Not to toot my own horn, but when it comes to shopping for affordable basics, I consider myself quite the expert. There are several go-to places I beeline to when seeking out staples that are budget friendly yet chic, Amazon being my number one. I know, I know—it can be rather exhausting to wade through the thousands of products and reviews to get the right pieces that strike the perfect balance of affordable, cool, and of decent quality on Amazon, but luckily, that’s part of my job, and I absolutely love sharing all my amazing Amazon fashion finds with you, our dear readers, on the regular.
Below are some of the coolest summer basics I’ve unearthed from the multi-brand retailer, many of which I own myself—as you can see in the pic above—and are what I consider versatile, reliable, and easy to wear on a daily basis. Best of all, they’re all around the under-$25 mark! Oh, and with Prime Day coming up tomorrow (June 21), you may even be able to score some even bigger markdowns on the items below. Keep scrolling for the Amazon basics too good to pass up.
