Promising review: "Honestly I don’t often leave reviews for things, but I am so satisfied with this purchase. It’s such a great price for a good lacy bodysuit and a great style. You can wear it in the bedroom but probably also out — I plan to wear it with a black skirt or jeans! If you’re looking for a little more support, wear a black bra(lette) underneath for a good look as well." —Sara
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes S-XXL and in 10 colors).
TBH, this crossed my radar because of Stephanie Buttermore, a popular YouTuber who shares Stories of her gym routines on Instagram — but I've had a few friends who do yoga, lifting, and lower impact activities swear by these both for workouts and for just chilling in.
Promising review: "Hands-down best crop ever! I usually buy Lululemon and this beats anything I’ve bought there. Quality is amazing. Best feature is YOU DON'T HAVE TO WEAR A BRA! Comes with it built in. I will be buying it in every color. For reference. I’m a 32D bra size 8 in Lululemon sports bras. I bought a large and it’s perfect!" —Christinaaaaa10
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in women's sizes S-XXL and 19 colors).
Promising review: "No waist gap! These are the '90s classic jeans I've been searching for! The material is structured, yet comfy, and fits my curves perfectly. I love the wash. I usually struggle with waist gaps, but not with these jeans. I'm not a fan of the button fly trend, but it works on these because of the roomy seat (i.e. I don't have to struggle to get them to button)." —Mmmmml
Get it from Everlane for $78 (available in sizes 23-33, in four washes, and in two lengths).
These shorts come in a bazillion rotating colors because they sell out so quickly you might blink and miss them. I own a pair in pink (that is me being v cheeky above) and can confirm that they are so comfortable that I genuinely had to look down and make sure I wasn't naked a few times, but still opaque enough to venture out into the world without worrying about everyone seeing your booty. I probably own 10 pairs of bike shorts now (don't look at me), and these are the comfiest by far.
Promising review: "From the comfortable stretching fabric to the integrated design, these are my go-to for exercise shorts or when I want a little more under a short dress. Even the label info is printed, so no bumps, seams or uncomfortable tags to worry about. So comfortable you could forget you have them on." —Larimar
Get it from Free People for $20 (available in women's sizes XS-L and five colors).
Promising review: "Love these biker shorts! These are SO popular right now and I’m so glad I found some for such a good price. They are super soft and stretchy - more legging material and are just long enough for what I need. Definitely recommend!😍" — Marissa
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in sizes S-3X and 72 prints).
Psst — this is an *excellent* dupe for the more expensive ~Nap Dresses~ that have gained popularity in the last year!
Promising review: "Ethereally beautiful!! This dress is absolutely LOVELY. It’s so lightweight, breezy, and comfortable. It fits perfectly, and the bodice has plenty of stretch so if you’re in between sizes, you could go either way. I actually sized down because I wanted to wear it on the shoulders and didn’t want the sleeves slipping off, but I didn’t have an issue with that at all. It’s wrinkly when it arrives, but a quick steam makes it look so much nicer and more expensive than it is. I got the sage green color and it’s not see-through, it’s beautiful. (I actually returned it in favor of a color I thought I’d wear more, but if green is your fave then you’ll love it). Get this dress!" —Laura
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in women's sizes XS-XL and in nine colors).
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
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in women's sizes 0X-4X and 16 styles).
Promising review: "I bought both colors available because I loved the look of the top! There are no cup liners, but it isn't thin so I didn't feel exposed. I do medium intensity workouts and have a smaller chest and felt supported and comfortable. I wish there were more colors available because I love it so much!" —staceymay
Get it from Amazon for $28.43+ (available in sizes XS–XL and also in black).
Promising review: "I love this shirt so much! It’s soft and fits true to size! It fits just the way I would want, not too tight and not very loose either! I love this color combo but I will probably get others too because it is very comfortable and an easy casual look to put together." —Jennifer Alviso
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight colors and sizes S-XXL).
Promising review: "I really liked the material and quality of this shirt! I wasn’t expecting it to be such good quality for that price! It is soft, fits well, and I love the design. Great purchase!" —Laurel

