Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A stretchy off-the-shoulder jumpsuit because its earned an impressive amount of 5-star ratings for how soft, lightweight, and incredibly versatile it is. Loads of reviewers have even picked it up in multiple colors!
Promising review: "I actually really like this jumpsuit. It’s very comfortable. The material is thin enough to be a breathable fabric but thick enough to not be see-through. I would and will buy another one." —Danielle Delgado
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and in 39 styles).
2. A pair of incredibly versatile high-waisted leggings so you can lounge, work out, and go out all in the same pair of super soft and stretchy leggings that feel lightweight without being see-through.
A testament to these stretchy wonders — tons of reviewers say these leggings have been by their side before, during, and after pregnancy!
Promising review: "I've had these pants over a year and worn them probably 350 times, and they still look great. They don't pill or anything. They are soo soft and comfortable and breathable. They are like everyday leggings not workout leggings even though I have worked out in them, too. They can be dressed up or down. I've had the black this whole time and just got the gray. Love!" —E’smom
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in one size, plus size, and in 25 styles).
3. Or these high-waisted cutout leggings if you want the same elite comfort and buttery softness with a bit more edge. You thought the "rips" just looked cool, but they also double as sneaky ventilation to keep you cool.
Promising review: "These are legitimately SO comfortable. I got them in a size medium I believe and seriously cannot tell you how many more I’m going to get. They fit snugly on your waist, and they are BREATHABLE which is something that I can’t say for all. The quality is so soft, and they’re honestly pretty easy to put on. I will be ordering many more to come." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 17 colors).
4. A moisture-wicking sleeveless workout dress that's equipped with a built-in bra, adjustable straps, and pocketed shorts for a versatile style that's as fashionable as it is functional.
Promising review: "This dress is AMAZING. I love the removable bra pads. This is a dress you could work out in. The material is very breathable, and I LOVE how deep the pockets are. They easily fit my iPhone 11. I hardly ever order clothes online because I’m so picky with how clothes fit. This is a winner. I’m going to buy more colors!! Just buy it!" —Manda
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 11 colors/patterns).
5. A double-lined racerback crop top for a versatile closet staple that's soft, breathable, and supportive enough to work out in, but with a sleek silhouette that's totally going out-approved.
FYI — this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give them a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "This is my new fave everyday tank — so comfy and stretchy. It’s double layered so you don’t have to wear a bra and still get support. The fabric is kinda like a sports bra so it’s super breathable. Absolutely recommend, definitely need more color options!! :)" —Jenna
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 23 colors).
6. A pair of lightweight tapered joggers to finally give all your inferior (aka sagging, stiff, and scratchy) lounge pants a chance to retire. This supremely soft style strikes a fine line between jogger and legging, making it perfect for just about everything from exercising and errands to enjoying a glass of wine on the couch.
Promising review: "These are my favorite, and I had to buy it in another color. They are thin and breathable without being sheer or worrying about them tear. They are well-made, and I don't have to worry about chaffing wearing away any material." —Katie
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 16 colors).
7. A pair of casual wide-leg overalls because it'll snag you loads of compliments out at brunch, yet is comfortable enough to see you through that post-mimosa nap.
Because these are 100% cotton, reviewers recommend sizing up to account for shrinking or sticking with your regular size and line drying them.
Promising review: "Love these and so glad I bit the bullet and purchased! I wear over a black shirt, and it’s the perfect outfit for looking on trend yet staying comfortable. Breathable cotton, double pockets, and adjustable straps!" —ShelB
Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes XS–5XL and in 20 colors).
8. A pair of flowy running shorts so you can confuse everyone at the gym. Is it a tennis skirt? Shorts? Or something else entirely? Either way, you'll be crushing your workouts and looking good doing it.
Promising review: "I love these shorts! They are so comfortable. The shorts are so comfortable that I wear them to bed. They are breathable and perfect to work out in! I bought these for a Halloween costume, and they became my favorite pair of shorts. The material is so smooth and soft. I also love that there is a pocket so that there is somewhere to put your phone while you are working out." —Amie Pike
Get it from Amazon for $16.19 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 38 colors/styles).
9. A pull-on sleeveless maxi dress if you've got a zero-tolerance policy for anything that can't be describe as "easy breezy" when temperatures creep up past 75 degrees.
10. A lightweight flowy longline cardigan that you can toss on over LITERALLY ANYTHING for added sun protection that won't instantly make you melt or a little extra warmth come sundown.
It's available in one size that typically fits sizes XS–3XL.
Promising review: "This piece is every bit as soft and flowy as you could want it. I bought the gray and black. Love it. The material is a fine, woven rayon, not the plastic-y artificial chiffon you so often find. Cool, breathable, and feather-light. Highly recommend." —Jan Brady!
