    Paired with their matching ruched high-waisted bottoms, you will be the center of attention at the beach (even if it's just a fake one you made with an inflatable pool in your backyard)!

    Promising review: "OBSESSED! I cannot say enough good things about Wild Isles! I bought this suit on a whim, and OH MY GOSH it is incredible. I honestly don't think I've ever felt comfortable or sexy in a swimsuit, but this one did the impossible! It is amazing quality, sexy, but still modest. It holds the girls in and feels like I could jump around and do flips without the dreaded nip slip. Wild Isles, you guys totally know what you are doing!" —Madeline

    Get it from Wild Isles for $95 (available in five sizes and seven colors).

Love that there are snaps on the bottom for easy bathroom access, PLUS access for other things lol. Satin sheen is gorgeous and I LOVE the hot pink lining. I need like three of these in a nude color so I can have a clean one at all times." —Yitty Customer

    Eloquii

    Promising review: "I'm 5'1" and a size 18/20 so I ordered the 18 and its sublime! It wears amazingly. I wear a regular bra with it and shablam, is it gorgeous and oh-so-fitting. The fabric has a bit of weight to it so it moves beautifully on. Eloquii, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE have this dress offered in chambray, ivory, and red." —Lexy

    Get it from Eloquii for $109.95 (available in two colors and sizes 14–28).

    Get them from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 10 colors).

    9. A ~dramatic~ belted gown you wear on the premiere of your documentary film. You've worked so hard on it. And while everyone loves the film, all you can think about is the fight you had with the editor before the big night. You wonder if they'll still show up.

    FYI, the ribbon belt is removable!

    Promising review: "This is my new favorite dress! I'm a size 24/26 and ordered a XXL Tall. I was worried this dress wouldn't fit, and it fits PERFECTLY. It's so flowy and I was even able to wrap the tie around my waist and tie it in a floppy bow. The length was just right on me, any longer and it would've been too long. I loved how lightweight this material is, and I loved how the dress moved when I walked, danced, or when the wind blew by. It's a gorgeous dress and I got several compliments. 100% pleased with this purchase!!!" —Elizabeth B.

    Get it from Amazon for $42.99 (available in sizes M–XXL tall and 27 styles).

    10. A high waisted wide leg two-piece set sure to be a showstopper at the next house party.

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 26 options). 

    11. A puff-sleeve blouse that just looks expensive — which is why some people think you're a stuck up person from the burbs. You know, a reech beech.

    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 XL–3X and in two colors).

    12. A one-shoulder bow tie peplum top because you can take us out of the rom-com but you can't take the rom-com out of us. It's like, tell me you believe in love without telling me you believe in love. *Takes selfie in this top.*

    Promising review: "I love this top! What a statement! The color and the stripes is perfect for spring and summer and I can't get over how adorable the bow is. You can tie in the front or the back. I also love the off shoulder look. I can dress this up or down, thinking even on white cutoff shorts for the summer and some cute sandals! This top has all the girlie frills and definitely a statement. Highly recommend and fits true to size." —Jolie and Grace

    Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes S—4XL and five colors).

    13. A tulle ruffle-shoulder bodysuit — the perfect top for a seaside event. You go to take a beautiful selfie by the dock of the bay and the bully from high school accidentally knocks you in. But what starts as a pretty rough reintroduction has... romance potential?

    Promising review: "This arrived as expected, and it was very cute. The sleeves make this bodysuit a major success. I agree with the other reviews, it needs a snap crotch, but it fits like a glove. I wear a size 18 in plus size and I ordered a 2X." —Chosen Vessel

    "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 $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 18 colors/styles).

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes L–4XL and six colors)

    17. A casual maxi dress because the weather is only getting warmer, so you might as well stock up on flowy clothing.

    Promising review: "I love this dress. I am 5'6" and ordered a size 16 (I usually wear a 2X or 3X). The length is perfect; it does not drag on the ground. The top part of the dress fits snug, and the bottom flows, just like the picture. I can't wait to order the other colors. I have ordered other dresses from Nemidor in the past, and I am always satisfied with the quality." —Dina Grubbs

    Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes XL–5X and in 45 different colors and styles).

    18. A pair of pull-on Levi's jeans you can slide on with no hassle. They are so comfortable you'll rethink all the days you spent wearing leggings.

    Psst: This item is included in Prime Try Before You Buy, so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!

    Promising review: "Let me first start out by saying I'm a mom of two in my mid-30s. Pants and I disagree on far too many levels (aka, once I found leggings after having children, it's been impossible to go back). Pair that with working from home (ahem, never having motivation to wear actual pants even if I wanted to) and you have a full blown 'this woman is going to spend the rest of her life in yoga pants' situation. Enter these jeggings. I am not even apologizing for using the silly term of 'jeggings.' These could nearly pass for a legging-feel situation. ON TOP OF THAT, they look like real jeans. DONE. TAKE MY MONEY."Sara W.

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 2–28 Plus, three inseams, and 10 colors).

    19. A bugged-out button collared shirt that'll liven up your favorite bottoms. Your bestie's eyes will light up at the vibrant design right before they ask, "Hey, can I borrow that?"

    Universal Standard

    Promising review: "These are so comfortable that I have fallen asleep in them and used them to clean and cook, so well fitting that I've worn them when I want to look nice and a little dressed up, too. The denim is lightweight when you need it to be and heavier when It's colder. A straight win-win-win." —Joan M.
