1. A faux-leather double circle belt to instantly add some wow factor to even the most basic of outfits. It comes in a bunch of different colors and will become your jeans' new best friend.
Promising review: "This is my favorite belt! It's perfect with jeans, and I get so many compliments on it. I love that the double-ring is sort of designer-inspired, but not a complete knockoff of the Gucci belt. I highly recommend! I am typically a medium and the medium was perfect." —Everyday Teacher Style
Get it from Amazon for $12.74+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 14 colors).
2. An oh-so-chic corset sweatshirt that'll amp up your lounge days. You can pair it with the matching joggers on those days when leaving the house is out of the question (but you still want to look and feel extremely put together) or throw on your favorite pair of jeans for a brunch-ready look.
Janet Gwen is an Asian woman-owned small business founded by Janet Hoang in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2014 when she was just 19. The company now creates elevated essentials including apparel, tech accessories, home goods, and more.
Get it from Janet Gwen for $38 (originally $48; available in sizes S–XL).
3. A silky V-neck slip dress you'll want to ~slip~ into for every single occasion. Dress it up with your double circle belt and a pair of heels for a stunning weekend lewk or layer a tank top over the top and add some sneakers for a dressed down vibe.
Promising review: "This dress looks silky and high quality and can pair well with any jacket. It still looks great after machine wash and machine dry." —Kaiyuan Yang
Get it from Amazon for $38.43+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 25 colors and patterns).
4. A string bikini top because you + the beach = best friends this summer. This simple yet stunning style is a great match for more expensive triangle-shaped bikini brands, but spending less $$$ on swimwear means more money for the beach bar.
5. A pair of oversized square sunglasses many reviewers say are actually similar to more expensive designer sunnies. If you're the type of person to lose your sunglasses pretty easily (read: me) then it's NBD.
Promising review: "I found these because a girl on TikTok was wearing them. The quality is amazing. Not cheap material. Good shape. I love them. Totally worth the price. I’ll probably end up getting another pair to keep in my car." —alisa bagel
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 11 lens colors).
6. A chic bandana to take your outfit from drab to FAB! Wear it tied around your neck for a Fred Jones out of Scooby-Doo vibe, or tie it into your hair to complete your summer 'do.
7. A bamboo handbag so you can add a boho feel to any look. There's just something about a bamboo bag that looks so $$$, but this one comes in at way less than 50 bucks. In conclusion, you need to buy it. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
Promising review: "Just like the expensive bag you see all over Instagram for about one-third the price. Quality workmanship and a special little gift added to the purchase!" —H. C. Greenwell
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in two sizes).
8. A leopard-print slip skirt to help you show off your wild side this summer. And by wild side, I mean outfit repeating because you're never going to want to take this bb off.
Promising review: "This skirt is very nice. It's hard to believe how inexpensive it really is! I actually bought it to be worn with a $250 designer top that was shown on the runway with a very similar silk skirt (that I couldn’t afford). This skirt is perfect to complete the look!!" —Rmc7
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in eight colors).
9. A faux-shearling moto jacket that'll become the most effortlessly cool item in your closet. Yes, it's summer, but you'll be *so* grateful for this once the weather starts to cool down again. Plus, it's a staple piece that's gonna last you forever.
Promising review: "This is very similar in style to the designer Acne real shearling coat. I love it. Thick and warm, looks amazing. I have to cut off a few snags, but otherwise the best apparel purchase I have made on Amazon thus far! It has the exact edgy cool look I was looking for, and I don't even mind it being faux since it's sooo warm." —Monia Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 10 colors).
10. A stunning gold-colored ring so you can get blinged up in the most subtle way. It has teeny tiny gem detailing engraved into it and can be worn alone or stacked with your other statement rings.
11. A beaded handbag because a great bag is the only way to complete an outfit. This one has been encrusted with shiny faux pearls to give it a super expensive feel. Literally no one would guess it cost you less than $70 (!!)
Promising review: "It’s so impressive. There’s a designer version for four times as much. Why pay that when this one is so good! The packaging was exceptional, so it arrived safely. I love the little drawstring bag it comes with for your items. It’s sturdy and well-made. You can see the glue/threading on it but I can deal with that :) BUY IT! I have the cream one ordered as well." —Erin
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in six colors).
