Pop Off, Amazon—These 40 Items Are Giving Designer for Way Less
Confession: I've never understood the appeal of shopping for clothing on Amazon. I know that most people find ecstatic joy in stumbling upon affordable dupes from the retailer or can't fathom living without ultra-fast shipping. But for me, it didn't really ever fully speak to me… until recently. With inflation high and winter coming, it's more necessary than ever to try to save a bit more money where you can. For some, that means not buying into every single trend or investing in quality staples. But there is another way to still shop for a new season without spending all your money—ahem, Amazon.
As much as my former self would hate to admit it, Amazon does have items that look designer if you don't mind digging for them. If you're not one to spend hours scrolling through pages searching for the best sale finds or you generally hold harsh feelings toward the retailer, don't fret. Ahead, I've taken the liberty of rounding up the 40 best fashion finds on Amazon, all under $150. Some of the picks included have been discounted for the retailer's Prime Big Deal Days event, while others are just too good to pass up. Either way, these luxe-looking items will prove to the skeptics and the fans that Amazon does pop off from time to time.
You don't have to spend a ton on sunglasses in order for them to look designer. You just need to opt for classic silhouettes!
Everything about this bag looks luxurious—from the shape to the hardware.
Striped sweaters will always look stylish, no matter their price tag.
Investing in a classic belt can make any outfit look 10 times more expensive.
Never understimate the power of a great pair of jeans.
It's a sign. Go ahead and adopt the Mary-Jane-shoe trend. You know you've been waiting for this moment.
Pro tip: Make your winter outerwear outlast the trend cycle by shopping for more timeless styles—e.g., the peacoat above.
Although this jacket isn't currently on sale, it's the type of piece that you'll wear so much that it will be well worth the money.
Featuring an adjustable strap, this purse can be worn as a proper handbag or shoulder bag depending upon your mood.
Satin shirts will always scream "money" in my mind.
Owning a pair of well-tailored trousers is the key to looking like you have an offshore bank account (even if you don't).
With winter just around the corner, I can't think of a better buy.
Pair this with a cute coat, a sweater, tights, and boots for the perfect fall-to-winter outfit.
You can also shop this simple shoulder bag in 16 other colorways, including black, white, and even silver.
Your future self will thank you for buying this ultra-chic wrap coat.
Leather trousers are the secret to looking stylish all winter long.
Amazon occasionally has the best designer sale finds on the low—see these shades as proof.
While this faux-leather dress is not on sale, it's too good not to include in this roundup.
With sculptural jewelry trending, this bangle is the perfect way to adopt the trend without spending too much.
You can wear this to work or out on the town.
If you thought you missed your chance to adopt the moto-jacket trend, think again.
Levi's Ribcage jeans continue to sell out, so you gotta act fast if you're trying to get your hands on them.
Consider this faux-fur coat final proof that Amazon does have some seriously luxe-looking items on the down-low.
