1. A ruffle knit tank — aka your cute pants' new BFF. I'm kinda thinking I need this super cute tank in alllllll the colors.
Promising review: "Such a cute addition to any summer outfit! Highly recommend. Lightweight but detailed and works great for any occasion." —Helena Ezzeldin
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–L and in 30 colors/styles).
2. A gingham puff-sleeve dress so you'll always have an easy-to-wear clothing option that's light and airy.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly couldn't help but rave about this dress:
"I brought this dress along on vacation and it even passed The Vatican dress code! I knew I had to have it after my colleague Emma Lord bought and reviewed it (#4 here). This super lightweight nap dress is unlined, but NOT see-through...even in daylight. It was so comfy for gallivanting around and long enough for me to sit on a random step on a bridge to take a rest and give my old dogs a rest. It made for a dramatic, but not TOO dramatic, look in photos I'll cherish forever. And it kept me cool in what turned out to be some hotter weather than what I anticipated. If you're looking for a way to wear something nightgown-adjacent in public but still look quite put-together, this dress is for you."
Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in sizes S–XL and nine colors).
3. A two-piece set if you want getting dressed in the morning to be as effortless as possible.

Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 15 styles).

Promising review: "Love this dress. Pro tip: If you want your bust to look even better in the dress, get a push-up adhesive bra. Pull the ties across each other over the connecting part of the bra, and use two safety pins to hold [it] in place. THEN tie." —Kay
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 39 styles).
5. And a denim jacket since you'll surely want this evergreen staple at your disposal when it's a bit breezy out and wearing a puffer coat is simply not the move.
Promising review: "I read another review saying to size down, which I did (even though I have big chest/shoulders) and they were absolutely right. The smaller size was appropriately oversized on me and looked super cute. The fabric was a great weight and felt like it would hold up to quite a lot of wear. Color was perfect for a light blue." —Bobbi27
Get it from Levi's for $87.98 (originally $98; available in sizes 1X–3X).

Get it from Amazon for $38.97+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 18 colors/styles).
9. A minimalist graphic tee you absolutely need in your closet. These are perfect for layering and also always look trendy with cutoff jeans or shorts.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this top! I got a large, I’m usually a medium but I wanted to make sure it was a little oversized. It’s soft, doesn’t feel cheaply made at all. I will definitely order another!!!! 10/10." —Chassidy Garland
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 29 colors/designs).
10. A casually cool jogger set that's the easiest, comfiest outfit option your closet will ever see.
Promising review: "This pair is much thicker, softer, and overall better quality than I expected.

I am definitely buying more." —bcesparza
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 11 colors).
11. Or this matching T-shirt and shorts set if you want to look on trend the next time you run out to do some errands.
Promising review: "Perfect style and fit. I prefer the buttons unbuttoned and I love the shorts pockets. I roll the shorts to make them shorter (personal preference only). I’ve washed it twice and holds up great. Perfect summer set!" —DDMom
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 21 colors).
12. A houndstooth shoulder bag so whether you're dressing for a night out or a chic shopping day trip, you'll look like an absolute star. Adding this bag to a neutral 'fit is *chef's kiss*.

Get it from Amazon for $58.81 (available in two colors).
13. A blouse dress that's a classic for a reason. With this dress as your canvas, you can add all your fun accessories, from a bold belt to a bright handbag.
Promising review: "Material is great, soft, and the fit is perfect to wear with a nice pair of boots, etc. I sized up and it was a good fit." —Donna Jarock
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 15 colors).
14. Or a mini ruffle-hem dress in case a plain white button-down dress is just too simple for you. I think it's safe to say these ruffles are anything but boring.
Loud Bodies is a woman-owned small biz that specializes in ethically produced sustainable clothing of all sizes.
Bonus: Each dress comes with a complimentary slip dress (although you can opt out of it if you already own one you love, for sustainability reasons).
Promising review: "I ADORE my Gabrielle Dress Cotton Mini. I had been following Loud Bodies for a quite awhile and love following them because of their commitment to inclusivity, sustainability, design, and their commitment to their customers. With this in mind I was eager to find an opportunity to support them. My mom got engaged this spring picked a light pink theme for her summer wedding. I reached out to the brand to see if they could make this dress in pastel pink and help me with making sure I ordered the right size. The staff was INCREDIBLE!!! They were so helpful and kind and helped me to order the exact dress I needed. I got my dress and was astounded. It looks like it is straight out of a fairytale and the material/stitching is quality! It was the perfect dress for the wedding and I was getting compliments all day. I truly love this brand and can’t wait to keep following them and support them again in the future!" —Lydia Eichelberg
Get it from Loud Bodies for $210 (available in sizes XXS–7XL as well as in custom options).
15. A scrunched baguette because tiny handbags are all the rage and you surely need one in a bright color for spring/summer.
JW Pei is an Asian-, family-owned brand with minimalist purses that are made with sustainable vegan materials.
Promising review: "I needed more 'date' bags as most of my bags are huge. I ordered this and it's exquisite. Soft and not too small. Big enough for a small purse, my keys, lipstick, extra face mask, and iPhone. Highly recommend." —Techy
Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in 10 colors).
16. A chic necklace featuring freshwater pearls and a gold-plated chain you'll wear nonstop. I have personally not stopped wearing necklaces from this brand so I def think you need one in your accessories lineup.
*Note: this piece is 18k gold plated!*
Joey Baby NYC is an AAPI woman-owned brand based in New York. All of her jewelry pieces are incredibly on trend and amazing for layering.
I have several pieces from the brand and love every single one. They are all such amazing quality and add something fresh to a ton of my basic tops.

