Shopping
From Y2K-inspired crop tops to the perfect chunky hoop, these finds are so good.

I’m the type of girl who is constantly searching for Y2K-driven trends and innovative outfit ideas on Instagram and Tik Tok. Sure, it’s part of my job as a stylist, but I really do enjoy discovering new labels and lewks to try every season. That being said, however, those emerging small brands and the latest celebrity fashions can be expensive — which is seriously detrimental to my monthly budget. More often than not, I turn to Amazon to discover similar styles on the cheap.
Recently, I went on a truly epic deep dive for trendy pieces that were not only cute as hell but also wearable in many different circumstances. In the end, I found the absolute chicest styles ever, all for under $60 bucks — and I’m sharing them with you below. You’re welcome, besties.

The Chunky Gold Hoops That You’ll Wear Constantly
Attention: Don’t sleep on these PAVOI gold hoops. Not only are they an Amazon best-seller (with over 28,000 perfect five-star ratings and counting) but they also only cost $14 bucks, which is a downright steal considering the tip-top craftsmanship involved. Choose between four wearable sizes in yellow gold, rose gold, and white gold plated stainless steel. There are also vermeil options that cost $50, if you prefer investment pieces. "This is my third pair of Pavoi earrings. I wear them all the time and they never get discolored or hurt my ears," one repeat buyer remarked.

These Gold Layering Chains Look Like A High-End Vintage Find
All right, I’ve waxed rhapsodic about my love for layering gold necklaces a few times thus far in this article alone. If you don’t have a collection of stellar gold chains in your jewelry box, then behold this PAVOI layering necklace set. There are yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold variations offered in multiple types of chains — but I like this one because it comes with snake, curb link, and paper clip chains for a nice minimalist mix. A huge plus? Ummm, well, the $15 price tag certainly won’t break your bank account. “This is so pretty. I love the layered look in general but especially this one. You can dress it up or down and it just glistens in the light,” one shopper praised.

An Inexpensive Silky Scarf That’s Seriously So Versatile
My #1 styling hack? Carrying vimate’s square scarf wherever I go. It adds a pop of color to your outfit if you opt to wear it as a necktie or handbag accessory. Better yet? It covers up greasy bedhead and looks incredible as a tube top with a maxi skirt or baggy mom jeans. See what I mean? Chic. Just note: It's actually a silky polyester rather than real silk, which drives the price down but doesn't lack quality. One shopper gushed that "this scarf is so beautiful,” while another was amazed to note how “it really has the texture you would expect from an expensive silk scarf.”

This Minimalist White Tee With Just The Right Amount Of Roominess
I am a “tiny and cropped” or “baggy AF” T-shirt kind of person — there is no in-between. This oversized T-shirt looks like the boyfriend-style cut you’d see a top brand sell for over $100 — except this one is only $23 bucks. (A major score, in my humble opinion.) Since it’s so wallet-friendly, might I suggest picking up the black and khaki options as well? You won’t be disappointed: The construction is top notch while its material has worn-in softness. “The white is very nice and not see-through. Enough stretch and it hangs well,” one customer wrote.

This It-Girl Hair Accessory In One Budget Multipack
These are my absolute favorite claw clips — ever. First off, they're floral shaped, and adorable as can be. I use them to toss my hair up at the pool or beach on days when I am trying to protect my strands from salt or chlorine. Plus, you get eight of them in an array of bright matte colors that are an instant mood-lifter. If you have long, thick hair like me, these are literally so double-duty that you won’t have any issues with slippage or re-securing them throughout the day. One shopper confirmed there was "no headache or pull," while another added that they were indeed as "sturdy" as I mentioned.

The Oversized Blazer That Transforms You Into A Street Style Star
This ’80s-inspired Grlasen blazer looks like something Kylie Jenner would wear by an edgy emerging designer. The oversized shape makes it look hella high-end and elegant (despite being a polyester, viscose, and spandex blend) that can be rocked with the athleisure staples already in your wardrobes — as demonstrated here with a cropped tank and bike shorts, for example — or over a slip dress for a fancy night out. How haute, right? A bunch of customers commented in the reviews that the quality was high although it did arrive a bit wrinkled, but it was nothing a quick steam couldn’t fix.

