12 Fashion Must-Haves From the Amazon Big Spring Sale

Sure, you may associate flannel with pumpkin patches and the requisite orange gourd-themed lattes. But the truth is, flannel is a great transitional wardrobe piece when making the jump from winter to spring, too. (Especially in early spring, when mornings and nights still bite.) Shackets (a shirt-jacket combo) have been around for a hot minute, garnering the approval of Katie Holmes in the process. This Amazon fashion sale find has nearly 12,000 5-star reviews, with buyers praising the quality of the material, comfort and vast array of pattern options. The shacket comes in 26 different colors and features a soft, fuzzy fabric that'll keep you cozy until the warm spring breezes come rustling through.

For those who always want to be on trend, trust me when I say there's nothing trendier right now than the Boho aesthetic. Just look at the entire SS25 collection from Chloé as a prime example. Flowing fabrics, A-lines, ruffles, floral patterns...other brands fully embracing an iteration of the aesthetic include Etro, Gabriela Hearst, Isabel Marant and Louis Vuitton. So why not hop on the bandwagon for a fraction of couture prices? This Grace Karin number is both with the times but also something I'd keep in my closet for many seasons—after all, A-line, smocked backs and a little ruffled skirt never go out of style.

When it comes to getting dressed, I am an enormous fan of the matching set because the whole outfit is taken care of. (I mean, if even Taylor Swift follows this rule, it's good enough for me.) In the summertime, my other personal mission is to wear as little clothing as is socially acceptable, and to keep my fabric selection to cotton and linen for maximum cooling capabilities. Enter: this shorts set, which fulfills both my requirements. I'm totally smitten with a cropped blouse/high-rise bottoms combo, and to make things even better, the shorts have a flattering, gathered elastic waistband and pockets. There are eight colors to choose from, including navy blue and almond, plus bright seasonal hues like camellia and peach caramel.

To me, nothing says "warm weather" more than a straw bag. (Dolce & Gabbana, Litkovska and Longchamp would agree.) During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, you can snag this fun rattan bag for under $40. It comes in a variety of shapes and embellishments, and is also lined. The bag can easily fit your phone, keys, wallet and sundry makeup. Consider it your go-to for lazy days by the sea.

Aside from a matching set, there's nothing I love more than a good maxi dress. A one-and-done outfit that I can wear to work, dinner, brunch and on vacation? Yes, please. I love Cupshe's creative *twist* on this style, starting with the fact that it comes in 29 colors and patterns. Then there's the cutout back with self-tying bow, V-neck with draping thanks to the sleek center knot and a cute peek-a-boo moment. And, pockets, duh.

As someone who lives in trousers at the slightest sign of a cool breeze, I must say that fewer silhouettes are more fun and interesting than the paper bag. Sure, the name doesn't sound sexy, but the end result is an outfit visually pleasing to the eye. In this instance, the gathered waist and tie add some texture to an otherwise ordinary color, and the wide (but straight) legs give balance to the bulk the gathering can create.

This tie-front blouse looks suspiciously similar to a certain Ganni top, but for a literal tenth of the price. The babydoll shirt comes in a bevy of spring hues, from pink and yellow to light blue and green. With its puffy sleeves and stack of bows, it's giving toned-down coquette vibes. (Maybe Lolita grew up.)

Just because the calendar proclaims we've entered a certain month of the year doesn't always mean there are temperatures to prove it. Much like the shacket, a crewneck is a great essential to have on hand for warm daytime temps that dip into chilly evenings. The fabric is a cotton/elastane blend that's, per shoppers, soft and comfortable, with the ability to keep you warm even though it's rather lightweight. The crewneck comes in ten colors, and my favorite just might be the one that pays homage to Where's Waldo.

Last year, Pinterest predicted the rise of Western Gothic. Then, Cowboy Carter debuted. Post Malone followed with F-1 Trillion, and this year, pop's new It Girl Chappell Roan is slated to turn to the genre, too, with the release of her new single, "The Giver." (Not to mention her hit, Pink Pony Club, which was heavy on the cowgirl motif at the Grammys.) So, you can bet your bottom dollar the country aesthetic is going to stick around for a while. These WetKiss cowgirl boots deliver, coming in at under $60 with a roomy toe box, block heels and knee-high shaft. Opt for the classic brown or choose of the other four iterations, including some suede options.

The Canadian tuxedo is always a classic, but I've also been seeing it pop up a fair bit lately. I just bought a denim matching set, and when I met up with a friend recently, she was also wearing a Canadian suit. I love this babydoll dress because depending on how you style it, you can totally lean into Western-chic or coquette thanks to the three-quarter puffy sleeves, front buttons and pleated skirt. It comes in a variety of washes, including black and light blue.

Shacket not your style? Try this cropped quilted jacket instead. It's a lightly padded puffer with the requisite stitching and piping that resemble a snug little quilt. The design has a boxy cut remniscent of the cult-favorite Toteme scarf jacket, without the commitment to the scarf. Generously sized pockets top off the look.

In my book, timeless style always rules. Two things that always fall under that umbrella: Eyelet fabric and cap sleeves. This dress comes in 20 fun colors, including classic white and navy, plus fun shades like rose red, green and light blue. I love eyelet fabric because it adds texture and visual interest to an otherwise standard V-neck and empire waist silhouette.
