    Promising review: "I purchased this corset after watching a TikTok video of another mid-sized girl talking about it. It did not disappoint! It fits nicely, I got lots of compliments on it!

    Promising review: "I ordered this watch not expecting to be blown away because of the price. Boy, was I wrong! I immediately put on the watch as soon as I opened it up; It fits comfortably and the band wasn’t too small, which I was a little concerned about.

    reviewer in black version

    Promising review: "I always get nervous when purchasing clothing on Amazon, but was very happy with this purchase. The material is a decent weight and the cut outs at the bottom of the dress are done nicely. I'm 5'5" and the dress hits just above my knees, which is a perfect length. I don't like my clothes tight, so purchased a 3X. It's loose and flowy and hangs just right. Overall, I'm very happy with the dress. I would go a size up depending on your shape and how you like your clothes to hang." —Kathryn Mathewson

    9. A deep V-neck waist-tie dress with sweet ruffling detail so you can oh-so-casually sashay as you go on your main character walks through the park, iced coffee in hand. (A lot of reviewers also say this makes a *great* wedding guest dress!)

    Reviewer in the maroon version

    Reviewer showing back pocket of light wash version of jeans

    Promising review: "I came from TikTok and I love these. They fit literally perfectly. Mine do have some stretch too, which is nice. Because I’m tall, they were more capri on me but I don’t mind. My butt looks amazing too. Get them!" —Amazon Customer

    Reviewer image showing the back has pockets

    Promising review: "These jeggings are great! They’re super cute, soft, and fit really well. I didn’t realize they were going to be 'waist cinching' or whatever (didn’t read the description as I just saw them on TikTok and ordered), so they are right and kind of difficult to get on, but once I got them on they were snug and actually really comfortable! Probably going to order another pair!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.15+ (available in women's sizes 2–28, three inseams, and eight colors).

    14. A sleeveless halter bodysuit made with such soft, stretchy, durable material that reviewers say it's an *excellent* Zara dupe, perfect for pairing with high waisted jeans, skirts, and shorts. It's compressive enough that a lot of reviewers were also impressed that they didn't need a bra with it! 

    Promising review: "This bodysuit is extremely soft and feels expensive. It’s a perfect dupe for the Zara one everybody is wearing. It is true to size. I got a medium (my usual size) but I did not follow the product sizing chart. I'll order it in more colors." —PaoloD

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 18 colors). 

    15. A pair of breezy cotton shorts reviewers love not just because they're comfortable as heck, but because of how easy they are to dress up or down — the length and neutral colors make them super easy to wear into the office on hot summer days.

    Get it from Everlane for $50 (available in sizes 00–16 and six colors). 

    16. A compressive two-piece track suit you can get in so many cute colors that oops, you might just need one for every single day of the week!

    Reviewer in matching gray crop top and leggings
    Reviewer in the pink version

    Promising review: "This two piece set is incredible!! I was skeptical of getting both pieces together and how they’d fit, but I cannot rave about this product more. I’m a size 12 and the large is perfect for me. The compression is spot on while also giving you room to feel comfortable. The color is BEAUTIFUL... it’s the perfect oatmeal shade and I’ve gotten so many compliments. I like to take cycling classes and this set was perfect to few times I’ve worn it so far. I’d also recommend for upper body day strength training, Pilates, and yoga. If I could give this 10 stars I would!!" —Hoan Ngo

    Get it from Amazon for $28.59+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and 13 colors).

    17. A snazzy high-waisted faux leather bodycon miniskirt with some real "main character" vibes — I'm talking summer Netflix rom com *and* Hallmark winter leads, because this piece is so versatile you can wear it all year round.

    Reviewer wearing it with a t-shirt tucked in

    Promising review: "If you are seeing this, just buy the skirt!!! It exceeded my expectations. Looks as described and fits well. The skirt has some stretch. Since I sized up, my only complaint is that when I sat it would slide up my waist. I got tons of compliments on this skirt and people asking where I purchased it. BUY THIS SKIRT!!!" —JR

    Get it from Amazon for $23.97+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and eight colors). 

    18. A backless retro-inspired one-piece swimsuit that'll make you feel like you fell out of a very chic time machine. 

    Reviewer in a blue and white striped plunge neckline one piece
    Reviewer in the black and white version

    Promising review: "First I want to say that I RARELY write reviews but I am doing so in the hopes that others with my body type (short, plus-sized, AND top-heavy) will find this useful. This particular swimsuit is very well made! The colors are as vibrant as the picture, the material is thick like a typical swimsuit, and the breast area's lining feels as though it is doubled up. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of coverage that I got. The bottom is full coverage if you don't have much 'under cheek' as I like to call it. I will probably be ordering from them again! 😉" —VA_Gurl

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 16 varieties).

    19. longline sports bra so comfy, supportive, and versatile that reviewers love it both for workouts *and* errand running. Bonus — a lot of reviewers say this is an excellent Lululemon "Align" dupe! 

