23 Fashion Basics I Always Stock Up on During Prime Day
The day all of us Amazon shoppers patiently wait for every year has finally arrived. Prime Day is Amazon's biggest sale of the year, with tons of markdowns on everything from cute dresses to performance leggings.
While it's tempting to hit up the electronics section or score some stylish home décor finds, this year, I'm laser-focused on buying the best fashion basics I can find—the simpler, the better. I'm only buying pieces I know I can get a ton of mileage out of, including white tank tops, denim shorts, knit dresses, cozy cardigans, and more. Keep scrolling to shop the 23 Amazon Prime Day items in my cart now.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
