Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A cropped tank top-style sports bra that has rave reviews for providing support without skimping on comfort. It features removable cups for a more customized feel and the sweat-wicking material makes it perfect for intense workouts.
Promising review: "Super amazed at how much I love this freaking top. First of all, it looks great and really holds those puppies down if you know what i mean. Then it's also super comfortable. It feels way better than wearing a separate sports bra and top but works just as good or even better than some of my sports bras. It doesn't dig in and cut off circulation like most of the sports bras I own and to test this theory I slept in this top and wore it a total of 17 hours, then took pictures of where there would typically be lines in the skin and there was practically nothing there. I worked out in the top for 45 minutes and never had to readjust it once. I've already ordered another one and told all my workout buddies about it." —Corbin G.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 13 other colors).
2. A pair of casual cotton linen overalls with a spring-friendly loose fit so you'll have plenty of room to get your Mamma Mia on and dance around like Meryl Streep dodging three potential baby daddies on a Greek island.
3. A pair of high-waisted biker shorts for those days when you crave the comfort of leggings but it's way too hot to keep your legs covered. These have a stretchy waistband and comfortable length so you can get your Hannah Montana on and have the best of both worlds.
Promising review: "I love these. I love to wear them hiking and around the house but also under skirts. The pockets are what set these apart!" —ShellBell8
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 38 other colors).
4. Or a pair with mesh panels on the side if you need some extra breathability on those scorching days when even shorts feel like too much fabric on your legs.
Promising review: "Absolutely love these pockets. Been going hiking and for long walks with them. You can fit a whole water bottle in these pockets and my iPhone11 max fits in there with room. The material is great, not at all see through." —Allie C.
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in sizes XS–2XL and 12 colors).
5. This extremely popular jumpsuit that's become a bit of a viral sensation — and for good reason. Reviewers say it's stylish enough to run errands in yet soft enough for curling up on the couch, so you'll probably be wearing this 24/7.
Promising review: "Made very well. Nice breathable fabric that isn’t too thick/heavy but also isn’t cheap or too thin. It’s very soft, lightweight, flows nicely. Nice quality.
I’m always extremely skeptical about elastic waists because they can kill a look and be terribly unflattering; I was ECSTATIC to find that this isn’t your average elastic waist. It gathers just enough to give definition between torso and hips and isn’t even close to being too tight or snug around the waist....heavenly turnout. Seriously, I was so excited.
The off-shoulder neckline is sexy and feminine, and living in Arizona, between having a shoulder exposed and putting my hair up, it makes me feel 50% cooler in the hot temps. Love it." —Holly
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S-3XL and 30 other colors).
6. An A-line pleated skirt, because spring is practically designed for twirling around in the grass and living your best influencer life.
Promising review: "The skirt is as beautiful as I imagined it would be; it's exactly as pictured. It's very comfortable, and due to the elastic waistband, very forgiving as far as fit. It's perfect for work or a casual day out." —Elayne
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 51 other colors).
7. A pair of jeggings to give you the look of jeans without having to put up with a stifling denim prison around your legs in the spring heat. Let's just leave real jeans in 2019 where they belong.
Promising review: "These are great jeggings! They are so comfortable, just the right amount of stretch and do not lose their shape. They wash up well without shrinking. Jeans or any pants for that matter, are tough for me to buy. I have a big caboose and athletic but not thick thighs. Usually jeans are too big in the thighs if they fit my butt, not these! They hug every curve wonderfully without making me feel like a sausage and no gaping material!" —Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $19.19+ (available in sizes XS–2XL, four lengths, and 20 other colors).
8. Or a knee-length pair of leggings that gives your legs a little extra breathing room thanks to the shorter design.
Promising review: "Living in Florida, I look for comfortable hot weather clothes. The fact that they are a cotton-based spandex makes them more breathable than others. They wash and dry well without shrinkage, and are fine for casual wear, around the house or running to the supermarket. A couple of pairs of these are summertime basics for me." —Beach Lover
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–7XL and 35 other colors).
9. A stretchy tie-neck top to add some retro-flair to your wardrobe without adding any bright retro colors — because black is timeless.
Get it from ModCloth for $35 (available in sizes XS–4X and also in yellow).
10. A versatile racerback crop top that's double-lined in the chest area so you can ditch the bra on those super hot spring days that are right around the corner.
Promising review: "I am in love with this top! It’s thick enough to not need a bra but not so thick that it’s hot and uncomfortable. Doesn’t ride up or roll around the seams and edges. You could wear it to workout, be casual, or dress it up. Definitely snagging this in every color." —Shelbie Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in sizes S–2XL and in 15 other colors).
11. A lined square-neck bodysuit with a built-in bra, because double-duty clothing is the best kind of clothing. Pair it with your favorite shorts and you'll have a new go-to spring uniform.
Klassy Network is a woman-owned small business that sells stylish blouses, swimwear, eyewear, and their well-known Brami top, aka a top that provides amazing support and doesn't require a bra underneath!
