The 31 Best Amazon Summer Fashion Pieces I’m Shopping, Stat

You have a lot of summer weddings to go to, and this sleeveless maxi will see you through it in sophisticated style. “I LOVE this dress,” gushes Cassidy M. “The fabric is stretchy but not sheer and feels like it won’t get too terribly hot and stuffy.” I especially adore how flattering the design is, with its pleated skirt and ruched bodice. “This is a dress you could definitely dress up with a nice necklace and earrings or dress down with some sandals or sneakers. The sleeve hole fits all the way up to the armpit, so you can wear a bra with it if you need one and not have to worry about it showing,” she adds.

If there’s one thing I know to be true just by looking at these linen pants, it’s that Anrabess knows how to create easy, breezy summer-ready pieces. Perfect for beach days, these exaggerated, smocked and elastic waistband pants offer just the right combination of style and comfort. They’re made from a blend of rayon and linen, which will keep them feeling light and breathable but give them a certain amount of softness, too. Some customers notice that they can shrink a little after washing, so that’s something to consider when comparing your measurements to the size chart. In short? They’re non-negotiable for travel.

Amazon shoppers are loving this airy crochet cover-up as a vacay staple. One reviewer wrote: “I wore this cover-up almost every morning at the resort. It would be a touch chilly and this gave just enough break from the cool air on my sunburn while not being overly hot. It was perfect to throw on for lunch at the beach!” With reviews like that (and tons of color options to choose from), I’m adding this baby straight to my cart.

Whether you want to dress it up or down, this pleated midi skirt deserves a spot in your summer wardrobe. The pleats give it a touch of volume, and, thanks to the added spandex, it’ll feel stretchy and comfortable while you’re wearing it. Shoppers love that it has pockets, too, and say that it doesn’t wrinkle easily, which could make it a great choice for travel since you won’t have to worry about ironing it out when you unpack.

90s kids rejoice! Jelly shoes are back, except this pair won't torture your feet like the sandals from your childhood. The flexible PVC material make them easy to walk around in and they come in four different chic color options (although unfortunately, none of them are glitter).

One trend I’m not letting up on: the boho resurgence, which is why I’m jumping at the opportunity to snag this vintage-inspired western belt. It has a big silver buckle, western etchings and impressive size range. What’s more, it comes with an instruction manual that demonstrates the proper way to punch more holes in it or trim the leather.

Speaking of the boho revival and western influences, one of the main fabric at the center of it all is none other than denim. This summer, I’m investing in pieces like this denim shirt jacket, which will serve a multitude of purposes and deliver on both function and style. The patch pockets on the front give it a lot of character and add a touch of vintage inspiration to the modern piece. My favorite detail is how oversize it is, making it a good piece to throw on over baby tees and tank tops. Some people do note that the proportions are exaggerated to the extreme, so you may want to size down if you want an oversized look that’s not overwhelming.

This halter neck beauty comes in tons of patterns and solid colors and is made from a blend of polyester, rayon and spandex that buyers find comfortable, lightweight and breathable. Best of all—apart from the pockets—it’s very versatile. “I can dress this lovely dress up or down! I’ve worn it as a cover-up, a trendy frock with sandals to shop in and, most recently, with a beaded pair of colorful earrings, clear nude wedges and arm full of bangles for a nice dinner out,” says an Amazon reviewer. “It’s timeless and...the BEST dress to pack for a cruise or vacation.”

The vintage-inspired design of these classic 501 shorts has a waist-defining high rise and relaxed raw hem. The machine-washable shorts also have a button fly and are made from 100 percent cotton—just note this means they don’t have any stretch, so take that into consideration when choosing your size (many reviewers mention they went up a size or two!).

You never know what opportunities may arise on summer days out, so if you want to be prepared for a last minute pickleball game at the drop of the hat, it might be worth investing in a good activewear dress like this one in all of its butter yellow glory—but don’t worry, it comes in other colors, too. The simple crisscross straps in the back keep it feeling both sporty and cute, while still being totally functional thanks to the adjustable straps. And, yes, it has built-in shorts.

Now here’s one of the chicest summer bags I’ve seen in awhile. It’s handwoven yet durable, with its straw exterior and lined interior (there’s a pocket in there, too!). In it, she would be able to fit her sunscreen, beach read and bikini, and still have room for other miscellaneous items. One of the biggest complaints buyers highlight is that the shoulder strap isn’t long enough, so there’s a chance that the handbag might fit a little too snug for comfort under your armpit.

