Hello! This week I will be sharing my review of both the Amazon Essentials line and Prime Wardrobe! The Amazon Essentials line is Amazon’s own clothing line. It is full of great basics for women and men at affordable prices! I also tried Prime Wardrobe for the first time when purchasing these items.
The purchases I made from the Amazon Essentials line included two basic v-necks, a pair of jeans, and lightweight sweater. I already had a dark grey open cardigan from this line, as well. I will go into detail about each item below.

Basic v-neck tees
These t-shirts come in a two pack, and there are 27 varieties of color combinations to choose from. They are made from 56% cotton, 38% modal, and 6% spandex, which makes them soft and stretchy. They are a looser fit, and hit at the perfect length. These shirts make for a great basic, because they are comfortable and affordable! You get two shirts for $16. They make for a great casual look on their own, but are also great for layering. I ordered the light pink and light heather grey combo.
Lightweight Open Front Cardigan
These style cardigans are great in the fall and winter, and can also be worn in the warmer months with shorts! I own this sweater in charcoal heather, but it comes in five other neutral colors. The cardigan looks a lot longer in the photo on Amazon, but hits me mid thigh. For reference, I am 5’6. My only other complaint is that the sleeves were a tad short. Other than that, the material is soft and breathable, making for a nice everyday sweater! The cost of this cardigan is $25.
Straight Fit Jeans
The Amazon Essentials jeans have very mixed reviews. They come in three styles; skinny, straight leg, and bootcut. I ordered the straight leg style, because I own a ton of skinny jeans. Needless to say, I give these jeans a major thumbs down. I did not like the wash, the color was very dark. The fit of these were really terrible. I ordered my normal size 4, and they were really tight in the waist band. Many of the reviews mentioned sizing issues. Personally, I would not purchase any Amazon Essentials jeans again. They cost $25, you can find way better jeans for less than this, elsewhere.
Lightweight Tunic Sweater
Finally, this scoop neck sweater was a winner!! I really loved everything about it. The length is perfect, and the fit was very flattering. The fabric was very soft and lightweight. The sleeve length was also really great! This will be a great sweater for spring, and it comes in 13 colors total. I purchased the burgundy color. For $20, this is the perfect basic sweater!
Prime Wardrobe
Amazon Prime Wardrobe allows customers to try clothing, shoes, and accessories for free for seven days. The seven days start the day your package arrives. In order to take advantage of Prime Wardrobe, you have to have at least three items shipped. Also, two day Prime shipping does not apply to Prime Wardrobe. I found this to be odd, since they are advertising it as a Prime feature. I also have mixed feelings about having to order three items minimum. The good news is, returning the items is very easy. They include a resealable bag, and return label with your order. You just have to choose on the app which items you want to keep and return.
Final Thoughts
The Amazon Essentials line includes some great basics at decent prices. The sizing is a little all over the map. I returned the jeans and do not plan on buying more. I also returned the scoop neck sweater, only because I wanted a lighter color for spring. The v-neck tees were also worth keeping, because they are comfortable and make for great basics. I highly recommend reading customer reviews before buying.
Amazon Prime Wardrobe is a great way to try the Amazon Essentials line, and other clothing for free. It is a nice option if you aren’t sure on sizing, because sometimes it can be hard to determine your size when shopping online. The only downsides being no two day shipping and you have to order at least three items. You will only be charged for the items after your seven days are up. The option to return items is still available after the seven days, too. Overall, the experience was easy and convenient!
