Several years. ago while watching Netflix’s Queer Eye, I learned of the term “hero pieces” from fashion expert Tan France. It’s a concept I’ve adopted into my own wardrobe and shopping habits ever since. Hero pieces are essentially the cherry on top that turn a good outfit into a great one. Maybe it’s an eye-catching jacket, a fabulous statement earring, or a dramatic shoe. They tend to be pieces that get a lot of mileage in your closet for that reason — they’re just so good, you want to wear them all the time.

Finding these hero pieces isn’t always easy, but luckily, Amazon makes the job a little easier. Throughout this list are some of the chicest, trendiest, highest-rated clothing, shoes, and accessories that the online retailer has to offer. And they may just become your new hero piece.

Maybe for you, it’s this chiffon maxi dress, or maybe it’s this wide brim fedora. But no matter what you’re sure to find a piece that works for you. And best of all — they all have great reviews, so you know that other Amazon customers love them too. Keep scrolling to see 45 of the cutest, on-trend pieces that the online retailer has to offer that may just become your new go-to's.
