If you’re trying to build a well-rounded closet without going over budget, knowing where to find these value-laden bargains is instrumental. For example, there are thousands of impossibly chic fashion pieces on Amazon that are shockingly affordable — although you’d never guess it based on their quality.

While the clothes, shoes, and accessories featured here range from soft, simple basics to fun, fabulous party dresses, there are some things they all have in common.
