1. A strapless sweetheart top you can count on to help you create a flawless summer date night *~lewk~* without having to worry about sweat pooling under your arms (yum).
Check out a TikTok of the sweetheart tank in action.
Promising review: "True to size and perfect length. The color is the pure white I wanted and looks great with denim. The knit is soft and comfortable and still thick and stretchy, so it’s not see-through. Length works great with my low rise jeans or can be tucked in for higher rises." —Cina
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 23 colors).
2. A scoop-neck romper for anyone who detests going out when it's hot and wants to pretend they're rebelling against Mother Nature by staying in pajamas all day. Except these aren't PJs — they're just comfy!
Promising review: "Great romper! The material is so soft and airy, but not see-through. It fits perfectly and washes well (I hung it up to dry). It is loose on the top, so a cami or sport bra might look better underneath as it may show, and it is a good length on the bottom so that it doesn’t look like booty shorts. I am purchasing another in a different color because it will become a staple of my wardrobe!" —Army Wife
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 17 colors).
3. High-waisted paper bag shorts you'll love just as much as the bagged lunch you oh-so-carefully crafted for your kids this morning — we're talking PB&J cut into hearts and strawberries transformed into flowers. What I'm trying to say here is that these shorts are fantastic, OK?
Promising review: "These shorts are SO COMFY! I thought the reviews might have been exaggerating, but they were not! Soft, stretchy, flowy, a belt that ties, they are everything a plus-size body needs! I am larger on the bottom, so I was nervous about purchasing these! I realize now that I could have gone with a smaller size, but they are so comfy in this size, I love them!" —Michele Chandler
Get them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes 16–24 and eight colors).
4. A stunning floral puff-sleeve dress guaranteed to make you feel like Lena from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (you know, Alexis Bledel's character) when she arrived in Greece for a summer of magic.
Promising review: "This dress is super cute! So many people complimented me on it and it was super comfy. I love that I can dress it up with heels or wear it with sneakers. Highly recommend!" —Hannah Kline
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 20 colors).
5. An incredibly soft and stretchy backless bodysuit you won't be able to resist struttin' your stuff in — not to mention there won't be an ounce of back sweat on ya since it'll be directly exposed to fresh air.
Promising review: "After reading reviews, I decided to order a size up. I ordered a XL and it fits perfect. It's nice and tight, but not so tight that the straps dig into my skin. Also, I like the built-in thong. It's so sexy and makes me feel sexy. I love it." —Andrea
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and six styles).
6. A loose-fitting maxi dress so versatile, you'll easily be able to rock it at brunch or at the beach regardless of how hot the weather forecast is lookin'.
Promising review: "Love this dress. I have a few different colors. They can be worn casually, or dressed up with accessories. The material is soft and silky. Washes nice, I wash mine in the machine on cold and hang to dry, they still look new after several washes. This dress is definitely made for taller women, I'm 5'8" and I tie the front in a knot, the back still slightly touches the ground...but I like it that way." —Michelle Castillo
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 42 styles).
7. A longline sports bra that'll double as a crop top so you can wear it to the gym and while galavanting around in the summer heat.
Promising review: "Really love this bra/tank! I’d say it gives medium-light support. The material is so comfortable and airy! I would definitely buy this item again!" —LoveHeatlh_Beauty
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS—3X and in 25 colors).
8. Or a similar cropped high-neck tank top to become your go-to for all of your summer activities — good thing it comes in a ton of colors so you can stock up! It's made of a super soft material you won't be able to get enough of.
I wore this in Deep Blue to see Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, and anyone who is *in the know* will understand just how much thought goes into choosing an outfit for that occasion. I originally was going to go channel "Lavender Haze" with my sister in this top (pictured, left) that is very similar but a little more low cut (my sister wore it instead!). I ended up going with a Midnights x Folklore vibe (IYKYK) and this shirt was exactly what I needed to pair with my cardigan. The material felt almost bathing suit–like and was super stretchy (excellent for anyone who, like myself, is rather busty). I liked that I was able to wear a bralette with it and that it wasn't see through at all. Can totally see ordering this in other colors for the summer!
Promising review: 'You know that TikTok sound that goes 'If I like it, I'll just grab it in another color. If I like it, and they have another color, I'll just grab it' and so on? That was written about this top. It's so comfortable and I can confidently wear it sans-bra (I'm a 34F for reference so that is a BIG deal for me - it never happens!). Consider every other color grabbed!" —Meghan J
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and 23 colors).
9. A printed midi skirt and tank set you'll adore for 1. its fabulous pattern and 2. the fact you won't have to wonder "does this match?"
This is my colleague Kayla Boyd wearing this set! Here's what she has to say about it: "I love a matching set because it takes most of the work out of putting an outfit together. And this one is such a great deal! I love how comfy and easy it is to wear. I was concerned about it being see-through, but it wasn't! It has a stretchy waist and a cute tie detail in the front of the skirt. For spring days, I just throw a denim jacket over it. And, of course, I plan to wear it all summer as well. I would 100% buy more colors in this — and there are so many to choose from!"
Promising review: "I loved it. The material is light and airy. Very sexy." —Tiffany Gibbs
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes XL–5XL and 36 colors/prints).

