Promising review: “OMG! If jersey bed sheets made a dress, this is it! Soft, comfy, stretchy, cool. Basically if I could live in this dress 24/7/365, I would. Planning on buying more in various colors because…why not?!” —Meg
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and dozens of colors).
2.
A high-waisted skort since it possesses all the comfort and practicality of your fave pair of bike shorts (it even has pockets!) yet all the cuteness of a stylish skirt! Reviewers have worn it for just about any type of event you can imagine: biking, golf, drinks, nail appointments, vacay walking tours…
3.
A gorgeous flowing maxi dress if you want to be the belle of the ball…or the backyard BBQ. Doesn’t matter where you are, all eyes are gonna be on you in this number, which is just more reason to wear it every single chance you get.
Promising review: “I first bought the mint green dress. I had it shortened to tea-length. I love to wear it with matching canvas Top Siders. Then I purchased the yellow dress with three-quarter sleeves. That one I left floor length and I think it looks great with Western style boots and a straw bowler. I live in these dresses. Co comfy and machine washable (line dry).” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and seven prints).
4. A loose and flowy oversized cotton jumpsuit that will have you feeling like you’re dancing at Woodstock and enjoying those chill hippie vibes whenever you wear them (which, of course, will be every day of the week). ☮️ 😌
5.
A three-pack of athletic racerback tanks if you’ve been on the hunt for some soft and breathable workout tops that are actually long enough to cover your belly button — and voilà, here they are!
6.
A ruffly wrap dress so you can flit and flirt about to your heart’s content, especially since the adjustable tie-front design essentially guarantees the *perfect* fit.
Promising review: “I love this dress and always get so many compliments! I lived in it for the summer!” —Amber Annab
Get it from Amazon for $35.98+ (available in sizes S–XL and 27 colors/patterns).
7.
A running short featuring a zippered pocket that many reviewers praise as being nearly identical, or even better according to some, than their Lululemon counterpart. And best of all, these ones don’t require you to drop a ton of cash!
8.
A casual romper about to become the MVP of your summer wardrobe. Why, you ask? Well, it’s unbelievably comfy and on-trend, even if you pair it with nothing but a pair of sandals or sneakers!
Promising review: “I wanted a more baggy casual look and I absolutely suggest that you order a size up if that’s the look you’re going for too. Super comfortable, feels like I’m getting away with wearing pajamas in public while looking incredibly cute. My plan is to live in all colors of these for the whole summer. Paired with heels, sandals, flats… any type of shoe can change the look completely. If you’re worried about the loose fit just use double-sided clothing tape to keep the shoulders and pant cuffs exactly where you want them. One worry I have is how long this fabric will hold up (very thin, very soft, may start to pill) but I’ll update if/when that happens. In the meantime I’ll enjoy looking adorable and feeling cool in the hot weather.” —LT
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and 32 colors).
9.
A stunning ombre maxi dress because it looks like a vibrant painting come to life…so yes, people will likely stop, stare, and contemplate your beauty. 😍 Oh, and it’s also available in a bunch of other colors and patterns, including solids.
Promising review: “I have the solid black, the print black and this one. It’s lovely and soft and a great A-line. The pockets are great, the seams secure, the straps easily adjustable and the length is perfect to the ground for me. it’s easy to dress up OR lie around inside or lounge out back in the Texas heat. I did go up a size because I wanted loose, I am already eyeing a fourth… yeah, I’m LIVING in these!!!” —Trace
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–5X and 39 colors/patterns).
10.
A wire-free seamless T-shirt bra so you can swap the poking and digging for buttery smooth comfort — all while still supporting the gals. Translation: For the first time in your life, you won’t immediately rip off your bra as your burst through the front door! In fact, you might even look forward to wearing this. I’m shook.
Promising review: “This is my absolute favorite bra. It’s so comfortable! Obviously since they are so cheap, they are going to last a lifetime but I still get a good wear out of them. I’m also currently pregnant and I LIVE in these. I lived in them before pregnancy though, too :)” —Kaisha

A loose and flowy jumpsuit (with adjustable spaghetti straps!) since it’s soooo comfy but also very boho-cute, especially if you dress it up with a belt! Catch me wearing this 24/7 from now through fall.
Promising review: “It fits me perfectly! It is also EXTREMELY comfortable and soft. The length is perfect, and the two pockets are great! I highly recommend this jumpsuit!! In fact, I NEVER leave reviews, but I logged into my account to order another pair in a different color, and the review and ratings page popped up.

