim ranges from $19.99 to $44.99 and you can find basic tees as low as $4.99.

Why We Chose It: Forever21 has been a staple for finding trendy clothes for big events for decades. These clothes aren’t heirlooms, but they keep you in the latest fashions for prices you don’t have to think twice about. 

Things to Consider: The store has been known to struggle in the customer service department.

Savings Tips: The site always provides free standard shipping for purchases over $50 (in the continental 48 states), and there are always a host of coupon codes that you can find at the top of the Forever 21 homepage, or here.


SHEIN

Image: SHEIN

About the Retailer: While SHEIN was once a total gamble with some of their clothes looking high quality and others falling apart in your hand (or being child-sized), through the years, they have upped their quality game and earned a solid reputation — especially in the fashion influencer community. 

What They Sell: An expansive catalog of everyday items and high-fashion pieces at “wait, that can’t be right” prices. Think elegant gowns to cozy sweaters, skimpy bikinis to pantsuits. And starting in 2021, they now have capsule collections from emerging designers and influencers with their monthly #SHEINX program. They also now carry clothes for men and infants, toddlers, girls and boys. 

Price Point: Formal dresses as low as $17; fall sweaters start at $9.

Why We Chose It: Because the brand’s motto should be: Something for any style, any occasion and any budget.

Things to Consider: It’s always important to carefully read the size guide provided on each item rather than blindly ordering your “typical size.”

Savings Tips: The site always offers free returns and free standard shipping on orders over $29 (in the U.S.), plus there are plenty of coupon codes with various deals at any given time.


Romwe

Image: Romwe

About the Retailer: This shop skews young, and you’d be hard-pressed to find anything if you’re out of your teens. But it just might be the Alloy or Delia’s of today (with a much lower price point). 

What They Sell: What’s-trending-now clothes for high schoolers with plenty of camp, plus accessories for your body, room and pet.

Price Point: Dresses range from $8 to $15, with most sitting at $12.

Why We Chose It: If they are happy with the clothes and they are going to grow out of it or be sick of it next season anyway, why not?

Things to Consider: Reviews (often with photos) can help you determine which size is right for you (or whomever you’re shopping for).

Savings Tips: The site offers free standard shipping on orders over $29 and always offers free returns. They also regularly have deals and sales, so always check for codes.


Walmart

Image: Walmart

About the Retailer: Walmart clearly needs no introduction, but the retailer’s online fashion section definitely needs a reintroduction, since they’ve worked hard to keep up with competitors like Target and Amazon in recent years and have a solid fashion department to show for it.

What They Sell: Everyday staples plus mainstream trendy items for the entire family.

Price Point: Fall dresses are in the $30 range, while tops are in the $20 range.

Why We Chose It: The sheer shock on someone’s face when they compliment your outfit, and you can say, “Thanks, it’s from Walmart!”

Things to Consider: Walmart has shipping times that rival (and often beat) Amazon Prime, plus super easy return policies, so why not?

Savings Tips: While you should always look for a coupon code before checking out, most of Walmart’s are for departments other than fashion, but fortunately, the retailer has staked its decades-long reputation on saving people money with their prices. Also check out their new Walmart+ membership that provides free shipping with no minimums, free deliveries from your local store and more.


Amazon

Image: Amazon

About the Retailer: There will probably always be some truly random finds on Amazon, but they have firmly established themselves as an excellent source for accessible, daily fashions.

What They Sell: All the things, but also, a great source for sweaters and cardigans and Zoom-worthy accent tops.

Price Point: While it varies greatly, non-design items fall squarely in the center of the term “affordable fashion” with trendy fall pants as low as $17.99 and tops in the $15.99 range.

Why We Chose It: Between their relationships with influencers and their Amazon Live shows, there are lots of ways to find cute clothes on Amazon.

Things to Consider: Because Amazon’s catalog of merchandise is just so expansive, it’s always a good idea to start in the Amazon Fashion vertical when you’re shopping for clothes. It helps you stay near the trendy, quality fashions versus stumbling into costumes or clothes from random brands with no reviews.

Savings Tips: There are constantly sales on various items in the Amazon Fashion vertical, and of course, Prime Day is your friend when it comes to saving on fashion basics.


