I Found a Trove of Fashionable Basics at Amazon—Yep, I'm Telling All My Friends

With the staggering amount of products on Amazon, it's no wonder why many shoppers are quick to give up the search for fashionable pieces on the site. With a little patience and a well-trained eye, Who What Wear editors have been able to sort through the endless selections with much success. I am happy to report that I recently compiled a trove of stylish basics that can easily become closet staples for seasons to come. The best part is that the majority are under $100.
This roundup incorporates a combination of perennial and currently trending basics. So you'll find a range of everyday sweaters, simple dresses, cardigans, and denim alongside of-the-moment shoes and more. Every piece I selected blends seamlessly to create a ready-made wardrobe to get you through fall and beyond.
Below, shop 30 fashionable basics I handpicked straight from Amazon. Good luck not wanting to add them all to your cart.
Shop:
Half-zip pullovers are the It sweater style of the moment.
These sandals are comfy yet stylish and come in four cool colors.
This cool mini bag comes in seven different colors. Which to pick?
I am obsessed with this cardigan. I picture it worn with straight-leg jeans and cool fisherman sandals.
This understated sweater is great for everything from lounging to running errands to date night with a slip skirt.
A great white button-down shirt is an essential no matter the season.
A black slip dress is a no-brainer when you need a polished look for an event.
If you told me that this $40 was designer, I would have believed you.