My colleague Chantel Turner loves Brami tops and said:
"I wish that every top I owned was a Brami top so I could trash all of my traditional bras. I own a few of their shirts in different styles, and they are absolutely amazing! Somehow the shirts provide the support of a bra without you having to actually wear a bra. It feels extremely comfortable."
Read more of her Brami top review.
Get it from Klassy Network for $48 (available in sizes XS–3XL and in two other colors).
12. A chic and flowy faux leather blazer that's perfect for achieving the perfect "wrong size, but make it fashion" look when the temps drop at night.
Beginning Boutique is a woman-founded Aussie brand based in Brisbane. In an effort to be more sustainable and ethical, they ship in compostable packaging and partner with programs like Thread Together to recycle and upcycle old stock.
Get it from Beginning Boutique for $89.99 (available in sizes 0–12).
13. A peplum swimsuit — it's basically the perfect hybrid of a chic one-piece and a little black dress. It features easily adjustable straps for a customized fit and a crisscross design to make you stand out in all your vacay pics.
Get it from Torrid for $64.67 (originally $99.50; available in sizes M–6X).
14. These Blowfish micro-wedge sandals with faux leather straps to give a nice edge to your spring footwear collection. The supremely cushiony footbed might make you forget you're even wearing sandals.
15. A bestselling pair of Amazon Essentials flats — they've become a favorite of over 26,000 people. They're super flexible right out of the package and extremely lightweight, so you'll basically be reaching for them all the time.
Promising review: "These shoes are pretty much the fanciest ones I've worn since the pandemic started — I'm usually in slippers, flip-flops, or sneakers. And I have to say — these are just as comfy as any of those. I've probably owned 50 pair of ballet flats over the years, and I'd rank these right up there with shoes that cost three or four times as much. They fit perfectly (I love that they come in wide!) and are so comfortable to wear, even if you're doing lots of walking. Even though they're not leather, they do have some give to them. I'm so glad I bought multiple colors and will probably buy more!" —CaliGirl89Top
Get them from Amazon for $14.92+ (available in sizes 5–15, two widths, and 33 other colors).
16. A glamorous cocktail dress with a floral lace design on the neck that's equal parts spooky and chic, which is basically the ultimate aesthetic we should all strive for — even when it's not October.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress! Purchased it for my witch costume this year but definitely will be wearing it for so many other occasions. Fit just as the size would indicate and the lace is beautiful. Very delicate and comes with a nice long zipper at the back." —Dominique
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and four other styles).
17. A loose-fit top with floaty bell sleeves to add an extra touch of drama to your look and let you channel your inner butterfly — but you know, without the annoying colorful wings.
Promising review: "I loved this top so much that I bought it in red. I had already purchased it in black. I love the look and fit. It's dressy enough to be worn with skirts or slacks, but also for a more casual look with jeans." —SilkLich
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 14 other colors).
18. A pair of super lightweight Crocs with a handy ankle strap so they won't go flying off your feet while you're gallivanting around in grass.
Promising review: "I wore these shoes in NY every day for a week. They are super comfy, and pretty darn cute. I’m at an age where I’m starting to value comfort over style, but I got the best of both worlds with these shoes. I’m normally a size 8 and bought a size 8. No discomfort whatsoever." —marcie
Get it from Amazon for $26.55+ (available in sizes 4–11 and four other colors).
19. Or a pair of Sanuk Yoga Slings, which are basically like little wearable hammocks for your feet. The footbed is made with real yoga mat material, so you'll feel slightly more zen with every step.
Promising review: "OK, folks, I don't often leave product reviews, but the moment these amazing sandals/flip-flops were placed upon my feet, I swear I could hear my little tootsies SING! I have plantar fasciitis, and so I need supportive, cushy footwear. My feet are also a bit on the chubby side, so I can't wear "normal" sandals because they are always too tight...which means I normally just have to settle for flip flops, which are not always the perfect match for the outfit and situation that I am in.
These sandals are perfect! They look dressy enough to wear with a nice summery dress out to dinner, and yet not so stuffy that I couldn't throw on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt and head out to the park. They are a DREAM to walk in!!! The 'strap' material is stretchy enough to accommodate moving around and walking, and yet supportive enough to feel like these shoes won't fall off." —Scano the Mano
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 24 other colors).
20. OR! A pair of sandals that are less than $20 but look like they cost more than twice the price. It's time to free your toes — they've been locked up in your house slippers for far too long.
Promising review: "I LOVE these sandals and have bought them in multiple colors. I was reluctant at first because my feet are very narrow, but a size 7 fit me exactly as my other size 7 shoes do. The buckles are also adjustable for those with narrow or wide feet. They are super comfortable and provide a good amount of arch support. I used to get hip pain from walking in flip flops, but I haven't had it since I've worn these. I really love the variety of colors and how they go with shorts, sundresses, or even jeans. I wear them when I'm gardening, as house slippers, and going out. I would highly recommend these sandals, especially because of how cheap they are compared to many other shoes." —Kat Platt
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 35 other colors).
21. A stretchy long-sleeved dress with an eye-catching floral cutout pattern at the hem, proving LBDs are anything but boring.
