1. A pair of TikTok-famous slides if you've been counting down the days until you can prance around in sandals again. Spring is *finally* here so be sure you have a go-to pair like these you can ~slide~ into on your next trip!
Promising reviews: "So cute and COMFORTABLE literally feels like walking on clouds! And they’re breathable — no sweaty feet. I also like how at the bottom it’s textured so you can walk outside and it has little slots so they can be airy! Buy them ASAP." —Jordan
"Thanks TikTok. Super cute, super comfy, super cute on....even got [the] approval of my daughters! Great price." —April
Get them from Amazon for $17.98+ (available in women's sizes 4–12.5 and 20 colors).
2. A portable car vacuum to get rid of the remnants of winter before embarking on your next road trip! A filthy vehicle is not what you had in mind while planning your next long-distance adventure.
Promising reviews: "This portable vacuum is ammmmmazing! I love all of the attachments to get the hard to reach spots! It gets the job done! TikTok made me buy it! If you are on the fence about this one... do it! Hit that buy now button. You will not be disappointed. Never putting quarters in a timed vacuum again. There is never enough time, and you rush around trying to beat the timer. Or is that just me? Haha." —Abigail
"Yes, it is not as powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house, however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car. At the end of October my husband and I went to the ocean and as we tried to be neat — the sand was still in the car. Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" —Julia Bright
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (also available in white and with or without a light).
3. A collapsible sunglasses organizer because the cold, dark season is over, which means you can actually look forward to some sunshine. This will hold your fave pairs *and* keep 'em safe.
See it in action on TikTok here.
Promising review: "This organizer is even better quality than expected. It's really sturdy and solid. Great craftsmanship. It's super cool looking. Definitely looks more expensive than what you pay. The material where the glasses are held is extremely soft like suede, so this should prevent scratches and protect them while transporting. I really like that it has a way of keeping the glasses in place. I noticed other similar items don't have this feature, which is why I chose this above the others." —Namiko Minakata
Get it from Amazon for $29.49+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
4. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes that'll address those sweaty pits threatening to sabotage your trip. Give your armpits a swipe before bed, wash them in the morning, and enjoy seven days of sweat-free bliss.
Each box lasts two months!
Promising review: "For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee
Get a 10-count box from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in packs of two or three boxes).
5. A bug bite suction tool — what's worse than getting bitten the moment you step outside to enjoy that crisp spring air? This tool sucks the venom or insect saliva out to reduce itching, redness, and swelling. A vacation without painful bug bites ruining the vibe? Dreams do come true.
It works on mosquito bites, wasp/bee stings, and more.
Promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and have been having issues with mosquito bites. Used it a few times to relieve itchiness and I am convinced it works! Have been recommending it to my family and friends. Read the directions and follow them carefully. Don't use this on your face or neck, or other sensitive areas. Don't do a lot of suction, just a little bit. And do it a few times if needed. Great invention!" —Joe
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in three colors and in multipacks).
6. And some cooling gel patches when you need that sweet, sweet relief ASAP. Slap one of these on to soothe, moisturize, and further protect your damaged skin. It's great for the usual seasonal suspects: bug bites, blisters, minor burns, etc.
Promising review: "I have problems with my fingertips cracking, especially in dry weather. Nothing seemed to help and it can be painful and frustrating. I purchased these and some cohesive wrap bandages and I am happy to say I have finally found the solution! They feel cool and spongy on a sore fingertip, providing a lot of relief. I used one yesterday, then put on another to sleep in and when I woke up my finger felt so much better and was almost healed. They do not stick well on their own on a fingertip but that is not an issue for me, I just use the bandage. They might stick better on a flat area but if not, just cover it with a bandage. I will never travel without these." —KB
Get a jar of 200 pads for $28.99 (available in two formulas).
7. A collapsible compact Calpak tote bag if space is extremely limited but you need (not want, need!!!) a cute bag with ~springy vibes~ for your long-awaited trip.
Plus, it's made out of durable and water-resistant fabric.
