    37 Trendy Fashion Pieces To Try If You Wanna Branch Out From Your Usual Leggings And T-Shirt Getup

    OMG I love your skirt, where did you get it...

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

    1. A pair of cute, flowy running shorts because if your closet consists of a lot of athleisure pieces, you'll surely want to add these to your repertoire.

    Promising review: "I was looking for reasonably priced workout shorts and was shocked at the Lulu price tag. I happened to stumble upon these and decided to give them a shot. They’re a perfect copy at half the price. Purchased in several colors and seriously want more. Telling all my friends about them!" —Mommyof2

    Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and 36 colors).

    2. A high-neck cropped tank in case your wardrobe is crying out for some good,  solid go-to basics you can wear a bajillion times and never get sick of.

    Psst — this is available on Prime Try Before You Buy so you can try it on before committing to purchasing! 

    Promising review: "Guys, I am the queen of returns. When I tell you I've tried at least 15 crop tops over the last few months only to send each and every one back, you should know that I'm picky. This top is amazing. It has a stretchy spandex feel (almost feels like swimsuit material), which I prefer over a thin cotton fabric. It's very easy to wear without a bra and sits in a nice location on my waist — not too short and nice to wear with a high-waisted skirt or yoga pants. I would honestly probably work out in this top." —Sarah O'Brien

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 16 colors). 

    3. A comfy off-the-shoulder jumpsuit for an easy outfit option you can throw on with some fun accessories.

    Psst — this is available on Prime Try Before You Buy so you can try it on before committing to purchasing! 

    Promising review: "Love this jumpsuit! The material is great quality and not sheer at all, and feels soft. The top can be worn as a normal top with sleeves or you can wear it off the shoulders for a different look. I’m a big fan of the jogger-style legs and how they taper at the bottom. I often wear this as a casual outfit around the house, but it’s also easy to dress up for a night out! Fits true to size." —Jen G. 

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 31 colors).

    4. High-waisted rolled denim shorts in a timeless paper bag shape that'll look effortless and feel comfortable.

    Psst — this is available on Prime Try Before You Buy so you can try it on before committing to purchasing! 

    Promising review: "These are the best summer shorts. I wish I had these in multiple colors. The fit is spot-on. I purchased the blue denim and the black and both are great colors, but I want more colors. I also love the elastic waistline." —doub515

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors).

    5. A pair of loose overalls that are the perfect amount of roomy and comfy while still looking put together.

    Promising review: "I have gotten so many compliments on these overalls! I was looking for something comfortable and light enough to wear during the summer since I'm not a big fan of shorts. I love them so much I ordered another pair in blue!" —Cynthia Cahalen

    Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 21 colors/patterns). 

    6. Or a flowy shorts jumpsuit for the same effect just ~breezier~.

    Promising review: "Great romper! The material is so soft and airy, but not see-through. It fits perfectly and washes well (I hung it up to dry). It is loose on the top, so a cami or a sports bra might look better as it may show, and it is a good length on the bottom so that it doesn’t look like booty shorts. I am purchasing another in a different color because it will become a staple of my wardrobe!" —ArmyWife

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 17 colors/patterns).

    7. A lace sleeve tee if T-shirts are your comfort zone when it comes to fashion but this one has a bit more ~pizzazz~ than the slew of basic ones you already own.

    Torrid

    Get it from Torrid for $19.75 (originally $39.50; available in sizes 10–30 and two colors).

    8. A ruffle knit tank — aka any pair of pant's 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 $22.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 33 colors/styles). 

    9. A high-waisted swing skirt for those days when you wanna turn your favorite album on and twirl around your house in true Lizzie McGuire "The Tide Is High" fashion.

    Promising review: "I love, love, love this skirt! I love it so much that I immediately bought four more in different colors. It’s high waisted and the perfect length without being too short. If you’re on the fence...get the skirt! I found the polka-dotted ones are true to size while the florals are more snug with less stretch." —Kara DeBie

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 39 colors/prints).

    10. High-rise relaxed Levi's jeans because some days, skinny jeans are just not it.

    Psst — this is available on Prime Try Before You Buy so you can try it on before committing to purchasing it!

