Price: $49.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and 10 colors/styles; also available in a mule shape)

5. Or a pair of mesh jelly sandals because I will not let you spend almost $800 on jellies. With these, you can try out the trend, let your tootsies breathe, and shout "Row, shmow!"

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Some reviewers say to go a half size up. Also grab some Foot Glide just in case you need to prevent blisters! 

Promising review: "How on trend are these for summer? I loved the look of these. Definitely don’t hesitate to get them. The jelly is soft and hugs the foot." —R J

Price: $38.99+ (available in sizes 5–10.5 and six colors) 

6. A swimsuit with ruched sides and drawstrings that allow you to customize your fit, sort of like a corset. Reviewers like that the strings can change how much coverage you get, so you can adjust the look throughout the day.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love the one-piece! This swimsuit is everything I’ve been looking for — comfortable and stylish. The ruched detailing on the sides helps create a smooth, sculpted look. The high-cut sides really elongate my legs. As someone who’s on the shorter side, I really appreciate how this design makes me look taller and gives my legs that extra boost. The fabric is high-quality and feels soft against the skin, yet it’s durable enough to hold up well in the water. It also has just the right amount of stretch, providing a snug but comfortable fit without feeling restrictive. The coverage is perfect — not too much, but just enough to make you feel confident while still looking sexy and remaining family friendly. I’ve received so many compliments every time I wear it, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stunning swimsuit." —Henn.c

Price: $36.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 37 colors)

7. A pull-on midi skirt so you can finally pull off THE Instagram fashionista look: tied tee, chunky chain,Baggu crescent bag, sneaks, and this amazing skirt. And once you're sick of that look, you can style it a million other ways, from sandals to big boots.  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Oh, this skirt is perfect! The fit is loose but not in a baggy way. It’s a comfortable fit. I bought two of these in different colors for an anniversary trip. PERFECT! Lightweight and flows great! I love the material! You could even dress this up with a jacket. Super cute!" —DawnR

Price: $9.73+(available in sizes XS–6X and 12 colors/patterns; not all sizes come in all colors)

8. A comfy long-sleeve/short setthat's the closest you're getting to wearing pajamas to the group hang. The stripes are SO cute, I wouldn't blame you if you wore these from bed to brunch. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Size up if you want a real PJ experience. 

Promising reviews: "This has become one of my FAVORITE Amazon pieces! It’s so comfortable and lightweight. The sweater material is light enough to wear on a cooler summer day and will transition nicely into fall. It has a heaviness to it, though, that makes it fall nicely. I will wear the sweater with jeans through the winter!" —suitelikewillowrock

"This is the perfect set for a beach trip! I loved throwing this over my swimsuit for the beach. It's great quality for the price!" —Caitlin

Price: $42.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 36 colors)

9. A pair ofrhinestone cutout jeans you may have seen worn by a certain pop star at a certain football game. OK, not this exact pair — we're not all millionaires — but close enough!

www.amazon.com

Just a heads up that some reviewers note the rhinestones go a little too far into the inner thigh area and might rub together.

Promising review: "I love the jeans, the color, and the design. The pants' length and looseness are perfect for me." —iejo

Price: $49.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and two colors) 

10. A chic lil' shoulder purse so you can feel as effortlessly cool as a Parisian without any of the risks that come with living in Paris — getting Ratatouille'd, for example. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I absolutely love this purse brand! I’ve purchased three so far, including one for my daughter, who’s in college, and she adores it. The design is stylish and cute, yet super functional. It has plenty of space — even enough for her laptop — without feeling bulky. The quality is excellent, and the craftsmanship really stands out. These bags are perfect for everyday use, whether you’re heading to work, school, or just out and about. Highly recommend!" —Nora

Price: $16.99+ (available in eight colors)

11. A simple, reliable tankwith a fun V-neck that spices up an otherwise normal basic. Despite its low price, customers are happy with the quality and fit. One reviewer saidit feels "soft like satin or silk." 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Love these shirts! Gives me a professional look on a budget. They wash well! Comfortable cotton material. I highly recommend." —Sherry

Price:$9.35+ (available in S–3X and 24 colors/patterns)

