If you’re someone with a natural eye for style, please know that I’m in awe (and slightly jealous) of you. For the rest of us, sometimes we need a little help. Seasons change, trends can move pretty fast, and unless you’re paying close attention, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by your options and feel behind (ahem). To that end, Bustle has consulted with some expert stylists to help narrow down the most popular fashion on Amazon to the very best pieces to add to your closet. Record scratch — did I just say “popular fashion on Amazon?” Indeed I did. The retailer has everything from recognizable and prestige brands to budget-friendly newcomers. However, like many of their categories, Amazon Fashion is a wide and expansive place to be if you’re not sure what you’re searching for. Thankfully, the experts who shared their recommendations come from all over the US, with a range of experience and backgrounds in fashion and media. So, whether you lean toward more minimalist styles or prefer bold and bright styles, you’ll find pieces here that will work for you. Looking for versatile, practical, and classically cute shoes? Consider these foldable ballet flats. Angel Neal, celebrity stylist and editor-in-chief and creative director for Disrupshion Magazine, says, “These are so necessary for date nights, fashion events, [or] work events. After a long day of wearing heels and looking cute, give yourself feet a break during your drive back home.” Neal says, “A white all-purpose button up that you can dress up or down. A go-to key item for any women’s wardrobe.” You can tuck it into slacks for a polished, work-friendly outfit, knot it over shorts or a skirt for a casual coffee run, or keep it loose with leggings for a fresh yet casual vibe. “A statement earring” is another of Neal’s must-haves. These pressed flower teardrop earrings can zhuzh up an otherwise casual outfit (like with the above white button-up), or be the perfect detail to top off your formal wear for a more dressy occasion. They feature real flowers grown in Mexico and preserved in resin, so not only are they pretty, but the flowers are well-protected, too. Kimberly Mayhew, managing director of personal style consultants House of Colour, tells Bustle, “This year’s color trends carry a feeling of warmth and excitement. Expect nothing less with the vibrant colors dominating upcoming spring and summer fashion including bold greens, reds, and periwinkle.” Case in point are these adorable high-waisted pants with an included bow belt; they’re perfect for work and play. Some of the styles feature ankle ties, too, and they’re even available in more cost-efficient sets of two and three. If you like to wear your bold and bright colors in dress form, then this casual t-shirt dress in periwinkle may strike your fancy. The ruching and tulip-style skirt give it a more fitted silhouette than similar styles, and you’ll feel just as great slipping it on with sandals for a perfect swimsuit cover-up, or adding leggings and a cardigan for a snazzy spring or fall ensemble. What’s better than a light and airy t-shirt dress you can wear all day? A light and airy t-shirt dress you can wear all day with pockets. Another great choice if you opt to follow Mayhew’s advice to wear bright and bold colors, this short-sleeved and swingy dress will be a new fav. One buyer called it, “Fabulous and fashionable – this has got to be the best dress on the planet!” According to Mayhew, “On the other end of the spectrum, minimalistic but luxury clothing pieces such as monochromatic co-ords or knits are expected to thrive in spring and summer.” If you’re a capsule wardrobe aficionado (or if you aspire to be), you may want to take note. Mayhew likes to implement this trend “into the wardrobe of any client who hesitates to embrace vibrant colors or as an easy way to implement timeless staple pieces.” This best-selling long jumpsuit is a great example of a chic yet relaxed monochromatic style you’ll find yourself reaching for constantly. If jumpsuits aren’t your jam, a two-piece shorts and tee set in a monochrome style is another way to be on-trend while on-the-go. You can opt for a set with a contrasting or matching belt, or one of the patterned styles if you want to make more of a splash. In addition to the bike shorts and tee, you’ll find sets with relaxed-fit shorts and cropped hoodies, and leggings with cropped jackets, too. “Platform shoes have continued to see an increase in popularity the past few years and remained hot on the runway,” Mayhew tells Bustle. “This trend can add length and height, especially for a nighttime look, for applicable clients.” Case in point are these popular platform espadrille sandals which, according to buyers, are comfy enough to wear all day. Among the dozens of colors and patterns, you’ll find a variety of animal prints and solids, plus different strap styles, too. If you like your platforms to be a bit more casual, then you’ll want to take a look at these platform sneakers. They come in fun and flashy styles, like rainbow glitter, silver matte, along with classic white and a chic dusty pink. Plus, you’ll find cushioning on the inside that makes them comfy for walking.