    Reviewer in a white V-neck crop top
    Reviewer in black version

    Promising review: "I never, never, never leave reviews on products, but with this one, it's well well worth it and I haven't even worked out in it yet! I'm a 36DD (I ordered a large for reference), so finding a good, supportive sports bra can be a bit difficult to find. I found this one the way a Gen Z'er does: TikTok. And the so-called 'Lulu Dupe' is absolutely deserving of the praise it gets! This sports bra can even double as a tank top if you're running from the gym to get coffee or to home, so it's absolutely perfect! It's such a cute top and I can't wait to see how well it supports my workouts! I bought it in dusty blue and I'll be back for more of the colors!" —Robert

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 15 colors). 


    20. A roomy denim jacket that will basically become your emotional support denim when you realize how seamlessly it works with all your dresses and tees.

    Promising review: "Love this jacket! Pretty sure I wear it four to five times a week. Love the oversized fit, not too large that it looks ridiculous. Has four functional pockets (two outside and two inside) which are really nice. I’m able to fit my phone, keys, and wallet easily without looking bulky. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!" —Moni W.

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

    21. A vintage-y floral cardigan you're pretty much *legally* obligated to wear whenever you're listening to Harry Styles, it's just the vibe 🌻.  

    Promising review: "This sweater is SUPER cute quality and fits like a glove!  Overall, this sweater is definitely great for the spring time and the material is very cozy and soft!" —Maya Herring

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in one size to fit S–XL and in six colors). 

    22. A pair of high-waisted flared crossover leggings from Aerie so buttery smooth and high performance the original nonflared version of them went outta stock for MONTHS once TikTokers blew up their spot — reviewers swear by these for workouts and lounging alike.

    Promising review: "Worth the TikTok hype! Saw these on 25% off so I decided to buy and I don’t regret. So comfy and fit really nicely! I’m 5’4 so I went with the short style and they fit perfectly, they don’t touch the floor or are too short. The material is super smooth and feel like an everyday pants." —Aerie Customer

    Get it from Aerie for $37.46 (originally $49.95; available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, long and short sizes, and seven colors). 

    23. A pair of lightweight chunky hoop earrings perfect for anyone who is *very* picky about their aesthetic — you can get these in three different colors and four different sizes to make sure they exactly suit your vibe. Reviewers also love how comfy they are for all-day wear!

    Promising review: "OMG I’m obsessed with these earrings. They’re so pretty and lightweight. I never usually order earrings off Amazon but decided to get some since I saw them on TikTok. They’re great quality and I usually can’t wear fake jewelry since it makes my ears itch like crazy. This one didn’t do that at all. Another problem I have is earrings being super uncomfortable to sleep in but this one doesn’t do that either. I’m going to literally get every single size they have since I love it so much. Highlyyy recommend." —Ziyana Iyer

    Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes and three colors). 

    24. A black denim skirt overall so you can toe the line between nostalgic and edgy at the same time (this with a COMBAT BOOT, though!!). 

    Model in a black denim overall with a skirt bottom
    Asos

    Get it from Asos for $37 (available in sizes 14–24). 

    25. A set of rain cloud ear jackets so cute that you'll basically *beg* the weather app for rain just so you have an excuse to wear them for the bajillionth day in a row.

    KellanKeira/Etsy

    Get them from Kellan & Keira on Etsy for $26.50 (available in three colors).

    26. A pair of garment-dyed pale green shorts for a refresh on a classic fit (no disrespect to regular "mom jean"-style denim shorts, who have been carrying summer on their backs for decades). 

    Model in high waisted sage green denim shorts
    Madewell

    Get it from Madewell for $78 (available in sizes 23–33). 

    27. A sweet, breezy baby doll top you'll want to flounce around in like you fell out of a storybook (Giselle can come after you for stealing the plot to Enchanted for your own life purposes later). 

    Model in V-neck lace-edged pink empire waist top with cut out shoulders
    Torrid

    Get it from Torrid for $31.85 (originally $45.50; available in sizes M–6X). 

    28. A dreamy tulle skirt with a satin ribbon for an adjustable waist, meaning you are one chic purchase away from making this the Sisterhood Of The Traveling Tulle Skirt. (Because honestly, when *doesn't* the occasion call for one?)

    A reviewer in the white skirt

    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 $26.99 (one size with adjustable waist; available in 22 colors)

    29. A retro-inspired scarf to add some effortless glam to your outfit during any season — this is basically a "declaring yourself the main character" life hack no matter how you decide to wear it. 

    A reviewer wearing the pink scarf as a top
    A reviewer wearing the black and gold scarf around their head

    Promising review: "I actually get compliments on this all the time. I just bought it as a cheap little way to accent my black purse and people are shocked when I say it's just an $8 scarf off Amazon. The print looks great and it's really soft. You can definitely tell it's not an expensive scarf if you spend some time touching/looking at it. But, it's a great accessory that apparently fools passersby!" —Katie Payne

    Get it from Amazon for $8.91 (available in 45 colors and patterns).

    30. A pair of tequila shot earrings, or as they deserve to be called, "Summer Friday" earrings. This adorably unique pair comes with a tequila shot, salt, and lime, proving that your ears aren't just perked for the words "happy hour," but fully embodying them, too. 