18. A Flaunt phone case with squared edges for easy holding that comes in a slew of fun colors and patterns to match your outfits. You can't be taking mirror selfies and having your phone look subpar...
I have never put a phone case on my phone so fast. I have so many people complimenting me on this case and it truly feels so cool to be able to hold my phone with the squared edges. I actually prefer how the phone feels with it on. I def need to grab a few other colors since I love it so much. The cow print is so fun and still neutral that it looks good in all my mirror selfies.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this case!! The colors are so incredibly beautiful! I have have gotten so many compliments! Ordering was a breeze and delivery was quick!! If you are on the fence about this one, just pull the trigger and order it!! You will be pleasantly surprised!!!" —Lynda D.

Promising reviews: "LOVE this dress! It looks exactly like the picture! The pockets are deep and super handy. Very comfortable and I love that you can dress it up or down. Perfect for the summer in hot, humid weather! Going back for more colors!" —Haley
"Found this dress through a BuzzFeed article and couldn't resist the white sunflowers. The material is stretchy and just fits your body so well. I didn't have any problems with it being see through. The length is cute, the buttons are fake so they stay uniform all the way down, and it's stretchy across the back of the bodice so bigger-chested people would love this. My mom and I have completely different body types and the large fits us both amazingly! Definitely going to try to order as many prints as I can!" —Courtney Clark
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 39 colors/patterns).
20. A pair of high-waisted flowy pants you'll be able to tuck a basic tank into for a solid put together 'fit.
FYI, this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "These pants are so comfortable and chic! I love that they are wide-legged and flowy. They give you the same breezy feeling that you get with a maxi skirt. The material is super soft and the perfect weight for warm weather pants. The belted ties are just the right length and add a very feminine touch. The pant legs are very wide. I cannot wait for warmer weather to get here so I can wear this outfit!" —Brittany Williams
Get it from Amazon for $22.94+ (available in sizes S–4XL and in 14 colors).
21. Square-block heels to slip-on with practically any outfit for a springy upgrade. The best part is the heel — a thick heel = more comfortability.
Get them from Missguided for $15 (originally $38; available in sizes 5–10 and in six colors).
22. A ruffled sleeve pleated-skirt dress that's just begging to be twirled in. Grab your fave handbag and a pair of booties and you're set.
Promising review: "LOVE THIS DRESS! I bought it for a wedding and got so many compliments. It fit great. I probably could have gone down a size because the top was a little loose. But it’s very flowy. The material is thin but thick enough that it’s not see-through." —Megan
Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in eight colors).
23. A solid oversized blazer for taking any simple look to an elite OOTD. (If you can't tell from the photos, I loveeeee this blazer).
I absolutely adore this blazer. I wanted an "oversized" fit blazer for a while but so many blazers online are fitted which I didn't want. This one fit the bill because I wanted to be able to pair it with thicker sweaters and sweatshirts. I honestly will probs order this in more colors because it's such good quality and a great fit.
Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and eight colors).
24. A backless lace bodysuit because sometimes you're in a "I want to dress sexy" mood.
Promising review: "Wore this in my engagement photos and it looked absolutely stunning. The lace is really beautiful and falls perfectly. There’s minimal support in the front because the material isn’t very thick (not see through at all, just not thick), so I wouldn’t recommend it for people with larger breasts." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in nine colors).
25. A ribbed knit pencil skirt — aka a cozy, suitable-for-work wardrobe piece that's also comfortable to lounge in. Who knew skirts could be loungewear!?

Get it from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 23 colors).
26. A chunky cardigan that's super versatile — and by versatile, we mean it can be styled over your loungewear or with an outfit you'd actually step out of the house in. There is no in between at this point, welcome to 2022.

