Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.

1.

An easy cap-sleeve tee made specifically so you can show off those impressive Pilates arms. You’ll love how much use you’ll get out of this top because, like all the reviewers, there’s not a place (work, brunch, concerts, you name it!) we won’t catch you in it.

Promising review: “These shirts are a thick 100% cotton fabric and high quality for the price. Great for summer weather. I got one last year and ordered more in different colors this year. They hold up well in the wash — I use cold water — and they keep their shape and color. I do put them in the dryer on soft heat, and the result is perfect. I like the shoulder treatment, and the shirts have little inserts under the arms so that one’s bra does not show. Very well designed. They look great with jeans or linen pants, tucked or untucked!” —Delsie

Price: $12.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 25 colors/prints).

2.

A pair of lightweight boxer shorts, which I recommend stepping into when getting ready for bed, just in case you’re one of those sleepwalkers waking up in the middle of the night with the munchies while your roomie’s sibling is crashing on the couch.

Promising review: “So comfy and they look just like the photo! The quality is great, they aren’t see-through, and I love the bright color! They fit true to size. They are definitely a great value for the money.” —Hope

Price: $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 22 styles).

3.

A preppy shirtdress with the most precious three-quarter sleeves and a bell-shaped skirt. Proceed with caution, as this lovely frock might cause some dizziness by midday, since all you’d want to do is swirl around like a Disney princess.

Promising review: “Such a great dress that can be dressed down with sneakers/sandals or dressed up with wedges/block heels. I got the medium and loved the Kelly green color!” —Amanda

Price: $34.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and in 24 colors)

4.

A pretty scalloped cardigan, because as summer slips away from us, it’s smart to be ready to embrace the chilly breeze of fall, or the current freezing AC in your office. Seriously, whoever controls the temp in these buildings must be from Alaska or something.


amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: “This is the perfect little black lightweight sweater! The fit is perfect. The quality is top-notch, and the scallops really give it extra class. Over a dress or casual with jeans, it fits the bill. I hope some of the other colors go on sale! I’ll be a repeat customer.” —Carol

Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 34 colors/patterns)

5.

A pair of teeny oval sunglasses to permanently keep in your purse because sometimes all it takes to level-up an outfit from blah to whoa is great sunnies.


amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “A must-buy!!! These sunnies are the perfect size, shape, and color, while also being extremely lightweight and comfortable. Very complementary to the face. If you haven’t bought yet, this is your sign!!! BRB, ordering the other colors now. :)” —Amazon Customer

Price: $15.99+ (available in nine colors and three multipacks)

6.

A pair of top-notch loafer mules so you can give the back of your ankles some well-deserved R&R and still look fly. What do we say to painful blisters? Not today!


amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “Such cute shoes that are maybe even better than the designer inspiration! I ordered a 37, and usually am a 6.5. They fit perfectly. The footbed is more padded than the designer version. Leather is soft and comfortable on the foot. Sole is not slippery.” —Emily Wilson

Price: $49.89+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 11 colors).

7.

A double-lined crop top to support your wildest adventures while hiking and exploring new places, or to equally have your back when all you want to do is lounge with a glass of wine. Best part? No bra is required to enjoy the benefits of this basic.


amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising reviews: “I have bought this top in seven different colors because I am that obsessed with it. I have gifted it to all of my friends for their birthdays because it is that great. It is a Spandex-like material and super comfy, but the fit and style of it are what I am obsessed with. It is super cute. I wear this to work out in or even just wear to go out in without a bra underneath, and it keeps everything in check. My number one clothing item for the last couple of months!!” —Midwestern Girl

“I read the reviews and couldn’t believe that women with large breasts, such as myself, could really go braless with this top. Yup. It’s true.” —Aimee

Price: $11.97+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 31 colors)

8.

A bouncy skort that’ll inspire you to always bring your A-game to the court OR happy hour. ‘Cause let’s be real, you’ll be hitting some shots in either scenario.


amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “This skort is absolutely adorable! The fabric is wonderfully lightweight, making it perfect for staying cool on warm days. After washing, it maintained its vibrant look and softness, which is a huge plus. I found it to be noticeably thinner and more breathable compared to other similar styles I’ve purchased, allowing for great comfort during wear. It’s so cozy that I could easily see myself wearing it every day. Although it’s slightly shorter than my other skorts, I actually don’t mind that at all — it adds a playful touch to the overall style!” —Ashley Miller

Price: $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 25 colors)

9.

A tailored two-piece set for when you need to look professional and put-together but still want your playful side to shine. I just know you’ll be the center of attention and radiating so much confidence in this power suit.


amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “I love this! I ordered it to wear to my daughter’s wedding, which is going to be on a hot summer day. It’s perfect, a great fit, and the fabric is very nice. I was concerned about the pants being long enough because I have long legs, but they are plenty long enough. I’m thrilled! The color was just like the picture. I’m going to take it to the dry cleaners because it’s a bit wrinkly and I don’t iron.” —Cyndee Martin

Price: $46.19+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 14 colors)

10.

