    Fashion Basics Never Go Out Of Style — Here Are 44 Of ‘Em

    It's the era of versatility and timeless pieces...your closet will thank you.

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

    1. A belted romper because it can be worn year-round. It's light enough for summer heat and looks just as good with a pair of cozy tights in the winter.

    Promising reviews: "This romper is so beautiful and classy! It is not see-through. It is lined. The buttons are functional (nursing friendly)." —Lauren Fuquay

    "I love this romper! It's so easy to slip on and look 'dressed up' with wedges or wear casually with flip-flops. It's made of really soft material that breathes so you don't die of sweat in the summer. I love the wrap-around tie belt so you can adjust how tight it is. It's plenty long in the crotch area as well so I'm not bunched up. Thinking this is the perfect outfit for Thanksgiving in Arizona. Buying in more colors. I sure do love when I find a brand/seller that works! Online shopping can always be a pain but not with this one!" —SmithHaus

    Get it from Amazon for $36.59 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 17 colors).

    2. A basic cropped tee with a twist — literally. The twist-front steps it up from a normal plain white tee, while it's still comfortable enough to lounge around the house in.

    Promising reviews: "I got this shirt to workout in/lounge in. It is very comfy for both... the stretch and the front knot is very [cute]. Definitely a keep!" —Elizabeth Redwine

    "OK so I wouldn't say that I'm a huge fam of crop tops...BUT I have been wanting a crop to wear with high waisted midi skirts and dresses and voila!! The shirt is actually pretty thick so you can't see the outline of the dresses too much. I'm really digging it for layering and I like it better than the DIY tied white tee look. SO if you are turned off by crop tops, consider it as a way to wear even more clothes and not just less!😂" —FerristOfThemAll

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 17 colors/patterns).

    3. A pair of light wash Levi's jeans that'll last for many spring seasons to come. These ribcage straight ankle jeans also happen to be TikTok famous for being cute on every body type!

    Promising review: "I was nervous to wear these at first because I usually only wear skinny jeans and don't branch out much with fashion trends. I like to stick to 'safe/boring' styles. But after trying them on and testing them out, I discovered they are LITERALLY my favorite pants... I can literally wear them ALL different ways. Strappy heals, flats, loafers, vans, booties, you name it. I am SO pleased and I feel so confident wearing them. They fit my waist like they were tailored just for me. I have an hour glass figure and I LOVE how high and fitted the waist is. I ordered my usual size in Levi's and they fit great. A nice hug, but nothing uncomfortable. These pants are SO on trend right now. I encourage anyone to give them a try... you'll be pleasantly surprised!!" —Spades

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes 24–32 and 13 washes).

    4. A quilted jacket sure to become your go-to when you're rushing out the door to meet your besties for your weekly spill-the-tea sessions. It's both casual and chic at the same time, and will probably be worn daily.

    Promising reviews: "THE BEST CASUAL JACKET. Finally bit the bullet and got this jacket for myself. I am so glad I did! I wear it almost every day, perfect for fall and spring or even cooler summer nights. It’s amazing quality." —hgoulding0824

    "I’m obsessed, what can I say! They’re the perfect weight, large enough for layering over sweaters and heavier knits, and are a great pillow when traveling. I have three different sizes (XS, S, M) and love all of them. I would most recommend sticking true to size for a perfect slouchy fit." —daybrighten

    Get it from Free People for $198 (available in sizes XS–XL and in nine colors).

    5. tiered dress for a sweet and classy look. If you're wondering how to make this casual look a nighttime 'fit, just throw on a trendy leather blazer, a pair of chunky boots, and step out with your besties!

    Promising reviews: "This dress is perfect; so comfortable and cute. Can wear with sneakers or dress up with heels." —Paige Kim

    "Very comfortable and cool (great in hot weather), cute enough to dress up for wine tastings, and it has pockets large enough to hold your phone, keys, snacks (shrimp? You do you). A stranger even complimented me on it so 10/10 all around." —Mira

    Get it from Amazon for $34.70+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 13 colors).

    6. A pair of Converse platform sneakers to keep things cute, simple, and somewhat ~elevated~. These shoes can make a pair of sweats look put together, while still allowing you to feel comfortable.

    Converse

    PS: Reviewers say these run a little large!