Get it from Bon Bon Whims for $55 (available in sizes 4–7, two colors, and with or without charms).
28. A puff-sleeve blouse that looks ridiculously expensive but plot twist...it isn't.
Promising review: "This top is fitted but has great stretch; it is somewhat short...but not a crop at all, it will probably hit the tops of your pants pockets. The body of the top is made with a soft, lightweight, non-itchy knit-textured type of material. The sleeves worked out better than expected; the sleeve material is soft and was NOT itchy (like I expected it to be)." —Karmen
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes 1X–4X and in two colors).
29. A pair of cutoff shorts featuring distressed edging, because nothing screams *effortlessly cool* like a vintage concert tee and these shorts.
These have over 12,500+ 5-star reviews!!!
Promising review: "Absolutely love these shorts! The fit is amazing, and they are so comfortable and match everything. They are roomy but not enough to size down; they're more of a super comfy fit that still makes me feel really good in them! I have the black and the dark blue. Love them both!" —Jacob H.
Get them from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 45 colors and styles).
30. A tulle ruffle-shoulder bodysuit for anyone who loves to keep their money where they can see it — hanging in their closet.
Promising review: "Love this bodysuit!! I wore it for my birthday brunch and felt bougie in all the right ways! I had a ton of girls ask me where I got it and they were shocked when I told them Amazon." —Cassidy Diab
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 11 colors and styles).
31. A tiered mini swing dress that's a no-brainer OOTD option you can toss on with sandals and call it a day.
Promising review: "I bought this dress a week ago and am absolutely in love with it. To the point I just ordered three more in different colors! This will be my go-to dress for this spring and summer! I cannot wait until my others arrive!" —Morgan C.
Get it from Old Navy for $40 (available in sizes XS–4X petite, regular, and tall, and two colors).
32. A one-shoulder cow print top with the perfect amount of stretch that you can wear it all day and all night and not feel constricted. It's ~utterly~ perfect.
This top is so comfy cozy and adds a nice pop of pattern to my otherwise neutral wardrobe (this is still a neutral LOL). I've gotten so many compliments on this top and rightfully so — it's fun, supplies killer Y2K vibes, and is all-around a chic wardrobe staple. I love the fit so much I may buy it in more patterns.
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and six patterns).
33. A plush shoulder bag — a perfect combo of furry and floral that looks so Instagram-chic you'll never stop wearing it.
I personally own this bag (that's me on the right!) and I love it. It actually holds quite a bit of stuff and looks fun with a basic graphic tee and jeans like I styled above. The inside is lined with is nice so you don't have things just tossing around on the fur in there. I love the flower pattern as well.
Promising review: "I really wanted a purse that would be trendy during the spring time and also could hold a lot of things in it as well. I think this is a great deal for the price and style that it came in. I love that there is protection inside so if anything gets stained then it’s easy to clean up. I’m definitely thinking about getting different styles and patterns of this purse for different seasons!" —Posh.Spixe
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 16 styles/patterns).
34. A breezy dress with puff sleeves that honestly seems like a wardrobe option out of the "Love Story" Taylor Swift music video. Honestly, more of a reason to buy it...
FYI, this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "Love this dress! I want it in pretty much every color. For me, I don’t need to wear a bra and that’s a total plus! It’s super light for the humid summer days in Virginia. I have it in orange as well and hope to wear it into the cooler months." —Ava Massey
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 19 colors).
35. A baguette ring to add some sparkle and shine to your fresh mani that looks like a million bucks.
This is my most beloved ring at the moment and I've wanted one in this exact style for some time now. I love the asymmetrical placement of the stones where they're not in a perfect aligned shape, it adds some character. It honestly looks fab when I wear it on any finger — thumb, index, middle finger (it truly doesn't matter, it looks good ALWAYS). I've washed my hands a bunch with it too and I've seen no signs of wear and tear. This is a jewelry ~steal.~
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes 5–9 and seven finishes/styles).
36. An MLE cloud claw clip for keeping handy on days you just want to toss your hair up — fashionably of course.
MLE is a woman-owned, New York-based brand whose focus to create fashionable accessories that are sustainable and bold.
I own this claw clip and absolutely adore it. It's actually the perfect size for my hair...I have a few other claw clips from other brands and they're actually a bit large for my hair so it tends to fall out. This one is such an accessory statement and is really durable. I need it in every color.
Promising review: "This clip is so gorgeous and actually holds my hair. I have straight fine hair and I feel like most clips never work. My hair always slips through and falls out, but this clip holds it in all day, for real. Again, so gorgeous and elegant. A statement piece to go with any outfit. I plan to buy more so I can have all the colors!" —Tiffany W.
Get it from MLE for $28 (available in three colors).