H&M

Image: H&M

About the Retailer: As the world’s second largest fashion retailer, H&M has been shipping their well-made, affordable fashions to the U.S. since 2013. Those of us who are a certain age (cough), remember the momentous occasion well and it forever transformed the online fashion landscape in the U.S.  

What They Sell: Everyday basics plus wardrobe staples and trendy items for men, women and children, all with a bent toward comfort. Plus a fantastic maternity line!

Price Point: A basic sweater runs you $19.99 with some options going as high as $34.99 and as low as $9.99.

Why We Chose It: You’d be hard-pressed to find someone fashion focused who doesn’t have a decent amount of H&M pieces in their wardrobe. The brand is reliable, affordable, quality and fashion forward.

Things to Consider: Mid-range sizes of popular items can sell out quickly, but restocks do sometimes happen, so sign up for notifications if you miss an item you adore.

Savings Tips: There are often free shipping with no limitations deals, plus coupon codes, and you can join the membership program to earn points on the $1 birthday coupons and more.


Target

Image: Target

About the Retailer: Ah, Target. The mecca of the suburban mom. The place where so many of us go to buy things we never knew we always needed, including affordable, approachable clothes.

What They Sell: There’s nothing boundary pushing or fashion forward about Target’s fashion options, but they have great everyday pieces along with plenty of options for mainstream trending items, a fantastic bathing suit and graphic tee selection and their designer collabs are a good way for Target shoppers with elevated fashion sense to get pieces that are more runway chic.

Price Point: Casual dresses start at $20 and go to $29.99.

Why We Chose It: In addition to offering affordable clothing, Target offers a lucrative and easy-to-use rewards program, Target Circle, which gets you cash back on every clothing purchase.

Things to Consider: The various in-house Target brands vary in their level of quality and consistency of fit, but easy returns make it no hassle if something doesn’t fit just right.

Savings Tips: You can easily save money on shipping costs by using the Drive Up service available for Target app users. You can also often find free shipping deals on various minimum purchases.


Cupshe

Image: Cupshe

About the Retailer: Cupshe started out as a swimwear brand, which is why you can still find such an expansive selection of swimwear, but they have moved into athleisure and clothing.

What They Sell: An extensive collection of affordable swimwear to fit most styles and body types, as well as flowy, beach-inspired dresses, matching sets and athleisure. 

Price Point: One-piece suits range from $17.99 to $36.99.

Why We Chose It: Cupshe offers stylish beach and pool-wear and is fashion forward without sinking to fast-fashion low quality. 

Things to Consider: For swimwear, read the description to determine the back coverage, bodice support and check out the model’s measurements to choose your best size.

Savings Tips: Free shipping on orders over $49 in the continental U.S., and regular sales you can keep track of here.


Boohoo.com

Image: Boohoo.com

About the Retailer: Defining themselves as “fun fashion,” the site drops 500 new products each week and also has a serious bent for giving back to charitable initiatives. In 2020, they donated more than $300,000 to help fight the Australian wildfires. 

What They Sell: Trendy clothes that check lots of different style boxes from slinky tops with boundary-pushing cut-outs that best fit in the club to satin dresses that would look lovely in an office.

Price Point: The price range is as varied as the fashion you’ll find on the site with a work-ready blazer at $70 sitting next to a halter neck crop top for $30. 

Why We Chose It: We love that the brand is charitably minded, despite being a massive online retailer. They make regular charitable donations to various causes and organizations around the world and develop collections where sales go specifically toward different causes.

Things to Consider: The style gamut is broad, so if you’re looking for more brunch chic than Kardashian edgy, you just have to dig a little.

Savings Tips: Look for regular sales and available coupon codes. Boohoo often runs free shipping codes, so make sure to check the latest one and enter it at checkout.


Lulus

Image: Lulus

About the Retailer: While the brand started as a boutique in California, it’s been completely digital for 13 years, but still sells fashions that have that distinct boutique feel.

What They Sell: Chic pieces that are sophisticated even if they are fun and casual. They’ve also developed a popular wedding section with everything from wedding gowns and bridesmaids dresses and accessories to honeymoon, bachelorette party and bridal shower pieces.