Promising review: "Beautiful dress and great quality for the price. I received lots of compliments and I’m tempted to buy it in every color! Material has a bit of stretch that makes for a flattering fit." —Wineymama
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 11 other colors and styles).
22. Or this version is extended sizes with an off-the-shoulder design that you'll still be reaching for during the hottest days of summer.
Promising review: "I ordered the size I normally wear and it fits great! Got it for vacation and ended up using it as a swimsuit cover up as well; the elastic in the waist and shoulders makes it easy to get on and off." —Kira T.
Get it from Amazon for $14.08+ (available in sizes XL–4XL and 20 other colors).
23. A black racerback tank top that's technically a "basic," but has a high halter neckline and a long curved hem to make it stand out from all the truly basic tanks out there.
Promising review: "Great top!! I live in Hawaii and am always in the sun so I love a high-necked top that covers my chest. This one is extremely comfortable and flattering. It has a loose fit and the fabric is both light and super soft, but opaque enough that you can wear without a bra." —Maui Jill
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 35 other colors).
24. A stretchy "freezer dress" with moisture-wicking fabric, temperature-regulating technology, and UPF 30 sun protection, making it perfect for anyone who overheats the second they step outside.
Promising review: "This dress is SO comfy! Looks great as a casual dress and just as great as any 'dressy' dress. I love the feel of the material. Even on a hot day, it is very comfortable and doesn't stick to you." —Zuumn
Get it from Amazon for $17.60+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 55 other colors).
25. A popular maxi dress with short sleeves, but a super long length, making it perfect for those transitional days when it's way too warm for a jacket but not quite hot enough for shorts.
Promising review: "This dress is lightweight enough to wear in warmer weather, and I'm looking forward to wearing it with tights and a long cardigan well into cooler months. A blank canvas to accessorize as you like with long necklaces, boho bracelets, a wide-brimmed hat. Looks great with sandals, probably cute with snow boots. All around a versatile, staple piece. I imagine it'd be great for capsule collections.
I live with a dog who sheds fur furiously (ha), and I was easily able to shake his fur out of the dress and still go out in public. The fabric doesn't hold on to fur and, if you get a dark color, is fairly forgiving to messes and stains throughout the day, for those of us who are inclined to be a little clumsy." —Amber
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S-3XL and 42 other colors and styles).
26. Or this version with an extra comfortable sleeveless racerback design, because wearing a dress doesn't mean you can't soak up a little sun.
Promising review: "I love the fit of this dress. Perfect fit on top without squeezing, and nice flowing drape from a sort of empire waist, making for a very comfortable and forgiving style. The length is perfect, just to the top of the foot, so I can walk in flip-flops (or bare feet in the house) w/o tripping. And of course, can’t beat a dress with pockets." —Amazon Customer fb
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 38 other colors).
27. A "Black Art Matters" T-shirt dress that has a flowy spring-ready fit and a graphic print so beautiful you might just be tempted to frame it.
Domo Ink is a small Black-owned, woman-owned business based in Jurupa Valley, California.
Get it from Domo Ink for $40 (available in sizes XS–XL and also in gray).
28. A pair of earrings you can wear to prove you don't have to love vibrant colors to incorporate flowers into your look. It's the rare moment when florals for spring are truly groundbreaking.
Promising review: "These little darling earrings give just the right touch of black and gold. They are a great value and so well made. I have them in several colors and am so pleased with them." —June
Oogle is a small Etsy shop based in Freeland, Maryland.
Get it from Oogle on Etsy for $14 (available in gold filled or sterling silver).
29. A pair of lightweight athletic shorts — they're technically made for running, but we won't judge if they make you too comfortable to even think about exercise.
Promising review: "If you haven’t purchased yet, go ahead and do it right now! These are the comfiest running shorts. I’ve got bigger hips/butt which makes finding running shorts a tad harder. Other popular brands feel restrictive, but these have an extra give to them. They come up a little higher than most running shorts- which I love; even with them coming up higher, they do not look too short or like booty shorts. I’ve already ordered three additional pairs." —Haley LeBarron
Get it from Amazon for $19.19+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 14 other colors).
30. A comfortable headband with a subtle floral pattern for those of you who don't mind a pop of white in your all-black ensemble. It's also available with buttons you can use to attach your face mask to so you can give your poor sore ears a break every now and then.
Promising review: "These headbands are perfect!! So soft and comfortable. They stay put and don’t move!! They are great quality and beautiful exactly as pictured. Will be buying again!" —melissaherman2014
PrettyINLeopard is a small Etsy shop based in Blaine, Minnesota.
Get it from PrettyINLeopard on Etsy for $8.95+ (available with and without buttons).
31. And a pair of moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating joggers made of the same material as Sheex's popular sheets, so it's basically like a wearable bed.
Promising review: "I was a little skeptical due to the higher price, but these are absolutely the most comfortable pair of pants I have ever worn. I went back and bought a second pair for my husband. They are well made, extremely soft, and unbelievably comfortable." —Heather L.
Sheex is a woman-owned small business specializing in comfortable sleep essentials.
Get it from Sheex for $74 (available in sizes XS–2XL and two other colors).