    Promising reviews: "I love these Converse. I needed a new pair because my others were just worn out. Cute detail with the black line around the sole to break up the white. Comfy, good height for the platform, and great price." —Kevans15

    "I love that I can wear them with either casual or dressy outfits. It makes them very versatile and worth the money." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $75 (available in sizes 5–11 and two color combos).

    7. A midi skirt with a side slit and a floral all over. It'll pair perfectly with a whimsical blouse or plain white tee. All you need is a killer pair of shoes to radiate the perfect spring vibes!

    A reviewer posing in the black and white skirt

    Promising review: "Cute midline split skirt. I’ve seen the trend but it’s been hard finding a skirt that fits in person so I came to Amazon. This is probably the third or fourth skirt of this type I ordered from various companies and this fits the BEST. It’s a great thin material, but not see through. The slit is the perfect balance between classy and sexy. I see it being worn with sandals, then boots and a sweater for the winter. I live in Florida so this is the perfect material for here. Not too thick." —sim simma

    Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available for XS–XXL and in 30+ colors).

    8. A square neck Bramisuit, aka comfortable bodysuit with a built-in bra! It's cute as heck and anything that eliminates the need to wear a bra deserves a gold medal IMO.

    The Klassy Network

    The Klassy Network is a woman-owned small business that has taken the fashion industry by storm after creating STYLISH tops and bodysuits with built-in padding. Each item has a different level of support (band-less, compressive band, or shelf bra) and all are double lined for function and comfort. 

    Promising reviews: "This is hands-down my favorite bodysuit and the easiest thing to grab when I’m trying to look put together especially in the office. The padding in the front makes it so there are no bra lines to worry about and the material hugs your body in a really nice way! 10 out of 10. 🖤 " —Gabrielle C. 

    "Aaaaaa!! No joke best [bodysuit] I have ever owned! I’m DD and felt supper supported! So soft. No lines...Love the wide neckline with no bra straps poking out. I’m amazed! I was hesitant on the body suit part but it was comfortable and easy to get on and off with buttons at bottom." —Ashley C.

    Get it from Klassy Network for $48 (available in sizes XXS–3XL and in three colors).

    9. A pair of high-waisted lounge pants so comfortable, you might just wear them all season long.

    Madewell

    Promising reviews: "The comfiest yoga pants ever! I am so happy I bought these leggings! I was nervous they were going to be too small, but they fit perfectly. They are super high waisted and very stretchy." —BrookL

    "Best leggings I own. The way I want to buy six more pairs of these so I can wear them every day of the week??? I am seriously obsessed with these leggings. I love the comfort and style of these, and cannot take them off!" —SARAHS23

    Get it from Madewell for $49.99+ (available in sizes XXS–3X and in colors black and cream).

    10. A puff-sleeve dress with drool-worthy details like a square neck and adjustable sleeves you can wear on or off-the-shoulder. A must-have when warmer weather comes your way.

    another reviewer wearing the brown dress with white cowboy boots

    Promising review: "Loved this dress! Wore for an outdoor wedding. No regrets... The dress is lined and wasn’t too short, just short enough to feel fun! I had to steam it before wearing but it wasn’t too bad out of the package. Overall loved it! So comfy and even held up the ta-tas pretty well. I wore a strapless bandeau bra (no wire) and couldn’t believe that worked!" —Courtney Ramser

    Get it from Amazon for $40.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 17 colors).

    And a VERY similar version in plus sizes (L–4X) for $43.99 (available in seven colors).

    11. A comfortable pair of biker shorts that are the stylish, socially acceptable form of PJs we all love to wear (even with zero intentions of getting on a bike). They come in a ton of different colors and patterns, too!

    a different reviewer wearing the leopard print biker shorts

    Promising reviews: "Highly recommend these shorts. Soft, thick, stretch material, not see through at all. Shorts are long enough to prevent chaffing and [are also] high waisted. I ordered a Large in black and the size fit as expected, true to size. Will be ordering another pair." —E. R.

    "These are my favorite biker shorts I’ve bought!... I love that they’re longer and they did not ride up at all. I didn’t have to do any always adjusting during my [spin class]. The top has a little bit of compression, but not so much that it’s uncomfortable when you sit...Highly recommend and I will probably buy more for the summer!" —Zachary Fiehweg

    Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in sizes XS–5X and in 17 colors).

