1. A padded tank that 1. Looks incredibly cute and 2. Eliminates the need for a bra. If the last year has taught me anything about myself, it's that #2 is my new way of life.
Promising review: "These tops are excellent. So versatile!! You can literally wear these for high impact sports. I have bought three colors and am going to get more lol. You can wear these under anything, alone, or even for swimming and especially sports. Super cute and well made." —Gwen
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 19 colors).
2. A silky satin midi skirt with a silhouette that says "chic" and an elastic waistband that says "I'll give your most comfortable sweats a go."
3. Or a three-tier bohemian number that will have you feeling yourself so much, you'll stop for impromptu photo shoots anytime you pass something even remotely ~aesthetic~. AKA a flowering tree, some impressive graffiti, or even just a patch of well-watered grass.
Promising review: "This by far is my most favorite skirt. I am a skirt wearier anyways, so I have quite a few. Every time I wear it I get several compliments. I pair it with several tops. It fits great, is lightweight, and has a half slip already sewed into it. I have now bought three more of these in different colors." —Sherry Charlene Seres
Get it from Amazon for $27.88+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 16 colors/prints).
4. A simple Aritzia tank with skinny lil' spaghetti straps and a midriff-baring cut that pairs exceptionally well with high-rise pants. Hot take: Ain't nothing wrong with those pants being skinny jeans, either!
5. A pair of Levi's Wedgie fit jeans sure to show off your best ~asset~ no matter what you throw on up top. Since they come in a bunch of classic washes, you *will* have trouble picking which ones to get.
6. Or a pair of knit Amazon Essentials jeggings that have accumulated thousands of 5-star reviews — almost all of which unanimously state they feel like leggings but look like jeans.
7. A basic Universal Standard tee engineered for the *absolute* perfect fit. There's the ultra-soft Peruvian cotton, stovepipe sleeves, and curved hem that ensures it's not too long or short.
8. A knit peplum tank that looks like something I'd see someone on TikTok crochet and then immediately jump to the conclusion that *I* could make one too. I would, of course, be wrong and end up spending way more money than the top even costs only to give up when things get tough (AKA five minutes in).
Promising review: "This top is so cute and also comfortable! The fabric is actually very soft. The only thing I sorta disliked I guess was other reviews said you could get away with not wearing a bra with it. I disagree and had to buy a strapless bra. Otherwise I have no complaints! I got this in four different colors I love it so much!" —Kandice H
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 31 colors).
9. A knit maxi dress with an adjustable belt that's giving major '70s vibes which is an immediate yes for me — someone who desperately wanted to be Donna Pinciotti as a teenager. (Both for her fashion + because she got to date Eric Forman.)
Promising review: "I got the light pink one because I was afraid the form-fitting design was going to be too much in orange for my body. This dress fits sooo perfectly, though — the length is just right, the fabric is nice, and it has Eloquii's great quality. I love it so much I am so getting it in orange now!" —LizCo
Get it from Eloquii for $39 (originally $99.95; available in sizes 14/16–26/28 and in three colors).
10. A dainty ruffled set made from lightweight, breathable cotton so your en-vogue outfit won't turn your pits into a sweat fest.
Promising review: "Absolutely adorable! Loved it so much I ordered in another color, and they were perfect sets for my vacation to Mexico! The fabric is like a linen and can be wrinkled with wash but that’s to be expected. I got many compliments too." —Domenic Riley
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in seven colors).
11. A ruffled swing skirt that's as easy to style as your trusty pair of Levi's. Add a tank, tee, sweater, or jean jacket on top and go wild with your footwear — there's no wrong way to finish the equation.
Promising review: "Great little summer skirt! Not too short or too long. I worried it wouldn't cover my legs adequately but it's the perfect length. The material is cotton-feeling, lightweight, and easy to pack. I bought this for trip to Europe and the Philippines. I liked it so much I ordered 3 more in different colors. Great to dress up or down. I brought cardigans to pair with it for cool nights. Very versatile. It is not see-through despite the thinness of fabric. Great for hot vacations!" —Charles D, Paynter
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 44 colors/prints).
12. A tiered peplum tank many reviewers say rivals a $300+ Ulla Johnson top if you're after designer looks for much, much less.
Promising review: "Love this top so much that I bought it in the striped pattern and the green. It has been so long since I found cute tops at Target and these didn’t disappoint. I bought my normal size for reference." —Bmichi78
Get it from Target for $17 (originally $20; available in sizes XS–4X and in five colors/patterns).
