    Promising review: "I purchased this bodysuit to wear to a concert and didn’t think I would ever wear it again, but I was PLEASANTLY shocked with how amazing it turned out. I have a larger bust but a smaller waist so I ordered a small, the fit was perfect. The straps adjust really well and everyone LOVED my outfit." —Hope Perkins

I love how I can just throw it on, add earrings and a pair of flats or heels, and I get compliments for being nicely dressed. I love the pockets! Whenever I take a trip, this easily packable dress comes with me. I bought grey and blue, and then this year I bought green. All are true to color." —PAM

    Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical when I bought a pair of these because I'm just always wary when buying clothes online. But now they are my new favorite shorts!! The waist is elastic so it's comfortable to wear and easy to slip on and off, plus it defines my waist wayy better than any other high-waisted shorts I've worn." —Savalla

    Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in five colors).

    9. A relaxed-fit tank crafted from a soft fabric that will be worn, and I am not exaggerating, for all of the following: naps, yoga, coffee runs, paired with denim for dinner dates, more naps, more naps, and more naps. 

    model wearing white tank
    H&M

    Get it from H&M for $12.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in three colors). 

    10. High-waisted leggings, aka the bread and butter of any WFH wardrobe. These provide awesome compression, come in a variety of fab solids and prints, *plus* have over 7,000 positive reviews.

    Promising review: "These are the best pair of leggings I own, period. I've been a Fabletics fan for quite a while, but these are the new favorite. I'd say they're similar to the Lululemon Align, but that's not being fair to these leggings. The Lulus were not squat-proof, lighter weight, not a good fit, and didn't look good. These look amazing, feel amazing, and are squat-proof. I'll definitely be ordering more." —Amazon Customer

    Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 26 patterns).

    11. An A-line midi dress I hereby declare as my "It looks like I tried, but I really didn't" outfit. This cutout one-and-done look polished, semi-fancy, and the breezy material feels divine.

    Promising review: "I absolutely loved this dress for my trip to Cabo. Received so many compliments on it, the material is good quality, and didn’t wear a bra at all (I wear a 34DD)." —Christie B.

    Get it from Amazon for $28.95+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 29 colors).

    12. A cropped rib tank perfect for spooky weather. Why? It goes perfectly under denim jackets and blazers, but can be worn on its lonesome when it's simply too hot — because the last time I went pumpkin picking in early October, I practically roasted under the sun. 

    model wearing the black and white tank
    Yellow The Label

    Get it from Yellow The Label for $39 (available in sizes XS–L).

    Express

    14. A boho-inspired mini dress that is equal parts comfy and chic: breezy fabric makes it perfect for hot days (*begins to sweat at the the thought of humidity*), the fun pattern make for an obligatory Insta story.

    Promising review: "It's long enough as a tunic top for me to wear with leggings. It's super cute and is a breathable fabric. I live in Texas where the heat is sweltering so I'd only wear this out to dinner during the summer months but during the cooler months, this will be adorable to wear with leggings." —Dagogirl

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes 0X–4X and in eight colors).

    Promising review: "This was an amazing buy! I love the fit, style, and color. The fabric is soft and still stretchy. It doesn’t wrinkle easily which I loved. Was the perfect Valentine’s Day outfit piece." —Kim 

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 36 colors). 

    22. A V-neck sleeveless dress blissfully constructed with a longer hemline. This means that, unlike the traditional bodycon dresses hanging untouched in your closet, your ~assets~ won't be on the brink of exposure with every step — no constant riding up and pulling down!

    the black dress
    reviewer wearing the tie dye dress

    Promising review: "I fell in love with the blue, tie-dye print of this dress when I saw it. It looks just how it does in the product photos. The bottom is figure hugging but not super tight, love how the side seam is ruched, and the top has a slightly looser fit and is slightly pleated at the waist because of the elastic. The straps are the perfect length for me which rarely happens! I love how quick and easy it is to pull on. It doesn’t ride up, the material is light and soft but not see through. It is just a really comfortable dress that I will wear a lot." —Eagle

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 11 colors).

