Promising review: "I get compliments on this jumper every single time I wear it. I wear it alone with sandals, ankle boots, tennis shoes or heels. It can be dressed up or down. It looks great with an army type jacket or jean jacket. It's really is just so cute and strangers come up to me and tell me how cute it is. And it is SO comfy. It feels like I'm wearing pajamas. I can wear it in the heat of the summer or spring and with a jacket. I really love this jumper. So much so, that I now own it in army green / olive, black and my original navy. It's well worth the price." —Rebecca G.

Promising review: "The shorts are amazing. I was skeptical at first, but they fit so comfortably. I always like to say Levi's makes denim to fit a woman's body comfortably. If you know what I mean, you know what I mean. These shorts have a little bit of give. They are not stiff. The length is perfect. I do not like pants to be tight around my abdomen. These shorts fit perfectly! I worn them a few times and they do not stretch out. It's me like a glove. I will be buying another pair today. If you are looking for cute denim cut off shorts, you found them." —Sarah balasanian

Promising review: "These pants are so gorgeous and airy! The elastic waist band is very stretchy and the material is soft and thin so it’s perfect for both warm and cool weather. These pants can be easily dressed up or down and are so comfortable you can probably sleep in them (lol). I love that the style of these is appropriate for both every day wear and dressier wear depending on how you style them. I’m so impressed by these that I will be purchasing these in other colors. It's definitely a great staple to have in your wardrobe!" —Casey B.

Promising review: "If you’re on the fence, buy it! I bought the white, it is ridiculously adorable. The arms are very long which is great. I plan to wear this on our summer vacation to the beach. This can be worn as a beach cover with shorts or as an outfit for later." —M. Hadley

Promising review: "These are the perfect summer staple and are a decent quality! The denim is a bit thinner but that will be nice when it's 100+ degrees in the summer. I ordered an XL and it fits just like I want it to. Really excited to wear these!" —Georgia Berning

Promising review: "This is a great, lightweight skirt. It's versatile and can be dressed up or down. The best part is that it has pockets! It's very flowy and fun. It fit perfectly in the waist (I wear mine high-waisted) and is ankle length on me." —jessie

Promising review: "I have bought four different colors of this exact same shirt. I think I am slightly obsessed! I sized up to a large as I am usually a small/medium but I knew I wanted to shirt to be longer and not too cropped. The material is great! Not see through, super soft and holds up great in the gym/washer and dryer. I also love the style of the racer back so it doesn't show my sports bra which allows for a clean and sleek look." —shelley

Promising review: "Can I tell you how much I HATE wearing an undershirt on a hot day?! It’s so frustrating to look to look for shirts in the store and have them all be translucent, too tight, too baggy, or have words on them. I saw these and figured I could send them back if I hated them. Well, I LOVE THEM. They are soft, they aren’t see through, and they fit amazingly well. I get complimented on them every time I wear them. Can’t beat the price either. I can even wear the white ones without an undershirt. I have several colors and will buy more." —KH

Promising review: "I love this top! It's perfect by its self or under a shirt. I ordered a medium! It fits snugly, just the right amount to feel secure without a bra. I was concerned about the straps since they are not adjustable but they are a sturdy material and have some stretch to them. I’m definitely going to order this in more colors!" —Mama Mia

Promising review: "I absolutely love this top! It's a great style for this spring and summer. It's very lightweight. I got a lighter color and with a nude bra, it's not see through. It lays very nicely and is a great camouflaging top! I got quite a few compliments on it!" —Amazon Customer

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

Promising review: "I've had the pants version of these for a while now and wear them constantly, so I had to try out the shorts for warmer weather. They're exactly what I was looking for and are, as expected, a shorts version of the pants – same material, same fit. The high waist is perfect, and the material is lightweight without being cheap." —Amazon Customer
