I scrolled through 10,000 clothing items on Amazon — here are the under-$50 pieces I'm buying
Our fashion editor combed through Amazon and rounded up the best fall fashion to shop for less than $50.
You know how it is — when the seasons change, I can't help but want to give my wardrobe a little makeover! But as much as I love shopping, I'm also trying hard to stick to a budget (especially with the holidays just around the corner). That's why I’m such a fan of hitting up the fashion section on Amazon. The retailer has an awesome selection, from classic basics to trendy pieces, so I can find everything I need for a seasonal refresh, at prices that won't break the bank.
When faced with the challenge of combing through over 10,000 styles to find the best pieces for less than $50, I was all too happy to oblige. I dove in and scrolled for hours — my eyes might have gotten a little cross-eyed, but it was worth it to save you the hassle. After all this oh-so-important research, I put together a list of the very best affordable clothing and accessories on Amazon right now. From flattering trousers to cozy sweaters and a chic suede handbag that will instantly elevate your cold-weather outfits, these are the nine under-$50 finds I can't wait to add to my cart.
This stylish turtleneck and wide-leg pant set looks way more high-end than the price suggests. The gold buttons give it an elevated feel, but the drawstring waistband lets you find a comfy, ready-for-a-cozy-day-at-home fit. It comes in 16 colors, and picking just one is going to be tough. (I might just treat myself to two!)
Other shoppers agree and say they love it so much, they are buying multiples! "This is so flattering and comfortable. The fit is a little loose but still quite flattering. I just ordered another color I love it so much," said one.
You can never go wrong with a classic cardigan, and this longer silhouette is great because you can wear it tucked in too. I love how size-inclusive it is — ranging from XS to 6XL — and that it comes in 26 colors.
"They are the perfect weight to use as a layering piece," this fan said. "I did go up a size to allow for any shrinkage in washing and drying. Going back for another color soon."

How chic is this tan suede shoulder bag? The $26 carryall exudes luxury without the hefty price tag, and it's big enough to hold more than the essentials. Bonus: It comes with a cute faux leather pouch to keep your smaller items organized, so you won’t have to rummage through the bottom of your tote to find them.
One reviewer wrote, "The simple shape is so modern and it comes with a smaller zippered pouch lined with the same material as the bag. Perfect size for day-to-day items and feels well made."

I love that this ribbed turtleneck has a relaxed fit that isn't overly baggy, allowing it to drape beautifully. It features a comfortable cowl neck, long batwing sleeves and a cut that's flattering while still being so snuggly. Made from a super-soft woven blend, it comes in 25 colors.
"Not only is this sweater incredibly comfortable, but it is so soft and cozy. The neck is not restricting, and so comfortable to wear during cold weather. It is very flattering with leggings OR jeans," said one customer.
These Western-inspired booties are as comfortable, versatile and easy to walk in as they are cute, shoppers say. Perfect for fall, they have a rubber outsole that keeps you steady on your feet. Plus, the handy loop on the back makes slipping them on and off a breeze.
"This shoe is the cutest and goes with every outfit! They are very comfortable and easy to walk in," wrote one enthusiastic shopper.
Everyone can use a tailored trouser in their wardrobe, and thousands of shoppers love this stylish, flattering wide-leg pair. The front gives you that classic look with a zipper fly and belt loops, while the back features a comfy, forgiving elastic waistband that makes them feel amazing to wear.
"Perfect pant," is what one owner called them before saying, "I have purchased many pants of this style but returned them all until I found these. The fit is so comfortable and flattering. I always worry [about] how the booty will look with an elastic waistband and no pockets but these are great.
It's tempting to wear comfy joggers or snuggly sweaters all winter, but this cozy sweater dress is a clever compromise for those days when you need to dress up. Not only does the flattering dress have a tie around the waist to accentuate your figure, but this festive red style will look great at any upcoming holiday party.
One five-star reviewer wrote, "Absolutely love this dress. I got this dress for a work Christmas party and it’s very classy looking while being super comfortable as well. The fabric is way better than I was expecting."
These chunky tear-drop earrings are only $12 a pair, but they look so similar to a $1,000 pair from Bottega Veneta. The brass earrings are hypoallergenic, so you don't have to worry about them irritating your ears, and they come in a variety of sizes and colors. Customers rave about how surprisingly lightweight they are despite that bold, substantial look.
One called them "Gorgeous and comfy earrings" before adding, "They are so stylish and lightweight and look fabulous with anything I wear."
The only thing cuter than a flannel shacket is a cropped flannel shacket! It's an Amazon bestseller and comes in 35 colors, so you're sure to find a style (or two) that you adore.
"Soft. Lightweight but warm. Definitely true to size. [The] cropped style is very flattering and comfortable to wear," one satisfied customer said.
