Budget Friendly Fall Transition Outfits

I’m back today with a fall Chicwish review. I’ve been purchasing pieces from them on and off for several years, and today, I’m sharing my latest budget-friendly fall transition outfits from the vintage-inspired clothing brand, plus an updated review. If you’re unfamiliar with Chicwish, they offer a wide variety of affordable styles that range from retro to feminine to minimalistic. If you’re already familiar with the brand, you can skip ahead to the outfits.

What can you get on Chicwish?

Most of the inventory is marketed toward women, but plenty of unisex styles are available. They even have kids’ clothing and mommy-and-me outfits. It’s a great site to shop if you want to incorporate seasonal trends into your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Let’s dive into my Chicwish review so that you can learn more about the brand.

The site offers the following clothing categories:

Tops
Dresses
Bottoms
Outerwear
Spring Workwear
Accessories
Loungewear
Swimwear

How Chicwish Quality and Pricing Compares to Other Brands

Almost everything on the Chicwish site is under $100, with an average price of $50. The quality is similar to brands like ASOS, Modcloth, or Zara. I’ve always been pleasantly surprised with the quality of Chicwish clothing and think it’s consistent with the pricing. If you’re wondering, my Chicwish pieces have washed well and maintained their shape. I recommend, however, that you read reviews on any of the pieces you’re considering adding to your cart.

The Chicwish Shopping Experience

The Chicwish site can be overwhelming to navigate, with hundreds of pieces in every category. I always start with a list of pieces that I’m looking for and then check out their Instagram page for inspiration. For this post, I focused on fall transition pieces.

Chicwish Sizing

I’ve found the sizing to be pretty consistent. I always refer to the sizing charts to compare exact measurements and read the reviews. It’s important to note that many sweaters and skirts run S/M and M/L, so consider that when shopping. I’ve tried clothing and accessories from almost every category that Chicwish offers except swimwear so that I can speak with authority on cost, quality, and fit.

A feature that I always think is helpful is to see a piece styled in real life, especially for spring workwear. For many items, you’ll see an Instagram carousel at the bottom of the page showing the item styled by a customer or influencer. If there aren’t any photos, I will usually skip that item.

Shipping and Returns

Chicwish is based in China, but your order will ship from warehouses in the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Belgium, Canada, or Australia, depending on your location and where the items are in stock. Processing time is 3 – 4 days, and you’ll receive your order in 8 – 12 business days after it has shipped. Shipping rates depend on the location, but in the US, for orders over $50, shipping is free. The spring workwear items I ordered arrived in just over two weeks.

If you are in the US, the brand offers 30-day free returns with two options: store credit plus an additional $5 to spend or a refund to your original payment. That gives me extra confidence when I’m making a purchase. Returned items must be unworn, unused, and in the original packaging with attached tags. Simply contact the brand for a return slip and further instructions to start your return.

Fall Transition Outfits from Chicwish

Knit Top & Pants Set

Brown is having a moment, and I love the rich chocolate color of this set. It’s a medium-weight knit that is perfect for a casual workplace, travel, running errands, and lounging around the house.

Floral Crochet Knit Vest + Textured skater skirt

Both the crochet and vest trends are going strong into fall, and this darling knit vest gives me all the retro feels. The skater skirt is actually a skort, which makes me like it even more. The mix of textures makes this an easy budget friendly fall transition outfit. When the weather cools, layer a fitted mock-neck turtleneck under it and pair it with high-waisted dark denim.

Floral Embriordered Crochet Vest

Can you see a theme here? This vest, paired with the pants from the knit set, is another budget friendly fall transition outfit. It also looked great with the skater skirt. This vest is slightly longer than the first one and would work with mid-rise pants or jeans.

Puff Sleeve Linen Blend Dress

This dress checks all the boxes and would be the perfect end of summer or fall event dress. It’s a linen blend and I love the powder blue color. When the weather cools, pair it with a pair of cream or tan tall boots.

Striped Knit Vest + Round woven bag

You can never go wrong with stripes and this vest is such a great year round staple. Layer it when the weather gets colder or throw a denim or leather jacket over it.
