I used to think that there were some clothes that were just not for me. But with a little digging and a lot of determination, I discovered the truth: There are actually lots of cheap things on Amazon that look good on everyone. Seriously. Some genius designers found a way to create jeans that everyone loves to wear and an oversized sweater that actually looks all cute and slouchy like it does on the model. On everyone. That’s quite the feat, and let’s be honest, you can’t say that about most clothing out there. If it looks good on you, it’s made for you. The rest of us? We’re out of luck.

So where are all these hidden gems? It takes some time and research to find them, and you always want to scroll through the reviews to make sure you get the real scoop on how an item fits. You know that if someone’s leaving a review, they really love something or they loathe it, and either way, that’s essential information to keep in your back pocket while you shop.

If you aren’t sure where to start looking, I’ve got you covered. Check out these 45 super affordable things that anyone and everyone can wear.