12. Or if you'd prefer a crewneck (and maybe a fun pattern), atankyou'll be glad to have for every grocery store run, outdoor dinner, or intense mini golf game. Wear as a tunic with leggings, tuck it into some high-waisted pants, or — you know, what? You can kinda style this anyway you want. It's that versatile. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Far and away the best fabric of any of the Amazon tops I've purchased. The fabric is just the right thickness, and it's not too much stretch either. The print is beautiful. If you plan to wear this with a jacket, it will be great." —JC in Texas

Price: $9.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 31 colors/patterns)

13. Apuffy sleeve topso darling, even teddy bears will get jealous. The square neckline is basically like a giant spotlight for your favorite necklace. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This top is super cute and stylish and can be dressed up or down! Washed and dried with little to no wrinkling — I hung it up immediately after drying. This top is more slim fitting, rather than boxy or flowy, but is very nice. You could size up if you want a looser fit. True to size and seems well made with lightweight, but not too thin, fabric. Color is very pretty! The price was affordable." —Annepato

Price: $12.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 26 colors/patterns)

14. Chunky ankle boots in a timeless sillouette to give any outfit a little edge and a lot of comfort. The elastic sides make it easy to throw these on, so I foresee these being your go-to boots. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I love everything about these boots. They are well-made, very fashionable, and comfortable. I was a little concerned about the height of the heel being uncomfortable, but I wore them to work all day and didn't have any problems with my feet hurting. Very happy with my purchase!" —momtojsh

"I have wide feet, so I am always scared to buy boots because they tend to be too tight on my feet and hurt after a while. But I ordered my normal size in these boots and they fit perfectly! I’m glad to finally have a pair of boots that don’t suffocate my feet." —Bethany Shaffer

Price: $8.90+ (available in sizes 5.5–11, including wide fits, and 11 styles)

15. Breathable and machine-washable pointed-toe flats with stretchy knit uppers that'll have you tap dancing with glee when you try them on. When your dancing shoes start to get dingy, just toss 'em in the wash. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I have several pair of Rothy’s in a very similar style to these, and they are actually just as comfortable right out of the box as Rothy’s…maybe more so. I also purchased in black. LOVE THEM!!" —Amazon Customer

"Wore these in Las Vegas, and they were perfect for a nighttime walk to a show. They are SO comfortable and breathable, and my poor footsies are ruined from wearing heels every day when I was younger. These look fabulous and feel great. What a great find! I’m gonna have to buy them in another color now." —JeGo

Price: $32.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and 14 colors and patterns)

16. A beautiful tennis bracelet no one has to know is actually made with zirconia. You just need to decide if you want yellow, white, or rose gold plating — or OK, all three. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

If you want to step up the quality, the bracelet is also available in 18k gold vermeil. Learn more about the difference here.

17. A layered necklace set with three classic chains — herringbone, curb, and rope — that'll elevate any outfit, even your dog-walking uniform. Thanks to their gold plating, the necklaces are hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant, making them a great budget option when solid gold is out of the question. 

Amazon

Promising review: "I love the way these layering necklaces look! I haven’t taken them off since I received them and they look brand new still. I’ve worn them in the shower, pools, and beach, and they are still perfect." —Allison Kwong

Price: $13.99+ (available in three finishes and 14 other styles)

18. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that's the closest you can get to wearing a nightgown outside while still looking ready for date night. Reviewers say that this fabric is not only comparable to a certain Skims dress, it might actually be even better. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers agree that if you want it fitted, size down.

