Unless otherwise specified, all sizes listed in this post are in women's. 1. A pair of extra-wide-leg darted palazzo pants that allow for ample airflow.
It's basically like wearing a dress, but you don't have to worry about accidentally flashing anyone if a gust of wind catches you by surprise. Promising review : "If you're undecided..
. buy these. By far, my favorite pair of pants.
So comfortable. I get compliments every time I wear them. I've now bought them in three different colors !" — Beckaroosy Get them from Amazon for $33.
99 (available in sizes XS–2XL and 31 colors and patterns). 2. A twist-front knit tube top if you're looking for Sofia Richie styles that don't cost an arm and a leg cause, sadly, you don't have old or new money.
Promising review: "I saw so many videos of this on TikTok!! It did not disappoint. It’s super cute for this summer! It’s a must-have!!!!!! I’m wearing a large, and it has a fit that's amazing." — Tania Zabala Get it from Amazon for $17.
99 (available in sizes S–L and in 13 colors). 3. A plain Madewell tee you can wear again and again and again because there's really no wrong way to pair it.
Like seriously, I'd like to see an outfit it doesn't make sense with?? Promising review : "The perfect white T-shirt. Comfortable. Good quality.
Not too expensive. I’ve worn it time and time again. Relaxed fit.
" — Bartow Get it from Amazon for $18.50 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in four colors). 4.
Or a geometric tee that works just like any regular ol' tee but with ✨a little extra spice ✨in the form of a cutout. Marcella is a New York–based small business that describes its ethically and sustainably made designs as "minimalism with edge." Promising review : "Purchased in white and I love the cutout detailing.
Simple yet makes me feel put together and like I put in effort without really trying." — Antoinette M. Get it from Marcella for $55.
25 (originally $65; available in sizes XS–XXXL and in two colors). 5. An oversized jean jacket that I won't even waste your time explaining.
You and I both KNOW there's nothing more versatile, and denim is the ultimate neutral. Get it from Gap for $49 (originally $99.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL petite, standard, and tall).
6. A tiered tent dress with adjustable button straps and pockets big enough for your phone, keys, and wallet so you don't have to bring a bag if you don't want to. (*I* never do.
) Promising review : "Love this dress! Soooo soft! I went back and forth on the size because I saw that some reviewers said that it ran large...
I went with my usual size, and I’m glad I did. The body fit loosely (the way it’s meant to), but if I had gone down a size it would have been too tight across the bust." — Lauren Get it from Amazon for $39.
80 (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 20 colors). 7. A pair of patent leather or suede knee-high boots that come in EIGHT DIFFERENT CALF WIDTHS if you've been struggling to find a pair that fit correctly for oh.
..idk.
..your whole life!!! Promising review : "It is quite liberating to find a company that actually sizes your boot properly from foot to knee.
They are beautiful and made from soft leather. They also fit like a glove and are very comfortable." — Deborah S.
Get them from DuoBoots for $380 (available in sizes 5–11, calf widths 30–50 cms, petite, standard, and tall fits, and in two colors). 8. A classic London Fog trench you can throw on over anything and immediately look like an incognito celeb — especially if you throw sunglasses into the mix.
Promising review : " This trench coat is well constructed and very high quality. It looks great over formal attire but can also elevate a casual look. It has a slightly loose fit, as expected with this style, but can be cinched with the belt.
It’s lightweight, making it ideal for spring or fall. Just enough to cut the chill and keep you dry in the rain, but not overly warm. This is my second LF trench, the first had a plaid flannel lining which — while very soft and pretty — always made me sweat.
This one is perfect!!" — Ash Get it from Amazon for $98.21+ (available in sizes XS–3X and two colors). 9.
A silky satin midi skirt with a silhouette that says "chic" and an elastic waistband that says "I'll give your most comfortable sweats a go." Promising review: "This skirt is absolutely stunning! The quality is amazing for the price. I’ve bought similar skirts at other stores that are $60+ but this one is the best I’ve owned.
You won’t regret it!" — Abby Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 20 colors). 10.
A pair of Levi's Ribcage jeans that go where no low-rise jean has ever gone before — up, up, up past your bellybutton. Promising review : "Bought these for both my daughter and me, and they look great on both of us!!! They’re extremely comfortable and they stretch just enough. The quality is exactly what you expect from Levi’s.
We purchased three pairs in total and plan on purchasing more in other colors." — Lulu Herrera Get them from Amazon for $31.49+ (available in sizes 20–32 Standard and 35–39 Plus and in 15 washes).
11. An oversize cardigan sure to come in clutch during those awkward weeks when summer starts to becomes fall. Promising review : "The quality of this cardigan is amazing! Feels like it should be $150 .
I wanted oversized so I sized up and it’s perfection." — Evan White Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 17 colors).
12. A structured blazer with a classic collar and lapel you can layer over a button-up for an interview or over a band tee for the photo shoot you scheduled with your BFF, 'cause you need new pics for LinkedIn and your dating profile. Promising review : "This is a beautiful blazer! I ordered the pink and it's such a fun color.