Promising review: "I got the blush-colored bag. It is such a pretty neutral color. I packed it in my overnight bag to have an extra bag for shopping. It came in handy when I needed it! I put my water and a light sweater in there. Also, I put my shopping items in there instead of carrying extra store bags that leave a mark on my wrists. This little bag zips up compact and will always be a necessity when traveling anywhere! I highly recommend getting one!" —Nubia C.
Get it from Calpak for $35 (available in 14 colors/patterns).
8. And a Dagne Dover roll-top dry bag because you should be able to soak up every single ray of sunshine before your journey ends. It's made of waterproof, watertight nylon so you can pop a damp suit from your last-minute swim inside without it getting everything else in your luggage wet and stinky.
Promising review: "I bought this bag for a summer trip, and it exceeded my expectations. I had this with me when I was poolside, in the pool, on a catamaran, during water-based excursions, and all items inside remained dry! This bag also works well for non-water-based activities." —Deja C.
Get it from Dagne Dover for $25 (available in colors onyx and fog).
9. A rechargeable handheld fan for those spring days when the weather simply cannot make up its mind. As it starts heating up, you'll be fully prepared to cool off with what may just be the most adorable fan to ever exist.
The fan has two speeds and can be recharged by any USB cable.
Promising review: "I have used this mini fan for more than three months now. It’s good quality and works well so far. The fan is small in size but powerful enough that it blows out a large amount of air. I took it with me to Disney World and thanks to this fan, I had a nice vacation and I will use it this whole summer. It’s really a lifesaver on really hot days — highly recommend!" —Cruz
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 11 colors and as a two-pack).
10. A super absorbent microfiber beach towel designed to leave the sand where it belongs: on the beach. If you're screaming "Sun's out, buns out!!" as soon as the season starts, this towel has your name written all over it.
Eccosophy is a woman-owned small biz that makes problem-solving products with fun designs.
Promising review: "Love this travel beach towel! The print you see pictured looks great in person and I receive so many compliments on vacation. It’s super packable, lightweight, great for beach, pool, and yoga. I took it on vacation to Hawaii for 11 days and didn’t have to wash it once. I highly recommend it for anyone." —Carla
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 26 designs).
11. And a four-pack of towel bands because I can guarantee your vacation daydreams did not include your towel flying off the lounge chair and you hopelessly trying to chase after it.
And as one reviewer points out, they'll make your chairs stand out in a sea of towel lookalikes.
Promising review: "Took these bands on a cruise. They kept the towel secured to the lounge chair even with gusts of wind. Others had clips, and the clips kept popping off. People asked where I got these and were impressed [by] how sturdy they are." —KT
Get them from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors).
12. A luxe loungewear set that'll quickly become your go-to airport outfit this spring — it's just that comfy and cute y'all. You may have to snag it in multiple colors for brunches, impromptu coffee dates, and casual afternoon wine tastings.
Promising reviews: "This set is the perfect thing to throw on when you don’t know what to wear, and you still want to look put together. I love it; the material is great!! And the color options are beautiful. I’m thinking about getting the long sleeve version." —Danma Rodriguez
"I never write reviews on Amazon but had to for this set. It’s probably the best set/clothing item I’ve bought from Amazon. It is perfect... It is the perfect travel fit. Comfy but still looks put together... Will definitely be ordering other colors. Buy this for sure!" —Stephanie Saenz
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and in nine colors).
13. Revlon Volcanic Face Roller to get rid of that unwelcome yet inevitable oily layer that appears when the sun finally comes out. This magical tool will absorb the shine with just a few swipes. No extra powder required!
The face roller is reusable! Just twist the ring to pop out the stone, then wash it with a mild soap/cleanser and let it air dry after every use.
Promising review: "This rolling device is like pure magic. Or voodoo?! You simply roll it around your oily areas and BOOM the oil magically vanishes into the ball never to be seen again! This is an item that #tiktokmademebuyit for sure! I saw a video on TikTok and immediately went on the hunt only to be disappointed that this item was sold out everywhere! I eventually got added to a waiting list here on Amazon and once they had it in stock again, they charged my card and sent it my way! If you have the chance to purchase this and you have oily skin, get yourself on the waiting list if you need to and just kick it until it shows up. You will be pleased. Thank me later." —Veronica Cooper
Get it from Amazon for $8.90.
