In my time as a fashion editor, I've come to know the few items worth splurging on, and the many that you can shop on a budget. So, when I'm in need of a basics re-vamp, I turn to expensive looking high street or Amazon buys. With the buzz around Amazon Prime Day, which has now finished, I combed the site in search of those tried-and-true wardrobe pillars that I know will see me through the season and beyond—some of which are still discounted.
Having done my due diligence yet again this time around, I have to admit that this year's selection is one of the best I've seen. Spanning Levi 501s, Salomon trainers, classic ballet flats and chic cotton dresses, the variety on offer is enough to update my basics collection from top to bottom.
See my 17-piece edit below.
What Is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is a two-day sale event exclusively for Amazon Prime members. Today is the final day of the sale that includes beauty and fashion buys as well as tech and homeware goods.
When Is Amazon Prime Day?
Historically Amazon Prime Day occurs in July and October, but there are still some sales running today.
How to Access Amazon Prime Day Deals?
All you need to do to shop my edit of the best basics from Amazon Prime Day deals is sign up for an Amazon Prime membership here. It's free for 30 days so you can get all the benefits of the Amazon Prime Day discounts without shelling out a penny (just remember to cancel before the 30 days is up if you don't want to pay the monthly fee going forwards).
