I have a confession to make: I haven't stepped foot in an actual clothing store in more than two years. That, however, does not mean I haven't been shopping — quite the contrary, actually. My closet is filled with stylish pieces that fit really nicely, but I never had to leave the house (or spend too much of my paycheck) in order to get them.

While I was once the type of person who absolutely needed to try something on, Amazon has entirely changed that. Their wide selection means I can always find clothing I love. Their reviewer feedback system means I can use real people's advice to inform my purchases, and their convenient return policy means that, should something not work out, it's extremely easy to right that wrong.

But my favorite clothing category on there? Incredibly cute fashion basics that have gone viral and are still affordable. They keep my wardrobe up-to-date and versatile while also keeping my budget low. Not a single one of these pieces costs more than $40 (and a few are even on sale!) so you might just end up picking up a few.

01
This Bodysuit That Doesn't Ride Up

It pairs so well with jeans, slacks, and skirts, but that's not the only reason it's a number-one best-seller: Thanks to its bodysuit design, it won't ride up, untuck, or fall down. The MANGOPOP bodysuit also comes in a huge selection of colors and patterns, all with a stylish mock turtleneck and made from soft, stretchy modal fabric.
