Many people love summer, but my favorite season is always autumn. The autumn leaves and the crisp, cool air make me feel like something new is just around the corner. But as a native Floridian, my fall wardrobe is always evolving, and that’s where these fashion items come in.
As Real Simple’s Amazon Shopping Expert, my real job is to find the best, most affordable products on the market. I’ve been testing and researching products for over 5 years, so you can trust my answers time and time again. I definitely use this mindset when shopping for myself, for example when putting together a fall capsule wardrobe. We’re looking at items from some of the top brands, including Vera Bradley, Spanx, Gap, Ugg, and Grace Karin. All under $50.
Amazon fall fashion under $50 that editors love
Grace Karin Knit Pullover V-Neck Sweater Top
Amazon
I love an oversized hoodie like the gal below, but a stylish knit top is better for holiday gatherings. This Grace Karin sweater features fashionable details such as a flattering V-neckline, diamond-stitched long sleeves, and a ribbed body. Made from a blend of cotton and acrylic, this sweater has a soft, warm texture that’s perfect for any fall event.

Amazon
Adding a fall vibe is easy with the right accessories. For example, this Vera Bradley bag has fall colors. While yellow and orange are quintessentially “fall,” this ivy green option is on trend this season. The crossbody features a quilted pattern, adjustable straps and a deep internal pocket for essentials.
Ugg rib knit slouchy crew socks
Amazon
We need comfortable clothes to stay warm, but sometimes we ignore them until our feet are ice cold. These Ugg socks envelop my feet and calves in pure softness and warmth. I also love the ribbed design and relaxed fit, so it doesn’t feel constricting while lounging around the house.
gap crew neck cardigan
Amazon
When you find a versatile two-in-one fashion item, you’ll never wear it to bed. A great example of this is this Gap cardigan sweater. With its crew neck and functional buttons, it can be worn as an open-front cardigan or a knit top. I’ve even seen people wear their cardigans loosely over a T-shirt with just the top button buttoned up for a cute, modern twist.
Spanx shaping mid-thigh tight end tights
Amazon
Real Simple readers love Spanx tights, and we can’t deny it. I think so too. I bought the tights about a year ago and they were nowhere near this low price range. Spanx tight-end tights have a high-waisted band that shapes around your stomach. The dark welt is fairly short so it won’t show under skirts or dresses, and the sheer legs are durable enough to resist tearing. If these are the same ones I already have, they are unlikely to break.
Ann Loves Open Front Knit Coatigan
Amazon
There’s a reason this Anne Labeth coatigan is an Amazon bestseller. It’s soft and comfortable like a sweater, but thick enough to be used as an outer layer. The coatigan has an open front design with a lapel collar and two side pockets to keep items like keys and cell phone within reach. It’s available in 28 gorgeous colors, but I’m especially drawn to fall shades like light brown, apricot, and rust.
Soda Pioneer Lug Sole Mid Heel Chelsea Boots
Amazon
I love the sophisticated look of these soda ankle boots. Chic styles abound, including brown faux leather, maroon suede, and black glossy patent. These stylish Chelsea boots have all the classic features, including a high shaft, elasticated side panels and rounded toe box. I especially like the thick lug sole and slightly higher heel. For short girls, that’s a huge benefit!