A quintessential Levi’s Trucker jacket because it’s a necessity, not an option, to own a denim jacket. Your wardrobe is not complete without one of these, and you might as well get the most famous, reliable, and durable of them all.


amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “I’ve been looking forever for a high-quality denim jacket with just the right amount of authentic fade, but at an affordable price. I should have known to check out Levi’s first! This jacket is soft yet structured. The denim has a little personality and fade, but still goes with everything. The fit is right on point. Seriously, it doesn’t get much better than this!” —FitGirlInFlight

Price: $48.99+ (available in sizes XS–4X and 11 washes)

11.

A chic shoulder purse that we are awarding as the “It Bag” of the year. Get excited because, according to some reviewers, it fits SO much stuff — including your laptop! How about that?

Promising review: “I absolutely love this purse brand! I’ve purchased three so far, including one for my daughter, who’s in college, and she adores it. The design is stylish and cute, yet super functional. It has plenty of space — even enough for her laptop — without feeling bulky. The quality is excellent, and the craftsmanship really stands out. These bags are perfect for everyday use, whether you’re heading to work, school, or just out and about. Highly recommend!” —Nora

Price: $12.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors)

12.

An adorable lace-trimmed pair of sneakers, since it’s time to replace those worn-out white kicks for something sweeter and more of-the-moment.

amazon.com

Promising review: “Love these — I get so many compliments! So cute and super comfortable! No break-in time needed. Ribbon laces are a great touch, but they are very fragile, so it is a little difficult to get the shoes tight.” —Amy Waltz 

Price: $47.99+ (available in women’s sizes 6–11 and wide sizes)

13.

A chunky sweater vest with big pebbly buttons that catch the eye instantly. Style this beauty out when the weather is as confused and lost as Belly, but ends up picking the daylight — like it should have from the beginning. Team Connie Baby FOREVER!


amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising reviews: “Buy it!!! This sweater is beautiful! High quality, so soft. It’s perfect! I’m so happy with it.” —Ana Gillison

“I got this sweater after seeing someone’s video on YouTube, and let me tell you, it is an amazing material. Feels soft, and of course, I had to go with the trend. I styled it with wide-leg jeans and loafers and received so many compliments. I also pair it with leggings, and that looks great, too. Definitely recommend this.” —Pro Shopper

Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 13 colors).

14.

A pair of super cool barrel jeans which at first sight look a little too fashion forward (if that’s even a thing), but are surprisingly easy to wear, and I bet my entire bank account that these will become your new favorite jeans.


amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “These are so great! Fit perfectly! Material is soft, comfortable, stretchy, and high-quality. I just ordered two more pairs. These are my new go-to jeans! I feel good in them. I am so happy I took a chance and bought them because I absolutely love them!!! You won’t be disappointed!” —cathyharriman

Price: $41.99+ (available in sizes XS-XXL and 13 colors/prints)

A beautiful eyelet maxi that’ll streamline your get-out-the-door by at least half the time — that’s the beauty of a one-and-done look. And don’t stress, the matching slip is included.

Promising review: “I could not love this outfit more! I bought it for vacation and it was perfect! You can wear it with the included slip for a dress or wear it without the slip for a swimsuit cover-up. So stylish! I bought a size up because I wanted it to be a bit looser, and that is what I got. You won’t regret this one!” —Julie M. Derrer

Price: $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 14 colors)

16.

A fall-friendly quilted jacket to throw on when you want to add a touch of creativity to jeans and a T-shirt. Meanwhile, you’ll be hearing whispers of “she’s so artsy” behind your back.

Promising review: “This cropped puffer is so cute, I would say it’s not super puffy but more quilted and adorable. I get compliments on it every time I wear it out. It’s cute paired with a lace top underneath or even a longer sleeve shirt. SO many ways to wear it, I want it in every color.” —Kelley

Price: $29.99+ (available in sizes XS-XL and 10 prints)

17.

A layered necklace set so dainty and featherweight, but still makes a grand statement. Good thing they are hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant, so you won’t loose any sleep if you forget to take them off.

Promising review: “I love the way these layering necklaces look! I haven’t taken them off since I received them, and they look brand new still. I’ve worn them in the shower, pools, and beach, and they are still perfect.” —Allison Kwong

Price: $15.99+ (available in three finishes and 12 other styles)

18.

A pair of machine-washable Rothy’s flats that I personally own and I wear EVERY SINGLE DAY — I wouldn’t lie to you, I promise! They are just the most comfortable and breathable casual shoes, and that’s coming from a person who doesn’t even like flats that much. Ohhh, and I almost forgot to tell you they are made from recycled plastic — how cool is that?

Promising review: “My daughter suggested these shoes, and wow — she was spot on. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but they completely exceeded my expectations. Super comfortable right out of the box, great support, and they look even better in person. I’ve worn them for long days and casual outings, and they’ve held up beautifully. Definitely one of those surprise wins that makes you wonder how you ever went without them.” —Marie

Price: $99 (available in sizes 5-13 and seven colors/prints)

19.

