16 Amazon fashion finds under $150 that ‘look high end and classy’ — all recommended by a stylist


I was in New York City recently and strolled down the forever fashionable Fifth Avenue. Sadly, I limited myself to window shopping — as each outfit on display cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.

Haute couture will never be in the cards for this 48-year-old mom of two, but of course, sometimes, I want to switch out my sweats for a more stylish look. Luckily, Julia Pukhalskaia, a fashion stylist and founder of women’s clothing brand Mermaid Way, reassured me that you don’t have to actually break the bank to find spring and summer fashion picks that look like a million bucks. One of her go-tos? Amazon Canada.

From tops and skirts to bodysuits and jewelry, Pukhalskaia gave me the rundown of 16 Amazon fashion buys for spring and summer 2025 are at the top of her list. They’re all affordable (everything is under $150!) and look like they cost way more than they do. Win win!

Pukhalskaia says this jacket has “brilliant structure” and is available in “elevated neutrals like camel and black.” If you are looking for that “polished ‘quiet luxury'” look, she says this is an affordable alternative to designer counterparts that can cost over $300. She says that clients in their 40s, 50s, and 60s have fallen “head over heels” for the high-end alternative. It’s available in XXS to 5X, so regardless of your body type, you can feel comfortable and confident.

If you’re on the hunt for a dress that says “I need to look fantastic but don’t want to try too hard,” Pukhalskaia suggests this wrap dress from PRETTYGARDEN. She calls the frock “pure genius” for concealing a mom pooch, while simultaneously flattering the bust and waist. She also says the “high-low hem elongates the legs” and applauds how the fabric “drapes nicely without clinging.”

This ANRABESS tie-waist maxi dress is another dress Pukhalskaia suggests adding to your collection. She’s a fan of the solid, bright colours which make it look “high-end and classy.” The slim waist with the decorative tie “draws attention to the narrowest area of the body,” for a flattering fit. She loves how the dress “cinches around the tummy area beautifully” and praises how the “flutter sleeves” give the dress a “romantic and feminine” touch.

If you have a fuller bust and are looking for a dress that’s elegant and not too revealing, Pukhalskaia says a square neck is among her “top choices for support and equilibrium.” She often recommends this puff sleeve dress from EXLURA to her clients, calling out its femininity, stretchiness and the fact that the neckline isn’t too low. Plus, it’s under $50 and comes in more than a dozen colours.

Loose-fitting and virtually wrinkle-free, this top provides full coverage for all shapes and sizes. Pukhalskaia suggests pairing it with high-waisted trousers or skirts for that “put together but not fussy” look.

Oh, how I love a high-waisted midi skirt — and Pukhalskaia says this Kate Kasin pleated number is one of her favourites, too. She’s always quick to suggest A-line or pleated midi-skirts as they tend to complement all body types, especially those with a curvier figure. She loves how this one “hits exactly at the right place on the calf” and pairs perfectly with tucked-in or fitted tops. Offered in both bright prints and timeless neutrals, Pukhalskaia says the “structured waistline” is key to the skirt’s “streamlined look.”

In terms of summer sandals, these from CUSHIONAIRE slip-ons should be regarded as an “undeniable style staple,” Pukhalskaia says. Unlike some of the priciest cork-bottom sandals, these slip-ons ring in under $70 — but they’re still comfortable and stylish. Take a cue from fashionistas and pair these with flowy trousers or jeans to “create a super casual and fashion forward outfit.”

Want a skirt with a “luscious feel?” Pukhalskaia says you’ll love this one from The Drop. It drapes without clinging and is “amazingly flattering if you have a voluptuous figure but require that streamlined, smooth shape.” The elastic waistband allows for a comfortable fit, and it pairs perfectly with your favourite fitted tee or upscale tank.

For anyone looking for a cozier, luxe look, Pukhalskaia recommends a lightweight sweater dress like this one from ANRABESS. It is luxe elegance at its finest and “looks straight out of Aritzia.” Pair it with wedges in the summer and switch out for booties in the fall and winter — it’s a year-round pick that rings in at under $100.

This two-piece sweater set is yet another example of Amazon’s elevated leisurewear at its finest. Pukhalskaia says the cozy and flattering sets look way more expensive than its price tag. Heading on a long plane ride overseas? This comfortable outfit will have you looking first class.

If you are on the hunt for an amazing bodysuit, Pukhalskaia says the MANGOPOP square neck short sleeve bodysuit is a great one. These double-lined, smoothing undergarments will hold their shape even after several washes. And for under $30 they rival pieces you would find at much pricier stores.

PAVOI’s stacking rings can easily stand next to pricier pieces, but at a fraction of the cost. Plus, she loves their smooth finish “that gives an illusion of high-class.”

Pukhalskaia says this quilted crossbody tote is a “rich-looking item that is very trendy right now” adding that with the right outfit, these bags can totally shift the whole vibe of a look. The cute carryall comes in 11 colours.

“Surprisingly, Amazon is also a very good source for elevated loungewear,” Pukhalskaia says, adding that one of her favourite pieces is this cable knit sweater dress. You can dress it up with a fun belt for a lunch, or embrace its cozy comfort hanging around the house or cottage on chilly evenings.

This AUTOMET oversized hoodie could easily be mistaken for one that costs close to $100. The only difference? The much lower price.

According to Pukhalskaia, JW Pei’s line of Gabbi bags is a dead ringer for high-end designers. The beautifully-made vegan leather purse is less than $125, making it much more affordable than its $3,000 luxury counterpart.
