Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A tiered skirt that'll be so comfy and cooling you won't wear anything else this summer. Pair with your fave oversized graphic tee and with your Sambas, and you'll look straight off your Pinterest.
2. A pair of high-waisted trousers with wide legs and an elastic waistband to keep you looking stylish and comfortable. Flowy, lightweight, and perfect for all seasons, catch me wearing every single color of these.
I own one pair of these, and I adore them. I cannot wait to pair these with my waistcoats this summer. Also, I'm 5"1', and the short length works perfectly on me! Also, whenever I wear these, I always get compliments. Plus, they can survive a long day in the city without getting uncomfortable.
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 $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X and in short lengths and 32 colors/patterns).
3. A casual romper if you're looking for an outfit that requires zero thought. If you wake up late and need something that won't overheat you this summer, this is going to be your new best friend.
4. A purple one-shoulder top because you're bored of typical summer tops. While you might not think this purple cropped piece is super versatile, it totally is! You can pair it with neutrals or — if you want to go a bit more colorful like Scooby Doo fashion icon Daphne Blake — even other bold colors (like green).
5. A lightweight two-piece blouse and shorts set that'll complete the ultimate summery look. This will 100% have you looking and feeling as cool as a cucumber. Something worth noting about this set is you don't have to wear the pieces together, so the styling options are limitless.
Promising review: "This set is literally so comfy and cute. It says pajama set, but I would wear this out any day with a cute tank under. It's super lightweight for summer, and sized perfectly." —Gabriella Schilling
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes L–5XL, and 38 colors/styles, and two sleeve lengths).
6. A cropped tank because you could never have too many basics. I know it's not that exciting but basics are the building blocks of so many looks. Versatile and cute, you will 100% look for an excuse to wear this top on any given day.
Promising review: "Love it! It fits perfectly and is exactly what I was looking for. I was skeptical of ordering clothes off Amazon but decided to, and I’m glad I did. I saw this in a TikTok." —Meredith McDonald
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes XS—L and 20 colors).
7. An off-the-shoulder dress so ideal for an impromptu wine-tasting day with the squad. This flowy dress is going to be so breathable even if it is 100 degrees outside.
8. A tie-front satin dress because sometimes you need to bring the "I summer in Europe" vibes even if you're not leaving your city. Maybe dining al fresco with a spritz, you can trick yourself or followers into thinking you're on a vacay.
9. A pair of lightweight wide-leg pants that'll keep you cool and cute all summer long. These bbs are giving coastal chic in the best way and we are obsessed!
Promising review: "I got three pairs of these for a family trip to Hawaii. I wanted something breathable, more so than my cotton knit pants, but that would be OK walking around in. These are fantastic. The fit is loose, and I did order a size up since linen does not stretch. The drawstring kept them plenty tight around my waist, but the legs were baggy and breezy, which is exactly what I wanted. The inseam is a bit short. On the bright side, it does mean that when I wore sandals, the pants were not hitting the ground. They were perfect for the beach, colors were spot on, and they also looked perfect for walking around farmers markets. Quality is great. No, they are not see-through, but I also didn't get white." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.43+ (available in sizes XS–6X and 15 colors).
10. A four-piece workout set to keep you cool during your sweat sess. It was designed with moisture-wicking fabric, so you can work out no matter the heat. The set comes with shorts, leggings, a one-shoulder sports bra, and a regular sports bra. You can also totally wear these separately.
11. A pair of pleated pants with an adjustable waist since our bodies are constantly changing, even over the course of a day! For a fun monochromatic moment, try pairing the pants with a button-down in the same color. You can thank me later for how cool you'll look and feel.
Promising review: "Soft and breathable. I love these pants so much that I bought a second pair; I bought them in black for work, and I find myself choosing them over all of my other (more expensive) work pants. I wound up buying the teal because in the picture it looked like a deeper, rich color; they're actually more vibrant and light, but I still love them anyway. Be sure to wear skin tone underwear; they're unfortunately a little sheer." —Rebecca Sarraga
Get it from Amazon for $19.75 (available in one size or S–XL and 25 colors).
12. A pair of sweat shorts because you want to feel like you're in sweats but it's too darn hot to wear a normal pair. In this house, we stan all types of shorts but we do have a soft spot for these because no one likes chafing or feeling uncomfortable.
13. A tank silk dress that is uber lightweight and will keep you comfy all day and all night long. Quince is known for making washable silk; so if this gets stained, you can still wash it at home.
14. A pair of wrap linen pants that give that "skirt over pants" look without the layers because it's summer. Minimal yet statement-making and made out of super lightweight flax, they 100% deserve a spot in your summer wardrobe.
15. A slip dress because you could never have too many of these sexy numbers. A basic yet must-have, a lightweight slip dress exudes summer night energy, and I'll take one in every single color.
16. A pair of lightweight and baggy pants that can be made custom to fit you. Something super cool about these pants is that they're super wide but tailored at the ankle, which gives them an airy look; making them perfect for vacay or just chilling in your home.
CharmWoodSigns is a small biz that makes dreamy, minimalist clothing in custom sizes.
Promising review: "I love these pants. So light and loose. I will wear them from spring through fall. Thanks for the personal touch!" —Gretchen Curtis
Get it from CharmWoodSigns on Etsy for $36.43+ (originally $82.80+; available in sizes XS–6XL, or you can customize with your measurements, and 34 colors).
17. A tennis skort simply made for your next pickleball match or your next summer BBQ. The built-in shorts are a game changer when it comes to all kinds of gatherings.
18. A sleeveless linen dress with a ruched bodice and waist that'll give you a sweet and romantic look. Try wearing this to a garden this summer, and maybe you'll find someone to re-enact a scene from Bridgerton with you.
19. A short unitard for your days when you just want to throw something on and head out the door. This piece has adjustable straps and is designed to be stretchy and super breathable, so get ready to wear it nonstop.
20. A drawstring cutout dress to show up this summer as the baddie, you truly are. Soft and stretchy, this piece is chic and comfortable, which is kind of legendary.
21. A pair of cross-waist bike shorts that you can rock as bottoms or try styling under your favorite dress (because chafing is a hard pass). With over 4,000 5-star ratings, shoppers are super into these breathable and comfy bottoms and you'll probably love them too.
Promising review: "These shorts are everything! I saw a review on TikTok and I had to get these. As a plus-size woman, I have found that it is very hard to find cute and affordable gym shorts that actually look good! BUT THESE!?!? They are perfect." —Siani Herrera
Get them from Amazon for $23.95 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 27 colors).
22. A bodysuit because sometimes you just don't want to attempt tucking everything in. Waist-snatching and comfy, you're going to be wearing this every single bottom you own.
23. A short-sleeve romper that will keep you cool and comfy on hot days. A romper is great because you can just throw it on and look put together no matter what.
24. An exercise dress because we both know you've been daydreaming of owning one of these! We can think of about a million occasions you could wear this for. If you're worried about chafing, don't because the dress has built-in shorts and even a removable bra.
25. A pair of Levi's 501 shorts because you finally found them after searching forever. If you know, you know, plus you could always use another pair of denim shorts.
26. A pair of shorts that aren't denim to add to your rotation. Made out of breathable cotton with elastic waists, they might just be the most comfortable shorts you've ever owned.
27. An asymmetrical waistcoat because it looks so cool and comfy. Style this with your favorite pair of denim shorts for a sophisticated look.