I'm really impressed with the quality of the fabric. It came out of the package in great shape but I do think it would wrinkle a bit if I packed it in a suitcase. I love the length and how it covers my butt.
The sleeves weren't too tight in my upper arms which always seems to be an issue for me with blazers. I definitely want this piece in more colors! " — Ketoinchi Get it from Amazon for $74.90 (available in sizes XXS–5X and 10 colors).
13. Some square-toe ballet flats if you're finally succumbing to balletcore after watching 10,000 GRWM videos that inevitably feature the style. Promising review : "Very comfortable right out of the box.
The leather is nice and soft, so the shoe is not stiff. I ordered them because they're trendy but they're def a classic style. Can dress them up or down.
I ordered two sizes and my true size fit perfectly. Very happy with this purchase. It's my opinion that this is also an all-season flat as long as its not raining/snowing.
" — GMB Get them from Dolce Vita for $120 (available in sizes 5–13 an in 11 colors). 14. A cropped, puff-sleeve sweater that's just as easy to style as your typical tee cause if you know one thing about yourself, it's that anything that takes extra effort *will* sit in the back of your closet never to see the light of day again.
Get it from Petal & Pup for $69 (available in sizes XS–XL and in four colors). 15. A trusty pair of Reebok Club C Doubles — the only shoes I'd save from a burning building if given the opportunity.
You know that TikTok sound "If I like it...
I'll just grab it in a different color"? These shoes are my kryptonite. I have them in four different colors and wear them with EVERYTHING whether I'm on vacation or at home. They go with skirts and dresses just as well as with jeans and they've never given me a blister!!! According to the health app on my iPhone, my most recent trip included 57 miles of walking and my feet were in tip-top shape despite walking all day, every day through four different countries.
Pro tip: If you're a women's size 8 or smaller, you can get them in big kid's sizes (I'm an 8 women's, so I get a 6 in kids) and they're like half the price!! Promising review : "They are soooo comfortable and soft on the inside I wish I’d bought them sooner. They were comfortable from the moment I put them on..
. didn’t even have to break them in.” — Sarahsmile Get them from Amazon for $74.
90+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 12 colors). 16. A mock neck tank sweater — with a smart cap sleeve — that makes a statement on all on its own so you don't have to waste any time hemming and hawing over accessories.
Promising review : "I have purchased 3 of these sweaters. All are very soft and well-made. I love that they have just a bit of a cap sleeve for those of us who are no longer wearing tank tops AND that they have a funnel neckline for those of us who do not like turtlenecks.
They work well as a layering piece under a blazer or jacket as well as being cute worn alone. I have the white, black stripe, and the mint green and expect to be wearing these all seasons ." — Naomi Get it from Amazon for $24.
52+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 22 colors). 17. A seriously *stunning* slip dress you can gussy up or tone down.
Wear it with heels and you've got yourself an evening dress, or pair it with a leather jacket and ankle boots for an impossibly cool look. Promising review: "Love this dress so much. It’s like wearing a satin nightgown but out in public.
I pair a tank top over it and sneakers for a casual look. The slits are sexy without being overtly sexy and the material just hugs my curves with enough room to still move about." — Jordan Get it from Amazon for $39.
50+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and 26 colors). 18. An on-trend vest top with a slightly cropped silhouette that'll pair per-fectly with all of your high-waisted bottoms and chunky gold accessories.
Promising review : "This vest is perfect and I love everything about it! I bought it in camel, white, and black. I receive compliments every time I wear it ..
.Highly recommend!" — Kristie Clark Get it from Amazon for $33.98 (available in sizes S–XXL and in eight colors).
19. An A-line, linen-blend midi dress that looks like it's from Reformation but it's actually from Old Navy (!!!) so you won't have to budget for months in order to afford it. Promising review : "Very pretty dress! The neckline is perfect.
Love the pockets and I look forward to wearing it this summer!" — anonymous Get it from Old Navy for $33.99+ (originally $44.99+; available in sizes XS–4X and in eight colors/design).
20. A machine-washable (!!!) satin mini skirt prepared to pull the weight of your entire outfit. Promising review : "This is the perfect silk skirt! It’s comfortable and perfect for all seasons.
I’ve washed it several times (delicate cycle, cold, hang dry, then steam to get out wrinkles) and it’s held up very well! Highly recommend and will be purchasing in other colors." — Hannah Get it from Quince for $49.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in five colors).
21. A dainty ruffled set made from lightweight, breathable cotton so your en-vogue outfit won't turn your pits into a sweat fest. Promising review : "I wasn’t too sure about this the first time I put it on straight out of the packaging.
It was wrinkled and I thought it was not a good fit. I held onto it for over a week before I decided to try it again. This time I tossed it in the dryer on wrinkle-free mode.
