If staying at home taught us anything, it’s how to dress comfortably. Sweatpants and T-shirts became King, and like most people, I am all about keeping this comfort-first trend going. To be honest, my go-to closet staples have become a bit tired. That’s why I’ve shopped Amazon to find the best wardrobe basics that are also surprisingly comfortable and affordable — so I can stock up. From V-necks to seamless bras, swing dresses to waterproof slides, I’ve rounded up 43 comfy basics under $30 you’ll want to wear constantly.

While I usually dread getting all dressed up, I’ve found several pieces (included in this list, of course) that are surprisingly comfortable — and thrifty. You’ll find the most versatile little black dress, a wardrobe must, that makes for the perfect date night number but could also work as a beach coverup. I’ve included neutral sandals that won’t hurt your feet or your budget, as well as plenty of flowy dress options.

I’ve also included the “meat and potatoes” of a closet if you will. I’m talking about the quality-made T-shirt packs that will last more than a few washes, the moisture-wicking underwear to make working out more comfortable, and the seamless bra that offers support without wires. These fundamental pieces are worth the investment, however, nothing is over $30 on this list. A true win-win.

Just a warning: shoppers have been known to become serial outfit repeaters after reading this list. Shop with caution.
