I Spent $400 on Amazon Clothes Here’s What I’d Actually Buy Again
Let’s just say… this wasn’t my most budget-friendly Amazon haul. I spent over $400 trying everything from summer rompers to lounge sets. Some things were hits. Some? I’ll probably be returning.
Now before we jump in—let me say this,I’m not an advocate for overconsumption. I do seasonal shopping, meaning I’ll build out a cart over time, and when the season actually shifts, I’ll go ahead and purchase what I need. I shop intentionally. Always.
Also—it’s literally my job here on AutumLove.com to test and vet products so that you don’t have to waste your hard-earned money. I try things, I wear them, I photograph them, and I’ll tell you what’s worth it and what’s absolutely not.
And let’s address the elephant in the room: Amazon’s product images rarely show curvy or midsize women wearing the clothes we’re all curious about. That makes it hard to know what’s actually going to work for real bodies—and it leaves a lot of us guessing. If you’ve ever bought something only to return it a few days later, you’re not alone.
So I’m here to take the guesswork out of it.
Every item I review in this post was purchased with my own money. I followed my usual method before buying—which I’ll quickly break down for you.
First: I analyze my lifestyle. It’s May, which means summer break is around the corner. My kids will be home, and that means mornings at the park, trips to the ice cream shop, beach days, and theme parks. I needed pieces that are functional, breathable, and easy to move in.
Second: I don’t believe in the phrase “beauty is pain”—especially not when it comes to clothes. If a pair of shorts makes it hard to sit, it’s a no. If it itches or clings in weird places, I’m not wearing it. Comfort is a priority, and the material has to feel good on my skin.
Third: I want items that work multiple ways. If I’m getting a dress, it better pair well with sandals and sneakers. A matching set? I should be able to break it up and wear the pieces separately. That’s how I get the most out of every purchase.
So yes—this haul was $400. But it was intentional. And I’m sharing every win, almost-win, and “never again” moment so you can shop smarter.
Every review is honest. Every product was tested. And when you use my affiliate links, it helps me keep doing what I love: creating content that’s real, helpful, and designed to make getting dressed easier.
Now, let’s dive in.
What I’d Repurchase (And Already Love)
What I’d Skip or Just Didn’t Love Enough
This set is cute, but it’s not a “you need this now” type of favorite.
The Cut out is a bit weird but I will wear this on repeat just wouldn’t buy it in multiple colors.
Wouldn’t not buy this matching set again the shirt is too boxy
Knit Short Romper
Size ordered: Large | Color: Black | Fit: Relaxed but adjustable
I ordered this in a size large because, let’s be honest, rompers can be tricky. The shorts are often too tight in the thighs while the top half hangs weird or feels boxy. But this one? It actually gets the balance right.
I’m a size 14 in pants and usually a medium in tops, and this romper fits perfectly. The material is super lightweight—exactly what you want for those “it’s so hot I don’t want anything touching me” kind of summer days. But it’s not sheer or flimsy either. It breathes well and still feels like it holds its shape.
Amazon
Knit One Piece Jumpsuit with Pockets
$46.98
What really sold me, though, is the adjustable waist. You can cinch it to your liking without it digging in or feeling restrictive. And the overall silhouette? Relaxed, easy, effortless.
I’ve worn it with sneakers to the park, sandals for quick errands, and I already have plans to dress it up. Throw on a blazer, add some loafers or low heels, and it easily shifts into “I look like I planned this” territory. It’s one of those rare Amazon finds that I’d 100% order again—especially in more colors.
Side Barrel Jeans
Size ordered: Large | Color: Medium Wash | Fit: Relaxed, wide in the leg with a drawstring waist
These jeans are the definition of comfort-meets-style. They’re slouchy in the best way—not sloppy, but just enough structure to feel intentional. I love that they don’t hug in the thigh or waist. Instead, they drape and give that cool, off-duty feel without sacrificing comfort.
I didn’t feel squeezed or restricted at all, and for someone who usually struggles with jeans digging in when sitting down—these passed the test. I could wear them all day and not rush to change into sweats the second I got home.