Get it from. Amazon for $24.99 (available in one size and in 45 colors/prints).
11. A super comfy loose sitting jumpsuit for a new lounge staple that feels a bit more grown-up and coordinated than the leggings and T-shirt you won in that 5K six years ago.
The regular fit is pretty baggy (great four lounging), but if you want something slightly more form-fitting, reviewers suggest ordering a size smaller than your usual.
Promising review: "I was not sure what to expect from this jumpsuit, but it fits perfectly and is soo comfortable. I thought it would be more of a loungewear outfit, but it’s cute enough to wear out casually. The fabric is breathable but not see-through." —Laura
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 20 styles).
12. A pair of high-waisted biker shorts with over 57,000 5-star ratings to do just about anything in — lounge, exercise, wear under dresses, or don alone with your favorite top for a comfy look that won't leave you sweating bullets.
FYI — this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give them a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "I have only recently began wearing actual shorts. I've always had thick thighs and hated how most shorts either rode up in the middle as I walked, or my thighs chaffed. These shorts are the answer to all my previous dilemmas. They fit true-to-size. They are comfy and breathable while also not being see-through at ALL! I will be purchasing several more of these as they have became my new favorite article of clothing. Oh, and the absolute best part is they have POCKETS!!!!! Pockets on the legs not on the waistband like most biker shorts or leggings, which is super inconvenient to use. A large enough pocket on each leg to comfortably hold my phone in its case! These are the perfect shorts IMO." —Allison Clay
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes XS–6XL, three lengths, and 43 colors/styles).
13. Some budget-friendly period underwear because handling Aunt Flo really can be as easy as...well...putting on your underwear. This affordable pair can absorb the equivalent of two tampons so you can go about your day (or night) without fretting about unexpected leakages or turning to disposable pads that tend to feel like a sweaty diaper come summertime.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up! For more info, check out BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord's full Bambody period underwear review.
Promising review: "These are amazing! Very comfortable. I don't know how they are with leak protection; I got them to use in conjunction with my flex discs and for after my period so I don't have to use liners anymore. They're not hot and felt breathable especially compared to wearing a liner. Hopefully, I can afford to get another set so I have enough for the week because washing and drying them properly is a little time consuming." —Crystal
Get it from Amazon for $11+ (available in sizes 4–13, sold individually or as multipacks in various colors).
14. A mock neck puff sleeve blouse so you give your sleeveless tank tops a well-deserved break without fear of melting the instant you walk outside.
15. A pair of lightweight slitted trousers if you thought pants were a no-go come summer. Think again! These have got the built-in ventilation you need to stay cool, with the elastic waistband you need to stay comfortable.
Promising review: "If you are on the fence with buying these pants...just do it! You won't regret it. They are SO comfortable, and the slits on the sides make it breathable to be able to wear in the summer. I bought the white, and they are NOT see-through. You can dress them up or down." —lnarthur
Get it from Amazon for $35.98 (available in sizes S–4XL and in 22 colors/prints).
16. An organic cotton fit and flare midi dress that's buttery soft, features a built-in shelf bra, and even has pockets big enough for your phone. I crown, thee, the champion of all sundresses!
I bought this same dress last spring (in a now retired print), and it IMMEDIATELY became a frequently in-rotation staple. The fabric is thick and substantial (i.e. durable) yet very breathable and not hot — being able to skip the bra helps. Those were my baseline hopes for this dress, which it delivered on splendidly. What I didn't expect was how this manages to be the only dress where I can utilize the massive pockets without having the whole thing look bulgy and feeling weighed down. A true feat in sundress engineering, if you ask me.
Get it from Pact for $44 (originally $74; available in sizes XS–XXL and in 11 styles).
17. These super soft drawstring capri pants with functional pockets for a versatile style that's got all the stretch you could ever need, whether you're striking poses at yoga or on your couch watching RuPaul's Drag Race.
Promising review: "These capris are amazing. So comfortable and easy to slip on. Easy to move in and with pockets! Really great in warm weather because they are breathable. I was so pleased I ordered another pair. Love this product!" —Kimberly Renee Prevo
Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in sizes S–4XL and in 16 styles).
18. A casual collared long-sleeve blouse to bring some ~buttoned-up~ polish to your wardrobe without ever straying into boring territory. You'll be praising the long sleeves inside your AC-blasted office, but thankful for the breathability when you step outside for lunch.
Promising review: "This top is just PERFECT!! 🤩 I have to say this is one of the best shirts I’ve ever purchased! I bought it for a retro theme party. Believe me when I say all the reviews here are completely true, you will be getting compliments all night! The colors are popping and very vibrant! Match it with a red lipstick if you’d like. 💄 😉 I wore this on hot summer night, and the top still felt cool and breathable! I’d definitely recommend buying it even for any occasion!" —Priscilla
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 29 colors/prints).