Promising review: "RUN TO BUY. Absolutely love these shorts! Fit is amazing; they are so comfortable and match everything. They are roomy but not enough to size down. It’s more of a super comfy fit that still makes me feel really good in them! I have the black and the dark blue. Love them both!" –Jacob H.
Get it from Amazon for $12.88+ (available in sizes S-2XL and 45 washes).
Promising review: "Best shirt I have ever found! I generally only wear t-shirts and jeans. So, when it comes to T-shirts, I'm a bit of a snob and a connoisseur. Generally speaking, the vast majority of t-shirts available are too thin. They are made with a very light material. They tend to shrink badly, become misshapen and wear out quickly. These K87 T-shirts are the best I've found. They are made with a very heavy material and obviously will last a long time. They launder well and do not noticeably fade after several washings. They are soft and comfortable. I generally make it a rule never to give free advertising to a company by wearing their branded attire. These Carhartt shirts do have branding on the L chest pocket, but it is small and understated, so I make an exception by wearing them. These have become my go-to t-shirt indefinitely." —dr. keith
Get it from Amazon for $12.74+ (available in men's sizes S-4XL, including Tall sizes, and 24 colors).

Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in sizes M-3X and in three colors).
Promising review: "Let me first start out by saying I'm a mom of two, in my mid-thirties. Pants and I disagree on far too many levels (AKA, once I found leggings after having children, it's been impossible to go back). Pair that with working from home (ahem, never having motivation to wear actual pants even if I wanted to) and you have a full blown 'this woman is going to spend the rest of her life in yoga pants' situation. Enter these jeggings. I am not even apologizing for using the silly term of 'jeggings'. These could nearly pass for a legging-feel situation. ON TOP OF THAT, they look like real jeans. DONE. TAKE MY MONEY." —Sara W.
*Another* promising review: "I ordered these in a size 6 and found them to be a bit snug to pull over my hips (maybe because they are pull on style), but once they are on that fit great! I had to order these in two colors after they got so many recommendations from other moms in their thirties like me." —JEB

I bought this dress as a birthday present to myself (mood) and I love, love, love it. (That is me in the white version of the dress above, making my little sister take my picture, as one does.) It's so flowy and comfortable and the embroidery on it is vibrant and great quality. My favorite thing about it, though, is it pairs beautifully with pretty much every pair of boots I own, from Chelsea boots to cowboy boots (of which I have ... perhaps too many). And the rich colors in the embroidery make it SUPER easy to accessorize or pair a jacket with.
Promising review: "I give 9/10. It is so much cuter in person than I expected. I sized up because I wanted to be sure it would be long enough to be work appropriate and not be snug on me. Would be cute belted also I think. Can be layered and worn with boots in the fall. Very nice transitional piece. Not quite free people quality but pretty close!" —Meaghan
Get it from Amazon for $14.80+ (available in sizes S-2X and six styles).

Promising review: "Best sweatpants ever. I can't explain how genuinely happy I am that these pants fit. I have trouble finding pants that fit AND are comfortable AND look good and I just found all three. These pants are very comfortable and soft but not see through even if you stretch it. The material seems thin enough to let you breathe but thick and durable enough to last one to three-plus years. (Hard to tell based on one wear, will update as time goes by.) Ordered a 3x and it fits perfectly. I also usually hate wide waistbands especially on my belly but this one is very soft and just mostly feels like extra layers of fabric, but is still pretty secure on your waist. Will definitely buy multiple pairs. :)" —Stacey

b>Promising review: "Great hoodie and great price! Perfect for our current stay-home times. Fits true to men’s sizing. I’m 5'2" female, normally wearing women’s S/M tops and M/L bottoms, this fits just as I wanted. Loose, covers my bottom, just shy of fingertip length. Nice and soft too." —bb24
Get it from Amazon for $16.54 (available in men's sizes S-5XL and 25 colors).
Promising review: "Can I just say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this dress??? I feel so pretty yet so comfortable!!! So casual yet so presentable! I wore this dress for the first time during my grueling 17-hour journey from Texas to Medellin, Colombia (I had an eight-hour overnight layover in Bogata). It was comfortable, kept me warm as I sat on the floor during my layover and THE POCKETS WERE INVALUABLE for holding my passport, boarding pass, phone and snacks while traveling. Who knew that pockets on a dress could bring such FREEDOM!!!???!!! 🤣This will definitely be my go-to travel outfit. I can't recommend it enough." —Rayven Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in 23 colors and sizes 14-26).
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 alternate to the leather jacket look." —Maya Shaw
Get it from Amazon for $28.16+ (available in sizes S-XXL and 26 colors).
