While I love to splurge on a designer piece now and then, I'm on a much tighter budget this season, which means I'm mostly shopping for pieces that are affordable yet still feel trend-forward and elevated.
I have a few brands I always turn to when I'm looking for stylish finds on a budget, and Amazon is unquestionably one of them—especially when it comes to fashion-forward basics. This week, I jumped into the depths of the Amazon jungle and challenged myself to put together a handful of outfits that feel fresh and effortlessly cool—all for under $200. If you're curious or in the mood for some wallet-friendly new-season pieces, take a look at the outfits I assembled below for inspiration.
Look 1: $166
I had to do a double take when I saw this elegant yet effortless black dress on Amazon. It's perfect to take you from day to night. I would style it with mesh ballet flats (the $60 pair below could easily pass for designer) and minimalist accessories. I'll be wearing this outfit on repeat once the temps start to rise.

Look 2: $181
It's not spring without a great trench coat, and this $80 Amazon find looks elevated and chic. Wear it with a pair of relaxed tailored trousers in a similar light-beige hue, and finish the look with contrasting black accessories. The outfit feels polished yet relaxed and is ideal for spring temps.

Look 3: $198
This outfit is oozes French-girl vibes, from the vintage-inspired lace blouse to the classic straight-leg jeans and fashion-forward ballet flats. It encapsulates that effortlessly chic spring-in-Paris look. Also, can we talk about how good these mesh flats are? I want them in every color.

Look 4: $151
In my eyes, a floral quilted jacket is the absolute perfect piece to commemorate the start of spring! Pair it with a classic relaxed white tee (our editors continue to be obsessed with the $12 Hanes cotton tee featured) and a colorful pearl-and-bead necklace to finish the look. It's the perfect weekend outfit.

Look 5: $196
For your next night out, opt for a trendy top and jeans. Try a statement fiery-red knit top—I love this one with the floral appliqué—paired with simple '90s jeans and minimalistic kitten heels. It's an Insta-worthy outfit if there ever were one.

Look 6: $147
In spring, striped knits are my go-to, and I'll unquestionably be adding this expensive-looking cardigan to my wardrobe. I'll be styling it with straight-leg jeans (I swear by this pair from Gap), and a pair of trendy Mary Janes—another amazing Amazon find.

Look 7: $155
Pale blue is having a major moment this spring, and this top is one chic way I'll be leaning into the color trend. Flattering on all skin types, the top can be worn a number of ways for ultimate versatility. Style with white jeans, a straw bag, and tan accessories for an alluring spring look.
