7 Huge Trends I Found for Way Cheaper on Amazon
A fashion trend is like a hot summer fling. It's fun for a little while, but it might not last forever and can get complicated if you are not careful about what you invest in. Don’t get me wrong; as a fashion editor, I love to experiment with trends and will occasionally splurge on the good ones. But if I’m being totally honest, spending my hard-earned money on items that might soon expire (like these) really, well, sucks.
Luckily, the capital of online shopping, Amazon, has made its way well into the fashion game, but the site isn’t entirely easy to navigate. Like Netflix and dating apps, sometimes there are too many options, and you don’t know where to begin or what to commit to. To make it easier, I combed through the site and found this season’s hottest trends at prices that won’t break your bank (or your heart). So just like a summer fling, you can keep it casual on Amazon or choose to splurge wisely on items that are more near and dear to you. Scroll below to shop seven trends at every price point.
Trend: Shell Jewelry
Remember those macramé hemp friendship bracelets from when you were 12? They're back and totally high-fashion—just add shells.

Tourist-chic is hot and happening. We are excited to finally have a fashion-forward hat that won't get ruined when we pack it for all of our summer travels.

This bright color and bold pattern is impossible to miss and my favorite summer trend. Any excuse to wear a baggy tee or hoodie, am I right?
