I scrolled through 10,000 clothing items on Amazon — here are the under-$50 pieces I’m buying
Anyone else feel inspired to give themselves a little style glow-up when the air turns cold and crisp? Sweater dresses, cozy layers, textured fabrics — winter fashion has so much to love. But while I’m all for a seasonal refresh, I’m also keeping an eye on my budget (holidays, am I right?).
Whenever I feel like treating myself, I head straight to Amazon’s style section. Recently, I took it upon myself to sift through the site’s 10,000 cold-weather pieces — all under $50. It was a veritable winter wonderland.
Scrolling through page after page of deals is my kind of bliss, but I know not everyone has the time (or patience). So, I did the legwork for you. After hours of research — and maybe a little eye-crossing — I rounded up nine must-haves that deliver serious style on a budget. From flattering trousers to cozy sweaters and a chic suede handbag that will instantly elevate your cold-weather outfits, these are the nine under-$50 finds I can’t wait to add to my cart.
This sweater and wide-leg pant set looks way more high-end than the price suggests. The slouchy oversized silhouette is the perfect comfy, ready-for-a-cozy-day-at-home fit. It comes in 24 colors, and picking just one is going to be tough. (I might just treat myself to two!)
“I am obsessed with the set! I bought several different colors. You can dress it up or down, and I love to mix and match the top with other bottoms in my wardrobe. You will love it,” said one.
You can never go wrong with a classic cardigan, and this longer silhouette is great because you can wear it tucked in too. I love how size-inclusive it is — ranging from XS to 6XL — and that it comes in 26 colors.
“They are the perfect weight to use as a layering piece,” this fan said. “I did go up a size to allow for any shrinkage in washing and drying. Going back for another color soon.”
How chic is this tan suede shoulder bag? The $26 carryall exudes luxury without the hefty price tag, and it’s big enough to hold more than the essentials. Bonus: It comes with a cute faux leather pouch to keep your smaller items organized, so you won’t have to rummage through the bottom of your tote to find them.
One reviewer wrote, “The simple shape is so modern and it comes with a smaller zippered pouch lined with the same material as the bag. Perfect size for day-to-day items and feels well made.”
I love that this ribbed turtleneck has a relaxed fit that isn’t overly baggy, allowing it to drape beautifully on all shapes and sizes. It features a comfortable cowl neck, long batwing sleeves and a cut that’s flattering while still being so snuggly. Made from a super-soft woven blend, it comes in 24 colors.
“Not only is this sweater incredibly comfortable, but it is so soft and cozy. The neck is not restricting, and so comfortable to wear during cold weather. It is very flattering with leggings OR jeans,” said one customer.
These Western-inspired booties are as comfortable, versatile and easy to walk in as they are cute, shoppers say. They have a rubber outsole that keeps you steady on your feet, and the handy loop on the back makes slipping them on and off a breeze.
“This shoe is the cutest and goes with every outfit! They are very comfortable and easy to walk in,” wrote one enthusiastic shopper.
Everyone can use a tailored trouser in their wardrobe, and thousands of shoppers love this stylish, flattering wide-leg pair. The front gives you that classic look with a zipper fly and belt loops, while the back features a comfy, forgiving elastic waistband that makes them feel amazing to wear.
“Perfect pant,” is what one owner called them before saying, “I have purchased many pants of this style but returned them all until I found these. The fit is so comfortable and flattering. I always worry [about] how the booty will look with an elastic waistband and no pockets but these are great.
It’s so tempting to live in laid-back joggers and plush sweaters all season long, but this alluring sweater dress strikes just the right balance for those occasions when you need to dress up. Not only does the flattering design feature a tie at the waist to highlight your shape, but the festive red hue will look fetching at any holiday party.
One five-star reviewer wrote, “Absolutely love this dress. I got this dress for a work Christmas party and it’s very classy looking while being super comfortable as well. The fabric is way better than I was expecting.”
These chunky tear-drop earrings are only $12 a pair, but they look so similar to a $1,000 pair from Bottega Veneta. The brass earrings are hypoallergenic, so you don’t have to worry about them irritating your ears, and they come in a variety of sizes and colors. Customers rave about how surprisingly lightweight they are despite that bold, substantial look.
One called them “Gorgeous and comfy earrings” before adding, “They are so stylish and lightweight and look fabulous with anything I wear.”
The only thing cuter than a flannel shacket is a cropped flannel shacket! It’s an Amazon bestseller and comes in 35 colors, so you’re sure to find a style (or two) that you adore.
“Soft. Lightweight but warm. Definitely true to size. [The] cropped style is very flattering and comfortable to wear,” one satisfied customer said.
