I’m a fashion pro – simple Amazon trick to help you find designer dupes for much cheaper and all you need is your phone

A LITTLE-KNOWN Amazon trick can help shoppers find designer items without having to pay designer prices.

Dancing with the Stars performer and TikTok user Linsday Arnold, who goes by lindsarnold on the platform, posted a video explaining her strategy for finding cheap alternatives to name-brand shoes and clothing.

“If you’ve ever wondered how people find Amazon fashion dupes, I’m about to give you the best hack ever,” she said.

To take advantage of this method, you’ll need to shop through the Amazon app on a smartphone.

The app lets you search by images in addition to text by clicking the square icon in the search bar, and you can upload any image in your camera roll and see similar products.

Lindsay screenshotted a pair of $1,045 pumps from the high-end brand Amina Muaddi and used the picture to run an Amazon search.

The app then presented her with tons of similar shoes – except they were $1,000 cheaper.

She settled on a nearly identical $55 pair, while other dupes were listed for $42.

She ran similar searches with other screenshots of expensive shoes and accessories, highlighting the extreme savings she was able to find on duplicate products.

Lindsay also pointed out that you can upload photos of full outfits and toggle between search results for each individual article of clothing.

For instance, she used a screenshot of a model wearing a STAUD top, and she was shown dupes for the top and the model’s jeans.

And while she only used this feature to find dupes of clothes and accessories, you can search by any image on Amazon.

Recipients of Medicaid, SNAP, and other government aid can subscribe for $6.99 per month, and students can sign up for $7.49 monthly.

Regardless, it’s arguably worth the price. One JP Morgan analyst has estimated that Prime offers around $1,000 worth of services to users.

The best perks for Prime members include two-day free shipping on every order, access to exclusive discounts, and free two-hour grocery delivery.

Coupons are available in most of Amazon’s major shopping categories, so you should be able to find savings on nearly everything on your list.

Some of the best deals, particularly on electronics, come from Amazon Renewed.