14. An adjustable mini belted pack — yes, there is such a thing as a fanny pack that's actually cute. Wear it on your shoulder or around your waist and you'll never want to lug around a heavy tote on vacation again.
Promising review: "TikTok told me this compared to Lululemon, and it’s true, it is. Love this little bag! And the price — you can’t beat it." —Jolie
BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly also owns this — she packed it as her only bag for a trip to busy trip to Iceland, and not only did it hold a ton and keep her hands free, it easily fit around her waist over her outerwear.
Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in 45 colors).
15. A Kitsch microfiber hair towel so you'll be ready for whatever comes next on the travel agenda as quickly as possible! It's made of a highly absorbent material to dry your hair super fast while preventing frizz.
Kitsch is an Asian woman-founded business!
BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Kayla Boyd loves it: "I've used hair towels for years, but this one is by far the best. Since I have thick, curly hair I try to avoid adding heat to it as much as possible. This allows my hair to dry naturally MUCH faster and it prevents it from dripping all over me while I'm trying to do my skincare routine or get ready. The elastic around the trim helps it stay sturdily in place, without being irritating at all. And obviously it's super cute, which is always a bonus."
Promising review: "The perfect drying towel. This is my second one of these, and I love them! Plenty of room for my long, thick, curly hair, and it helps me cut down on the time it takes to dry. Having the elastic and the button also helps to prevent my curls from being pulled straight while drying. My first one is over a year old and still going strong, so these are great quality!" —M. Jenkins
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in 10 colors/patterns).
P.S. Kitsch has matching towel scrunchies, too!
16. A pack of moisture-proof travel pill organizers to ensure you stay on your daily supplement and medication schedule without having to pack a bunch of big bottles. It has EIGHT compartments and comes with labels so you know what's what.
Promising review: "These were the perfect size to hold all our medicine. We didn’t need a Monday through Friday organizer. We just needed something to help consolidate medicine for travel. It held way more than I was expecting and came with labels so no confusion of medicine." —Momof3
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $7.97 (available in two color combos).
17. A set of anti-chafing thigh bands — as much as you love to spend your spring vacation gallivanting around and seeing all the sights, your legs often pay the price. Fortunately, you can prevent that awful pain with a pair of these!
Promising review: "We can finally toss the deodorant...these things work! I was hella skeptical because my thighs are resistant to any sort of chub rub defense. I wore them while walking at least five hours at a music festival and they stayed put without me ever needing to adjust them! I couldn't believe it! My delicate inner thigh skin was preserved; not a chub-rub in sight and they're so feminine and romantic-looking that I didn't even care if someone caught a peek at that beautiful lace. Way sexier than my usual biker shorts. Love that I can wear dresses all day now without worrying about my thighs overheating." —OceanHips
Get them from Amazon for $20.69 (available in women's sizes S–3XL and 17 colors/styles).
18. Kinfield Golden Hour Spray because with the changing of seasons comes the return of bugs. This plant-based, DEET-free mosquito repellent will help protect you from those soulless bloodsuckers so you can *actually* enjoy your vacay. Plus, the vanilla citrus scent is downright divine.
It's vegan, cruelty-free, and comes from Kinfield, a woman-owned small biz!
And! If you do happen to get nibbled on, you should try their soothing cruelty-free, vegan Anti-Itch Balm.
Promising review: "I’ve tried so many natural bug sprays that have not worked so my expectations were kind of low. HAPPY to report this bug spray works. Every day I hike in the mosquito-filled woods and this spray kept the bugs away. I’ll definitely purchase again." —Kinfield Customer
Get it from Kinfield for $22.
19. A CarryAround foldable cup holder that'll make you the smartest person in the friend group because you were genius enough to think of it first. When you whip this out on the trip, you can be sure the next round is on anyone but you 😎.
Check out a TikTok of the drink holder in action.
