    Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 12 colors).

    2. A button-down shirt dress with a sash-tie belt that would show up in the dictionary next to the definition of "understated elegance."

    Promising review: "I love this cardigan! Wore it out on my trip to LA and got tons of compliments from my friends and strangers! It comes in one size, and the fit was a little oversized, which is what I wanted. I washed it once and it did shrink a little bit to fit me a lot better. The material does not feel cheap at all, I was actually surprised at how thick it was. The color was what I was expecting. Overall this sweater did not disappoint! It took maybe two weeks to arrive, but the wait was worth it!" —khanghy nguyen

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in one size and in 10 colors).

    5. A lightweight velvety tank top because velvet is a magical fabric that's luxuriously soft and comfy while still looking fancy and fresh as all heck.

    Promising review: "I can't believe how great this top is for the price. Not only is it cute, but it's also comfortable! The fabric has a bit of a stretch to it and does not feel heavy at all. So far the quality seems great but only time will tell. I'd highly suggest buying this! I feel like it will become a new staple in my wardrobe." —Alison Wildes

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 16 colors).

    6. A ribbed one-shoulder top with a built-in bra so you can rock that shoulder-baring top without spending all day making sure your bra stays in place. A modern-day miracle.

    Klassy Network

    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."

    Get it from Klassy Network for $42 (available in sizes XS–3XL and in three colors).

    7. A graphic Ascot + Hart sweatshirt to satisfy all you loungewear lovers who prefer a loud and proud print to a muted, monochrome moment.

    Promising review: "I find it very difficult to order clothing on Amazon, they are usually way off on sizing. Material is great, soft, and the fit is perfect to wear with a nice pair of boots, etc. I sized up and it was a good fit." —Donna Jarock

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 15 colors).

    9. A sweat-wicking full-length bodysuit if all your recent wardrobe updates have one key thing in common — comfort. This piece boasts a soft, next-to-naked feel for a versatile second skin you'll be wearing on repeat.

    Promising review: "I got this bodysuit when I was 8 months pregnant and it fit like a glove. I'm now 10 days postpartum and it — still fits like a glove! Basically, this bodysuit is magical and I am already hoping to get it in other colors! It's super comfortable, feels like wearing nothing at all, looks incredible, and is just an overall win on every aspect. 10/10 would recommend." —Susana A.

    Get it from Universal Standard for $78+ (originally $98; available in sizes 4XS–4XL and in five colors). 

    10. An oversized houndstooth sweater vest for convincing people you're a proper style influencer with a cozy lightweight layer chic enough to become your entire personality.

    Promising review: "Love this! Well worth the price! I paired it with a white turtleneck underneath, but the options are limitless here. Was surprised at the quality of this item...it’s very soft and thick. Which isn’t wasn’t what I expected at all. Would definitely, and might, buy again very soon!" —Jon Evans

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–L and in 18 styles).

    11. A pair of high-waisted faux leather leggings because you've been eyeing another (more expensive) pair of internet-famous pleather leggings for a while, and this is a cheaper alternative that achieves the same great look.

    Promising review: "OMG!! Literally the best! Sizing was true to size. They're thick, not see through. They're EXACTLY like Spanx. I had a pair of the Spanx leggings and lost them. I ordered these last minute for my vacation and I was shocked at the quality for the price. Buy it! You will not regret it!" —Boca Doce Baking

    Get it from Amazon for $47.31 (available in sizes XS–4X and in four colors).

    12. A tie-back ruffled crop top so darn trendy it can make even your oldest pair of go-to jeans feel fresh.

    Promising review: "In LOVE with this top! It is actually way cuter in person. I received so many compliments and loved how comfortable it is to wear, and how it matches with many different outfits. One of my girlfriends ended up buying it after seeing me wear it." —Jules

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 33 colors).

    13. A pleated midi skirt to wow the crowd in a notice-me shade of vibrant metallic. It's one of those pieces that can make even your oldest (only slightly tattered) T-shirt look like a million bucks.

    Promising review: "This is a beautiful skirt; it looks just like in the product photos. The fabric actually feels very luxurious, not thin as you might expect from the price. It was a tremendous bargain at the price I paid. I absolutely love it!" —DoctorG

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 24 colors).

    14. A rib-knit ruched crop top with an adjustable drawstring that makes it easy to customize how much skin you want to show. The soft, stretchy fabric says loungewear while the trendy crop silhouette screams nothing but high style.

    Promising review: "I love this shirt. You can wear it at several different lengths. It is a soft stretchy material. Not see-through at all. Very comfortable for wearing all day and night. Pair this with a skirt or cute pair of jeans!" —Katrina

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 22 styles).

    15. A swingy pleated mini skirt if you love everything about tennis club style except for the playing tennis part.

    Target

    Promising review: "Absolutely love this skirt. I bought the plaid one initially, and went back to purchase another. It’s a good length, and don’t find it to be too see-through. Maybe could’ve gone down to a size XS as there was a bit of gapping in the back of the skirt, but it fits perfectly when wearing over a shirt/sweater." —Target Customer

    Get it from Target for $19 (available in sizes XS–2X and in three colors).

    16. A versatile racerback crop top for doing just about everything in. It's soft, breathable, and supportive enough to work out in, but the sleek silhouette is also going-out-approved.

