5 Under $50: Trends You Can Keep from Last Fall

Many of last fall's styles are still going strong this year, which means you can renew, reuse and recycle a lot of the stuff that's already in your closet. Here are five examples of the trends you'll want to wear again:

1. LEOPARD - This classic animal print still looks purrfect on scarves, bags and shoes. (Merona Animal Print Wrap, $12.99, target.com)

More Merona...

2. JEGGINGS - Jean/legging hybrids are back, perfect for tucking into boots and pairing with long tunics or cozy knits. (5 Pocket Denim Legging in 'Lido' Wash, $39.95, nyandcompany.com)

3. CHUNKY CHAINS - Pile on last season's mixed chains, rhinestones, and pearls with this season's strands for a one-of-a-kind look. (Chunky Layered Metal Necklace, $8.99, charlotterusse.com)

4. PLAID - Always in, always affordable, plaid can be styled to go from grunge to great outdoors to preppy to chic. Take your pick! (MNG by Mango Plaid Shirt, $49.90, jcp.com)

5. MILITARY JACKETS - The military beat marches on with buttoned jackets, blazers and vests that add structure and polish to the simplest of outfits. (Xhilaration Military Jacket, $24.99, target.com)

What trends are you happy to see returning for fall?

Yes! I love animal print anytime, anywhere.

I purchased a military-style coat last fall and I'm glad to see that military is back more than ever this approaching season. Course, I would have worn it in anyway.

The military look, always seem to be in style... cargo's boots, jackets, camouflage. I love the scarf you featured in this post. Thank you for sharing budget worthy options of the current trends.

Good to know some trends are sticking around. Only thing I'm missing is the military style jacket.

I had been looking for a pair of leopard pony hair heels for the last 6 months or so that didn't break the bank, and finally found a pair at Nordstrom's Rack tag sale marked down from $100 to $20!!! Glad to see animal prints are still IN.
