8 Writer-Loved Fashion Finds of 2025 Up to 70% Off at Amazon

We’re just past the halfway point of the year, and as someone who shops for a living, it’s the time when I reflect on what I’ve bought thus far. Since fashion is one of my favorite categories to shop, I decided to start there and rounded up my favorite fashion finds from the past six months. 

As a shopping writer at Real Simple, I’ve already sorted through, tested, and vetted so many items, including these eight pieces from Amazon (that I personally own or that are inspired by styles in my closet) that are worth shopping. That includes Gloria Vanderbilt dark wash jeans, ballet flats from The Drop, and Grace Karin knit cardigans. Many of these items are on sale, too, up to 70 percent off.

Amazon Writer-Loved 2025 Fashion Finds

Anrabess Puff-Sleeve Flowy Maxi Dress

I’ve doubled down on color and comfort in my wardrobe this year, with pieces like this stunning maxi dress that are designed with puffy sleeves, a flowy skirt, and a bold floral print. The dress is the perfect one-and-done piece for nearly any spring or summer occasion, including beach vacations, weddings, and date nights. I like to accessorize mine with a floppy straw hat and woven tote bag, sunglasses and strappy sandals, and a mini clutch with block heels.

Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Classic Tapered Jeans

Dark blue jeans are the “it” pants this year, and I’ve already stocked my closet with styles similar to these Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. The classic pants are made with cotton and elastane, offering plenty of stretch. They come in various colors and a range of sizes, including short, long, tall, and plus. Not to mention, the jeans are 70 percent off right now. 

The Drop Pepper Ballet Flats

If there’s one fashion piece that I’ll always identify with 2025, it’s mesh ballet flats. I’m obsessed with the simple yet elegant trend, and I’m hoping it doesn’t go anywhere anytime soon. These see-through flats from the Drop are a personal favorite because they go with practically everything. I pair my flats with a dress for date nights, or wear them with a button-down blouse and trousers to the office.