    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 $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 16 colors). 

    17. An off-the-shoulder rhinestone-embellished fishnet bodysuit because no one would argue you're in a style rut when this glamorous layer adorns your body.

    Promising review: "This is beautiful and sparkly! I love the material, and feels more expensive than it was! You are getting a great product! Can’t rave enough! You get this in beautiful packaging! That detail is something I never thought I cared for, but it was lovely!" —Angelie Reyes

    Get the set from Amazon for $12.90+ (available in one size and six colors).

    18. A stretchy sport skirt with built-in shorts and a perfectly sized phone pocket so your hands are free to do more important things like hold your iced coffee.

    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: "Love how soft they are and the pocket under the skirt is so convenient for my iPhone. The skirt hits mid-thigh. Washed in cold water and dried and it came out great! I got the turquoise and the color is so pretty. I wear it with a racerback top and it looks so sporty! I would order again." —Jeanne

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 22 styles).

    19. A bold printed button-up shirt to toss on when you want effortless good looks and lots of compliments.

    Promising review: "I love this shirt! I get compliments every time I wear it. I am usually leery about ordering clothes online due to color inaccuracy or ill-fitting, but the size chart was true to fit, and the colors are vibrant — you get exactly what you see. The material is soft and comfortable. I'm going to order another one in a different color right now, especially since the price is so reasonable." —Anna

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 18 styles).

    20. A show-stopping ruffled one-piece swimsuit that'll looks just as good worn as a bodysuit under shorts or a sarong as it does alone when you're splashing around the pool.

    Get it from WRAY for $75+ (originally $215; available in sizes XXS–6XL and in six styles). 

    22. A faux leather moto jacket for adding just the right amount of warmth (and attitude) to your fit without looking overly bundled up on kinda-hot, kinda-cold spring days.

    Be sure to double-check the size chart for your specific measurements! Some reviewers recommend sizing up, especially if you want to layer bulkier clothes underneath.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this jacket! It's very nice quality for the price and is much softer than other pleather jackets I've had in the past. It was also warmer than I was expecting, so that's a definite plus. It does run small. I'm typically a small/medium, and the large fits me well with room for a sweater underneath. I would definitely recommend this to someone looking for a more affordable alternative to the leather jacket look." —MS

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 29 styles).

    23. An off-the-shoulder bell-sleeve top because it's always good to have a piece in your proverbial back pocket that's reliably comfy, breezy, and lightweight to dress up a pair of denim cutoffs.

    Get it from Amazon for $28.98 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 13 styles).

    24. A mega-full tulle skirt so you can bring big main character energy to your day-to-day.

    Promising review: "I was very surprised with how this item came out! I used it for pictures with my baby, and it was such a great quality for the price. The size, color, and even the poof of the skirt was spot on. It was flat in the package, but once I took it out and fluffed it up, it was just like the picture!!" —ABM

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (one size with adjustable waist; available in 20 colors).

    25. A flirty gingham skirt to help you break away from your warm-weather shorts and T-shirt uniform with an equally comfortable, frilled alternative.

    Promising review: "I LOVE THIS SWIM TOP! The bottoms were way too small, but I already expected that after reading the reviews and to be honest I only purchased it for the top. The top is great quality and is adorable. To me the top looks longer in the picture versus in person. Definitely worth the money. You may want to order one size larger than normal. I ordered my regular size (XXL) and it's a bit tight, but I don't mind since it's a swimsuit." —Madison Adams

    Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 35 colors and prints).

    27. A matching floral crop top and pants set if you're a sucker for a matching set (*raises hand*), especially one as comfortable and effortlessly chic as this.

    Promising review: "This top is so much better than I had anticipated. The fabric, the quality, the cut, comfort, and versatility are superb!!! I’m so happy. I’ll def be ordering a few more colors. Do it! You won’t regret it. FYI: the wraparound style makes it super easy to wear normally or off the shoulder and your placement can be exactly where you want. I can’t give this top enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" —Daniel

    Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 19 colors).

    29. A lightweight, puff-sleeve tiered dress because sometimes a dress comes along that's even easier and breezier than your favorite sweats. This is that dress.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I LOVE this dress. It’s so versatile, lightweight, and NOT see-through. I can wear it into the office when paired with the right shoes/heels, can wear it casually with boots/sneakers, and I always get a compliment on this dress anytime I wear it. At first, I was worried because I’m petite (5’2”) and I thought this might swallow me/make me look like Dobby the Elf, but I absolutely love this dress and how it makes me look. If you’re looking for a great and multi-use dress, then look no further." —JordanM

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 11 styles).

    30. A pleated polka-dot midi skirt with a comfy elastic waistband so you can exude the type of easy sophistication that only comes when you look good *and* feel good.

    Promising review: "This is officially my favorite clothing purchase on Amazon! I love it so much that I ordered several colors. Be aware that not all skirts are the same length, give or take an inch. The skirt is not lined but has pockets. It's super cute with a tucked-in top and booties. I also hemmed it about 2 inches because I like more calf action. Overall, I love this skirt! It holds up in the wash and will last a while." —MC

    Get it from Amazon for $29.89+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 13 colors).

    31. A printed wrap crop top to introduce some bright and bold prints to your wardrobe full of solid-color basics.
