I'm not sure if this is what Amazon meant when they named their latest promotion The Big Style Sale, but in terms of selection, it really is big. So much so that, even with all my experience in the field of online shopping, narrowing down an edit of the absolute best marked-down basics from the sale took me longer than I'd like to admit—and it's not just because I'm annoyingly picky (though that may have had something to do with it).
Nonetheless, I got it done, and I'm pleased to say that of the 29 finds you're about to see below, each one is really better than the next. From shorts to swimsuits to sandals, I've got you covered on not just the most important summer basics worth owning right now, but they're some of the coolest and most affordable versions out there, too. To get started shopping, simply keep scrolling.