    23. An off-shoulder jumpsuit because in the year that won't be named (*ahem* literally the one we are living in now), the impossible has happened: we've gotten sick of leggings. This simple number provides all the comfort from our once beloved staple but looks far more put-together.

    It's a wide leg silhouette but, if you prefer a more fitted look, there's enough excess material to tie around your ankles (exhibit in the left photo above).

    Promising review: "I love this jumpsuit.The material is so soft and stretchy that I could probably sleep in it. I’ve gotten many compliments on it. and it's great for running errands, parties, even work if you pair it with a sweater or blazer. I’m so glad I purchased." —Hibah

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in nine colors).

    24. A matching set perfectly paired together but, and I'm sorry to state the obvious, you can mix and match with any wardrobe item. Pair the bodycon midi with your favorite white cami, the vibrant crop top with your favorite high-waisted denim, and the story goes on.

    Reviewers mention that this set (particularly the top) runs on the small side.

    Promising review: "I never ever EVER write reviews but I just had to because I was just blown away with what I got on here. I wore this to Chicago this past weekend for a girls' trip and this was the most comfortable two-piece ever. It’s ribbed and stretchy so definitely hugs your curves. I could’ve gone with a large for a looser fit as it was a little tight on the band around the waist but I think the medium was perfect for me." —Arshi 

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in nine colors). 

    25. A sleeveless swing mini for impromptu wine nights with le pals, grocery store runs, fancier dinners (simply add in some heels), etcetera. Versatility is this dress' strongest suit.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "This dress is so comfortable! The material is stretchy and soft and does not cling to your body.

It's fantastic!" —Susan Kirby

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes 1X–4X and four colors).

    28. deep-V mini dress I am dubbing my birthday party dress, aka the thing I will slip on for every birthday party going forward. The group chat: "What are you wearing?" Me: You already know.

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in five colors).

    29. A one-shoulder crop top, because this is equally as comfortable as your favorite basic cami but about 10x more trendy. Your future fashion blog awaits.

    Madewell

    Get it from Madewell for $128 (available in sizes XXS–XXL). 

    32. A two-piece set with unstoppable power due to the following: a tailored fit. The ruching hides side ties on the skirt that can change length and rise (a mini, midi, or maxi style is yours for the taking), plus the top offers adjustable straps. 

    Promising review: "I love this set! Simple and super cute. It is well made and an absolute steal for the price. The skirt is adjustable in length, so it can be short or midi depending on your mood. There are adjustable straps with the top so you are able to wear this with outlay bra because it does give great support." —Tiff J. 

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in seven colors). 

    33. smocked mini dress I bet you're already envisioning for your next outdoor barbecue-party-of-one. That's right, ~dress~ up for yourself. But maybe take a mirror picture. For Instagram. Just in case.

    Promising review: "I can't stop sharing how much I LOVE this sports bra. It is 100% my new favorite bra to work out in, lounge in, wear out, etc. It fits me so well, has GREAT support, and once I put it on, I don't have to worry about a thing. I also love that I can wear this with shorts or as a cute crop top during the summer." —Bekah Kinne

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available sizes S–XL and 10 colors).

    36. spaghetti strap bodycon that is IT. And by IT, I mean the dress you'll want to wear to that eventual birthday party for your little cousin who has sprung into a fully formed 21-year-old — and that wants to *takes a deep breath* go to a club for their birthday. 

    Promising review: "OK so to be completely honest, when I received this dress and unpacked it I was extremely disappointed. The fabric was really thin and it seems like the quality was not good at all. I had every intention of returning it. But for some reason, I decided why not? Let me go ahead and try it on and see how it fits. I could not be happier. This dress hugs your curves in the best way. Do not be discouraged at how thin the material is when you first open it. It is definitely a dress that you have to put on to truly see how amazing it is. I am soooo happy that I decided to go ahead and try it on anyway. You NEED this dress in your life. I'm ordering the other colors immediately." —Jane Domino

    Get it from Amazon for $18.88+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 12 colors).

    37. A leopard print cami with adjustable straps, a smocked back panel, and a flounce hem, the latter of which guarantees a bit of extra air flow on days when the weather can best be described as "no anti-perspirant will be enough."