Amazon
Baggy Boyfriend Ankle Denim Pants
$39.99
They’re also lighter than traditional denim, which makes them wearable through warmer months. I styled them with a ribbed tank and longline cardigan, and also tried them with a tucked-in tee and slides. Both looked effortless. Also if you are wondering where these sandals are from I purchased them years ago from Shein.
Would I buy them again? Absolutely. I wish more jeans were made like this. They’re versatile, forgiving, and low-maintenance—basically, everything I want in a casual denim day.
Tennis Dress
Size ordered: Large | Color: Black | Fit: Snug, stretchy, and surprisingly supportive
Okay, so this dress had me a little nervous at first. The name alone—Sexyasassii—made me wonder if I was about to receive something that felt more “Instagram thirst trap” than functional. But I was actually surprised in the best way.
Amazon
Tennis Dress with Built in Shorts and Bra
$35.88
It’s super stretchy but still holds everything in, which is hard to find in a dress like this. The built-in shorts are so necessary, especially for a curvy girl with thick thighs. They stayed in place and didn’t ride up every five seconds—which we all know is a win. I also loved that the material had weight to it. Not heavy, but just enough thickness to smooth things out and not feel cheap or see-through.
It’s giving “tennis club but make it hot mom energy.” I wore it with sneakers for a casual look, but I could totally see this working with a belt bag and slides for errands—or even with a denim jacket if you want to dress it up slightly.
Would I buy it again? 100%. In fact, I already want it in another color.
Lounge Set
Size ordered: Large | Color: Khaki | Fit: Super stretchy and flattering
GIRL—LOVE. LOVE. LOVE this set. I’ve already worn it several times since I bought it, which says a lot considering how many things I try and rotate through.
I ordered a large, as I usually do with matching short sets, because the bottoms are almost always cut smaller than the top. This one? The fit is just right. It’s super stretchy, has a nice weight to it, and feels way more expensive than it actually is.
Amazon
2 Piece Sets for Women
$39.99
I’m not 100% sure how it’ll hold up during those super hot summer days—it’s not paper-thin—but right now, it’s completely wearable and comfortable. It gives that elevated lounge look I love, without trying too hard.
Also, I have this same set in white—the full-length version with pants and the same top—and I highly recommend both. Whether you’re working from home, running errands, or just want to look like you made an effort (even if you didn’t), this set gets it right every time.
Wenlia Workout Romper
Size ordered: Large | Fit: Comfy, bold—and a little controversial
Okay, so the moment I stepped out in this, my husband and daughter both stared at me like, “Mom… what is that hole doing in the middle?” And listen, fair question. Because this romper does have a bold cutout right in the center—and it definitely caught everyone off guard.
But honestly? I loved it.
Amazon
Atheletic Running Jumpsuit
$39.99
I’ve worked out in this twice so far and it’s way more comfortable than I expected. It doesn’t ride up, it moves well with my body, and it gives that “I actually tried” look without doing too much. I know the cutout might not be for everyone—and truthfully, I almost didn’t even share this piece. The comments made me feel a little self-conscious for a second.
But here’s the thing: I don’t dress for other people. And when something makes me feel good, I’m going to wear it.
That said… I probably wouldn’t buy it again. It was fun to try, but not a staple I see myself reaching for often. So I’m calling this one a personal win, but not a repurchase.
Maxi Dress (Rose Red)
Size ordered: Medium | Fit: Flowy and flattering—but not for me
Okay, real talk. When I first tried this on, I was mad. Like, why did I buy this mad. But a few days later, I gave it another shot—steamed it, threw on a proper bra, took a quick photo—and suddenly it looked much better. It’s one of those dresses that needs a little prep to really shine.
That said… I wouldn’t buy it again.
Amazon
Spaghetti Strap Swing Dress
$45.99
Don’t get me wrong—it’s a nice dress. It’s lightweight, easy to throw on, and it even has pockets (shout out to Wendy Williams, who lives for a dress with pockets). But the square neckline just isn’t for me. I love a soft scoop-square hybrid, but this one is extremely square—and on my frame, I just didn’t love how it looked.