Promising reviews: "I saw this girl wearing this exact style of dress with a Skims tag on the back, and honestly, it made me so grateful that I purchased this dress instead. It looks exactly like the Skims version, and I could be biased, but the material of this dress looked better than the Skims one. If you want it to be a little snug, I would definitely recommend sizing down one size from your normal size. So freaking comfortable and made out of thick material." —Kaitlyn

"I have the Skims dress in black and wanted to look for a cheaper version, but I read reviews, and some said that it is a bit looser than expected. I would agree that the small is a bit loose. If you want a snatched look, definitely get a size smaller, as it is very stretchy. I'm 5' tall so this is a bit long on me, even when I wear heels. In comparison to the Skims, the material is smoother, while Skims has a ribbed texture. You honestly can't tell the difference. Good bang for your buck if you ask me!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $24.99 (available in sizes XXS–XL and seven colors)

19. And a scoop-neck tee offering the same buttery softness as the beloved Skims top. Bonus: This one comes in more colors than it costs. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one, lol, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." —Julianne

Price: $9.99+ (available in sizes XXS–3XL and 34 colors)

20. Amidi corset dress if you love the House of CB Carmen dress but not the price. ($225?!) You can still enjoy a cinched back, front tie, and all the compliments of the real deal. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check it out on TikTok.

Promising reviews: "Bought this dress because I always wanted to get the House of CB dress but didn’t want to pay over $250 for it. It’s honestly so good! I got the size large in this since they didn’t have my normal sizes, which are small to medium (I have a bigger chest, so I tend to size up). But since this has a corset back, I was able to cinch it up really tight, and it fit perfectly!" —Chris Herfurth Kennedy

"Beautiful, stunning perfection. This may be the best thing I've ever bought on Amazon. The corset in the back makes it fit like it was made for me. It's double-lined and not see-through at all, even though it's white. The straps are adjustable, the slit is a good height, and the fabric is slightly stretchy. I cannot say enough good things about it. It did come slightly wrinkly in the skirt, but nothing that a good steam won't fix." —Shoshanna

Price: $59.99 (available in sizes 0–14 and 20 colors/styles)

21. A quilted floral jacket perfect for this unpredictable summer weather. (60 degrees in New York in JUNE?!) Can't complain about chilly mornings when it's an excuse to wear something this cute. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I ordered this jacket hoping it would meet my expectations of a similar designer jacket but for a fraction of the price. Let me tell you how shocked I was! I love the quality of the quilted fabric, and the color is stunning! The lining is silky soft on my skin and does not leave my skin feeling itchy. I layered this over a light T-shirt and still had plenty of room for a heavier base layer. I received countless compliments on the color and one friend even thought it was the designer brand! Now I’m just trying to decide which pattern to order next!" —Taylor

Price: $32.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 patterns)

22. A pair of crossover flared leggings providing a silhouette so enticing, you'll find yourself getting distracted every time you see your reflection. If the 5,800+ happy reviewers are to be believed, these pants are so comfortable, you'll be asking questions like, "can I wear these to a wedding?" 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have a pair of the Aerie crossover flare leggings, and those are worn out, so I decided to purchase another pair because I can’t live without my flares! Y'all, these leggings are the truth!! I have never seen such a great [alternative] for the Aerie ones. They feel like butter soft on your skin and have the same durability and thickness, even the same stitching!! Save your money and get these!!!" —Jasmine

Price: $12.49+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, two inseams, and 32 colors)

23. And a super-soft longline sports bra some have compared to Lululemon's Align tank top for an Equinox-level workout look at a Planet Fitness price. Reviewers say it offers a little less compression, so you can wear it on casual days, too. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wasn't seeing many pictures of small-chested ladies, so I was a little worried about how this would fit. It fits perfectly! The straps stay in place, don't look weird with the bra cups, and it is form-fitting in the back. I hate tank tops that have a big gap in the back. This one does not. It goes down to about my belly button. I wanted something similar to the Lululemon Align, but this is well worth it instead! It is not tight at all, does not dig in, and is super breathable. I am thrilled with this purchase!" —olivia schilling

Price: $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors)

24. A tie-front cropped shirt perfect for making your vacation pics even more memorable. Remember that time we went to the boardwalk and we couldn't go more than 10 steps because people kept complimenting you? 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Fit perfectly. I love that it’s loose enough to feel appropriate for a casual event (doesn’t even look cropped from the back), but still open enough for a cute look. Literally my new favorite shirt." —Val

"Great material. Perfect fit. Versatile — can be used as a swimsuit cover or over a regular top. I ordered it in another color after I realized how nice it was." —Rachel's Style Spot

Price: $19.99 (available in sizes S–XL and seven colors)

