My Friend Has Never Bought Clothes on Amazon—I Told Her to Buy These 5 Pieces

A friend of mine recently asked me if I have ever bought clothes on Amazon. My short answer? Yes. While I stock up on household essentials from the 'zon, I also toss in a few wearable finds from time to time—especially when my basics need a refresh. Essentially, my friend has always been curious about Amazon clothing shopping given that she could fulfill her fashion and household needs at the same time. She just wasn’t sure what was worth testing out with all the inventory. So I sent her a list (which I’m sharing with you below) that highlights the general fashion items I’ve bought from Amazon. I also tapped my fellow colleagues to get insight on their shopping lists.
Ahead, you’ll uncover five fashion categories that have great assortments on Amazon. You’ll also find a range of product recommendations if you are in fact shopping at the moment.
1. Tees and Tanks
As I’ve covered before, you just can’t beat the affordable T-shirt or tank offering on Amazon. This trusty $6 style below is a certified staple.
2. Summer Dresses
Whether you’re looking for a flowy summer dress or a simple silhouette to play up with accessories, Amazon stocks quite the variety, including many cool styles from Amazon brands such as Find.
3. Trendy Shoes
Want the New Balance sneakers fashion people can’t stop wearing? Or what about sleek heeled flip-flops? Yep, you’ll find those and more over on the 'zon.
4. Jeans and Shorts
Yep, Amazon actually has many of the It shorts and denim cuts you’re probably looking for from brands such as Levi’s and the in-house line Daily Ritual.
5. Flowy Midi and Maxi Dresses
Okay, had to throw in another round of dresses because there are so many cute ones on Amazon.