10. A mini wrap dress featuring boho vibes you can keep on deck when it's suuuuper warm and you unfortunately have somewhere to be that requires you to wear more than just a tank and shorts.
Amazon customers have noted this dress runs small, so go up a size before purchasing!
Promising review: "Love the colors in this dress! It’s super cute and easy to dress up or down. Is a true wrap dress, a good length, not see through, and not too low cut! Lightweight and perfect for summer!" —Olivia Noles

Get it from Lisa Says Gah for $178 (available in sizes XS–3XL and two colors).
12. A lightweight button-down tank that'll quickly become besties with your favorite pair of jeans the moment you introduce the to each other. A match made in heaven, TBH.
Promising review: "This is a very airy and comfortable shirt. It does not have much stretch across the chest area. It tends to pull at the buttons, but other than that, it is a great shirt to either dress up or down. I’ve worn it with shorts, jeans, and dress pants and with a cardigan." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $15.25+ (available in sizes S–5XL and 23 colors).
13. A gingham skort and crop tank top for anyone with major summer picnic plans. We 👏 Love 👏 A 👏 Theme 👏
Promising review: "I love this skort! What impressed me the most was the fabric was just soft and elastic enough to have the right stretch to sit really comfortably for all day wear. The fabric is thick enough as well and the light blue check pattern is nice and bright. Overall really cute and comfy!" —TiredGhost
Get them from Madewell: skort for $44.99 (available in sizes 2XS–2XL and 1X–2X), crop tank top for $34.99 (available in sizes 2XS–2XL).

Promising reviews: "This is hands-down my favorite bodysuit and the easiest thing to grab when I’m trying to look put together especially in the office. The padding in the front makes it so there are no bra lines to worry about and the material hugs your body in a really nice way! 10 out of 10. 🖤 " —Gabrielle C.
Get it from Klassy Network for $48 (available in sizes 2XS–3XL and in three colors).
17. A bodycon dress featuring a magical drawstring that'll let you adjust the length as needed — it's super breathable and you can layer a denim jacket or cute cardi over it when the season starts to change.
Promising reviews: "I finally bought this dress after seeing it all over TikTok and HOLY SMOKES. I cannot believe how universally [good it looks on people]. It's absolutely stunning!" —Catherine Thriveni
"This dress is amazing! The fabric is so soft and silky but also has structure and because the sides are ruched, I can adjust it to the perfect length, which means a lot when you're only 5'1". The ruching allows me to control the amount of fabric gathered in the tummy and behind areas. To sum it all up, I LOVE the dress and plan on purchasing at least two more in the army green and the brown because this style dress can also be worn in the fall and spring months with a basic or colored denim jacket and a cute pair of boots or booties!" —Tonya
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 27 colors/styles).