19. A comfy Warner's wire-free bra because you've got 99 bra-blems but loads of boob sweat won't be one of them with this bra's cloud-level comfort and lightweight support.
FYI — this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give them a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "I adore these bras. Very comfortable fit, super lightweight and breathable fabric. The perfect bra for me!" —sarah lee
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and in 15 colors).
And here are some more wireless bras, if you're looking for similar styles!
20. A flared mini skater skirt with built-in shorts so you can simply pull it on and head out without the rigmarole of finding not-too-bulky shorts to layer underneath for modesty and/or comfort reasons.
Promising review: "One of my favorite purchases from Amazon. I love this skirt. Love that shorts are attached! It’s the perfect skirt for dressing modestly, and can match with many things in my closet. Favorite things to pair it with are my sheer tights and black turtleneck. Confused on the sheer rating, since it’s not sheer at all. Material is durable but breathable." —Alana Miranda
Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in sizes XS–4XL and in 37 colors/prints).
21. A stretchy bodycon pencil dress if you want clothing that hugs your curves without making you feel like a sweaty sausage casing. Reviewers say this dress molds to your body, but is lightweight enough to be a strong warm weather option.
Promising review: "The material has two layers, and is thick enough that if you did not want to wear a bra, you could. It’s very soft and literally molds to your body. I normally wear a medium in jumpsuits, but for this dress, I tried a small just so it would fit to my body better and bring out more curves. It’s breathable, great during hot weather. The colors shown are just as they are when you receive it in the mail, so don’t worry about dull or blotchy colors or colors not matching what you ordered. Overall, very happy with this dress." —Briana Parris
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in 23 colors).
22. A knit collared T-shirt that's a fun, retro-inspired update to your basic tee collection with a slight crop to help you avoid any "it's way too hot for this" shirt tucking.
Promising review: "I was looking for a simple, cute top to wear with jeans, and this was a great choice. I ordered the light blue, and it is true to color and size. It hugs your body but not in a tight/suffocating way, and the material is VERY breathable. Feels almost as if I am wearing a pajama/workout top. The color is thicker and stays in place well. There is a bit of extra material on the inside of the shirt along the V-neck dip, but just keep an eye on it if you ever need to adjust your shirt by pulling the sides down. Overall great top, and I plan to order more colors." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 13 colors).
23. A lightweight twist bodycon dress with a cooling front cutout for an easy summer staple you'll be reaching for all season long.
Promising review: "Normally I wouldn't try to pull this dress off. But we went to Jamaica and I figured if I looked horrible I'd probably never see those people again so it didn't matter. Turns out, the dress was amazing. Perfect amount of breathable without being sheer. The cut and fit was so great. I got a ton of compliments from other women at the resort wanting to know where I got it!" —Tiff Fish
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 45 colors/prints).
24. A high-waisted A-line midi skirt to fill the jean-sized hole left behind when you packed away your winter clothes. This breezy alternative pairs well with loads of styles, and features a saucy side slit you'll especially love on hot days.
Promising review: "I have received so many compliments when I am in this skirt, it gives me so much confidence. The skirt is so flowy and breathable, and I absolutely love it that I bought it in another color same size but noticed the sizing was off by a bit, but I’ll manage." —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 40 colors).
25. A linen cropped bubble top because it features a voluminous design with minimal fabric-on-body contact for those days when it's basically too hot to even wear a shirt but a little thing called the law ~respectfully~ disagrees.
FYI — this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give them a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "The perfect crop top to wear with high-waisted pants or skirts. Material is breathable and perfect for hot summer days. The puff shoulders are on trend and very cute. Well constructed and comfortable to wear." —Love2Cook
Get it from Amazon for $39.90 (available in sizes XXS–5X and in four colors).
26. A short sleeve tie-waist dress so your go-to jeans and tee combo can be subbed with its equally versatile but endlessly cooler cousin — the almighty T-shirt dress.
Promising review: "I love how breathable the fabric is. ... I wore this in Las Vegas, and it kept me comfortable all day walking around, I even dressed it up with heels and jewelry, wore it to a nice dinner that evening." —Hannah
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes L–4XL and in 11 colors).
27. A pair of cozy drawstring bermuda shorts if you're not much of a short shorts person. This knee-length option is no less comfortable (maybe even more so).
Promising reviews: "Really durable, comfortable, breathable, and a good length." —Michelle Carabello-Landefeld
"I love the brand's yoga pants so I thought I would try the shorts. I am so glad I did; they are as comfy and soft as the yoga pants, the length is perfect and are great for working out, walking, or running errands. They can be dressed up with a cute sleeveless top for lunch with friends." —Kristy
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in S–4XL and in 15 colors).
