I'm pretty sure that last summer, my main purchases were sweatshorts, oversize T-shirts, and house shoes, so I'm feeling a bit unprepared this year, wardrobe-wise. But my calendar is significantly fuller than it was last year, so I'm stocking up. Amazon is an excellent place to do so.
Shopping for clothes on Amazon can be admittedly overwhelming, but it'd be a missed opportunity to not add a few of its excellent affordable summer basics to your cart. This year, I'm particularly drawn to oversized button-downs that can be worn with a swimsuit or shorts, tank tops galore, LBDs, and chic sandals. And yes, Amazon has plenty of these and more.
If you too are feeling like your warm-weather wardrobe is lacking after the lost summer of 2020, scroll on to shop my expensive-looking picks that no one will guess are actually quite affordable.
The modern cutout makes this T-shirt look like a designer find.
White pleated shorts are underrated.
So good with denim.
I can't wait to wear this with white sneakers.
Speaking of white sneakers…
As comfortable as pajamas but much chicer.
In the battle between you and the A/C, be the winner.
Never underestimate the joys of an elastic waistband.
This will be the first thing you reach for on a 100-degree day.
I love a boxy, cropped T-shirt this time of year.
I own this in black and am a big fan.

I fully support a fancy-drawstring-shorts purchase.
No one will be able to guess you didn't spend $150 on this.
I'll never tire of this bag shape.
Dress it up or dress it down.
Oversize button-downs are both a basic and a trend.
One and done.
I could see myself wearing these a lot.
The square neck and longer sleeves make this so chic.
This has a hint of stretch for comfort.
I'm here for these perfect classic jeans.
Meet your new favorite summer pants.
You'll never run out of things to wear this staple with.
Don't worry. I'm not ditching sweatshorts anytime soon.