The wrinkles relaxed and I tried it on again. I AM IN LOVE!!! I am seriously considering getting this in another color. It’s lightweight, and has these cute slits up the side of the pant s.
The material does not stretch so keep that in mind." — Alysa Mounce Get it from Amazon for $37.57+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in seven colors and here's a similar shorts version! ).
22. An faux leather jacket with classic lapels and simple gunmetal finishings that make it a cinch to style. Like, seriously — throw it on over basically anything.
Get it from Mango for $79.99 (available in sizes XXS–4XL). 23.
A long-sleeve bodysuit in a deliciously soft fabric — known as Smoke Cloud — that reviewers compare to Skims. They say it washes well, too, so you can count on it being high quality despite the deceivingly low price! And BTW, reviewers say the double lining in the torso is supportive, so they don't need to wear a bra. Promising review: "Are you kidding me? This is the softest most comfortable body suit I’ve ever owned.
I got so many compliments lol; everyone did think they were Skims lol, but it’s definitely worth every penny. I love and will be getting more colors!!! You need it." — Wendy L.
Get it from Amazon for $24.64+ (available in women's sizes XS–3X and 15 colors). And check out all the styles available in the Smoke Cloud fabric here .
24. An oversized faux leather shirt jacket you can style just as easily as a jean jacket. Button it up or leave it open if you actually had time to match what you're wearing underneath.
Promising review : "I am absolutely OBSESSED with this jacket!!! Every time that I wear it I always receive compliments and it’s the perfect jacket for a night out. I HIGHLY recommend this for anyone looking for a leather button down." — eashurst Get it from Amazon for $41.
38 (available in sizes S–XL and in 11 colors). 25. Some top-rated Everlane utility pants with accent stitching, patch pockets, and a cool cropped silhouette that reads like you put serious effort into your look even if all you did was slip on a white tee, slide on some platform Vans, and call it a day.
Promising reviews: "SO COMFY. Love, love, love these pants. They are extremely comfortable and are easily dressed up or dressed as casual as you want them" — kattt "I love these pants.
I’ve got a bit of a booty, and I’ve found that this style of pant works well for us bigger-bottomed gals. I’m also so pleased at how perfectly they fit. Usually, pants that fit in the rear, they’re too big in the waist.
However, these are the Goldilocks of pants. I’m ordering more immediately." — Emily Lucille Get them from Everlane for $98 (available in sizes 000–16, tall sizes, and six colors/three denim washes).
26. A smart button-down maxi if your usual go-to is an oversized men's shirt and lived-in jeans. Look, when it's freakin' humid out, reaching for denim just isn't an option.
Promising review : "Amazing! Simple, yet beautiful. The pockets are a wee bit high, but I am pretty tall. I have the blue and plan to order a couple more.
This dress will be beautiful dry cleaned. It looks very expensive, but it's less than 30 bucks! This dress is going to have a lot of fun with me!" — Zippy Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 16 colors).
27. A pair of 100% European linen pants you *will* reach for every. single.
day. — and I say this from experience. (If you're my friend and you've seen me wear these two days in a row.
.. no you didn't.
) I have these pants in driftwood, black, and martini olive because I just can't get enough. They're extremely comfy, wash beautifully, and deliver a low-fuss look that's still super pulled together. I find they run large, so size down if you're between sizes! Promising review : "I loved these linen pants so much I ordered them in two colors.
My go-to summer pants; they're great high-quality linen and so comfortable. Easy to dress down at the beach or wear with a tailored top or sweater out to dinner. Already thinking of how I'll style them for fall! A must-buy.
Runs slightly large so size down!" — Ashley C. Get them from Quince for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 11 colors).
28. A denim midi with a slitted hem so you can show off your footwear — especially if you're practicing what TikTok calls the "wrong shoe theory." Nobody's Child is a small, London–based brand that's dedicated to sustainable fashion.
Last year, their in-house designs were made with over 95% organic, lower impact or recycled materials. They also have plans to be a climate positive business by 2030. Get it from Nobody's Child for $53+ (available in sizes 0–14 and in four washes).
29. A corduroy button-down that'll help you nail that "Oh, this? I just threw it on" look that all of your favorite stars have down. (I'm looking at you, Dakota Johnson.
) Promising review : "Love this shacket. It will be a go-to this fall and winter. Staying warm and stylish will be easy with this additional piece added to my wardrobe.
" — Maureen Buck Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in 37 colors). 30.
And a stylish midi tank dress with straps wide enough to hide your bra so you don't have to waste any room packing a strapless option you absolutely detest wearing anyways. Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical about buying a bodycon dress from an unknown..
.but am soooo glad I did. The fit is amazing.
I can dress it up or down (think New Year's Eve, or a beach party). It is really that cool and versatile..
. This is an all-season, all-event dress..
. This dress will work for a variety of body shapes. Cons: Sorry, can't think of any.
" — Susan R. Get it from Amazon for $49.90 (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 11 colors).
