37 Brand-Name Fashion Items You Can Get on Amazon’s Try before You Buy

As someone who has a little bit of a shopping problem, I spend far too much time searching high and low for new clothes. What can I say? I just enjoy finding new pieces that I can style. And one of the first places that I turn to when I go shopping is Amazon. You can find everything under the sun—from tops to skirts to shoes to jewelry. Unfortunately, I am not made of money, so I can’t just buy everything that I find. It’s also unfortunate that shopping online means not being able to try things on in the dressing room. Luckily, Amazon came out with try-before-you-buy for Prime members. You can now get clothes shipped to your home for free to try them on before you pull the trigger. And there are so many options. So, if you’re ready to get some shopping done but you want to try the pieces on first, consider these 37 pieces.

Reviews say, “I wanted the Free People version of this top for so long but couldn’t bring myself to spend the money on it.

This was exactly it — stretchy in all the right places and very flattering in the chest and booty! I got multiple compliments and many people thinking it must have been an expensive suit.”

Did You Know That Amazon Sells Levi’s?

Reviews say, “These shorts fit so well and are the cutest denim shorts I have ever owned. Leave it to Levi’s to make quality clothes. Not too tight, a little bit of room to give a bit of a mom shorts vibe, but not baggy at all. These really make my butt look good. They are the perfect length! Not too short! I was worried they would be. Short enough to be sexy but your cheeks won’t be hanging out of these.”

Definitely glad I purchased.”

As if just the photos of this dress didn’t sell me, so did all of the reviews!

  via Amazon  

“These sandals are so great! I rarely write reviews but I’m truly impressed by how comfortable and stylish these are. The material is buttery soft.

These Boots Have a Perfect 5-Star Rating

It has a very feminine pattern that was flattering for my pale skin (which is not an easy find!) I liked the cut and thought that it was a great way to accentuate my neckline/collarbone. The fabric was very comfortable and breathable. I wore a nude strapless bra which worked really well. It was nice that I could wear a normal strapless bra without having to wear any weird tape or specialty bra to avoid having it show. The dress was also a great length for me as well.”

I was afraid that they were going to be hard on the bottom, because, this was the first time buying shoes online. but no, they are super comfy. They are just perfect. I have used them for more than 2 years. I bought this for my 30th birthday and they have been so good. I will surely come back when mine break, but since they are so good, I don’t know when will this happen. I 100% recommend them. I wear them with pants and skirts and dresses and they look good with everything.”