Promising review: "I bought this to use on a cruise. I had such an easy time carrying my drinks around. So many people asked where I purchased it from." —Jasmine
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in multipacks).
20. A saline nasal gel to revive your dry, allergy-ridden nose so you can enjoy your trip despite the fact that spring is trying to take you down. Just two drops around the nostrils will offer some much-needed relief from discomfort. Bonus points for soothing aloe to help moisturize the area!
Promising review: "I don't like to talk about it, but every year, my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell." —Catherine
Get it from Amazon for $3.62 (also available as a two-pack).
21. An ~Epic~ water bottle with a filter for staying hydrated *and* drinking water free from contaminants no matter where the season takes you. And the colorful, eye-catching bottle designs are a welcomed bonus!

22. A pair of reusable Sea Bands so you may live your best wanderlust life without motion sickness interfering. These target an acupressure point on the wrist to help reduce nausea, which is ideal for any long car rides, cruises, and train rides you'll be taking this spring.
For more info on how to use acupressure for nausea management, check out this guide from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Promising review: "I have always suffered from motion sickness. My whole life I have hated long car rides, even short car rides. As soon as I get in the car and buckle in, I already feel the nausea. I bought these for a 16-hour road trip, and they worked 100%. I felt perfectly comfortable the whole way through. I could even watch movies and text on my phone and feel alright. My two daughters suffer from the same thing (ages 1 and 3) to the point where they couldn't keep any food down. The kids bands worked for them 100% of the time, too. 10/10 recommend. I'll be buying more for sure." —Veronica
Get a pair from Amazon for $8.51.
23. Body Glide anti-blister balm when you're done spending your entire vacation in shoes that rub your ankles raw. It works best when applied at the start of your day to create a barrier between your skin and your shoes.
Check out a TikTok of the anti-blister balm in action!
Promising reviews: "Saw this product on a TikTok review and thought to give it a go. I definitely say it causes new shoes to be less painful however if you apply a lot it can be a little transferable on shoes. Overall though I think this product is definitely worth it and it does make a difference with new shoe wear!" —Mich Elle
"This is a MUST if you're breaking in new flats. Helps prevent blisters. So easy and simple, yet effective." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

"Purchased this due to getting heat rashes along [the] underwear line during work (running around a lot and it gets hot!) I wasn't sure how this was going to work out, but it has actually turned out to be really awesome!! When I use it, I never get rashes from the heat buildup. It holds up all day during my 12-hour shifts and has yet to fail me." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three sizes and as a two-pack).

Promising review: "So happy I discovered TOPTOTE! As a hat lover, this product is seriously a lifesaver! I never have to carry my hats now when traveling and its’ magnets are SO strong.

Get it from The Fileist for $55 (also available in black/gold).
26. A portable lock box that'll secure your wallet, phone, and other valuables while you take a carefree dip in the ocean. You did not wait *months* for this beach trip just to be a victim of theft.

Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in four colors).
27. A comfy pair of Kiziks when all you want is a stylish, supportive shoe that can carry you through countless hours of exploring a new city. Plus, going through TSA is a ~breeze~ because they slip on and off so easily.
Former BuzzFeeder Daniel Boan said: "I had the chance to try these recently and absolutely love them. They truly are SO easy to slip your foot into, yet they feel super secure once they're on your feet. I've worn them for a few walks and find that they provide great support while still feeling soft and cushy — and the breathable knit upper is a major plus on hot summer afternoons. The mix of comfort and convenience means I will absolutely be wearing these on my next flight!"
Get it from Kizik for $130 (available in women's sizes 5–13, two widths, and 14 colors. Also available in men's sizes).
28. And a pair of odor control flat socks because the arrival of your favorite season means saying goodbye to boots and hello to flats. If you're not a fan of stinky feet *or* slippery no-show socks, these are an excellent alternative!
Each pair of flat socks is machine washable and comes with trim guidelines on the underside to help you achieve the right fit. The small is designed to fit women's shoe sizes 6–11 and men's shoe sizes 6–10. The large is designed to fit women's shoe sizes 9–13 and men's shoe sizes 8–14.
