I Just Created 5 Incredibly Chic Summer Outfits From Amazon for Under $190


Now that summer is in full swing, I've been looking to add some fresh and fashion-forward pieces to my wardrobe this season. While I love to splurge on a designer piece now and then, I'm on a much tighter budget this season, which means I'm mostly shopping for affordable pieces that still feel trend-forward and elevated.
There are a few brands I always turn to when I'm looking for stylish finds on a budget, and Amazon is unquestionably one of them, especially when it comes to fashion-forward accessories, shoes, and basics. This week, I jumped into the depths of the Amazon jungle and challenged myself to put together a handful of outfits that feel fresh and effortlessly cool, all for under $200. If you're curious or in the mood for some wallet-friendly new-season pieces, take a look at the outfits I assembled below for inspiration. And FYI, the Amazon Prime Day Sale officially starts on July 8, so I guarantee many of the items you'll find below will be discounted during the four days of deals. More reason to add to cart pronto!
Look 1: $190
Silky lace-trimmed shorts are a massive trend this summer, but you don't have to spend a small fortune to get your hands on a pair. In fact, Amazon has a small selection of chic options like the one I've included here. Style it like the cool fashion girlies: with an oversize tee, jelly shoes, a beachy tote, and a playful seashore-inspired necklace. Such a cool and fashion-forward look.

Look 2: $104
A minimalist black-and-white outfit will look exceptionally chic in the summer heat. Opt for elevated basics such as a black tank top paired with white wide-leg trousers, and then amp up the look with sleek black accessories. A satin black-and-white scarf worn as a belt will give your whole look a trend-forward touch.

Look 3: $146
A white linen minidress is a summer essential. Give it a fashion-forward touch and style with red jelly flip-flops, a long pendant necklace, oval wire sunglasses, and a raffia bag. Very summer 2025.

Look 4: $109
Striped boxer shorts continue to be a favorite among the fashion set this summer. I love the idea of styling them with a classic black bikini, flip-flops, and an oversize linen button-down for a day at the beach or pool. A chic beaded necklace and a raffia bag finish the look perfectly.

Look 5: $167
A white linen vest adds instant polish to a look. It's versatile for everything from meetings to drinks and vacation days. Style it with a linen skirt (or pants), simple strappy sandals, and a raffia bag in a beige color palette for a chic and easy summertime outfit.
