1. A versatile split wrap skirt so you can get that flowy Disney princess skirt feeling with a modern twist. (Also it's HOT out there, your legs deserve to BREATHE!!)
Promising review: "Perfect transition piece. Honestly, impressed. It does not have a lining, but it also was not too sheer to the point you can't wear it. I got MANY compliments on this — and you just can't beat the price for a statement piece. Fit was true to size and if anything had room for adjustment. The waistband also has two buttons so you can wear it looser/tighter! It is a wrap, but it's not revealing at all!" —lexi milone
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 14 colors).
2. A pair of paperbag-waist shorts so comfy and chic that all the other shorts in your closet will be immediately humbled.
Promising review: "They fit perfectly and are made very well with high-quality materials. The length is perfect and they look so cute on. These are my favorite shorts to wear this summer. Also they are incredibly comfortable and cool — I wore them in Florida when I went to Disney and they were not hot at all and they were the perfect thing to wear getting on and off rides. I cannot say enough how much I love these shorts I even bought another pair in blue because I loved them so much. Totally worth every penny — definitely go ahead and buy; you will not regret it." —Meagan Marie
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 28 colors).

Promising review: "Wow! I’m beyond happy that I got the value package of these accessories. Well made, lightweight, and something for every outfit of the day. They are super cute, trendy, and worth every penny! I will be ordering more for sure! I buy so many things on Amazon and I hardly leave comments but for these, I had to!" —Amanda De
Get a set of nine from Amazon for $18.99.
4. A pair of breezy bib overalls so you can't be legally held responsible for running around singing ABBA songs in public, because WWDD?? (What Would Donna Do?????)
Promising review: "I love these overall/bibs! They have a chord to nip in at the waist and the legs taper but they also blouse out accentuating my figure. They are very comfortable as well and the fabric is high quality with quality stitching. For the price they can’t be beat. I’ll definitely look at buying from Yesno again!" —TCB & JLUX
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 15 styles).
5. A suuuper soft flowy tank top primed for the MVP spot of your wardrobe's summer — reviewers are obsessed with how easy it is to dress up and down and how comfortable it feels on their skin.
Promising review: "I love these tops so much that I've twice ordered more of them. They look great, yet are more comfortable than a T-shirt. Very low maintenance — I run them through washer and dryer on gentle cycle. No need to iron, they can be folded or hung. They travel flawlessly — can be be rolled in a tube shape and shoved into a carry-on or backpack. I'm a size 10–12 and bought large, which fits loosely, but isn't baggy." —Bibliophile
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and 37 styles).
6. A breezy, summer-friendly chiffon cardigan you'll be especially grateful for on days when you're playing a game of chicken with your weather app. This comes in *dozens* of patterns, so you're bound to find one that matches your vibe.
Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with this kimono. It is my absolute fave! I felt very beautiful while wearing it. It’s lightweight and adds the perfect touch of fancy when added to any outfit! I used it to dress up a few outfits and also as a swimsuit coverup. You can dress up or down with it! It’s my new go to beach outfit!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.87+ (available in sizes S–5XL and 40 colors).
7. A CurlCap, which is a satin-lined backless adjustable cap designed with natural hair and updos in mind, so you never have to worry about your hair snagging or getting damaged when you're shielding your face from the sun.
CurlCap is a Black-owned apparel company founded by Britney Sade that specializes in caps designed for natural hair with an open back and flexible scrunchie design.
Promising review: "This hat is comfortable, well made, and cute! It is now my go-to hat for casual days when I put my hair in a ponytail. I have also worn it playing tennis and found that it's more comfortable than wearing a visor. The back elastic really keeps the hat secure without feeling too tight. I have the black twill, and would love to see it in other colors in this fabric for walking, running, and tennis. Love." —Me
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in 11 styles).
8. A pair of reviewer-beloved distressed mid-rise denim shorts you can get in a bunch of unique styles depending on the summer vibe. Reviewers especially love that they're comfy, have good stretch, and don't ride up (as much as we all love to treat everyone to a show picking massive wedgies all summer long).
Promising review: "Super comfortable. I love these shorts! I am not concerned about showing too much thigh or way too little. They don't ride up when wearing them. I love love these." —Anna Thomas
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 38 styles).
9. A two-piece crop top and wide-leg pant set that reviewers *especially* love for warm-weather traveling, since the look is so versatile and the fabric of the set is so lightweight and thin that it's easy to pack.
Promising review: "I am so obsessed with this set! I own it in orange (gorgeous shade!) and loved it so much that I ordered the teal — the teal is darker than depicted and is more of an emerald color so I’ll likely be exchanging for a different color. The material doesn’t have much stretch and feels similar to linen; it’s super lightweight and perfect for summer — the side slits on the pants allow for great airflow and make this outfit heat- and humidity-approved. I wore it in Charleston during a heatwave and didn’t sweat to death, so you can take my word for it." —Alexa Healy
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 11 colors).
10. A deliciously breezy high-waisted maxi skirt reviewers love for throwing on with bathing suits, bodysuits, crop tops, and chic belts.
11. A floral-print puff-sleeve dress you can wear on *or* off the shoulder, making it so versatile that OOPS, you may just need one for every single day of the week. TBH, it's this Nap Dress dupe's world and we're all just vibing in it.
Promising review: "So happy with my purchase! I received many compliments when wearing this dress and it makes sense, because it’s lovely! It’s super comfortable, too. It’s beautiful to wear out but also comfortable enough to wear around the house. It’s just as beautiful on the shoulder, though I prefer it off, but the great thing is that it stays put whichever way you should choose to wear it. I highly recommend it!" —Melanie Grace