Get it from our Goodful shop for $85 (available in sizes S–XL).
19. A wrap dress that'll have you looking so ~chill~ no one will think twice about the fact you scored this dress on Amazon for less than $60 when they catch a glimpse of you struttin' your stuff.
Promising review: "I don't normally write reviews for clothes off of Amazon, but good lordy I am so in love with this dress, I just HAVE to!! I am IN LOVE and am wishing it was warmer weather so I could wear it out and about! First, it is a true wrap dress in that you feed one side through the other, therefore you can adjust how tight or loose it is. Modest? Show some cleavage? Up to you! 😍 Second, it is the PERFECT length for me. Lastly, normally a short ruffle sleeve doesn't fall right on me and makes me look like a football player... these fall immaculately fluttery on me. All in all, I freaking love this dress! And was not prompted in any way to provide a review but felt so compelled when I tried it on! If you are on the fence like I have been for over a year, GET IT!!" —Jess
Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in sizes S–2XL and 18 styles).

20. A gingham puff-sleeve dress made of a suuuuper light material so you'll have no issue wearing it throughout spring and summer — and who doesn't love a dress that works for multiple seasons???
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly couldn't help but rave about this dress:
"I brought this dress along on vacation and it even passed The Vatican dress code! I knew I had to have it after my colleague Emma Lord bought and reviewed it (#4 here). This super lightweight nap dress is unlined, but NOT see-through...even in daylight. It was so comfy for gallivanting around and long enough for me to sit on a random step on a bridge to take a rest and give my old dogs a rest. It made for a dramatic, but not TOO dramatic, look in photos I'll cherish forever. And it kept me cool in what turned out to be some hotter weather than what I anticipated. If you're looking for a way to wear something nightgown-adjacent in public but still look quite put-together, this dress is for you."
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes S–XL and four colors).
21. A cutout dress with a slit that'll show off all your ~curves and all your edges~ and help you snag that hot waiter you've had your eye on all summer (or at the very least, hopefully earn you some free appetizers).
22. An off-the-shoulder dress with a stunning scalloped hem you'll want the whole world to see. (Good thing we have Instagram — snap one pic and they can!)
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 $32.99+ (available in women's sizes 0X–4X and 22 styles).
23. A beach cover-up that'll also work as a regular ol' dress in the heat — we love an item that can do double duty!

Get it from Amazon for $37.59 (available in sizes S–XXL and 23 colors and patterns).

Dress Me Linen is a small business based in Latvia that specializes in all sorts of cute and stylish linen clothing.
Promising review: "Super nice linen dress, perfect for summer. I bought several pieces and they are all great. Great quality, very well made. I waited almost four weeks for the delivery, but when you consider that production only takes place after the order has been received and individual requests are catered for, it's absolutely fine. It will definitely not be my last order, I'm looking forward to many more great and high-quality items of clothing. Thank you very much. 😊" —Jana
Get it from Dress Me Linen on Etsy for $149.60 (available in sizes XS–2XL and 50 colors).
25. High-waisted bike shorts from Aerie's Offline collection, aka my holy grail absolute favorite pair of bike shorts. They're stretchy, soft, and perfect for both working out or hanging out. I simply adore them.
I absolutely love these bike sorts (as I do all things from Aerie, TBH) and wear them constantly. The material is so breathable and lightweight... I can't imagine wearing anything else during the hot summer months. They also look very cute when paired with an oversized tee on not-as-hot-days. Princess Diana chic!
Promising review: "Before these shorts you’d never catch me in biker shorts. These 4” offline goals bike shorts are a MUST!! As a girl with thicker legs. They roll a little but don’t DIG. And that’s a big one for me. Super comfy, and waaayyy cute!" —Erica
Get them from Aerie for $20.96 (available in sizes 2XS–2XL).

Psst: This item is included in Prime Wardrobe, so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!

I just wear these as tops I don’t wear these to workout. I’m happy with my purchase and I’ll be ordering more. They are all the hype! Hope this review helped!" —Customer

Promising review: "These shorts are so light and airy! They are so comfortable. The only downside is that they do run small, I would size up by one size. I wore them to the beach and they were perfect for hanging out when I didn’t plan on getting in the water!" —Reese Elder