The Hyper-Fashionable Baguette You Can Carry From Day To Night
Finding versatile bags that can be worn with everything from casual clothes to nighttime ensembles is no easy feat. My suggestion? JW PEI’s shoulder bag fits the bill to a tee. It has that coveted '90s baguette shape that fits more than it looks, in an embossed vegan leather that looks expensive and luxurious. (And almost sorta kinda resembles a By Far bag that’s beloved both by the Jenners and Bella Hadid). " This falls into the small purse category, but there’s still ample space inside. Can fit my phone, lip gloss, mascara, blush, brow pencil, bill folder, keys, even my small battery powered fan and I’ll still have space left," one shopper praised of its carrying capacity.

These Popular Cork Sandals That Are So Comfortable
Comfort and durability are everything when it comes to everyday shoes; that’s why these slip-on CUSHIONAIRE sandals are so popular on Amazon with over 66,000 reviews and a glowing 4.5-star rating. They feature a supportive EVA outsole and a flexible cork footbed. The vegan upper straps are adjustable and feel soft and comfortable against your feet. “I was looking for a sandal that was casual, easy to slip on, and durable. I stumbled on these and they seemed to check all the boxes,” one fan gushed. These sandals come at a relatively affordable price for their quality and are available in more than 20 colors and styles.

This French-Girl Floral Dress With Darling Puff Sleeves
If you’re a Reformation fan at heart but can’t afford the brand’s high-priced floral dresses, Floerns makes this puff-sleeved midi dress that's a fabulous alternative. The showstopper’s square neckline and tie keyhole is a blessing for cleavage without showing too much of it, while the high slit adds appeal to an otherwise demure vintage style. "Fit like a glove. Love the way it cinches the waist and accentuates the bust. Perfect Sunday brunch dress!" one shopper wrote. Cottagecore vibes for the win.

A Turtleneck That Stays Tucked At All Times
The scrunchy bunchiness of an un-tucked top is irritating, especially when you don’t have the time or privacy to fix it. That’s why REORIA’s turtleneck bodysuit is the wardrobe hack that you need in your life ASAP, because it lies smooth no matter what. Made from cotton and spandex for both breathability and stretchiness, this onesie adds instant sleekness and professionalism to your outfit. Pair this baby with the above nipped trousers — and presto: You mean business. "The turtleneck part is so comfortable and doesn't feel like it's squeezing my neck," one shopper remarked. Another swore that "this is the best bodysuit I’ve found by far and beats out super expensive ones from any name brands I’ve tried."

The Retro-Looking Trousers That Are Perfectly Pleated
If doing a vintage deep dive for the perfect pair of nipped-waist pleated trousers doesn’t seem like your idea of a good time, skip the trip and purchase these Tronjori pants instead. You get the same old-school '40s palazzo style without any suspicious stains or musty smells from a bygone era. They have a slightly cropped fit and even come with options for a shorter length, which I love considering I’m only 5’ 1”. If you’re tall, though, they’ll be ankle-length to show off your favorite shoes like the photograph. "Cute flowy palazzos! No stretch but there's enough fabric that as long as the waist fits you're likely fine. I'm happy with the cut and length, will definitely show underwear lines if you're not careful but ultimately gave me the look I wanted,” a fan remarked.

A Classic Leather Belt That Looks Good With Everything In Your Arsenal
As you probably know by now, I love trendy pieces that pack a punch. However, mixing in the classics can be a nice balance for work or other professional settings — and VONSELY’s gold buckle leather belt is a lifesaver for me. Not only is it genuine leather but the high-quality gold buckle is also reminiscent of high-end department stores offerings. Even better? It costs $15 with Prime shipping. "Soft, supple, and attractive. Comes in a lovely, lined gift box. Included are tools for shortening the belt if necessary, and a cute little key ring with nail clippers. Quite a bargain for such a high end belt. Deserves more than 5 stars,” a shopper gushed.

An Oversized Button-Down Shirt Dress With Endless Styling Possibilities
The classic button-down shirt can feel a little stiff, but this 100% cotton tunic is casual yet cool in my book. It has flared 3/4 sleeves, a high-low hemline, and an effortless silhouette that can be worn as a dress or a top depending on your mood. Seriously, imagine all the different ways you can rock this, too: It looks unreal with boots, sneakers, heels, or flip-flops — not to mention, you can wear it either belted or unbelted. It’ll serve as a chill beach cover-up, or it can be paired with leggings, jean shorts — you name it. “I wore it my ENTIRE vacation! Seriously no need to pack anything else to wear to the beach. You can dress it up or down,” one fan pointed out.