Promising review: "I’ve tried so many different ways to wear slippers, loafers, and [the] like without my socks showing. Always ended up skipping the shoes and going for sandals. These are the perfect solution. All you have to do is take out your shoe lining, use it as a template to cut the new flat sock to size, and put it in your shoe in place of the shoe liner. They wash perfectly [and] are ready to reuse just like socks. Would not recommend putting them in the dryer. Love love love!" —Soap
Get a pair from Amazon for $11.55+ (available in two sizes and six designs).
29. An amazingly compact travel stroller so you can book that spring break trip without leaving your must-have parenting item behind. This stroller is SO dang portable and it can count as a carry-on item.
The stroller is designed to accommodate kids from ages 6 months up to approximately 4 years old (weighing up to 55 pounds).
See it in action on TikTok here.
Promising review: "This stroller is great! So cool looking, too. I constantly have moms coming up to me asking where I got this! So easy to fold, so light, and barely takes any space in my trunk. We took it on a flight, and the flight attendants recognized the stroller and told me that I can just wheel the baby on and put the stroller in the overhead bin. I wish I had gotten this stroller with my oldest, but I was being cheap. This stroller is so worth the money. I regret not getting it sooner! But at least my youngest can enjoy it." —Nai Len
Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available in three styles and four colors).
30. And a stroller cover to protect your little one from those unexpected afternoon storms that seem to happen at the most inopportune moments. You might be stuck in a poncho, but at least your kiddo will be dry!
Promising review: "A must-have for vacations. This rain cover and mosquito net was perfect for our vacation! It fit over our stroller nicely and was great for the two-day trip we took to Cincinnati as some days we used the net and one day it rained when we went to the zoo so we used the cover! The baby didn't get overheated inside and was a happy camper since he could see through it. Very easy to use and worth every penny!"—Tlake33111
Get it from Amazon for $18.98+ (available in two styles).
31. A travel umbrella you can quickly open to protect yourself from spring showers. It'll easily fit in your bag and the inside-out design keeps the wet part inside when you close it. No more water dripping everywhere! It's also windproof, so it won't turn inside out on blustery days.
32. And this satin-lined Hairbrella so your locks are prepared for the torrential downpour that's bound to occur. It's small enough to fold up and carry in your bag and it'll protect your hair from rain, wind, snow, humidity, etc.
Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business that has been creating fashionable hats that protect hair from all kinds of weather since 2016.
Promising review: "I traveled to London last month with a raincoat that did not have a hood, and I wanted something that would protect my head/hair/blowout without lugging an umbrella. This definitely did the trick. Two of the three days were rainy (some quite heavy) and my hair stayed totally dry. It stows nicely, too. I'm still learning how to adjust it while it's on my head (easier to adjust first and then put it on). Also, when I do have it tightened/pulled to the right place, the loop/slack from where I adjusted it sort of sticks out and gets in my peripheral vision. I wish the adjustment/clasp was less prominent. But, all in all, this is perfect for anyone who wants to keep their blowout fresh in the rain." —Miss Information
Get it from Amazon for $39+ (available in one size and nine colors).
33. Slip-on quick-dry water shoes perfect for tropical adventures so you can explore to your heart's content without the nagging fear that you might accidentally step on a jagged rock.
Promising review: "Love these water socks. They are comfy and cute. I have never owned a pair before but I wanted to try these for an upcoming vacation in Belize. I have tried them out a couple of times in a swimming pool and they are great. I love that they are so lightweight that I forget I am wearing anything on my feet at all. They give me the confidence to stand in the pool without worry of stepping on something or scratching my feet." —AJS

34. A stylish and spacious beach bag with a waterproof pouch to store all your daily *and* springtime essentials. There's enough room for everything and you can feel confident that your valuables will actually stay dry.