If you’re into that shape and want a one-and-done summer dress you can style with flats or a sandal, it might be perfect for you. But for me? It was a cute moment, not a forever piece.
Pajama Or Lounge Set
Size ordered: Large | Fit: Oversized top, perfect-fit shorts
This set right here? It’s my go-to. Like, if I could wear it every day and get away with it, I would. It’s that comfortable, that easy, and somehow still looks pulled together.
I ordered a large (because, again, the shorts), and I’m so glad I did. They’re not too short or too tight—they fit just right. And the top? Oversized in the best way. It gives that slouchy, relaxed vibe that feels intentional, not sloppy.
Amazon
Summer Short Sets Loungewear
$36.98
I’ve worn the full set together, but I’ve also styled the top with my barrel jeans and threw on a silk scarf to dress it up a little. It gave effortless coffee shop chic. I’d totally wear this to work at the library, grab lunch, or even do school drop-off.
This is one of those sets that looks like loungewear but feels like a low-key outfit. I already have plans to order it in more colors.
Would I buy it again? No question—yes.
Biker Shorts & Oversized Tee Set
Size ordered: Large | Color: Camel Brown | Fit: Biker shorts—yes. The top? Absolutely not.
I really wanted to like this one, but when I tried it on… I hated it. The pictures online were a little misleading, and once I had it on, it was giving “why is this top swallowing me whole?”
The shirt is long. Like, could-wear-it-as-a-t-shirt-dress long. But not in a cute way—it made me look super wide, and the boxy cut plus the high neckline did me no favors. I looked at myself in the mirror, then looked at the product images again like… did we order the same thing?
Amazon
Biker Shorts & Oversized Tee Set
$36.99
That said, the color is beautiful. This camel brown really pops on my skin tone, and I’ll give it that. Also, the biker shorts? Chef’s kiss. They fit perfectly, give a nice amount of hold without feeling tight, and honestly deserve better than the top they came with.
Would I wear this in public? Probably not. If I change my mind, I’ll update y’all.
Would I buy it again? No.
Would I recommend it? Maybe, if you like a super oversized, boxy fit.
Maxi Skirt Set
Size ordered: Medium | Fit: Mixed—top is a win, skirt is… complicated
This set is cute, but it’s not a “you need this now” type of favorite. It’s one of those pieces that can work—you just have to style it right.
The material has a nice weight to it, which I appreciated. It feels a bit elevated and not paper-thin like some matching sets. That said, the skirt seams are a little confusing (I still don’t get the placement), and I’d recommend shapewear to help smooth things out. Without it, the fit can feel off depending on your body type.
Amazon
2 Piece Maxi Skirt Set
$35.99
The top, though? That’s the standout. It fits great and I’ve already started pairing it with other things—denim, linen pants, even shorts. It’s a piece I’ll keep on rotation all summer. The skirt I’ll probably wear again, but with a different top to tone it down and make the look feel more effortless.
Would I buy this again? No.
Would I recommend it? Yes—with the caveat that you’ll need to put some styling effort in to make it pop.
Glamaker Shorts Set
Size ordered: Large | Fit: True to size | Vibe: Mix-and-match approved
I really like this set. The material is beautiful—lightweight, comfortable, and it has that slightly elevated feel that makes it look more expensive than it is. I recommend it, especially if you’re looking for shorts that give you a bit more coverage. These hit right around mid-thigh, which I appreciate for days when I want something a little more modest.
Now, let me be honest: I probably wouldn’t wear the full set together. Not because it doesn’t match, but because it feels more versatile when broken up. I’d totally pair the top with wide-leg pants or denim, and the shorts would look great with a bodysuit or a tucked-in tank. It’s one of those “good bones” sets—you can style it a bunch of ways and really make it work for your own vibe.
Amazon
Two Piece Short Set
$39.99
Would I buy it again? Yes. It’s a great base piece that gives you options.
So there you have it—$400 later, a few hits, a few misses, and a whole lot of honest reviews. If you’re curvy, midsize, or just tired of playing the guessing game on Amazon, I hope this gave you some clarity. I always say: I spend so you don’t have to. And while not every piece was a win, I definitely found a few that I’ll be wearing on repeat all summer long.