A Classic Fleece Jacket In A Lot Of Colors & Patterns
On chilly days where the temperature ranges, this fleece jacket is a helpful layering piece. A midweight zip-up fleece with a high collar, this jacket can be worn with a shirt and jeans or under a heavier puffer coat. The sides are contoured slightly for a nice silhouette, and you can choose between polyester and recycled polyester options. With over 30,000 five-star ratings, this jacket is a clear winner with reviewers. “I absolutely love this jacket,” a reviewer raved. “So much that I've purchased three so far, one for me, and one for each of my daughters. They love theirs as well. They are warm, and soooooo snugly soft!”

The Most Adorable Camisole That Brings Back Noughties Vibes
A lace-trimmed camisole is such a throwback 2000s staple for me. (I have nostalgic memories of begging my mom to buy me every color at Limited Too as a preteen.) This MakeMeChic cropped cami is perfect to wear solo in the summertime with a midi skirt or layered casually under a low-cut blouse all year long. It also works for people with larger chests, and the cropped fit is ideal for smaller frames as well. "Perfect y2k cami. Im a 36D and it fits great," one shopper agreed.

The Platonic Ideal Of A Crewneck Tee (That You’ll Order On Repeat)
All right, let’s get real: Not everyone is into extra-cropped or extra-baggy styles like me. In that case, Amazon Essentials makes the perfect crew-neck tee for a timeless look that never goes out of style. A big plus? It only costs $15, so you can wear it around the clock for months on end and then just replace your tees when needed — with speedy Amazon Prime shipping, if you’re a member. Peek through the reviews and you’ll see shoppers raving about how “the quality and softness of the shirt is far beyond my expectations,” and that it “doesn’t fade or pill easily even with frequent washes.” (What more could you want in a T-shirt?)

These High-Waisted Cargo Jeans For A Trendy Alternative To Skinnies
Okay, I’ll admit it: I am that person who wears a crop top and baggy pants on a regular basis. (Another revelation for you: I wouldn’t be caught dead in skinny jeans. Eek!) My Amazon pick? These ICNGLKSND cargo jeans have that nipped-in lewk with a baggy leg and pockets galore. "Had these for MONTHS now and they're still going strong love them very much," one shopper wrote. Choose between a bunch of different washes and styles, including a preppier khaki and a Hot Topic-inspired emo pair.

They're both trendy and functional, protecting your precious peepers from 99.9% of both UVA and UVB radiation. “I got tons of complements on these glasses,” wrote one shopper, suggesting that “if you are going for a y2k aesthetic then these are perfect.” That’s hot.

The Cozy Shrug You Need For Air-Conditioned Offices & Restaurants

The solution? Throw this Sheln open-front bolero over your sundress or tank — it feels like comfortable sweatshirt sleeves, by the way — and voilà! You won't get goosebumps anywhere, anytime.

The Midi Slip Dress That’s A No-Brainer After Dark
Some going-out looks show a little skin, but it’s also understandable that you don’t want to be practically naked in the street. The Drop’s silky midi slip dress has got you covered in this instance. I featured it in black, because you can't go wrong with a classic, but I personally love the "fire orange" hue. (Just close your eyes and picture it with a glowing tan. Swoon.) This is an ideal transitional piece, as well. You can sport it with a chunky cardigan (or even a T-shirt underneath) and some boots in the fall and spring. “Ugh I LOVE this dress!!! You can dress this up or down...It’s a great addition to my closet,” one shopper wrote. Samesies.

This Sugar-Sweet Satin Mini In Throwback Prints
Not sure if this LYANER floral-printed mini skirt is giving me Delia’s or Limited Too energy — but, either way, it’s precious. Fabricated with polyester, cotton, and spandex, this silky satin feels heavenly on the skin and is light as a feather. The length is, yes, mini, but it's not short-short if you know what I mean (as in, your bum won't be hanging out like some styles). "For all my thicc beauties out there, This skirt is super cute and fits me so good!" one shopper revealed, suggesting that “the material is thin but not see through” If this pretty pattern of blooms isn’t your cup of tea, there are plainer options and a quirky cow print that’s fun.

The Ribbed Racerback Tank You’ll Practically Live In

I wear them to bed, under my sweaters, over a bikini, or simply solo with some nipped-waist trousers and sneakers for a casual day out. "The fabric is stretchy and thin and doesn't make me think "oh, this is cheap," wrote one shopper, suggesting that "the texture feels comparable to men's ribbed tanks."

That's why these Cemi Ceri crepe scuba pants are a game-changer in my world. They fit snugly through the thighs and bum, hugging your figure to the nines. But the ultra-high elastic waist and flared design delivers a supermodel legline that goes on forever. Another highlight? "They don’t wrinkle" and are "really easy to travel with," according to one shopper.