    12. A cozy oversized collared sweater because it will easily become a new favorite in your closet. It's super thick for warmth, but that long collar makes it super stylish too.

    A reviewer wearing the striped sweater

    Promising reviews: "Giving my first Amazon review!! This sweater is absolutely the best! Super soft and it fits a little oversized which I love. I’ll definitely order again in other colors." —Lindsie

    "Great quality. Sweater was way more thick than expected. Not as cropped as you think. Great for the price." —Texas

    Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 19 colors).

    13. A stylish overall jumpsuit to take a casual T-shirt to the next level. It's got deep pockets, has a comfy oversized fit, and even comes in tons of cute prints!

    reviewer wearing the sage green romper over a white top
    a reviewer in red

    Promising review: "I got this to be sort of a summer into fall transition item and I’m so surprised by how comfortable it is! If you like things to fit snugly on you, don’t bother getting this because it is loose everywhere unless you tighten it all the way, but it’s super breathable and comfortable! Especially for layering!" —Brie Parry

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes XS–5XL and 13 colors). 

    14. tie-front t-shirt dress because it's an instant cute outfit without the effort. It'll look great with slippers and heeled boot alike, and I think that's what everyone wants in a fashion piece.

    Promising review: "[This dress is] like wearing pajamas out and about, yet looking very EFFORTLESSLY put together. I bought one in blush, grey, blue AND green. I love this dress. Accentuate your CURVES with this dress. I cannot stress it more. It has a modest neckline and shows JUST enough leg. You can tie the belt waist as tightly as you want to show off your waist. Tie it loose after a buffet. Tie it tight when you're feeling fabulous. It's fantastic. I really bought this in as many colors as I could." —Amy

    Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 24 colors).

    And here's a similar dress in plus sizes (L–4X) for $29.99+.

    15. knit pullover and shorts set which includes a balloon-sleeve top that would look great with jeans on a night out and looks even better with the matching shorts while you chill on the couch.

    a different reviewer wears the light blue version

    Promising review: "Perfect loungewear set! Shorts are a bit baggy but (luckily) the drawstring string at the waist is real. The slouchy fit is very comfy and relaxed. Sweater also looks super cute with jeans!" —Elizabeth

    Get it from Amazon for $40.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 20 colors and styles).

    16. A floral wrap dress that has the perfect hidden pockets on each side. After every compliment you receive (and there will be many) you'll want to shout, "and it has pockets too!"

    Promising review: "This dress fit me amazingly, it’s adorable and I will be wearing it to an upcoming wedding. Seriously so comfy as well, the material, the pockets, it’s breathable. Just love everything about this dress."  —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes 14–26 and in 14 colors).

    17. A bold handbag for putting all of your essentials in one stylish, vegan-leather place. This purse is tiny but mighty and can fit everything you need.

    JW Pei is an Asian-, family-owned brand with minimalist purses that are made with sustainable vegan materials.

    Promising review: "Absolutely love this little purse...This falls into the small-purse category, but there’s still ample space inside. Can fit my phone, lip gloss, mascara, blush, brow pencil, bill folder, keys, even my small battery-powered fan and I’ll still have space left. I like to wear it on my shoulder, the strap is the perfect length. I also love the bean shape; it looks luxe and gives it character. Material isn’t cheap at all. Overall a gorgeous addition to my collection & well worth the money." —Nelly

    Get it from Amazon for $50.14 (available in 22 colors/styles).

    18. A slouchy cardigan that's a cute basic you'll get tons of wear out of. Reviewers rave that it's super lightweight and comfortable, too.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Didn’t realize I would end up wearing this sweater every single day. I should probably wash it, but I’m not sure I’m ready to part with it for even 30 minutes while it’s in the washer. :) Love the color too, I got the pink/purple one and it’s so cute. If you want to own a super comfortable cardigan — get it!! Usually wear a size S but ordered an L because I was going for the oversized look and OMG I love it so much!!" —Mary L

    Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in sizes S–XL and seven colors).

