Don’t get me wrong, I love the great outdoors—especially in the summertime. But with this year bringing heat wave after heat wave, I’ve been searching for activities that will keep me out of the sun, at least for the time being. Naturally, as a fashion and beauty writer, online shopping has been one way I’ve occupied myself during my self-mandated sun hiatus. And lucky for me, Amazon’s impressive Fourth of July sale has endless deals to peruse, including designer bags, breezy dresses, and sporty sneakers, starting at just $10.
While it’s my job to scour Amazon for the best sales, I was still shocked to see just how many pages of incredible fashion deals the retailer has to comb through this holiday week. Just in time for the Fourth of July, I’m eyeing this flattering one-piece swimsuit for half-off its original price and these designer sunglasses for less than $45. For my beach vacation in August, I’m stocking up on packable finds, like these airy palazzo pants and harem overalls that are perfect for throwing on over a bikini. Keep scrolling for more fashion deals, including marked-down jewelry, purses, and shoes, starting at just $10.
In the warmer months, I’m reaching for anything that’s gauzy and lightweight enough to withstand the heat. But just because I want to stay cool, doesn’t mean I have to sacrifice style. Amazon has tons of fashionable picks that are warm-weather-friendly, like this airy smocked maxi dress for $48 and this moisture-wicking tennis dress for $38. From beach cover ups to shirt dresses, find discounted versions of all your summer clothing necessities, below.
The best-selling overalls that one shopper called “incredibly flattering” and “soft and breathable” are on sale for just $26. For a put-together summer look that requires minimal effort, style them with a pair of wedges and a crochet bag.
Breezy, lightweight, and relaxed, these linen pants are practically begging to be worn somewhere sandy. Plus, they’re on sale for 60 percent off, so there’s never been a better time to buy the pants one customer called “so soft” and “perfect for the beach.”
Need a new shoulder bag for your next wedding guest look? Or a new roomy tote to take to work every day? Whatever bag you’re in the market for, Amazon not only has endless options, but most importantly, endless options on sale. Check out this Keyli leather crossbody and Montana West Crescent Purse for more elevated picks, or this Westbronco nylon mini and corduroy tote ideal for daily wear. With deals starting at just $10, Amazon just became my new go-to site for bag shopping.
After I pulled the trigger on getting a nylon crossbody, I wondered how I ever survived travel without one. This option from Westbronco is made of durable and waterproof material, it’s designed with adjustable straps and zippered compartments to keep all your belongings organized. Take it to the airport, a concert, or wherever your summer adventures lead you, all while knowing your valuables are safely tucked away.
Is there anything more practical than an oversized tote bag? Perfect for throwing sunglasses, a laptop, or snack into, this $56 woven tote will not only hold everything you could possibly need, but will also add some fun texture to your ‘fit.
Sneakers, flip flops, sandals, oh my! While I pretty much live in chunky boots for six months straight in the winter, summer is the time I actually get to have fun with my footwear. Given that all my pairs from last summer have been worn to the bone, it’s the perfect time for a shoe closet refresh. For the gym, I’m eyeing these running shoes from New Balance, a brand I know I can always rely on for comfort. I’ve also been seeing every cool girl I know sport kitten heels these days, so these slingbacks, currently on sale for just $43, are also getting added to my cart. Keep scrolling for even more discounted shoe finds, starting at just $16.
With all the fanfare over ballet flats, I’ve forgotten how much I adore a classic wedge sandal. I love that this pair has an ankle strap for support, comes in several neutral colors for easy styling, and — the best part — is on sale for just $32.
Behold, the flat sandals that are so good I stole them from my mom (and never gave back). These leather slides come in six colors, have cushioned in-soles, and have been called “incredibly comfortable” by customers.
Given the steep price tags, designer fashion is typically never part of my shopping hauls. Amazon’s vast collection of majorly discounted products, however, has made me realize that you don’t always have to break the bank in order to buy quality goods. As part of its Fourth of July sale, the retailer slashed prices on tons of luxe pieces, like these Michael Kors hoops for $34 and this Cole Haan belt for $60. Check more designer accessories starting at just $20, below.
I typically think of Frye for its amazing boots, but this wallet is reminding me not to ignore the brand’s other quality leather products. The 100 percent leather wallet features a foldover design with credit card slots, slip pockets, and a zippered compartment.
While I love funky sunglasses, I know I can never go wrong with classic ones like this Tory Burch rectangular pair that’ll go with any outfit. Given that the sunglasses are currently 63 percent off, it’s never been a better time to treat yourself to some designer shades.