13. A pair of relaxed linen overalls with two mega pockets and a relaxed silhouette that says: "adult onesie, but make it fashion."
Promising review: "I have bought four of these, now, in different colors. I originally thought I might feel frumpy, but I wanted something loose-fitting to allow air-flow in the summer heat. I never fail to receive a compliment when wearing these out and about. They are very cute jumpers! For the price, the fit, and the quality, they're worth buying. The material seems to be linen which is very breathable, but is thick enough that I don't worry about it being see-through. I highly recommend these to anyone, any size!" —M. morson
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 14 colors/prints).
14. A lightweight midi dress that comes in fun gingham prints but also neutrals that can easily adhere to any monochromatic outfit plans you have in mind. Since everything else you own is ~already~ black, pairing it with accessories, sandals, and a lightweight coat is easy peasy.
15. A rib-knit skirt you can wear at your natural waist or hike up for a shorter silhouette. It's like getting two skirts in one!
16. A tie-front romper with a lil' peek-a-boo rib action. The tie is adjustable, so it's suitable for boobs of all sizes and it comes in a whole slew of colors if it ends up being your go-to summer fit.
Promising review: "I am buying this in MULTIPLE colors. I have only found one other romper in 10 years that the shorts didn’t resemble panties on me with my booty hanging out… I was nervous about the exposed midriff but the high waist of the shorts makes it fit perfectly. The tie on the top allows you to control cleavage and (best part) allows for a normal bra! No sticky boobs or tape needed. Perfect for the summer heat!" —Lindsey Okken
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 24 colors/prints).
17. An oversized poplin shirt that makes you look boardroom ready even if you only meet over Zoom now and are definitely wearing plaid pajama pants on bottom...
Promising review: "So well made with great fit and quality material! I purchased in all colors!" —Nichole J.
Get it from Good American for $125 (available in sizes XXS/XS–4X/5X and in three colors).
18. A dramatic, puff-sleeve shirt with an equally eye-catching keyhole back. Peep my shoulder blades and weep!
19. A high-neck chiffon blouse that comes in such a variety of vibrant prints, no one will even be able to detect you own more than one.
20. A smocked crop top outfitted with straps that are actually thick enough to conceal even the most unruly bra strap!!
Promising review: "When I tell you that it's hard to find tops when you have a large bust, it is HARD. But this one fits just right and after buying the first one in black and wearing it all the time, I ended up getting three more colors. It is so practical and easy to throw on with shorts, some dangly earrings, and sandals in the summer or put a cardigan over it with jeans in the winter. A must-have in my book and I do not leave reviews, ever!!" —Kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $19.90+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 15 colors/prints).
21. A bodycon dress ready to show off your guns with dramatic see-through sleeves. I can't help but think of how dope this would look on someone with a whole sleeve of tats!
22. A drapey Madewell blouse that French tucks like no other. Plus, the oversized fit means you can slip it on over your head without having to button it and then re-button it when you realize you were off by one.
23. A pair of high-waisted pleated pants with bow detailing at the waist and ankles and functional pockets. Good news is if you really fall in love with them, they're available in 39 (!) colors.
24. A simple V-neck blouse reviewers say does not wrinkle because if all my fave tops have one thing in common, it's definitely that.
25. An elegant square-neck top that gives me major Mila Kunis in Black Swan vibes. If her fictional ballerina character knew about this top, I'm certain she'd have multiple.
26. A faux suede moto jacket you can *literally* wear with anything. There was a time when my mom told me to stop using the word literally 'cause I said it every two seconds, but mom, I swear it's justified in this case!
27. A boxy linen pocket dress that really gives you a blank slate to build off of. Pair it with your chunky gold jewelry, platform clogs, or bamboo bucket bag — you name it.
28. A lantern-sleeve top with a loose, oversized fit that makes it both exceptionally comfy and versatile because if you're dropping money on multiples, it better check both of those boxes.
29. A pair of casual drawstring shorts that are just as easy to slip into as that old pair of boxers you love to sleep and lounge in.
30. A cable knit pullover designed with a loose, off-the-shoulder fit so you can show off whichever clavicle is really feeling itself.
31. And a pair of fitted joggers that are way better looking than my college-era sweats but also way more comfortable than my BC (before COVID) jeans.
Promising review: "These are the most comfortable and adorable jogging pants I own — they're so cute on. I bought three pairs — I like them that much!! Love, love, love these joggers..." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 16 colors/patterns).