    19. Retro rectangle sunglasses to block the sun and the haters. This affordable (and durable!) pair are great for those warm and sunny spring days. Just ask the 11,000+ people who gave them 5 stars!

    a reviewer wearing the black shades
    A reviewer wearing the sunglasses with the leopard frame and brown lenses

    Promising reviews: "Very chic. Comes with microfiber glasses pouch. Feel durable, not flimsy like most cheap sunglasses. The black ones are my favorite. Gave the other pair to my mom. She loves them." —Love_Jailene

    "Wow these are great especially for the price. Can’t beat it. Got pricier ones that I didn’t want to wear for a trip so I purchased these, similar style...They are not flimsy at all, great sun protection, and stylish (in my opinion). Def wearing them again." —NickLex

    Get them from Amazon for $11.95 (available in 32 styles and multiple packs).

    20. An oversized sweater vest with the option to wear it solo in the spring, over a turtleneck in the fall, and lots more. And when there's a fashion item that makes leaps between seasons, that means you'll need it in every color.

    Promising review: "This vest is adorable! It’s super soft and it’s nice and thick — very good quality. It looks like it would cost a lot more than it did! Very cute!" —Margaret F.

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes S–L and 11 colors/styles).

    21. A ruffle mini skirt made with soft, breathable fabric and features a faux wrap tie design and comfy lightweight material.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this skirt! I got so many compliments on it. It’s one of my favorites now...The length was perfect, not too short just short enough. The fabric is light enough to not be hot outside in the heat but not see through at all." —Ashley Smith

    Get it from Amazon for $23.98 (available in sizes XS–3X and in 14 colors/patterns).

    22. A graphic tee great for when you want to throw on a casual outfit, but don't necessarily want a plain, solid-colored shirt.

    House of Paven / Etsy

    House of Paven is a woman-owned small biz based in Miami, Florida. Shop owner Sofia Paven creates tons of cool and unique graphic tees, so be sure to check out the Etsy shop for more!

    Promising review: "This shirt is sooo cute and great material. Very comfortable." —Tansi Boyce

    "Such a cute shirt, got it in two colors! I ordered a large just to be on the safe side but I think I could have gotten away with a medium. It is a true unisex fit. Was a little long, so I just cropped it!" —Olivia Marie

    Get it from House of Paven on Etsy for $21.49+ (available in sizes S–4X and 17 colors).

    23. OR a classic plain white tee because those are still *very* important to keep in your closet, too! 

    Promising review: "This shirt is so much more expensive looking than it was! It’s not sheer or too see through at all. The fabric is thicker than a cheap T-shirt and drapes nicely. It doesn’t cling too tightly or get baggy with wear....I would definitely recommend this shirt as a wardrobe staple for layering or just a laid back jeans and tee kind of look." —my_airpods_died1235

    Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 12 colors). 

    24. A *very* comfortable cowl neck top that's just as elegant as it is versatile. The silky material works beautifully for wedding guest 'fits, and will look just as great for brunch with friends the next day.

    Promising review: "I love this top! The material is of great quality, it’s soft, and not see through at all. It fits me perfectly, not too tight, not too loose. This light green color is so cute, pics do not do it justice... The adjustable straps allow for an even more perfect fit!" —Jena

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available for 4–20 and in 13 colors).

    25. A set of stackable necklaces to expand (or finally begin) your dainty layering collection. You'll get two to four different necklaces depending on which set you choose, each that looks adorable on its own and even better together.

    a reviewer wearing two necklaces together
    another reviewer wearing two gold necklaces

    Promising review: "I wear this necklace almost every day! It’s the perfect delicate accessory to almost everything I wear. I tend to wear the crossbar piece by itself A LOT but I LOVE how you can do any of the pieces together and separate! I initially didn’t know if I would like that only because I have several layered necklaces that are all one piece and they are convenient to put on, but I am loving this option! All pieces are very lightweight and do not rub or pull on the neck and the clasp is easy to latch. One small thing is the longest necklace tends to slide around, showing the clasp throughout the day, and I have to keep making sure it’s not showing. Otherwise great necklace and I will buy again to make sure I keep an extra on hand for myself or a gift." —Shaundrajoy

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 30 designs).

    26. A spaghetti-strapped skater dress that has the cutest lace detail and a gorgeously designed waist bow in back to pull it all together.

    Promising review: "I have worn this out twice since received and I got soooo many compliments on it! Fits perfectly, great stitching and best of all ITS NOT SEE-THROUGH!! I will definitely get a lot of wear this summer. Perfect for summer date nights when it’s hot and humid but you still want to look cute!" —Gina Knight

    Get it from Amazon for $42.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 26 colors/styles).

