    From June 23 through June 26, Amazon will host its annual Prime Day sale, featuring thousands of discounts across major categories. As a style editor with an eye for elevated basics and trending pieces, I’m particularly focused on all the fashion markdowns. Fortunately, the retailer is offering a selection of deals on clothing, shoes, and accessories for those eager to fill their shopping carts.

    After scouring the site, I found that there is truly something for everyone. For the minimalist who prefers pared-down pieces, discover simple summer staples like plain linen dresses and sleek leather sandals. Meanwhile, for all you staunch maximalists out there, you’ll find plenty of statement-making styles ranging from bright red sneakers to bold striped bottoms.

    Ahead, I’ve curated an edit of the best deals to save you some time. All that’s left for you to do is sit back, scroll, and shop your favorites. Plus, not a single item exceeds $125, so you’ll be saving a pretty penny. You're welcome!
