Amazon Prime Day has arrived, bringing with it an array of deals and savings from homeware finds to the very best beauty tools around. As ever, we’ve been working hard to bring you concise edits of the best savings and most expensive-looking styles to save you hours of scrolling. With day one of the Amazon Prime Day two-day sale complete, we noticed one particular dress becoming a clear favourite. It’s understated, elegant and seriously chic for its discounted £28 price tag. Immediately, my stylist’s brain started buzzing with all the ways I plan to wear this throughout the rest of summer, and naturally, I came to share these outfit inspirations with you, our dear readers.
It may surprise you that we fashion editors often turn to Amazon for more than just a beauty restock. With the likes of The Drop as well as a plethora of independent brands on the site, there are plenty of gems to be found, and we’re experts in hunting through the masses to find those stand-out pieces.
Right now, it’s the Grace Karin dress that has all our attention. With a smocked bodice, square neckline and floaty skirt, this is the ideal throw-on style that will instantly bring a polished feel to your day, no matter where you’re headed. The brand has graced us with a seriously good selection of colours and prints, but as I’m a classicist at heart, I’ve taken inspiration from an understated black style that’s ready to be dressed up or down at ease. What you’ll find is that these elegant outfits call for wardrobe heroes and classic staples to create an overall elegant appeal. As there’s plenty of deals to explore today before Amazon Prime Day ends at 23:59 tonight, let’s get straight into it.
Keep scrolling to explore the 3 ways I’d style this Amazon Prime Day sale dress.
