I Proudly Buy My Basics on Amazon—36 Items I'm Stocking Up on This Prime Day
If you know me, you know how much I love stocking up on fashion essentials from Amazon. Several times a year, I replenish my closet with the retailer's timeless pieces, but I eagerly wait for one special day—Amazon Prime Day. It's during this annual event that I embark on a major shopping spree, purchasing all my beloved wardrobe basics at discounted prices.
Being a dedicated Amazon Prime Day shopper for over seven years, I must say this year's event is particularly exceptional. Since Amazon Prime Day 2024 is finally here, and it's the last day to shop, I'm thrilled to share my top picks with you.
What's in store, you ask? A diverse range of everyday classics. The denim collection alone is a treasure trove, featuring versatile straight-leg and baggy jeans from Levi's, Rag & Bone, and The Drop. That's just the beginning. There's a delightful selection of designer-style outerwear, such as trench coats and jean jackets, alongside elegant shoe varieties, including strappy sandals and Mary Janes. Plus, you'll find discounted basics like Skims-inspired tank tops and stylish, practical activewear suitable for a range of activities and body sizes. The sheer variety is sure to invigorate your shopping experience.
As an expert Amazon shopper, I can confidently say that these elevated basics will be completely sold out before the event draws to a close, so I urge you to explore my chosen deals on fashion basics from the Amazon Prime Day sale before they vanish. Time is ticking away, so don't let this opportunity slip through your fingers!
This Madewell white T-shirt sets the standard for perfection.
A reliable white button-down is a staple in every French woman's wardrobe. Wear this one alone or layered under a crewneck sweater.
This is so cozy. Wear it slung over your shoulders with a tank top and silk pants in the summer or on the body with jeans and boots in the winter.
When this dress went viral last year on TikTok, I immediately bought one, and I'm so happy I did. The quality is amazing, and it hugs my body in all the right places. It also has built-in shorts, which make me feel comfortable when playing tennis or running errands. Plus, the thick straps make my chest feel well-supported. I highly recommend this dress; it's a perfect 10 out of 10.
Tailored vest sets may be considered trendy at the moment, but they are actually fashion basics that everyone should have in their capsule wardrobe. The lightweight material is perfect for the summer heat but also great for layering in the fall and winter. You can wear this two-piece on your next flight or to the office—anything goes.
The Gym People is my go-to brand for reliable workout leggings. The quality feels like Lululemon, but the price tag is much more reasonable. I've had a few pairs for a year now, and they have held up really well after many washes. Get yourself a few different colors, and thank me later.
Fashionable women across the country, from Los Angeles to New York City, are ditching their denim shorts in favor of these anti-trend long shorts. Constructed from breathable linen and featuring oversize front pockets, these shorts are both practical and stylish. Better yet, they are 50% off!
I can't believe Amazon discounted its best-selling tennis skirt for Prime Day! What's great about it is the built-in shorts with pockets and the material that's absorbent, sweat wicking, and quick drying. This piece would look so cute with a tight-fitting tank top and white sneakers, whether playing tennis, golf, or pickleball.
The great thing about Prime Day is that Amazon discounts in-season fashion pieces like this one-piece swimsuit. Over 400 shoppers purchased it in the past month, so it must be worth it.
