4 Editors Put Amazon's The Drop Collection to the Test

Amazon The Drop Cutout Tiered Maxi Dress ($60)

"I've been looking for a way into the cutout trend that doesn't feel too revealing or over-the-top. This maxi dress is the perfect balance of a skin-baring trend with a more demure hemline. The puff-sleeves feel very romantic and sophisticated, and I love that the silhouette skims your figure without clinging. The very best part of the dress though, by far, is that it comes with pockets — a functional design detail that every dress should feature in my humble opinion."

Amazon The Drop One-Shoulder Cutout Tiered Midi Dress ($70). Amazon The Drop Maldives Sun Hat ($30).

"Though summer is coming to an end, I'm not giving up on warm-weather days — that's what vacations are for! This bright orange dress is the perfect packable piece for my travel wardrobe. It's versatile enough to wear with flats for a day of sightseeing, then add a pair of heels for a romantic dinner. I styled it with the Maldives Sun hat which is chic and functional for days spent lounging in the sun."

Amazon The Drop Iona Long-Sleeve Hooded Mini Sweatshirt Dress ($40)

"For a long time, I wanted a sweatshirt dress for a flirty and fun — but still comfy — fall fashion moment. This version of the sweatshirt dress is pretty much perfect. I am someone who tends to run hot, and this dress is made of something lighter than a typical sweatshirt material, so I wasn't overheating in it. It's the perfect casual look and would be really great for attending any fall sports events (and comes in lots of colors to match your team of choice). For early fall, it's perfect with bare legs, but for later in the season, it'll look great with leggings layered underneath." — Victoria Edel, staff writer, Movies & TV

Amazon The Drop Bernadette Pull-On Loose-Fit Cropped Sweater Pant ($45)

"I've really wanted a pair of sweater pants, so I was excited to try these out, and they haven't disappointed. They're soft enough for loungewear but structured enough that I definitely will be wearing them out of the house, too. As soon as the temperature drops outside, I foresee myself wearing these pretty much all the time. I chose black so they could be a true workhorse, but Amazon also had trendier, brighter colors as well.

The one thing that would make these pants truly perfect would be a drawstring waistband, but I foresee them being a closet staple during the colder months of the year." — VE

Amazon The Drop Yasmin Rib Midi Sweater Tank Dress ($50)

"Obviously, I was still in a Barbiecore space when I picked out this color, but how could I not? It's the perfect color for early fall. The sweater material of this feels expensive, perhaps because of the all-over ribbing. I dressed this down with sneakers to meet a friend for lunch, but different shoes and accessories would make this dress appropriate for any occasion. It's definitely something I could wear through the fall and winter.

The one thing I didn't like about it was that every line underneath the dress shows through. As someone who wears slip shorts under all my dresses and skirts, I had to switch to a different pair to make this dress lay nice and smooth." — VE

Amazon The Drop Hudson Square Neck Sweater Corset ($30)

"I love how versatile the Hudson Square Neck Sweater Corset from The Drop is. I can dress it down and casual with a pair of baggy jeans and sneakers while still looking put together, or I can dress it up with a pair of tailored pants and ankle boots and accessorize with gold jewelry. The sweater corset top is a flattering piece that perfectly highlights my neck and chest without looking too revealing. The ribbed sweater material is thick but really soft and flexible. I didn't expect this top to not only suit my body but also look so flattering. It's definitely a chic essential that I'll be wearing all year round. It comes in black, olive green, and white." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, Commerce

Amazon The Drop Kimi Ruffled-Shoulder Smocked Midi Dress ($70)

"The Kimi Ruffled-Shoulder Smocked Midi Dress has been my go-to spring and summer dress, and I'm contemplating bringing it into the fall (even though this specific blue floral pattern doesn't really match the autumn vibe). I love how flattering this dress looks on me. The smocked detailing accentuates my curves in all the right areas without showing too much. Plus, the ruffle sleeves are so cute. The dress is made from quality 100 percent cotton; it's so soft yet breathable. The dress is also double lined, so you won't be able to see anything underneath it. This blue floral pattern just screams summers in the Hamptons or the South of France, but it also comes in plenty of other bright colors and patterns. The fact that this dress also has deep pockets is just the cherry on top!" — AR

Amazon The Drop Dylan Pleated Straight Pant ($55)

"I've been seeing tailored pants styled in such a chic way all over my TikTok feed, and ever since, I was on the hunt for the perfect pair. Because I'm 5'2", most of the ones I've found are a bit too long and drag on the floor (unless I buy in petite sizing). The Dylan Pleated Straight Pant from The Drop fits like a charm. It is pleated at the top for a refined look and feels comfortably loose without losing its structured look. It's a versatile piece that can elevate your outfit. I paired these pants with the sweater corset top from above for a going-out/night-on-the-town look as well as a white bodysuit and a blazer for a more professional look. The Dylan Pleated Straight Pant comes in black, stone, and white.

I wore The Drop Jessi Side-Zip Block Heel Ankle Boot ($70) for both of these looks. These boots have cushioning on the inside that supports your feet with each step you take, alleviating the pressure of being in heels. The pointed toe looks sharp and sophisticated, making any outfit look dressier. It comes in black microsuede, dark brown leather, cognac tan microsuede, brown microsuede, and snakeskin leather." — AR

Amazon The Drop Mickey Loose-Fit One-Shoulder Cutout Rib Knit Maxi Dress ($45)

"I'm a sucker for a comfy maxi dress, which is probably why I fell in love with the Mickey Loose-Fit Maxi Dress at first sight. With outside temperatures still feeling reminiscent of summer (aka very warm!), I'm not quite ready to bid adieu to my summer fashions just yet, and I feel like this olive-colored frock from Amazon is the perfect transitional piece. The style is made from a tencel and elastane material that's soft to the touch and designed to mold to your body shape. I love that the one-sleeve silhouette shows just enough skin to make it interesting but not too much that I couldn't dress it up for a more formal event, if needed.

For a little contrast, I opted for a lighter accessory, The Drop Addison Soft-Volume Top Handle Bag ($40), which is one of the brand's best-rated pieces — and for good reason. The compact purse is super squishy, which means I can fit a ton of items in it. Plus, with micro bags trending for fall, I can even play around with styling one of this season's hottest accessories on a budget." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Commerce

Amazon The Drop Jack Vegan Leather Straight Leg ($60)

"Leather pants feel synonymous with fall at this point, and I've had this particular style on my radar for quite some time. Crafted from a vegan-leather material, these pants boast the same sleek appeal of a classic leather style but through a much more breathable design that elongates the look of legs without constricting them. I opted to try them in the coffee bean shade but am already considering buying them in some of the line's other color variations — like burgundy or camel." — KW