Summer is practically synonymous with wedding season, and if flip-flops aren't a part of the dress code, you're going to need a good pair of comfy heels. These ones will not only elevate your outfit but enable you to be the last one on the dance floor despite their 4.3-inch heel. The secret lies in the chunky platform, which makes them much easier to walk in than regular heels. There were some complaints about the toe strap rubbing, though, so you may want to pad the area a bit if you plan to go all night (strap cushions like these should do the trick).

If you’re partial to one-pieces, scoop up this flattering one-shoulder swimsuit from Holipick that’s earned rave reviews for its supportive fit and high-quality material. Shoppers call out that they especially love the tummy control design and modest coverage. The strap is also adjustable, so you can easily fit it exactly to your body and the strappy, keyhole design adds an extra punch of style. “One-pieces that fit me right are hard to find,” admits a buyer, who notes that it fits her long torso well. “They usually barely cover my chest once straps are up and I feel like I’m being slowly crushed to death…the bum pulling up and shoulders pushing down. Ouch!!! THIS ONE FIT ME PERFECTLY AND COMFORTABLY!!!! It is very supportive around belly and bum.”

For times when flat sandals are too casual and heels are too formal, there are ballet flats, which fill that sweet spot of casual and dressy. These ones are padded with memory foam for extra comfort and are available in both regular and wide widths, but fit aside, its chic style really stands out. I’m partial to this fashionable faux-snake skin print, but there’s also a ton of color options with neutral undertones as well that’ll go with just about everything. “[They’re] super comfy,” raves Amazon reviewer Tiffany M. “I had to order the wide fit to get it in time, but that ended up being a good call—no rubbing, and I could wear socks without any issue. Depending on your foot shape and size, I think both the wide and standard fits could work for most people. Definitely feels like a solid staple for a business casual wardrobe!”

Whether you’re taking a dip in the pool or tanning out at the beach, you’re going to need a good bikini that’s 1) cute 2) comfortable and 3) supportive. Good news: Cupshe’s bikini set is all of those things and more. From its scalloped design to its jacquard, textured material, it’s got a lot of good things going on, including adjustable, crisscross ties at the back to make it fit your gals like a gem. It’s even mom-approved, according to buyer Austin H., who deems it the, “holy grail of swimsuits! This covers all the areas needed as a mom, but is also just cheeky enough to not feel totally matronly.”

This is your sign to revamp your summer sneakers with this comfortable pair from Amazon Essentials. “I really like these shoes because they were made for walking,” says one shopper. “The soles have a very nice arch support and are very soft, feeling like memory foam. My feet don't get tired in them, [and] they usually start to hurt pretty soon after walking in other shoes of similar design.” I’ll chalk that up to their quality construction complete with padding and memory foam in the insoles, which is designed to absorb impact and give you that pillowy feel.

I love a good set that will have you looking polished in an instant. Made from a light linen and rayon blend, this dreamy duo ensures no overheating. If the reviews are any indicator, the fit is also flattering on a wide range of body types, though some buyers mention that the sizing can vary. As one writes: “I bought this thinking it probably would not look flattering on me, but I absolutely love it!!!! The top is not too cropped and the shorts are high rise, so not a lot of tummy shows.” The one downside? It can get wrinkly fast, so you’ll want to run it under a steamer or iron. 

Keep your face protected no matter where you’re headed with this packable sun hat that’s garnered more than 2,500 perfect five-star ratings and reviews. It’s made from a beachy straw material that’s begging to be worn on your next tropical trip, and it comes in a slew of colorways as well as two different sizes, medium/large and large/extra large, so you won’t have to constantly adjust it to get your perfect fit.

This dress has earned more than 5,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, so there’s really no question as to why it made this list. Reviewers call out its flattering fit and versatile design. One wrote: “I received so many compliments on this dress. The green is beautiful and can be easily dressed up or down. I’ve worn it for a BBQ and a baby shower. It hits right above the ankles and wasn’t super long. The straps need to be tied. The only downside is how wrinkled they get.” Considering everything else, spending a minute or two steaming out wrinkles seems totally worth it for a dress this good. Not to mention, it comes in this nostalgic-inducing millennial pink, which just so happens to be trending again.

Cool (check). Retro (check). Affordable (check). These aviator frames will make a serious statement the moment you break them out. They come with a soft case and cleaning cloth, and you couldn't ask for better quality for the price. And they’re not just for looks either, thanks to their UV400 lenses, which will protect your eyes from the sun. The glasses also have more than 500 five-star ratings from buyers, who say they have a design reminiscent of designer styles.