A sweetheart tube top that, as you can see by these reviewers’ pictures, you’ll want to get in several colors because it’s that versatile and comfy. The twist knot at the front gives it a fun detail plus helps keep your twins nice and snug. Don’t you love it when you find a strapless anything you don’t have to consistently pull up throughout the day?


amazon.com

Promising review: “I really like this top. It stays in place and looks really cute. It’s is soft and stretchy. The material feels heavier, not flimsy, but not hot.” —LaDonna

Price: $8.09+ (available in sizes XS-L and 21 colors/prints)

20.

A swingy pleated skirt made for dancing the night away. Yes, it’s hot as hell outside right now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go get your *Dancing Queen* on! Later in the fall, you can still wear it with a chunky sweater.

Promising review: “This product literally makes me feel like a princess! It is so soft, the perfect length, and it flows well! The underskirt keeps it from being see-through! It is so comfortable! You think that it would fall down, but to my surprise, it stayed up on my waist very well! When you twirl it, it doesn’t get as much of a flow as I originally wanted, but in the end, I like the way it twirls! I highly recommend this product!” —Weezie

Price: $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 21 colors)

21.

A faux-suede moto jacket that’s easy to style for any occasion (even your own wedding 🥰). It’s the perfect transitional topper; besides, it puts the finishing touch for a rich textured look.


amazon.com

Promising review: “This jacket is buttery soft and fits true to size. It has a tailored look, goes well with a shirt/pants or dress, and is thick enough to keep me warm, but it’s definitely still considered a light jacket. Definitely recommend!” —H. Sanders

Price: $39.99+ (available in XS-XXL and 11 colors)

22.

A delicate band ring (that reviewers say looks just like the Cartier version) you’ll never want to take off. It’ll look stunning by itself or equally pretty stacked with all your other everyday treasures and heirlooms.

Promising review: “The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find, honestly. I wasn’t looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it’s the real deal. I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the ‘diamonds’ have fallen off, and it hasn’t tarnished! I’ve worn it daily for almost a year now, and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that’s typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring, and I honestly can’t believe how well it has handled everything I’ve put it through.” —Eva Richterkessing

Price: $8.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, three finishes, and three styles)

23.

A pair of sturdy tall boots that get better and better the more you use them. They’re walkable and comfortable, so you can rock them at that concert coming up and feel safe jumping around knowing your feet won’t kill you by the end of the night.


amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “OMG! Where have these boots been? Absolutely the cutest modern twist on a cowgirl boot. Super comfy. I ordered a half-size up because I’d rather wear thick socks than have to break ‘em in. I’m wearing them to a concert, so there is no time for that lol! Really happy with this purchase and did I mention the price?! Hello! Best boots I’ve purchased in quite a long time.” —Isabella Mueller

Price: $62.99 (available in sizes 6–12 and 11 colors)

24.

A classic polo shirt that, as our beloved most accomplished lyricist says, is “coming stronger than a ’90s trend.” Remember that pleated skirt above? Yeah, it would look cute with this. It’s giving good next-door neighbor vibes.

Promising review: “This is a nice cotton top. That’s easy to wear in the heat of the summer and very versatile to wear with jeans, skirts, or shorts. It’s a medium-weight fabric, and because of the cotton content, it’s very breathable. The fit is good for me.” —Dee Da

Price: $8.90+ (available in sizes XS-6X and 10 colors)

25.

A pair of dressy Bermuda shorts, since shorts can be office appropriate when combined with a crisp shirt and blazer, and dare I say, even cocktail ready if you add a going-out top and statement bling.

Promising review: “Absolutely love these black shorts! They have a tailored look with functional pockets and an elastic band in the back to prevent gapping, such a great feature. The length is perfect, making them easy to style for fall with a pair of tights. I was inspired by a Pinterest look and couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Just note, they don’t have much stretch, so size up if you prefer a looser fit. Great quality, and I’ll definitely be getting them in more colors!” —Dini

Price: $19.98+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 13 colors)

26.

A chic tank and wide-leg pants set made to cruise the streets of Paris. I bet you anything the rest of the tourists will stop you, not just to ask for directions (’cause you’ll be looking like a local!), but saying, “Emily who?”

A reviewer in the beige linen set


amazon.com

Promising review: “I love this set. It’s so soft, so comfortable, so cute, and so high-end looking. The bottoms are elastic, and while they felt slightly too large, they felt good. I have a large bust (36 G) and small hips. I would advise big-busted women to size up one. Some big-busted women don’t mind the tight top, but I hate it. This is a linen-cotton blend, so it does not stretch on top. But all in all, I love this and definitely want one more in a different color.” —Christalpistol

Price: $26.59+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 23 colors)

27.

And an asymmetrical halter dress that’s soon to be all over your feed because polka-dots are not a spring-only print anymore. So just hit the add to cart button on this one; otherwise, you’ll regret not getting ahead of the trend.

Promising review: “I bought this to wear to a derby party. I got so many compliments, and so many people said they were reminded of Julia Roberts in the movie Pretty Woman. I used the belt from the dress and tied it around my hat to coordinate the look. Can’t beat the price either!” —Mermaid

Price: $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in eight colors/prints)