25. A bodycon pencil dress because you can alwaaaays use another LBD. Whether it's formal or casual, it all comes down to the right accessories — love a do-everything piece!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this dress. Simple, classy, and professional. It can be worn with a nice necklace to spruce it up, and flats and/or pumps. The material is also versatile enough so that it can be worn year-round; all you need is a pair of stockings or tights, but the dress will work either way. I plan to order more colors." —LadyLestat

Price: $38.99 (available in sizes L–XL Plus and also four other colors)

26. A large satin scarf that's so versatile, it'll likely be named "most worn" by You magazine. You can style it as a scarf, top, belt — or tie it around your bag when your tote wants to accessorize, too. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I love this product! I purchased to fashion into a top for various occasions. The scarf is of higher quality than I anticipated. Fabric feels the same in thickness as an Hermès...Will definitely be purchasing in different patterns!" —ACP1997

Price: $6.99 (available in 32 patterns)

27. High-waisted palazzo trousers because they offer all the comfort of sweats while still serving up major voted-best-dressed-in-high-school looks.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These pants as so comfortable and flowy! I stepped outside of my usual skinny jean outfit to try this style and I never want to take them off! They are great casual pants for work, and can be dressed up for the evening with a fancy shirt and heels. They are as comfortable as pajamas, without looking like it :)" —Nash

Price: $25.49+ (available in sizes XS–2X and 29 colors)

28. A denim pencil skirt that goes with pretty much anything but is still special enough to get a ton of "where did you get that?"s. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "LOVE these skirts! I have three now (black denim, gray, and light blue). I get compliments every time I wear them. Looks cute in flats and super cute in heels! You can dress it down or up...multi-look skirt!" —Brenda Torres

Price: $25.99+ (available in sizes 2–24, five lengths, and 34 styles)

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have this shirt in black and white, and it's the perfect crop top for anything high-waisted or maxi skirts. The material is super stretchy and comfy. The white is not as see-through as I thought it might be and is perfect to wear with a simple bra or cami. Would buy in every color!" —skye

Price: $16.99 (available in sizes XS-XL and 18 colors)

30. A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses so similar to Miu Miu, you could possibly trick friends into thinking you splurged on a $489 pair. Just be sure to correct them before they expect you to pay for lunch. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

They have UV400 protection.

Promising review: "I absolutely love these sunglasses! They suit my face beautifully and elevate any look with their stylish design. The gold details on the sides are such a stunning touch — reminiscent of high-end Miu Miu sunglasses but at a fraction of the cost. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and feel durable. I’ve received so many compliments already. Highly recommend these for anyone looking to add a chic accessory to their collection!" —Arsalan sheikh

Get it from Amazon for $10.39+ (available in five styles and two and three packs). 

31. A lantern-sleeve mini that says "Cinderella on a casual day" to me. Just look at those romantic puff sleeves and back ribbon that was definitely tied by birds! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This dress is SOOOO adorable. Absolutely in love. Gives very old fashioned feels and I'm all for it! I got the light blue, and I'm definitely buying in more colors. Worth every penny." —Olivia

Promising review: "I honestly was skeptical about all the hype (I was obviously super intrigued, still), but this is easily one of my favorite finds on Amazon. The quality is better than expected, the lace is gorgeous in person, and the details are lovely all around. The lace is soft and not itchy, and the corset itself isn’t terribly restrictive, but still offers support in the right places. I am so tempted to buy more colors." —Jessica | Booked J

34. A square-neck cami proving that less is more. Pair it with some jeans and start aura farming! Reviewers rave that this basic feels high-end, citing the super soft, double-layered fabric and amazing fit. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Literally just ordered it in three more colors." —jaden charney

They are thin, soft, the perfect length, look great, and work perfectly during my workout! They do not move around or need adjusting at all. Love the colors. Highly recommend!" —Jeanna Read

This is the perfect size for both of those things, plus glasses/sunglasses, lipstick, a small mirror, pen, hand sanitizer, and still room for more. The material is so soft, it feels like real leather, but still has structure and holds its shape and will stand up on its own. I'm going back for every color! It is so affordable!" —LMWCAMPBELL