    Model with a dangling earring with a salt, then shot, then lime charm
    Bauble Bar

    Get it from Bauble Bar for $48 (and check out the rest of the happy hour and summer-themed earrings for more unique options!).

    model in the above the knee light blue and white gingham swing dress
    reviewer in the black and white gingham version

    Promising review: "I LOVE this dress!! The material is so lightweight that it’s perfect for summer, and then the buffalo plaid will also look cute and trendy in fall with a jean jacket! Plus I LOVE that there are pockets. The dress is made really well; I was pleased to see it also had a lining so it’s not at all transparent. I saw another review that said it ran a little small and as someone between two sizes I sized up and I’m glad I did. I like that it is more flowy and comfortable-fitting! I will be wearing this dress all summer and then some!" —Theresa St Peter

    Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in seven prints).

    32. A cold-shoulder dress so chic and beachy that every single one of your friends is going to be like "UMMMMM??" before they demand the link to buy one for themselves. 

    Reviewer wearing a black cold shoulder dress with green tropical leaves on it
    Reviewer showing side angle of the cold shoulder sleeve

    Promising review: "This dress is SPECTACULAR! It’s so light and airy and comfortable. The waistband is elastic so it's stretchy, but the fabric itself is not. There’s a nice, breezy split on the leg. I immediately felt like a goddess as soon as I put this on! If you’re considering this — BUY IT!! It can be dressed down or up! Perfect for summer parties, cruises, weddings, vacations whatever! I am definitely going to order more!" —Angela Tims

    Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes L–3XL and 10 colors). 

    33. A minimalist mood ring for anyone who spent a large portion of the '90s jumping up and down to get their body heat up enough so their mood ring would say they're in love 💕.

    Honeycat Jewelry/Etsy

    Honeycat Jewelry is a California-based, women-owned Etsy shop established in 2014 by two BFFs that specializes in affordable fine jewelry. 

    Promising review: "I love this ring! It's a cute, dainty version of a nostalgic throwback. I got it a few days ago and so far, the quality is great. I wear it all the time!" —Jean Marie

    Get it from Honeycat Jewelry on Etsy for $21 (available in three colors and sizes 4–11). 

    34. A tulle ruffle-shoulder bodysuit that pretty much legally *demands* you frolic in it. I mean it, y'all. Do not mess with the Frolic Police. 

    A reviewer in the black sleeveless bodysuit with sheer tulle puff shoulders

    Promising review: "Love this bodysuit!! I wore it for my birthday brunch and felt bougie in all the right ways! I had a ton of girls ask me where I got it and they were shocked when I told them Amazon." —Cassidy D.

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and eight colors and styles).

    35. A roomy convertible backpack and handbag, aka The One Bag To Rule Them All. Not only will this easily adapt to whatever outfit or vibe you've got going on that day, but it's filled to the *brim* with oh-so-handy inner pockets so you can perfectly organize yourself on days when you need it most.

    Promising review: "This is a great backpack/purse! I had another one I had purchased a while back and it was starting to fall apart. The material on this one feels much more durable and it has a lot more storage. I love the two zippers on the front for easy to access items like my lip balm. The slide pockets easily fit my water bottle and my phone. The zipper to get inside is against your back, so people can’t easily open it and steal things while you are wearing it. I have a changing pad, diapers, wipes, an extra set of clothes for my son, my wallet, and there is a lot of extra space inside still. This is perfect for what I needed." —K Jackson

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes and 25 colors). 

    36. A ruffle baby doll dress made with material so cute and flow-y that your newest endorsable LinkedIn skill might just be "frolicking."

    Promising review: "This dress is perfect for casual or a little dressed up. The fit is just as it looks on the model. The material is so comfortable. My favorite thing about this dress is when you accessorize it, it changes the entire look. Tiered dresses are so in and I’m using this dress to transition my outfits. I wore this with flat sandals and then again with a belted waist, a beige hat and some booties. I need ALL the colors. COMPLETELY SATISFIED." —ITSCO

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes S–2XL and in six colors).

    37. A detachable shirt collar that will *instantly* elevate an outfit without having to contend with finagling a whole expensive, uncomfy shirt under your sweater.

    Closeup of reviewer wearing the collar with a floral shirt

    Promising review: "Must-have life hack! I saw someone get this off of TikTok and I totally loved it. It does exactly what you’d want it to do. The shirt can unbutton if you need it to, it’s super easy to put on. I love that it gives the illusion I have a collared shirt under without the hassle of wearing an actual collared shirt!!" —Danny

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors and in round and pointed collars).

    38. A velvety tank top with a little bit of slinky stretch to it, making it the perfect staple for those days you need something glamorous to wear but wanna be comfy as heck.

    Promising review: "Buy more than one! I love this top! You can't beat the price for the quality. Fits as expected, hitting at the hip and loose at the bust. This is a great layering piece under a jacket or sweater and can hold its own when worn alone. I highly recommend it. It will become a staple in your wardrobe." —jillmarieg

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