Products you buy through our links may earn us a commission. Oh, and if something's out of stock, oops, it was there (and all prices were accurate) at time of publication.

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.

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.

Niction

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)

Sunglasses, Scarves, Gloves, and Socks

Wendyfull Winter Scarf for Women Big Chunky Scarf Solid Warm Soft Oversized Thick Blanket Scarves Shawl Cashmere Feel (Green)
Wendyfull

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)

Thorlos Unisex WX Walking Thick Padded Crew Sock, Black, Medium
Thorlo

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)

Hue Women's Mini Crew Sock 6-Pack, White, One Size
HUE

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)

sunglasses
SOJOS

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)
