I’ve worked from home since 2015. Needless to say, I’ve amassed quite a collection of leggings and loose, comfy T-shirts. That’s why, when I do actually leave my house, it’s always in an outfit that helps me look my best — yes, even if I’m just running errands. Still, I’m not willing to sacrifice my entire bank account balance in the process. Cue the best stylish clothes on Amazon that are surprisingly affordable.

If I had to guess, I’d say that 85% of my wardrobe comes from Amazon, and it’s for three reasons: The selection is huge, the prices are extremely reasonable, and the styles are both versatile and chic. (And just in case things don’t work out, returns are ridiculously easy, too.) You don’t have to take my word for it, though; most of these Amazon pieces have hundreds if not thousands of five-star ratings because other customers are just as thrilled. Best of all, all of them are under $45.

1This Cropped Tank You Can Wear In So Many Ways

This cropped tank top opens up a world of possibilities when styling your outfits. Pair it with jeans or shorts when going casual, and skirts and linen pants when you need something a little more elevated. You can even layer it underneath a blazer for professional environments. Since it’s made from a stretchy cotton blend and comes in dozens of solid color options, it’s both comfortable and easy to match.

2A Breezy 2-Piece Set Made From 100% Cotton

Made from cotton but designed to look like breezy linen, this two-piece set comes with a button-down and shorts in your choice of nine colors. It’s comfortable enough “to sleep in,” according to one reviewer, but it’s still stylish, elevated, and versatile enough for everything from travel to a dinner out — especially since the top can be tucked, tied, or left open. The drawstring shorts also have roomy pockets to stash your stuff.

  • Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
  • Available styles: 9

3These Linen-Blend Drawstring Shorts That Are Comfy & Lightweight

“Perfect summer find. I absolutely love these shorts,” one reviewer wrote. Another raved, “These shorts are super comfortable and lightweight.

Get them with folded hems for a more elevated look or with frayed hems for casual outfits.

  • Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
  • Available styles: 37

4This Midi Skirt In Tons Of Colors & Patterns That Looks Much More Expensive Than It Is

You’ve probably seen similar (pricier) skirts on social media, but according to reviewers, this midi slip skirt is better, even though it’s much less expensive: “I have seen many more expensive skirts and they are not anywhere near as nice as this one,” one reviewer wrote. Its elastic waistband allows for comfort, a custom-like fit, and a pull-on design without any zippers or clasps, while its rayon-spandex material is versatile and breathable.

  • Available sizes: X-Small — 6X
  • Available styles: 15

5This Flowy, Textured Dress That’s As Comfortable As It Is Chic

Its fluttery sleeves, ruffled hem, and raised pom-pom texture make this smocked mini dress one of the most stylish outfits in your wardrobe. That said, its polyester fabric is lightweight and its elastic bodice is stretchy, so it’s as comfortable as it is chic, according to buyers. Reviewers have worn it to graduations, maternity shoots, and baby showers — but you could just as easily pair it with sneakers or flip-flops for more casual occasions.

  • Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
  • Available styles: 17

6A Tie-Waist Shirt Dress You Can Dress Up Or Down

  • Available sizes: Smal — X-Large
  • Available styles: 20

7This Flowy Piece That “Drapes Beautifully”

Wear this lightweight cover-up as a breathable layer in warmer weather or for a day lounging by the water. It comes in dozens of colors and patterns, but all of them are made from 100% viscose to create a silk-like texture that “drapes beautifully,” according to one reviewer. It only comes in one size, but judging by its overall 4.5-star rating from more than 8,500 reviews, it’s roomy and versatile enough to fit most people.

  • Available styles: 47

8A Halter In More Than 100 Prints That’ll Get You Plenty Of Compliments

Available in over 100 different prints, this halter top looks so much more elevated than a standard tank top — but it’s just as easy to style. Pair it with shorts, jeans, or a skirt (tucked in or let loose), and you’ll get “compliments the whole day,” according to one reviewer. Still, since it’s made from 100% polyester, it’s surprisingly affordable and easy to care for.

  • Available sizes: Small — 4X-Large Plus
  • Available styles: 100+

9This Long-Sleeve Mini Dress You Can Style For Any Weather

Instead of spaghetti straps and a low-cut chest, this long-sleeve mini dress features puff sleeves and a high adjustable neckline.

It’s also easy to layer for cold weather, granted you can pair it with leggings, boots, and a jacket.

