I like to think of myself as a trendy person, but it can be hard to justify spending money on something I’ll only wear once. No matter how frequently I revamp the pieces in my closet, I always find myself gravitating toward simple staples. After all, nothing hits harder than a tried-and-true basic I can wear again and again (and again). 

Right now, I’m all about curating the ultimate spring capsule wardrobe. Amazon’s selection can be overwhelming, but I narrowed it down to the 10 pieces I know I’ll get my money’s worth out of—all for under $55. I can’t wait to cozy up in my new Hanes crewneck and wear these Levi’s jean shorts that won’t pinch when paired with my favorite bathing suit on beach vacations. Plus, my favorite Steve Madden platform sandals are 40% off right now. Here are my spring style must-haves. 

• Gokeey Small Huggie Hoop Set: I’m notorious for losing my earrings, so this four-pack is a lifesaver. You can get all your hoops in the same size or mix and match for a little variety. Either way, no one will believe this comes down to just $3 per pair. 
• Steve Madden Slinky30 Wedge Sandals: I’m not kidding when I say these platform sandals got me through the spring and summer last year. Despite their height, I danced in them all night and my feet felt great the next day. At 40% off, now’s the time to snag a pair.  
• Lee Ultra Lux Comfort Bootcut Jeans: Good jeans are hard to find, but this pair is comfy, stretchy, and non-restricting enough to wear all day. And at just $25? Say less. 
• Qualfort Oversized Knit Cardigan: When it’s too warm for a heavy coat but too chilly to go jacket-less, this cardigan will be your go-to layering piece. It comes in 16 colors (yes, 16) and reviewers say it’s perfectly oversized and looks even better in person.
• Automet Short-Sleeve T-Shirt: Baby tees are my go-to, but finding one that isn’t see-through is a challenge. This one has the right amount of stretch without being translucent.
• Anrabess Linen Palazzo Pants: I’ve been on the hunt for loose, comfy pants, and these check every box. The elastic waistband and flowy fit make them ideal for long travel days—whether you’re hustling through the airport or relaxing on the beach.
• Levi’s Women’s 501 Original Shorts: As the weather heats up, I’m retiring my old, worn-out jean shorts, and these are the upgrade I need. They come in over 20 washes and styles, and they’re available in plus sizes 16 to 39, too.
• Anrabess Fit and Flare Flowy Dress: On days I can’t be bothered to choose a top-and-bottom combo, this flowy dress is super easy to throw on. Plus, it’s versatile. Dress it up with statement jewelry and heels or down with flip-flops. 
• Hanes EcoSmart Crewneck Sweatshirt: PSA: Don't sleep on Hanes’ men’s section. I’m obsessed with this oversized crewneck, the most simple piece to throw on whether sleeping, lounging, or running errands.  
• Calvin Klein Modern Cotton Unlined Wireless Bralette: This bra’s so comfy, you’ll forget you’re even wearing it. Reviewers rave that the cotton is super soft on the skin, and the best part? You won’t be dying to fling it off the second you get home.
