Amazon actually does have some pretty good accessories that look expensive, but won’t cost a ton. So if you’re looking for trendy options to upgrade your wardrobe, but are highly conscious of your budget, start here. While styles can be hit or miss, we suggest finding one brand with consistent quality and sticking to it. For your awareness, Amazon’s relaxed return policy will be your best friend here; accepting that as a part of the process makes the shopping experience all the easier.
Bags

The Amazon bag that broke the internet…
We featured this major The Row 90s bag dupe in our Skimm Shopping newsletter and Skimm’rs went crazy for it. It’s another fabulous Amazon accessory find that comes in eight colors and has an adjustable strap. Perfect for if you don’t want to spend over $1000 on a spacious going-out bag. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A slouchy suede bag under $100…
This spacious tote gives Bottega Veneta energy at a fraction of the cost. It has a couple of internal pockets to keep your things organized, and it comes with a detachable strap (though we’d argue the single top handle makes it look more expensive). ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A versatile clutch for events…
Who wants to spend a ton of money on a small bag that you’ll only reach for a couple times a year? Not us. This is yet another designer dupe from Amazon, this time perfect for weddings, conferences, and other events. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

An elevated take on a crossbody bag…
This one has two straps, a shoulder one with chain detailing and another to wear across your body. It’s a solid pick for everything from running quick errands to a night out. It comes in four colors, but we’re going for the wine shade. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

The best upgrade from your canvas tote…
If you’re looking for a more dressed-up version of your everyday tote, check out this one. We love that it has extra long handles, so it’ll sit comfortably underneath your arm. It comes with a matching pouch, too. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
Jewelry

A pair of teardrop earrings for less than $15…
Various fine jewelry brands, like Tiffany & Co. and Bottega, are offering statement-making teardrop earrings right now. This similar version from Pavoi comes in a few sizes with colored options, all under $15. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Not your average gold hoops from Amicon…
If your safe space is gold hoops, might we suggest this hammered style? Between their asymmetric shape and matte finish, they’ll add flair to your outfit in a way that isn’t intimidating to style. Bonus points for being under $10 and hypoallergenic. Shop the rest of the brand for more inexpensive jewelry here. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A Cartier watch dupe that’d make a great gift…
Timex’s Cavatina watch is only a little more than $100 and has a thick gold oval profile accented with a slim, crocodile leather strap. The watch is especially perfect for people who have trouble finding watches for small wrists — the calfskin leather doesn’t require taking out links. For more expensive-looking, giftable accessories, click here. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A set of stretchy bracelets…
So many brands make versions of these statement bracelets, but we’re here for this Amazon version. Wear one by itself, or wear the set as a complete stack. It comes in a set of three in a range of sizes and metal colors. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Another statement piece from Pavoi…
As we mentioned earlier, Pavoi is one of those go-to Amazon brands we turn to for high-quality, well-priced accessories. This bubble necklace from the brand would make a great under $20 gift. They can add it to their everyday stack or wear it by itself. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
Sunglasses, Scarves, Gloves, and Socks

An oversized blanket scarf…
During the colder months, it’ll make any basic outfit look all the more stylish, plus it’ll come in handy during chilly travel days (doubling as a blanket). We think the solid versions make them look a little more designer, too. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

The best socks for winter…
Our editor stumbled upon these Thorlo Walking Socks at a pharmacy in New York City last year, and now she can't go a winter without them. They're marketed as walking socks, so they have extra padding throughout the sole (to prevent blisters) and slight compression to keep feet warm and comfortable all day. They're definitely more of a fall/winter sock because of their thickness. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A mini crew sock set from a dependable brand…
Our editors love Hue for everything from socks to tights. You can shop the line at Amazon, including these bestselling, stocking stuffer-friendly Mini Crew Socks. The quarter-length means you can wear them under boots and jeans, or you can have them peek through anytime you’re wearing athleisure. Socks strangely enough are expensive these days, and this set has washed and held up well for their cheap price. A note: The interior is that grippy kind of cotton, which can be a turn-off. Our editors personally like it because it keeps them in place. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

The Amazon sunglasses of all Amazon sunglasses…
If we’re buying sunglasses from Amazon, we’re buying them from SOJOS. They’re the under $20 sunglasses that have survived countless drops and scratch-inducing moments (that end up not producing scratches), plus our editors have always garnered compliments when wearing them. You can pick from what feels like infinite on-trend styles, and many lenses come polarized, too. (Price varies, Amazon)

Some leather, cashmere-lined gloves…
Whether you buy these for yourself or give them as a gift, no one will guess they’re from Amazon. They’re the dupes of this version from Quince we were obsessed with last year, and they’ll arrive in two days or less for Prime Members. If you’re constantly worried about losing small accessories like gloves, but still want something nice that’ll keep your hands warm, stock up on these. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