    27. A pair of high-waisted pencil pants with a bow hem with pockets, an adjustable waist, and tons of colors to choose from. (There's over 30! 🤯) Reviewers can't stop raving about these pants, with many wearing them during eight-hour work days — so you know they'll be comfy enough to dance in all night long!

    Promising review: "Absolutely obsessed!! I want alllll the colors! They fit perfectly, so comfortable, and SUPER cute and stylish! I get tons of compliments on them. Excellent quality and light, breathable fabric. Since I’m short, they fit right at my ankle and waistline. You will not be disappointed!" —M. Keene

    Promising review: "These are my new favorite go-to work pants. I fell in love with high-waisted pants for my office wear. I give 5 stars. Buying more in other colors as we speak! Hold up nicely in the wash too! I’ve washed and dried mine two times now — perfect!" —Heather and Alex

    Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 40 colors, also available in sets of two or three).

    28. A cozy hoodie to replace the old one you've had for years. It has pockets, a hood, and the cutest cropped design that'll make even a chill look a little more fashionable. You'll feel like Hailey Bieber running errands in athleisure — chic and comfy.

    Promising reviews: "I love this pullover. It’s very comfy, and I like the length. I ordered a small, and it fits kinda oversized, which I really like. The material is similar to Lululemon but for a fraction of the price." —CC

    "I rarely ever write reviews, but I got the light gray version of this sweatshirt, and it is SO CUTE and such high quality. ... The thumb holes work great and arm length is totally fine! Would highly recommend." —L. McIntosh

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 22 colors).

    29. A pair of faux leather leggings that'll help you enter a totally different realm of fashion. Style is important, but these beauts ensure you don't have to compromise on comfort either.

    Promising reviews: "These pants are so worth every penny. I’ve never gotten so many compliments or had complete strangers ask where my pants were from but every one wanted to know where these were from!!! You will not be disappointed!!" —Mamabear & Babycakes

    "You guys... these are seriously the most amazing leggings ever. They looked so small coming out of the package, but the stretch is [awesome]. They fit like a glove! I know people say that, but I mean seriously, like a glove. No wrinkling around the knees, no camel toe, and they stay up around the waist when moving around and bending (Which is my biggest issue with other leather-look leggings). They look so smooth and shiny on. And they’re SO SOFT. They feel like when you put soft pajama pants on right after shaving and exfoliating. They’re like butter. My mind honestly is having trouble processing how amazing and structured they look with how amazing they feel...The minute I put them on I ordered a second pair."  —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–4X and in four colors).

    30. A long-sleeve Hill House Nap Dress — a sophisticated ensemble that can be worn year-round (and everyone needs one of those in their closet). If that square neck won't convince you, the gorgeous floral print will!

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress! It’s loose, lightweight but not sheer, and great for summer. I wanted something very comfortable for chasing around the kids I babysit in NYC humidity. The slits on both sides make it really easy to move around in without being too risqué. I also love the adjustable straps." —Kat Y.

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 41 colors).

    34. A pair of loafer mules when you want to slip into a sophisticated look as quickly as you can slip into these shoes. Low-effort but cute shoes happen to be one of my favorite things.

    Promising reviews: "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. Footbed is more padded than the designer version. Leather is soft and comfortable on the foot. Sole is not slippery." —Emily Wilson

    Get it from Amazon for $49.89+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 10 colors).

    35. A versatile pair of white denim jeans with an ultra high-rise waist (because I refuse to hop on the low-rise train) and a reputation of being some of the stretchiest jeans *ever*. Reviewers are obsessed!

    Promising reviews: "AMAZING PANTS. I bought these pants a while ago and they are the cutest and most comfortable pants I own. They look cute with any top. I highly recommend these pants!" —Romi

    "LOVE THESE SHOES! I wanted a sandal with the Birks style, but I just can’t afford to buy Birkenstocks right now. I decided to give these a chance, and I am NOT disappointed!...I wear them everyday without any discomfort, it’s like the shoe molded to my feet. I love them and will definitely be ordering another pair in a different color!" —Sam

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in standard and wide sizes 6–12 and in 21 colors).

    37. An off-the-shoulder maxi dress for anyone who doesn't want to sacrifice comfort for style. With this dress, you'll get both!