  • Available sizes: Small — X-Large
  • Available styles: 18

10This 1-Piece Swimsuit That’s Reviewers’ “New Favorite Swimsuit”

Its halter top turns into two long straps that you can crisscross and wrap around your waist for a fully adjustable fit. Despite its deep V-neck, the removable pads also offer coverage and support.

  • Available sizes: X-Small — Large
  • Available styles: 11

11An On-Trend Athletic Dress With Built-In Shorts

This athletic dress has all the features it needs to become reviewers’ go-to for pickleball, tennis, or daily adventures.

Finally, its collared V-neck and skater fit are “sporty and chic” at the same time, according to one reviewer.

  • Available styles: 19

12A Crocheted Cover-Up That’s Light & Airy

More than 23,000 reviewers have awarded this bathing suit cover-up an average 4.4-star rating. While its crocheted design looks like cotton, it’s actually made from polyester, so it’s durable and easy to care for.

  • Available sizes: Small — X-Large
  • Available styles: 6

13This Patterned Button-Down That’s Eye-Catching But Polished

According to stylists, button-down shirts are one of the most versatile pieces you could have in your closet.

You can still adjust your neckline with its functional buttons, tuck it or leave it loose thanks to its flowy viscose fabric, and roll the sleeves up as high as you want — but since it comes in tons of unique patterns and bold colors, it’s easy to express your style while looking polished.

  • Available sizes: X-Small — 3X-Large
  • Available styles: 26

14A Linen Scarf That’s Perfect For Warmer Weather

Contrary to popular belief, scarves aren’t just for fall and winter. This lightweight scarf is made from 100% linen, so it’s airy and sweat-wicking for warmer weather. It also measures nearly two feet in width, so you can wear it as a shawl or head wrap to protect your skin from the sun. “Very lightweight and slightly gauzy,” one reviewer wrote. “Perfect with a sundress for that summer wedding or beach getaway.”

  • Available styles: 20

15This Adorable Dress That’s So Easy To Toss On & Go

Gingham is trending — but this spaghetti strap mini dress comes in plenty of other colors and patterns if it isn’t your thing.

  • Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
  • Available styles: 22

16This Roomy Jumpsuit That’s Both Cute & Functional

Thanks to the cotton fabric and loose fit, reviewers wear this overalls jumpsuit while gardening, crafting, doing chores, or lounging around the house.

  • Available sizes: Small — 3X-Large
  • Available styles: 11

17These Pointed-Toe Mules That Are Comfortable Yet Polished

The low heel, rubber sole, and slip-on design make these loafer-style mules comfortable and convenient. That said, due to the pointed toe and 11 polished design options, you could easily get away with wearing them to work, weddings, or fancy restaurants. Opt for the braided design for an elegant beachy look, or grab the cushioned faux leather for a more traditional style.

  • Available sizes: 5 — 11
  • Available styles: 11

18Some Lace Bralettes That Are My Go-To For Comfort

I’ve purchased these padded bralettes in multiple colors because they’re my go-to for sleeping, lounging, and casual wear. Since they’re made from stretchy lace, they’re comfortable enough to sleep in, but stylish enough to wear under sheer or open-back tops. The pads are also removable if you prefer a more minimized effect, plus the packs of five come in a huge selection of color combinations.

  • Available styles: 19

  • Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
  • Available styles: 22

20A Denim Skirt That’s Stretchy, But Structured

Sold in several lengths, washes, and hem options, this denim skirt is made from 90% cotton and 10% polyester. As a result, reviewers say it’s “the most comfortable denim skirt” because it “has stretch” — but they still “like the weight and the quality” of the denim. Unlike tons of other designs, this one actually has five functional pockets.

  • Available sizes: 2 — 14
  • Available styles: 13

21These Best-Selling Tanks For A Great Price

These rib-knit tanks are a number-one best-seller on Amazon.

Made from a blend of nylon and spandex, they’re soft, stretchy, and breathable, so they’re great for working out or sleeping — but their halter-like design is still “super cute” for everyday wear, according to reviewers.

24These Affordable Ballet Flats With Breathable Mesh & Cushioned Soles

One reviewer wrote that these mesh ballet flats are “soft” with “comfortable soles” and “beautiful colors,” so needless to say, they “plan to get them in all colors.” Even though the uppers are made from breathable crocheted fabric and the insoles have memory foam for comfort, the pointed toe and dressy silhouette make them polished enough for work or formal occasions.

I own so many Mangopop bodysuits, I’ve started to lose count.