A high-neck thong bodysuit to bring on ~hot girl summer.~ It’s pretty much impossible not to feel unbelievably confident when you’re rocking a sleek ‘n’ snazzy bodysuit, but it also means you don’t have to worry about constantly re-tucking your tank.
Promising review: “Love love love this body suit!! I’ve been looking at it for a while and finally bought one on Black Friday. I’m probably going to buy them in three more colors and live in them! Look great with jeans, very comfortable. I bought a medium which is my normal size and it fits great, if you’re worried about sizing just go up a size, with the compression material it won’t look too big!” —Alyssa
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 29 colors).
16.
Some high-waisted denim shorts since the raw frayed hem gives them an even trendier and cooler look than regular clean-cut jeans. In other words, you’ve just found the perfect casual-chic summer shorts. 😎

Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 32 colors).

A crop top sports bra praised by reviewers for being just as amazing as the Lululemon Align yet nowhere near as expensive. Whether you wear it to the gym, on hikes, or paired with high-waisted pants, you’ll be rocking a chic athleisure look without breaking the bank.
18.
A darling A-line midi dress perfect for graduations, casual weddings, backyard parties, or really any time you want to skip the shorts and pants — which is every day in the summer, no? Pretty sure this little number is worthy of a degree in cute summer fashion.
Promising review: “When this dress arrived it looked so simple that I didn’t take it seriously until I tried it on and lived in it. This dress looks great and is so comfortable that I didn’t want to take it off! The empire waistline and sexy V-neck is perfect for my 36DDs. I look adorable in this dress. One thing that is important about this dress is the pockets! They are big enough to hold my schungite rocks without distorting the shape of my body in the dress. I want another one. Maybe I’ll wear this dress all the time.” —Silver Rain Runningcloud
Get it from Amazon for $18.79+ (available in sizes S–3XL, short and long sleeve styles, and dozens of colors and patterns).
19.
A three-pack of ribbed yoga shorts which, according to reviewers, are so darn comfy you’ll want to spend every minute of your life in them. They’re great for working out or lounging and so. darn. cheap.
Promising review: “These are the most comfortable workout/biker shorts I’ve ever worn. They typically do not ride up and they are seamless throughout. I could live in these for the rest of my life. True to size also!” —Krystine Harris
Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–L and various color sets).
20.
A strappy bustier crop top with all the versatility of the crops you already have, yet even *more* style, baby!
amazon.com, Amazon
Promising reviews: “It’s a little snug, but it is exactly as pictured. It’s pretty well made as well! The fabric is like a silky cotton. As a plus size girl I give this a big thumbs up, though. It keeps the girls up and it is something I plan to live in this summer. Could be a cute top as well but I’d prefer this as a bralette.” —Lex
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes 1X–4X and six colors).
21.
A pair of flowy wide leg elastic-waist pants because you’ll look like a beachy boho babe wearing ’em and won’t have to worry about your pants getting all sweaty and sticking to your legs (ugh!) when you’re out and about enjoying the sun.
Amazon
Promising review: “I will be living in these all summer. These pants are comfortable, lightweight, and perfect for my desert climate. I also will be wearing them on my Cancun vacay. They are perfect, seem to release wrinkles easily and the stretch in the waist is awesome. I feel like these will stretch to accommodate me at my heaviest (now) and back down as I lose weight. The pink/brown version has quite a lot of orange…I didn’t mind it but it was more than I expected. I pair mine with a tan or salmon tank and it is comfortable. Toss on a cardigan or shawl for cooler evenings and you’ve got the perfect pant for summer.” —Laura
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and four colors).
22.
A simple and cute flowy T-shirt dress that comes in all sorts of fun, vibrant patterns and designs, all of which are pretty much guaranteed to make you smile.
23. A two-piece knit shorts and tank set to wear on days when you don’t have a single ounce of energy to spare. This trendy little ensemble requires zero outfit planning on your part and is so cool and breathable you won’t even break a sweat. Sounds like a win-win if I ever heard one!

Amazon
Promising review: “I just bought two more because I love this outfit so much! It doesn’t plunge quite as low as the model picture (thankful for that). I got a compliment right away. My neighbors are probably tired of seeing me in these because I live in them.” —Mindy Shepard
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes M–XL and three colors).
24.
A super versatile V-neck midi dress that strikes the perfect balance of comfy (hiii jersey fabric!) and chic.
Promising review: “I’ve lived in this during this hot summer. It washes well ( laid flat to dry), probably need a slip if out and about, skims over ( pretty well) my Covid-10 pounds and I think it looks great. I wear it with flip flops.” —Shoppingirl
Get it from Amazon for $22.37+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, two fabrics, and 11 colors)
25.
A basic short-sleeve tee to replace the old, ratty one you’ve been wearing since… uhhh… let’s just say it’s been a long time. 😅 And if you still need convincing — reviewers rave about how comfy these ones are.
26.
A pair of loose and flowy linen pants (with a drawstring waist!) for anyone who wants to be ~super cool~ this summer. I mean that both literally and figuratively, BTW. 😎
27.
A wide-leg safari jumpsuit since it’s a zero-thought-required, straight 💯 outfit. Put another way, you’ll be looking fire, but feeling ultra cool in the featherlight, breathable fabric.