12. A pair of wide-leg palazzo pants that keep it breezy and light but also subtly tell the world, "Yes, I might be taking a call from the real estate agent finalizing the sale of the winery I've purchased in Italy later this afternoon."
Promising review: "I'm obsessed with these pants. I originally bought the brown color, and the fit and length was so great that I bought one in black and lilac. I love how it's high waist but the back is elastic. I'm petite in height and most trousers drag but these fit just right with my boots or heels." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X including "short" sizes and in 33 styles).
13. A pair of popular cushioned "recovery" sandals perfect for anyone who is craving all the cute summer fashion with a side of ridiculous comfort (and pain relief!). Not only are these super cute, but reviewers with pain from plantar fasciitis, bunions, spondylilothesis, and other chronic conditions absolutely swear by them, with a ton saying they're like walking on ~clouds~.
Promising review: "I have ordered several pairs trying to find the one that lives up to its hype, well this one is it. Super cushy, fits true to size — I ordered the mauvish pink colored one and love it. I will be ordering a black pair. I have a heel spur and planters fasciitis so regular flip flops bother me after wearing several hours, these do not. Very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend." —leah
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 21 colors).
14. A backless retro-inspired one-piece swimsuit that'll make you feel like you fell out of a very chic time machine.
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 $21.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 16 varieties).
15. Or a peplum tankini set who loves cheap thrills *and* frills, because for a suit this cute at a price like this, you're definitely getting both.
16. Plus a floral retro-inspired bikini with such a nostalgic vibe you might find yourself adding a waterproof red lipstick or cat-eye sunglasses to your cart to complete the ~look~.
Promising review: "I bought a 4XL (US 16) — I wear about a 16 normally. I have always searched for TRUE high-waisted swim bottoms, to only find that it just comes to the top of my belly button. (That is mid-waist to me.) Anywho, this comes well past my belly button and it is AMAZING! The top is a little less supportive than I would like, but definitely not a dealbreaker, and still comfortable. Material is nice and provides nice coverage on my behind. I will buy another one, for sure!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL, in 21 prints, and in black and red).
17. A colorful midi dress that basically will make you look like you're being hugged by the world's cutest rainbow.

19. A pair of compressive printed bike shorts that stay the heck put during errand runs and workouts, even when you're dodging compliments from other people in the park right and left.
Promising review: "These are amazinggggg! So buttery soft and comfortable. A lot of shorts ride up and move around while working out, but these did not. So soft and comfy. I want to get more for workouts and just hanging out. I LOVE these. They look just like the picture and fit perfectly." —Jennifer
Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 13 colors and patterns).
20. A 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!
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 sizes XS–XL and 15 colors).

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–L and 15 colors).

23. A pair of fluttery exercise shorts to keep you breezy and chill when the sun decides to *aggressively* comes out to play.

