As a shopping editor (and an August Leo), I spend nine months of the year waiting impatiently for the return of summer fashion. Even though I live in New York where the warm weather is fleeting, I firmly believe you can never have too many sundresses, swimsuits, and strappy sandals. Of course, that kind of logic gets expensive fast, which is where Amazon comes in. The mega-retailer’s fashion storefront is stocked with adorable summer styles at super affordable prices—especially while Memorial Day sales are in full swing.
Since Amazon can be overwhelming to navigate, I took it upon myself to round up the cutest summer fashion picks, from breezy dresses and flattering swimsuits to versatile tops and comfy shorts. The best part? Every piece is on sale for $40 or less right now.

A flowy midi dress like the Zescia Summer Bohemian Floral Wrap Dress, currently on sale at 38% off, is a warm weather essential. With its dainty blue floral print, cinching wrap waist, and ruffle hem, this dress is sure to become the star of your summer wardrobe. Speaking of ruffles, you can’t go wrong with a floaty cottagecore blouse (a can’t-miss deal at 35% off) or a tiered maxi skirt. Both of these pieces exude effortless style and comfort. To round out these colorful, beachy pieces, I found a statement-making neon green bikini for just $29. “This is by far the most flattering and comfortable bikini I own,” wrote one satisfied customer. “This is also great quality and hands down worth the price.”