    Promising review: "I loved the dark blue denim I chose! They feel so high quality. They're a bit stiff so you do have to break them in, but I prefer that because my stiffer jeans seem to last longer. They fall at my ankle perfectly. I sized up because the reviews recommended I do so, and I'm glad I did because they fit really well! They're an absolute staple — comfortable and the style is so in right now! Very pleased with my purchase, especially because this style of jeans usually retails for around $90+ elsewhere." —Jade

    Get it from Amazon for $36.04+ (available in sizes 24–39 and 14 colors).

    11. A skater skirt we're pretty sure Avril Lavigne would've swooned over during her "Sk8r Boi" era.

    Pay attention to the numbers on the waistbands as they are different!

    Promising review: "I've been buying these skirts for three years now, so I'm likely far overdue for a review so here I am! I've never had a Made by Johnny skirt that I haven't loved; they're good quality and they last like no other. I've owned about 20 of these in nearly every shade and have never been disappointed. I've only had to replace them due to weight loss and the ones I've passed down to friends are still as beautiful and flowy as the day I received them. I truly ALWAYS come back to this brand and skirt whenever I know I need one or just want a new color. I cannot recommend these enough. Johnny's never let me down on being reasonably priced, beautifully colored, comfortable, and adorably flowy. To my plus-size ladies, look carefully for the larger waistband that are on some of these! It truly helps with the high waisted feel/look." —Sydney

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 43 colors).

    12. A strapless mesh bustier you can feel confident purchasing because it'll pair well with both pants and skirts. Imagine it with a cute tulle skirt? Carrie Bradshaw would certainly approve.

    Promising review: "Wow. Looks way better than expected. Does have some stretch to it, and really not that uncomfortable. I’m normally an XL in tight tops and an XL fits perfect. Not too tight in the waist but supports the boobs." —Lauren

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in nine colors). 

    13. A crisscross halter neck top for days your outfit inspo is sporty and chic.

    Get it from Asos for $32 (available in sizes 14–20).

    Psst — this is available on Prime Try Before You Buy so you can try it on before committing to purchasing! 

    Promising reviews: "I purchased this dress last minute for my birthday and absolutely loved it. I received a lot of compliments and felt confident wearing this dress. It wasn’t sheer at all and the material is very soft. Definitely will purchase in other colors!" —laniya

    "This dress is amazing! The fabric is so soft and silky but also has structure and because the sides are ruched, I can adjust it to the perfect length, which means a lot when you're only 5'1". The ruching allows me to control the amount of fabric gathered in the tummy and behind areas. To sum it all up, I LOVE the dress and plan on purchasing at least two more in the army green and the brown because this style dress can also be worn in the fall and spring months with a basic or colored denim jacket and a cute pair of boots or booties!" —Tonya

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 27 colors/styles).

    15. A flowy pair of palazzo pants that are work approved and are perfect for everyday wear. You'll wanna snag these in numerous colors.

    Promising reviews: "I ordered the cream pants to use on a summer vacation. I was very happy to receive high-quality pants. They were comfortable, breathable, and not transparent. I am very satisfied with this purchase, and I highly recommend it." —Rose

    "I ended up buying five pairs in different colors and talked a friend into one. (She loves them.) These are top quality. Tailored like fine trousers. Extremely comfortable, soft, flowing material. I can wear year round. Fit is perfect. Washed with no problem. I pressed a little because I like a polished look. They do not wrinkle with wearing. Bonus was they are such a good price!!!" —Chris

    Get it from Amazon for $22.39+ (available in sizes XS–2X, short and regular lengths, and a variety of colors).

    16. A ruffled sleeve pleated-skirt dress 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 $47.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 11 colors/styles).

    17. A flowy ruffled-hem dress your washing machine will be tired of seeing because of how often you'll end up wearing (and washing) it.

    Psst — this is available on Prime Try Before You Buy so you can try it on before committing to purchasing! 

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress — it fits perfectly and it's so adorable. The first day I wore it I got so many compliments and it was so comfortable. It was nice to wear as a dress or even a long shirt with leggings. The color is really cute too. I definitely recommend it and will probably buy more in different colors!" —Jasmine Ball

    Get it from Amazon for $21.69+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 18 colors/styles).

    18. A cropped knit sweater for a more playful wardrobe option that's killer when styled with denim.

    Promising review: "After two months of having this sweater in my cart I finally caved and bought it and I wish I would have purchased it sooner! I get so many compliments on it, everyone wants to know where I got it. It’s easy to dress up or down. I say it’s a 10/10!" —Whitney

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 13 colors/styles).

