22 Hidden Amazon Gems That Look Way More Expensive Than $20
Between restocking my more "boring" wardrobe basics and adding household products to my cart, it's easy to forget that there are some surprisingly stylish items among Amazon's never-ending product offerings. I might have let many of these hidden gems go unnoticed in the past, but I've been spending more time scrolling through the retailer's site in lieu of an IRL shopping trip, and, well, discovering these affordable fashion items has been the upside.
Okay, so Amazon's fashion section is hardly new or noteworthy (we've been publishing our edits of everything from coats to dresses for a while now), but the following 22 sweaters, jeans, sunglasses, bags, and more were hand-selected by yours truly for being exceptionally stylish for how affordable they are.
From trendy faux-fur bucket hats to wear-everywhere jewelry staples, you'll find some impressive pieces here that are cheap but hardly look it. And since nothing in this roundup exceeds $20, they're easier to add to your checkout cart alongside those baking essentials and cleaning supplies I know you're already shopping for. With that, scroll down to shop all the hidden gems in my Amazon cart.
I'll always make room in my closet for easy basics like this.
When your everyday tote is ready for a replacement, Amazon has you covered.
One of the only jewelry items fashion girls are wearing on repeat.
A grandma trend that's here to stay.
I can already imagine this with an oversize jacket and knee-high boots.
Buy this six-pack of pretty headbands and style each one with a coordinating outfit.
This is a minor investment for an anklet that will make any shoes you wear with it look that much chicer.
I wouldn't be surprised if people assumed this was a rare vintage find.
I love when affordable pieces look really expensive.