12. A pink velvet loveseat to make all of your Barbie Dreamhouse desires come true. With an average rating of 4.8 and many reviewers commenting on the incredible quality, you can't really go wrong.
13. A double heart pendant necklace that will give the same look as a pricier brand's cult favorite item, but on a budget. You can customize the pendants with your name, initials, or whatever else your ~heart~ desires.
14. A pair of sneakers with an eye-catching stripe detail. They're giving the same vibe as a viral designer brand's sneaks, but for half the price.
15. A gorgeous wrap dress rivaling even the most pricey of brands. You'll be spoiled for choice with the amount of colors and patterns on offer. One for every day of the week? Yes, please.
Promising review: "The perfect LBD. This is my favorite dress! The fit is body-skimming without being too tight — think chic rather than club-wear bodycon. The knit is thick and expensive feeling. I am getting more colors!!!" —RaisinBran
Get it from Amazon for $25.90+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 22 colors and prints) or a similar style also from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes L–5X and five colors).
16. A pair of canvas espadrille shoes that will be the only shoe you need this season. They're super comfy and breathable, which your feet are gonna thank you for as you're strutting around in 80-degree weather.
17. A super spacious tote bag to carry around all of your belongings in style. It's sturdy enough for things like books and groceries, but it'll also look amazing as your everyday office bag.
18. A pair of viral workout joggers that have almost 90,000 reviews, with many saying that they are pretty much identical to a more expensive pair.
19. A textured cardigan so you can live out your wildest Daisy Jones & the Six dreams. Seriously, this cardigan looks like it stepped straight out of a Taylor Jenkins Reid novel and I'm gonna need one in every color.
20. A pair of chunky Chelsea boots that are definitely made for ~walking~. They'll pair nicely with just about anything and the low chunky heels make them super comfy to walk in.
21. A darling tie-back midi dress for all of those big summer moments. Be prepared for plenty of people asking, "oh my goodness, where did you get your dress?"
22. A striking mirror that'll instantly upgrade any space. This one is a really similar style to one designer brand's mirror that's a lot more expensive, but it's truly hard to tell the difference between the two.
23. A pair of jelly block heels to give your look a Polly Pocket-esque throwback. They'll add a bold ~pop~ of color to your day and as someone who owns a pair, I can tell you they're super comfy and easy to walk in.
24. A double-breasted blazer that you can take from the boardroom to the bar. It comes in three different colors and the gold-tone buttons add a ~pop~ of elegance that can turn up the fanciness level of any outfit. This is power dressing at its finest.
Note: Reviewers do say that it runs a bit small, so consider sizing up.
Promising review: "This blazer style is so on trend right now, and this one is a pretty good copy of the high-end brands. However, I think it runs small. I am usually a 6/8, and ordered size 10 because I want to wear a tee or cami underneath the jacket. Didn't have any issue with the buttons as other reviewers stated, and though polyester, its a decent weight and fabric. I live in SWFL, so it makes no sense for me to spend $600+ on a blazer. This one will work just fine." —PinkGirl51
Get it from Amazon for $95 (available in sizes XS–3XL and in three colors).
25. A floaty tiered maxi skirt ideal for when you want to switch things up from your normal midi dress and heels combo. From beach days to nights at the bar, this skirt can (and should) be worn everywhere.
26. A pair of bow chunky heeled sandals so perfect for the summer. Whether you're headed to a formal event or brunch with your bestie, these beauties will leave everyone asking, "AHH, are those designer?!" on repeat.
Promising review: "I absolutely loved these shoes. I got SO many compliments when I wore them for my bridal shower. The bright pink color was so fun. Honestly, these were the most comfortable heels I’ve worn in a long time. The fabric around the front of your foot is so soft. I would 10/10 recommend these to someone looking for a cute pair of shoes for an event. I’m tempted to buy another color for my next event!!" —Mara
Get them from Amazon for $64.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and in seven colors).
27. And a pair of midrise boyfriend jeans so you can finally perfect that "jeans and a cute top" outfit.