Price Point: Tops run anywhere from $20 to $50.

Why We Chose It: Even on a list this long, Lulus really does hold its own unique little fashion corner with pieces that are more chic and upscale than streetwear trendy or approachable and easy. 

Things to Consider: Although Lulus is exclusively online now, they do carry more limited numbers of pieces, so you can run into things selling out in your size. Make sure you sign up for restock alerts, and they often restock popular items.

Savings Tips: Get free shipping on all orders over $50 and free returns all the time. Plus, check for coupon codes here.


ASOS

Image: ASOS

About the Retailer: Beloved by influencers and fashion lovers of all kinds, ASOS is ground zero for finding exactly what you want if what you want is affordable, well-made, trendy pieces.

What They Sell: It really runs the gamut from work-appropriate pieces to casual fashion with lots of trendy streetwear in between. They’re also known for their fabulous maternity and wedding options (we’re talking bridesmaids and brides!).

Price Point: Grab a summer bodysuit for as low as $14, and work-appropriate dresses hover in the $60 range. 

Why We Chose It: If you’re someone who loves to look unique, but don’t want to cross into cutting-edge territory with crazy runway styling, this one’s for you.

Things to Consider: While quality can vary because the site sells many different brands, ASOS is known for selling well-made clothes at great prices.

Savings Tips: Premier Delivery gets you unlimited express shipping for an entire year for $19. The site also features regular sales and always has plenty of coupon codes.


Missguided

Image: Missguided

About the Retailer: Missguided prides itself on being fast fashion and “rapid fashion,” dropping up to 1,000 new items on the site each week, but the quality is visibly higher than sites like Cupshe and Romwe, and the items are actually designed in house.

What They Sell: Everything from trendy fall sweaters to leather pants to loungewear all with that “model off duty” streetwear vibe.

Price Point: Blouses hover at $50, with some as high as $70 and others as low as $40.

Why We Chose It: If that cool girl streetwear vibe is the style you love, but you don’t love the shopping hunt for those types of pieces, this site takes out all the guesswork.

Things to Consider: The site has plus, petite, tall and maternity sizes, but you have to go specifically to those verticals to shop those sizes.

Savings Tips: Check for coupon codes, keep an eye out for regular sales and enjoy a regular 15% off student discount.


Nasty Gal

Image: Nasty Gal

About the Retailer: As a brand that started as a vintage clothing boutique, the site has a definite aesthetic that skews flashy and bold (no shrinking fashion violets need apply).

What They Sell: Clothes for people who love fashion and love fashion creativity and are willing to take risks with what they wear.

Price Point: Skirts range from $31 to $65 depending on length and fabric.

Why We Chose It: Just because someone has an edgy personal style and likes more high-fashion moments doesn’t mean they have the budget to shop off the runway. Nasty Gal meets those people where they are.

Things to Consider: For first-time Nasty Gal shopper, they have an easy, helpful size calculator on each item listing to help determine your best fit.

Savings Tips: Look for exclusive RMN codes, and the site also has huge end-of-season sales (as in everything at least 50% off).


fab’rik

Image: fab’rik

About the Retailer: While this online boutique is definitely lesser known than some of the others on our list, as it started as a brick-and-mortar boutique in Atlanta (and now has more than 40 boutique locations), its online presence and approachable price points make it one to know. 

What They Sell: Approachable, casual and dressy/casual trends curated by fashion maven Dana Spinola. Think the perfect top for a first date, jumpsuits that will make everyone ask, “Where did you get that?” and trendy weekend wear that begs to be photographed. 

Price Point: Nothing is over $100.

Why We Chose It: Channeling the boutique experience online is a huge boon for any fashion lover. You can find more unique pieces, curated by a fashion-lover’s eye without leaving your house (and in this case, breaking the bank).

Things to Consider: Because this is a true boutique versus a massive online retailer, there are fewer of each item available, which means things can sell out in certain sizes, but it also means when you do get pieces, your wardrobe stays more unique. 

Savings Tips: The site always offers free shipping on orders over $75, and our browser extension can automatically check for any active codes before you check out.
