Pop Off, Amazon—These 40 Items Are Giving Designer for Way Less
Confession: I've never understood the appeal of shopping for clothing on Amazon. I know that most people find ecstatic joy in stumbling upon affordable dupes from the retailer or can't fathom living without ultra-fast shipping. But for me, it didn't really ever fully speak to me… until recently. With inflation high and winter coming, it's more necessary than ever to try to save a bit more money where you can. For some, that means not buying into every single trend or investing in quality staples. But there is another way to still shop for a new season without spending all your money—ahem, Amazon.
As much as my former self would hate to admit it, Amazon does have items that look designer if you don't mind digging for them. If you're not one to spend hours scrolling through pages searching for the best sale finds or you generally hold harsh feelings toward the retailer, don't fret. Ahead, I've taken the liberty of rounding up the 40 best fashion finds on Amazon, all under $150. Some of the picks included have been discounted for the retailer's Prime Big Deal Days event, while others are just too good to pass up. Either way, these luxe-looking items will prove to the skeptics and the fans that Amazon does pop off from time to time.
