20 Spring Trends Amazon Has Me Buying on the Cheap
We're back with another round of unexpectedly cool things you can find on Amazon. Rewards are often sweeter when you've put in the work to earn them. Such is the case whenever I find an Amazon gem. By now we're well aware of how difficult the e-retail behemoth can be to sort through when it comes to more niche fashion finds. But with enough elbow grease and determination, you can find a plethora of up-to-date trends. Among them are some of the S/S 21 trends that are already blowing up.
Truly. Flossy lace-up sandals, tube tops (surprise!), cropped cardigan tops—if we've named it, we've found it. So long as you're willing to put in the creativity to search them out, as we've mentioned before, winning the Amazon game is all about getting smart with your key search terms, and these trends can be yours for so cheap. So scroll below for the budget-friendliest spring shopping excursion. You won't be disappointed.
Relaxed-Fit Jeans
The new It jean trend I can get behind.
Funky Beaded Necklaces
The 2021 version of the gold chain necklace is a beaded necklace inspired by summer camp DIYs.
Knit Polos
The most wearable of all the spring trends.
"Dad" Trousers
Follow suit and pair these loose trousers with a simple tank for a cool and casual look.
Fashion Flip-Flops
Otherwise known as heeled thongs.
Bucket Hats
If it's good enough for Hailey Bieber it's good enough for us.
'80s Redux Sneakers
The '80s sneaker redux is putting classic Reebok styles back on the map.
Retro Florals
The bikini trend of the season.
Shop the matching Palmero Bottoms ($85)
Layered Collars
The micro-trend that's definitely worth trying.
Sweater Vests
"Grandpa" dressing, anyone?
Baguette Bags
And I repeat, may the '90s train trend never end.
Side Cutouts
Cutouts add a cool and forward touch to an otherwise basic dress.
Classic Trench Coats
Classic cotton trench coats are timeless to be sure, but there's no denying they're experiencing a renaissance this spring.
Oxford Shirts
Forget a proper jacket. A slightly oversized oxford shirt does just the trick while helping the rest of your outfit look more put together.
Loafers
I recently called out loafers as one of this spring's most comfortable shoe trends. There's no chance I'm not stocking up on every iteration possible.
Tennis Skirts
The tennis court theme continues into this spring, too.
White Tube Socks
All trends are cyclical. Yes, including the high white tube sock.
Nap Dresses
The ideal shoe for work or play.
Leather Trousers
This fall staple is quickly transitioning into a springtime must-have.
Button-Down Vests
When they said the '80s were back, we didn't know they actually meant the 1880s. Adding waistcoats to our spring shopping list.
Up next, seven spring trends that Nordstrom, Zara, and Amazon are stocking.