    19. A pair of high-waisted flowy pants that kindaaaa look like a skirt but are in fact pants — which means your inner thighs will thank you for not exposing them to the possibility of chafing (this pain is all too real).

    Psst — this is available on Prime Try Before You Buy so you can try it on before committing to purchasing! 

    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 $19.98+ (available in sizes S–4XL and 16 colors).

    20. A ribbed knit pencil skirt perfect as a cozy suitable-for-work wardrobe piece that's also comfortable to lounge in.

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 25 colors). 

    21. A loungewear set if your ideal WFH outfit includes being comfy while simultaneously being aesthetic. Wear the top and bottoms together or as separates for even more look options!

    Promising review: "It's a thick, cozy waffle material that you will want to lounge in all day and night! I'm a WFH mama so I don't really get dressed up every day and this is such a great alternative because I still feel cute but am also comfortable! Great set all around. Highly recommend!" —danielle comstock

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 21 colors).

    22. A showstopping pair of striped stretch pants to give your wardrobe that pop of color it deserves.

    Get it from Amazon for $26.70+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 11 colors).

    24. An eight ball pattern knit set that comes with a flowy sleeve sweater and matching shorts. This set is perfect for chilly mornings or nights and will transition beautifully into fall. I love the cut of the sleeves on this sweater!

    Dressed in Lala is a woman-owned small business with a ton of trendy fashion pieces you're sure to love. 

    I was served an Instagram ad for this set and I added it to my cart immediately. I'm a sucker for a good matching set and I have never seen anything like it. I wish I could tell you why I'm drawn to quirky patterns but this one surely takes the cake. I can't wait to wear the sweater with some jeans this fall! For reference, I'm usually a size 12 and am wearing this set in a large! 

    Get it from Dressed in Lala for $102 (available in sizes S–XL).

    25. A chiffon blouse in case your closet needs some pattern (finally), and also some more biz casual options.

    Note: The fabric doesn't have any stretch!

    Promising review: "This is a really great item. It’s a very nice material, and the print is vibrant. It’s not very long so if you’re tall, make sure you’ll want to tuck it into something high waisted. The sleeves are just the tiiiiiniest bit short on me, but as I said, I’m super tall so I’m used to it. I definitely recommend this top!" —Jessica

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes XS–2XL and 25 colors).

    26. A Cher Horowitz-approved plaid mini skirt you'll want to wear all day, every day, without the need of a closet technology system to style your outfit for you...

    Promising review: "I am obsessed with this dress, have it in four colors now and it's always a winner. Washing Tip: Always put these in a delicates bag. I neglected to one time and the zipper on something else really messed up the silky fabric." —Stephanie Verheyen

    Get it from Amazon for $23.98+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 12 colors).

    28. A lightweight, oversized blazer — aka your new go-to fall layering piece. Style it over a hoodie, a sweater, or a simple long sleeve for an instant fall upgrade.

    Promising reviews: "I get so many compliments whenever I wear this coat. It always ties my outfits together and makes me feel spruced up. The weight is really versatile too! It was a godsend when I went to a convention in San Diego. I could wear it over my sleeveless dress in the air conditioning or outside walking by the water and feel very comfortable. I wore it over long sleeved shirts and sweaters with boots in the fall and winter and felt super cute. It's held up well and I couldn't be happier!" —Noneya

    Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and seven prints).

    29. A daisy-covered cardigan to set the next outfit you piece together into full bloom.

    After writing about this set so many times in BuzzFeed posts (and reading the glowing reviews of course), I just had to see what the hype was about. I ordered this in pink for a recent trip to California and it was the comfiest and cutest outfit I've ever worn on a trip. I honestly want to order it in more colors that's how much I love it. It was so effortless to throw on and style — just add a cute bag, some sunnies, and sneakers for a cute and ready-to-go 'fit.

    Promising review: "I love this set! Every time I wear it I get compliments from friends. I also like how open and breathable it is. Texas summers are very hot and I‘m not absolutely dying when I wear this! Very happy with the purchase." —Erika V.

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

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 30 styles and colors).

    33. A flowy, ruffled, V-neck swing dress that undoubtedly would be next to the word "flawless" in the dictionary. I mean this with a clutch bag and heels? Iconic.
