Being the picky fashion editor that I am, I never used to shop for clothes at Amazon. However, in the last year or so, I’ve noticed that Amazon has started carrying higher-end brands, including some of my longtime favorites like Sam Edelman, ASTR the Label, and Petal and Pup. Still, it can be difficult to tell how clothes will feel or fit when online shopping, so when I was given the opportunity to try on Big Spring Sale markdowns IRL, I jumped at the chance.
I spent two hours testing on-sale spring fashion for every occasion, and to my surprise, there were zero misses. And it wasn’t just the well-known name brands that stood out—I also found tons of budget-friendly styles that looked so expensive. Since I’m not one to gatekeep, I’m sharing everything I tried below. Just be sure to add them to your cart before deals end.

This short-sleeve sweater is an essential layering piece for spring—you can wear it on its own as a tee, or layer it over a button-down like a sweater vest. I was super impressed by the soft, high-quality knit given the affordable price.
ICYMI, cargo pants are having a moment this year—just ask Oprah and Hailey Bieber. Made from recycled materials, this Amazon Essentials pair looks and feels way more expensive than their under-$20 price tag.

I fell in love with the pretty blush pink shade of this Petal and Pup cardigan the moment I laid eyes on it, and the bow detailing was the icing on the cake.
I’ve never tried Levi’s jean shorts before, so I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled on these cut-offs and discovered that they fit perfectly. The number-one best-selling pair of denim shorts at Amazon, they have more than 21,000 five-star ratings.

On sale for less than $20, this buttery-soft ribbed tee is an instant add-to-cart. It’s fitted without being too tight, and it has the versatility of a plain white T-shirt with the polished look of a sweater.
I basically lived in my overalls all winter, so I’ve been looking for a warm weather option to add to my spring wardrobe. Naturally, this Levi’s style did not disappoint. The denim has a lived-in, almost vintage feel and the medium wash is the perfect shade of indigo.

I’m going on a trip to the Dominican Republic next month, and this breezy mini dress is at the top of my packing list. Between the airy fabric and fun print, it’s made for a beach vacation.
Also on my packing list? These comfy wedge sandals. Wedges are back in a big way and this pair is a great way to dip your toes into the throwback trend. They have a manageably low heel height, a padded memory foam insole, and a flexible woven strap.

I’ve never met a matching set I didn’t like, so it’s no surprise that I immediately gravitated towards this darling green linen look. The cropped top has dainty tie straps and a smocked back for a comfortably snug fit.
The matching shorts have the same floral lace cutouts, as well as a flattering high waist that delivers a cinching effect. The pleating adds an extra dose of elegance.
Last but not least, the Sam Edelman Bianka Slingback Pumps might just be my favorite heels I own—I have them in brown suede and white leather. This yellow patent leather pair is next on my list to add a little sunshine to my warm weather wardrobe.
