The Best Under-$500 Designer Buys On MyTheresa—Period

Eliza Huber  Sun, 22 Oct 2023  Who What Wear

It's very easy to be lured in by all the $1,000+ dresses, handbags, and shoes that litter the virtual shelves on MyTheresa.com, but that's not all the German retailer's storage facilities play home to. I'd know, I just thoroughly examined practically every item on its site. Hidden among those major investments is an equally alluring selection of under-$500 buys with all the same designer labels, from Celine and Gucci to Jacquemus and Toteme. 

Given that you probably don't have the luxury of dedicating an entire afternoon to online shopping like I do—being a fashion editor is fun!—I went ahead and lined up some of my more affordable MyTheresa finds below, with highlights including a 10/10 holiday party dress option, plenty of elevated basics, and the designer sunglasses that practically every Who What Wear editor owns at least one pair of. All of that and more is ripe for picking and just a scroll away. 

These sunglasses are either on everyone I know's wishlist or in their closet. There's no in-between position. 

This color will always remind me of The Row and Kendall Jenner. 

Is anyone in the world not obsessed with pencil skirts right now? Anyone?

The easy, everyday mules you didn't know that you've always needed. 

Layering made easy.

The double-wrap look is too cool. 

These are the next jeans on my fall buy list. 

If tank tops are your kryptonite like they are mine, then you need this on-trend, red one from Jacquemus. 

The next it Adidas sneaker. 

The '90s vibes are so strong, I can almost smell the Clinique Happy. 

Whenever an outfit's seeming boring, just add a pair of these. They work every time. 

Is this not the cutest bag you've ever seen?

Catch me in a cat-eye every day of the week. 

Wow. Just wow. 

A patent-leather stiletto will make any outfit pop.

The peplum renaissance is finally here.

You'll get so much wear out of these this fall and winter. 

A work of art. 

The suede-and-patent makes this bag so much more interesting. 

If it's off-the-shoulder in 2023, I don't just want it—I need it. 

More barrel-leg jeans, please! 

Well, I've decided I need these so now nothing can stop me.

For a JFK Jr. on a Saturday morning dog walk with Carolyn kind of fall look. 

You'll never wear a boring beanie again.