Promising review: "When you go to the pool or beach nowadays you see a lot of people with these $100+ rubber carry-alls. Sure they look nice but they are not as practical as this bag or have the features of this bag. I came to appreciate this bag when I loaded up the grandkids to take to the pool and realized too late that I did not remove my hearing aids or empty my pockets. This bag comes with a nice waterproof pouch and I was able to keep all those belongings, I should have left at home, safe and dry all day!" —David Petraitis
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in seven colors/prints).
35. A reusable, portable gel lint roller if you're already dreading all of the spring-related hair, lint, and dust destined to land on your fave vacation outfit. No disposable lint rollers here — you can quickly restore its stickiness by washing the interior.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok a bunch of times and finally decided to get it. I hate the paper lint rollers, they never seem to work that well and I hate that I have to throw them away. This is awesome because it fits right in my bag, and I’m able to reuse it over and over. It’s super sticky and works great!" —Ella
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors and as a two-pack).

Anne Cate is a small Ohio-based business that sells city-skyline-themed accessories and journaling supplies. Their product lineup features 100 hand-designed skylines from various cities and colleges worldwide!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Danielle Healy swears by this kit and said: "I, your resident forgetful person, bought the NYC skyline version of this at the start of COVID-19 to keep in my work tote. Unfortunately, I haven't touched my work tote in months because...*gestures at the world around*...but it's a really handy kit I know will save me a ton whenever I regularly leave the house again. Everything from Anne Cate is super high quality. The wallet on its own is adorable and could be used for a million different things."

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 13 colors/prints).
39. A deodorant to keep you feelin' *and* smellin' fresh during whatever trips you have planned this season. It's made with natural ingredients like vitamin E, shea butter, and coconut oil.

Promising review: "I knew if y'all could make the pits of children smell good with natural deodorant, this was going to be a good choice. This is by far.....the BEST natural adult deodorant I have EVER used! The smell is awesome. I tested it by going out and cutting my lawn. Still smelled fresh! I am telling ALL my friends about this deodorant! I have tried many and I had to constantly put it on. NOT Queen! Put it on once and forget it. Please NEVER change this deodorant! It is AWESOME! Thank you bunches. You need to have TV commercials!" —Dianne
40. A carry-on garment duffle bag that'll keep your fancy spring dresses and 'fits free of wrinkles while saving room in your luggage for other stuff. If you're attending a formal event and can't bear the thought of ironing or steaming, this'll do the trick.
It's made of vegan leather and includes a 15" padded laptop sleeve, two additional pockets, an external zipped pocket, and a separate shoe compartment!
Promising review: "This garment bag is an exceptional value for the money. Well built, top quality materials, including 'beefy' zippers, should hold up well for airline travel. Minimal wrinkles if any in garments, and a cavernous bag for storing shoes and other items for a trip. Added bonus, it fits easily in the plane overhead storage, similar in size to a standard roller bag. I highly recommend this product." —Kindle Customer

41. A Hackwith Design House shirt if you want to have several transitional outfits ~up your sleeve~ while only packing a single garment! This sneaky shirt can be worn six (!) different ways, so it's perfect for trips with limited suitcase space.
Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small business that creates made-to-order apparel. This shirt can be worn as a V-neck, off-the-shoulder, boatneck, V-back, and even open as a jacket. And the color is simple, which means it can be paired well with many different bottoms.
BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Chelsea Stuart says: "I have this shirt and I *love* it. All credit for its discovery goes to TikToker @jennifer.bianca who I happened to stumble across on my FYP. It checks all my boxes: black, comfortable, versatile, and durable. My initial worry was that I wouldn't feel secure in it (I have a 38DDD chest and most wrap tops/dresses I've tried haven't stayed where they're supposed to), but I haven't had an issue with this! I've worn it tied in the front giving me a square neck (like the middle picture) and tied in the back giving me a V-neck up front (just like the photo on the right) — both were super comfortable, and I didn't have to adjust myself at all. As someone whose weight fluctuates, I also appreciate that this piece can handle pounds gained and lost. The fabric is medium weight, so I'll be wearing it season to season, and there's just enough elasticity in the arms that if you roll up your sleeves, they won't fall back down. All that is to say trust that I will be buying additional colors!"
