8 Editor-Loved Fashion Finds Inspired by Expensive Mall Brands

Nothing sparks a conversation like a “thanks, it’s from Amazon!” in response to someone complimenting my outfit. When most people think of the massive retailer, their mind immediately goes to travel essentials or their regular beauty re-ups, but a bit of  digging will reveal fashion finds comparable to some of your favorite mall brands. In fact, I’m quite guilty of waiting until the last minute to order a good maxi dress or a two-piece set on Amazon because I know I can skip the stress of a mall trip or paying for express shipping on my go-to online shops. 

Thankfully, there’s no need to procrastinate on your shopping list, especially while there are so many good deals available at Amazon. I curated a list of breezy, effortlessly cool closet staples that could easily be mistaken for your favorite high-end brands for a fraction of the cost. It’s the perfect time to pull the trigger on those expensive-looking pair of barrel-leg jeans or a flirty satin dress.

8 Editor-Loved Fashion Deals

Belle Poque A-Line Flowy Midi Dress

One of the best parts of shopping eclectic mall brands is the fun, bold patterns that you can find in-store. Amazon has just as many—like this gingham dress, which is bound to garner a compliment or two thanks to the square neckline and summer-perfect print. There’s a ton of other colors and fabrics to choose, too, including a flowy black dress or a statement-making limoncello look.

Evaless Barrel Jeans

Ready to get in on one of the most divisive trends of the year without breaking the bank? Snag these on-sale barrel-leg jeans . Not only does this leg-elongating style come in a variety of washes, but the pockets are large enough to fit all of your necessities. Shoppers rave about the quality and fit for the price. Plus, these will look great in the office and at post-work happy hour.

Pleated Shirt Maxi Dress

Breezy fashion is every editor’s secret to keeping moderately cool during the warmer months. This cotton blend dress has a relaxed skirt and voluminous short sleeves so air can flow to all of the right places, while its cinched waist elevates the look. The red and white stripe color is especially eye-catching and would look great with ballet flats or sandal heels. 

Gold Plated Heart Statement Earrings

I’m personally eye-ing these heart-shaped drop earrings. Gold jewelry always pairs well with tan, bronzed skin and the chunky, ridged look will polish off any outfit. After all, no look is complete without a good accessory. 

Cushionaire Belinda Lace Detail Sneakers

What better way to elevate a classic white sneaker than with the flirty lace trim on these? Not to mention, this Cushionaire find is a shopper favorite for its  plush memory foam padding and lightweight feel for all-day comfort.

Ladyful Denim Overalls

Overalls are one clothing item my favorite mall brands have been getting right lately. And I’m tempted to fully embrace the cool-art-teacher-meets-cottagecore aesthetic with these dungarees. From the army green to the blue denim, it’s a style that can easily be dressed up or down. The horseshoe leg adds a bit of edge to the classic design.

Cushionaire Weston Hand Woven Dressy Ballet Flats

Gone are the days of sacrificing fashion for function, thanks to these rafia-style ballet flats. They marry two of this year’s hottest trends: rafia and mary janes, creating a shoe that will earn you best dressed in the office. They have Cushionaire’s signature padding so that you’re not walking around with blisters or discomfort while sporting them. The style and quality is a steal for the price.

NIA Women’s Zaza Dress

I love everything about this butter yellow satin dress. It’s perfect for summer dressing: flirty, lined, and a striking color. Pair it with a messy updo and heels for your next formal occasion or keep it casual with sneakers. Not to mention, sporting this emerging brand will earn you cool points.
