Style Without Splurge: 10 Affordable Clothing Stores We Love

Necessary Clothing

Only one of two retailers on our list that actually has a brick and mortar presence, Necessary Clothing is kind of like a grown folks Forever 21, but we mean that in a very, very good way. It is a great destination for trendy pieces that — while they may not last a lifetime — will get the job done at least through the season you’re shopping for. But they definitely feel age appropriate and suitable whether you’re shopping for cute office threads or something for a special occasion. Prices vary a bit, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find much that exceeds $90 and more often you are looking at dresses, tops, and pants somewhere in the $25-$45 range. One downer with Necessary Clothing: their return policy which only offers store credit rather than exchanges or a refund. So if you’re like us and enjoy ordering tons of clothes with the hope of returning what you don’t like, you might want to think again.
