If you’ve spent any amount of time on Instagram, you know about Fashion Nova. It doesn’t matter what your body type is, what style you like, or even what gender you are, quite frankly. If you follow the Kardashians, or Blac Chyna, or body-positive icons like Dascha Polanco, you’ve seen some of your favorite celebs decked out from head to toe in Fashion Nova gear. They always look great, and you always think, “Could I pull that off?”
The answer, we’re happy to report, is “yes, probably.” If Fashion Nova is known for one thing besides being a favorite influencer brand, it’s known for how affordable the cute, California-chic clothes are. With most styles retaining in the range of $35 and under, it’s easy to get carried away just by scrolling through the website. From baby doll dresses to gorgeous lingerie to celeb-approved jeans that actually fit a range of body types, there’s a lot to love about the fashion-forward brand. But how much will a full outfit actually set you back? Let’s take a deep dive.
Tops
From flouncing floral shirts to colorful, curve-hugging “it girl” tops, Fashion Nova has a wide range of shirts, tees, and blouses that tend to fall within the $15-$30 range. For the price of takeout, you could bring home a handful of celebrity-approved, Instagram-famous outfits, which is pretty appealing in this COVID economy. Tees and bodysuits retail for $17, making it hard for shopaholics everywhere to resist the temptation to splurge during sales.
Jeans
High-risers, low-riders, you name it: Fashion Nova is undisputedly the place for jeans, even more so now that Megan Thee Stallion has signed up with the brand for denim collaboration created especially for tall girls. The jeans on the site range from dark wash styles to pre-distressed, acid wash styles and don’t tend to retail for much more than $30. They’re also, quite famously, the perfect pants for boosting the derriere while maintaining a comfy, casual fit.
Pants
If trendy leggings, joggers, and shorts are your vibe, you’ll be pleased to know that Fashion Nova bottoms are just as affordable as their tops, ranging from around $20 to $30. From hip-hugging skirts to wide-leg trousers and butt-framing shorts, there are tons of styles on offer, most of which you’ve probably already seen on your favorite influencer. Even famous mom-fluencers like Patricia Bright are jumping on the bandwagon, and rightly so. In these challenging financial times, we need all the help we can get when it comes to looking fly on a budget.
Dresses
Women who haven’t had a lot of luck with traditional retailers have been raving about Fashion Nova for years now. After influencers like Amber Rose and Blac Chyna started repping the brand, women of size have flocked to the site to check out their size-inclusive take on jeans, dresses, and apparel for curvy women. The dresses on offer don’t disappoint. Starting at $15 and capping at around $50, there are butt-boosting dresses of all types on offer. It doesn’t take an hourglass figure to pull them off, either. From casual midi dresses to floor-length maxis, the range of styles on offer is pretty impressive.
Shoes
Looking for super cute heels and slip-ons? Fashion Nova’s shoe scene is not to be overlooked. While the brand is best known for its dresses, slips, and curve-embracing jeans, you’d be surprised by the huge, affordable shoe selection featuring perfect-for-the-summer kitten heels, botties, and glamorous, red-carpet-read heels. Anyone who feels Carrie Bradshaw’s pain will relish the chance to stock up on heels before the hot weather hits. Summer might have been canceled, but fashion hasn’t. Pumps range from $30-$40, while slip-ons stay in the $30 range.
Accessories
No outfit is complete with accessories, as any fashion plate will tell you. Luckily, Fashion Nova isn’t skimping in that department, either. With sunglasses, purses, lashes, and jewelry all priced within the same range as a fancy latte, it’s almost impossible not to splurge. A VIP handbag for under $20? A Tiffany-style heart necklace for a fraction of the price? Stackable rings? No wonder Hot Girl Meg stans Fashion Nova so hard. A hot girl summer is indeed in our future.
Undergarments and Swimwear
Even though Fashion Nova is praised for its body-positive outlook and curvy girl-friendly fashions, the lingerie is where it’s really at. For under $40, you can get a full garter set that will make you feel sexy, sophisticated, and tantalizing with breaking the bank. You’ll even have enough money left over to splurge on a sultry bathing suit for lounging poolside. In addition to bikinis and two-pieces, there are some truly sultry one-pieces that are tailor-made for curvier bodies. Looking like Cardi B has never been easier, or more affordable.
All told, a full, head-to-toe outfit from Fashion Nova, including shoes, accessories, and underwear, will still fall under the $100 mark. In today’s economy, that’s downright impressive. If you’re thinking about splurging on a new ‘fit from Fashion Nova, there’s never been a better time to take the plunge.