Everyone loves a good belt bag—I mean, how convenient is it to carry all your necessities while keeping your hands free to sip on that iced coffee? I especially love this one for its minimalist design and budget-friendly price tag, and it’s made from recycled nylon and polyester, making it more of an eco-friendly option than most. According to reviewers, it works nicely for travel, too. As one shares: “[I] was looking for something simple and easy to put my most needed items [in] during international travel. This works great. Just big enough to hold what I need but small enough to not be bulky…The strap is also comfortable and [has] lots of adjustability, the placement of the buckle is also nice, as it's under your arm, so I have comfort and security peace of mind.”

If you love jumping in and out of the pool all day, then you definitely need to have a sarong in your beach bag. This one is made of pure cotton, making it both breathable and easy to wash, and it has a fun tassel trim to amp up the style. Plus, it’s made by Seafolly, an Australian brand that’s been creating swimwear since 1975 and is dedicated to creating high-quality products, so you know it’ll last multiple seasons. Shoppers confirm its durability, too: “Super cute and made with good quality, durable fabric. It's a fair amount of fabric and seems like it would fit a range of body sizes. The tassels hold up very nicely in the wash as well.”

It doesn’t get easier than tossing on a matching set for lounging, and I have my eye on this button-up set made of a crinkled rayon material that reviewers say feels both soft and durable. One even claims that it feels “cozy enough to be pajamas,” which is a good enough reason alone for it to make my summer wishlist.

Come summer, shorts can feel like a dime a dozen, but this pair stands out for its 100 percent cotton fabrication, mid/high rise fit, stretchy waistband and back *and* side pockets—which is everything I could ask for in this seasonal staple. They also come in tons of color choices, so I won’t judge if you pick up more than one pair. Just a heads-up: These shorts often get returned for fit issues, so I recommend double-checking your measurements with the size chart, and don’t forget to skim the reviews.

There's no better time than summer to practice your sun salutations. But even if yoga isn’t your thing, these buttery-soft pants will work for anyone looking to enter the world of pure comfort. Although Amazon flags that some buyers often return this style because of the fit, many buyers rave over their soft waist, stretchy quality and loose-fitting legs. One says: “They fit me like a glove.” They've got a built-in elastic waistband that makes them super easy to throw on and a wide leg that won't make you feel constricted in the dog days of heat.

It's a universal truth that no summer wardrobe is complete without the perfect pair of sandals. Understated-yet-sophisticated, these Espadrilles come in more than ten finishes and, according to shoppers, they feel well-made, comfortable and cute. Not to mention stable, thanks to the sturdy platform and multiple straps along the foot. “I was looking for some white sandals that weren't too high,” says Shalece S., an Amazon reviewer,” and these are comfortable and fit perfect! I purchased two pairs. So far I've worn the white pair twice, they are comfortable, cute [and] they’re easy to keep clean. I will be wearing them for the remainder of the summer. [I’m] definitely happy to add them to my collection!” My only qualm is that some shoppers say the back straps can rub at the heel, which might have to do with proper fit and size.

This Bagsmart backpack truly has it all. Not only can it fit a 17-inch laptop, but it comes complete with a packing cube and drawstring shoe bag to keep you totally organized. And, it has a clamshell opening with built-in straps and zippered pockets to make packing easier than ever. It has tons of additional pockets, too, to fit everything from your kindle to your passport, water bottle and more.

Investing in a long-sleeve summer dress gives you options when you've spent too long in the sun or want a little extra coverage on chilly nights. This one is made with rayon, so it will be fairly lightweight and breathable, but you'll want to take special care with it, either handwashing it or placing it in a laundry bag. The smocked bodice will also be great for those with larger chests that need a little extra give.

It’s not easy to find a comfortable pair of flip-flops that actually look good, but Project Clous has done exactly that. This pair is especially lightweight, which will make them perfect for wearing on long beach days. Plus, the vegan leather footbed has a soft feel to it, so you’ll stay totally comfy. But don’t just take my word for it. One buyer says, “These are unbelievably comfortable. I haven’t been able to find a flip-flop in five years that’s not a Birkenstock.”

Everyone needs a go-to T-shirt for warmer weather and this 100 percent cotton pick from The Drop totally fits the bill. It’s machine washable, so you really can wear it as often as you want, and it has a slightly oversized and cropped fit that makes it perfect for pairing with your favorite high-waisted linen pants or shorts. And despite its boxy nature, some buyers have found it to fit tight and others, too big, but that’s nothing a quick double-check on the size chart can’t fix. Just don’t forget that it’s made from 95 percent cotton and can shrink in the wash, so that’s something to consider before selecting a size.

Between its square neckline, cutout sides and tiered skirt, Amazon's The Drop thought of everything when it designed this dress. It has just the right amount detailing to give it a unique edge over your standard run-of-the-mill midi while maintaining all of the classic elements I look for in a summer frock—aka breathable and soft material, a fun pattern and, of course, pockets.