    Promising review: "So glad I took a risk on this dress because it ended up being one of my favorite dresses that I've ever owned. So much so I want all the colors! It's perfectly snug up top too so if you have a smaller bust like me, the girls still feel secure even without a bra on. I'm 5' tall and it came right to my feet with flats on. Didn't drag or get caught thanks to the dual slits. The dress was flowy and lightweight. I was quite happy with the quality." —J

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–4X and in 38 colors/patterns).

    38. A nice layering rib-knit bolero to take a plain ole tank top and turn it into an ~ensemble~ instantly! Bonus points for being warm and cozy, too.

    I have this bolero in black and it's one of my new favorite closet additions! I love that it keeps me warm *and* allows me to wear a sleeveless tank without ruining my outfit with a jacket that may not match. It's really great for layering, too (perfect for those nights when I need this and jacket for extra warmth)! If you want a more oversized fit, you should definitely order up a size. But overall, 10/10 recommend!

    Beginning Boutique is a woman-owned small biz based in Australia. They're the home of tons of bright and trendy fashion pieces, so be sure to take a look at everything!

    Promising review: "This is my absolute favorite piece. It really goes with most dresses so very versatile. I’m a medium and got the medium, it’s pretty true to size but I think I could have also gone the small for a more fitted look. Highly recommended." —Yvonne M.

    Get it from Beginning Boutique for $49.99 (available in sizes 2–8 and in seven colors).

    39. A pair of linen shorts you can throw on during one of those extra hot days. Whether you're strolling the streets of Italy on vacation or headed to the beach up the street, these beauties will keep you cool and stylish.

    40. A drawstring bodycon dress because it's cute AND comfortable. The high neckline is gorge, but my favorite part is the adjustable ruching on each side.

    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. It hugged all my curves and showed my shape. Definitely will purchase in other colors!" —laniya

    "This dress is A-mazing! 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 $33.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 28 colors and styles).

    41. A long-sleeve cotton jumpsuit for something a bit more casual. The faux wrap style even has a button closure for extra security.

    Promising review: "I love this jumper. Super comfy, perfect fit. The waist is a string tie (not elastic!), which I really like.... The ankles and wrists are stretchy with the perfect amount of 'give' so I can get my feet and hands in and out easily. The fabric is light weight and easy to move, dance, and do yoga in. Of course, it's a v-neck so I wear a cami, sports top or halter underneath. And pockets!" —Debbie

    Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 18 colors).

    42. A beautiful blazer dress you can also wear as a long-line jacket! The stunning double-breasted design makes this piece super easy to style for upscale occasions.

    Promising review: "Just buy it! I was expecting to return it as soon as I got it, BUT I couldn't believe how AMAZING this dress is!!! If you are looking for a WOW statement dress, this is it! I don't think I've felt sexier or have been complimented so many times in a night! I ordered the white and was really impressed by the quality and that it was not see-through!" —ronda lashell

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and in 20 colors). 

    43. A pair of Girlfriend Collective leggings — the OG lounging go-to before matching sets and biker shorts. Reviewers say these babies are ultra comfortable and work great for everything from yoga to lounging around.

    And yes, it has pockets!

    Promising review: "I love these leggings! They are so comfortable and high quality. The material is fairly thick but not too hot. The best part is that the waist is tight enough to stay up when walking, running, etc, but doesn't feel constrictive." —Nicole D.

    Get it from Girlfriend Collective for $88 (available in sizes XXS–6XL, two different lengths, and seven colors).

    44. A luxe Oak + Fort tote that'll beautifully hold all of your essentials (literally ALL. It's so roomy!) — whether they're headed to work, school, or to the Target down the street.

    This was an impulse buy of mine back in 2018 and it's still in the top five of best impulse purchases ever. This was my everyday purse when five-days a week in the office was still my norm, and it's still my go-to when I know a heavy-duty shopping day is ahead. It's really comfortable and lightweight, the strap is the perfect length, it's *stunning* in person, and the inside is extra extra roomy (which is what I love the most). There's enough room for my 13" laptop, notebooks, a small makeup bag, and there's still room to spare. The two front pockets are perfect for things like phone, keys, etc. I love it! 

    Get it from Oak + Fort for $48 (available in nine colors).