Get it from Amazon for $24.98 (available in sizes S–XXL and 28 colors).
24. A pair of colorful strappy vegan sandals that aren't *not* Tevas knockoffs 👀. These playful kicks are designed for all-day comfort with arch support and fully adjustable tabs, plus are so durable that they're totally fine to kick around in the water.
Promising review: "These are great sandals! I'm always on the lookout for cute summer sandals. I wear them year-round in the Arizona desert. The quality is excellent, the soles and straps are comfortable. I'm able to wear them for long periods of time." —Barbie J.

26. A brightly patterned crop top and skirt set so cute that it basically demands its own curated playlist for walking around town in it. (IDK about you but all of Harry's House is going on there for me.)
Promising review: "I am EMOTIONAL about how great this is. I'm a bodacious and curvaceous young lady and finding anything that looks good online is a constant struggle. But I want to wear this every day. If I were in a cartoon, I would want this to be the outfit that I have a closet full of. I have G-cup boobs and tube tops are my own personal hell. BUT, somehow, this sat just right. I wore a strapless bra under it and I'm just so excited to wear this out. Did I mention the skirt is perfect? It’s kinda long, but I wore it with some platform-y wedges (I’m 5-foot-6) and it made it look even cuter! Who gave me permission?! Just get it, okay? That’s the point here." —Sara

Promising review: "There are so many beautiful items available in this shop, it was hard for me to narrow down a selection because I wanted it all!

28. A pair of internet-famous retro driving sunglasses for anyone who's physically here in 2022 but emotionally about to pack their friends into a getaway car straight into the '90s.
If these seem familiar, it's cuz every TikTok influencer and their uncle seems to own a pair now — reviewers love them not just for the aesthetic, but because they're nice and sturdy and don't even snag in their hair! These also have UV400 protection, so they'll keep your eyeballs safe from the summer sun.
Promising review: "Okay I bought this set for a fashion statement but they are so well made I wear them every day! The packaging was very nice, I love having both color options — an amazing price for the value of sunglasses.

29. An off-the-shoulder dress with a gorgeously detailed scalloped hem for a modern-meets-vintage look you can dress up or down all spring long.
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 $25.99+ (available in sizes 0X–4X and 16 styles).
30. A Happiness Runs crop top from FP Movement that I am frankly *obsessed* with and own in five colors. It's super comfy and just the right amount of compressive for casual wear — a lot of reviewers swear by it for yoga, pilates, and errand running.
That's me in the red version committing to my favorite hobby, "Make my little sister take my picture like she's my Instagram husband." I love this top because it's versatile with all my high-waisted leggings and shorts, but also because the compression is close to a bra without actually feeling like one, so it supports without constricting. The fabric's ridiculously soft, too.
Get it from Free People for $30 (available sizes XS–XL and in dozens of colors).
31. A custom linen puff sleeve top you can get tailored to your precise measurements, so when people love it so much they're all, "Wow, it looks like it was MADE for you!!" You can be like, "Well, it *was*." 😊

Mondo Bellissimo is a Vietnam-based Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in custom-made linen clothing and accessories.

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).
33. A sleeveless halter bodysuit made with such soft, stretchy, durable material that reviewers say is 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).
34. 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.
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).
35. 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.
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).
36. A Cooldri performance tank with UPF 50+ protection designed with a lightweight fabric that both wicks away sweat and dries rapidly, making it ideal for warm weather adventures.
Promising review: "Perfect for layering or a summer top. I’ve ordered a total of seven shirts in various colors. Numerous in black because I often layer them under another shirt. I love the silky material because they don’t bunch up." —Darlene
Get it from Amazon for $6.50+ (available in sizes 16–5X and eight colors).
37. A twist-front crop top to flawlessly pair with all your high-waisted shorts and leggings, since they come in so many excellent colors that you're bound to find the perfect ~aesthetic~ for the 'fit.
Promising review: "I love this shirt. I've been taking fitness more seriously the last few months and finally got around to replacing all of my old activewear. It's just loose enough that I don't have to adjust it while I'm working out and also provides nice cleavage coverage. It's extremely soft and has good-sized arm holes. The navy color is deep and beautiful." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.98 (available in sizes XS–XL and 17 colors).
