1. A wide-leg pants and matching blouse set that's a ~dream~ because you can wear what feels like PJs outside *and* still look cute as heck!! This casual fit will become a staple because you'll feel trendy while also staying cool and comfy.
Promising review: "I had a work trip in New Orleans and was looking for something cute, business casual, and cool enough to survive pregnancy while traversing through the swamp. I was slightly concerned about quality, but for the price, I was fine with risking it. YALL. It is sooo much better than I could’ve even imagined. It’s precious. The white is a little sheer, but not so bad that you need an undershirt. I did wear nude shapewear, but I always do. Super light fabric, plenty of stretch, and super flowy. I sized up to accommodate my 23-week baby belly and it was perfect. I got more compliments on this outfit than I’ve gotten on any in the past few years. If you're nervous about it, just get it. If you hate it, you can return it, but I PROMISE you won’t." —Brooke
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes XS–4XL Plus and 21 colors/patterns).
2. A pleated polka-dot midi skirt with an elastic waistband and *pockets* so your hands can be free to hold up your skirt while you twirl around under the sun.

4. A tie-back bandana top for an effortlessly stylish summer look. Unlike just throwing on a regular bandana, this has adjustable straps so you can feel a little extra ~supported.~
Promising review: "Ordered these for my best friend and me and they fit perfectly!! We had a festival to go to and it was 85 outside and this shirt was the perfect material for staying cool!! 10/10 recommend, will definitely be ordering this in a few more patterns." —Maria Monteith
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in sizes S–L and in 13 colors/patterns).
5. A pair of tapered drawstring pants because let's be honest, someone will have to pry your joggers out of your cold hands, so as least these ones will keep you cooler than a regular fleece pair.

7. A pair of lightweight slitted trousers that'll add a little extra ~breeze~ to your legs while still keeping them covered.
Promising review: "If you are on the fence with buying these pants...just do it! You won't regret it. They are SO comfortable, and the slits on the sides make them breathable to be able to wear in the summer. I bought the white, and they are NOT see-through. Wearing flat sandals and the pants a little past my belly button; they fell right at my ankle. You can dress them up or down." —lnarthur
Get it from Amazon for $34.98 (available in sizes S–4XL and in 18 colors/patterns).
8. A classic oversized button-down you can toss on top of any outfit to effortlessly elevate your look. And it'll help keep you warm when the sun does finally set and it no longer feels like you're inside an oven.
9. A tank dress (with POCKETS!!) with a stretchy and comfy fit so you don't feel constricted. It's loose enough to flow in the wind but still maintain its shape.
Promising review: "This dress is so simple and versatile...I bought four! I wear it around the house almost like a house dress or lounging wear, around town, over a bathing suit, and even to bed. It is really comfortable. I ordered a medium. A medium fits looser and natural, how I like, but I could probably fit into a small if I wanted a snugger fit, which might remedy the looser bust. I love it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $25.98+ (available in sizes XS–4XL and a variety of colors/patterns).
10. A pair of high-waisted trousers with wide legs so you don't have to deal with the dreaded feeling of trying to pull tight pants up over your vaguely sweaty legs.
FYI — some people say this item runs small, so if you're deciding between two sizes consider going up!
Promising reviews: "I ordered the cream pants to use on a summer vacation. I was very happy to receive high-quality pants. They were comfortable, breathable, and not transparent. I am very satisfied with this purchase, and I highly recommend it." —Rose
"I ended up buying five pairs in different colors and talked a friend into one. (She loves them.) These are top quality. Tailored like fine trousers. Extremely comfortable, soft, flowing material. I can wear year-round. Fit is perfect. Washed with no problem. I pressed a little because I like a polished look. They do not wrinkle with wearing. Bonus was they are such a good price!!!" —Chris
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, regular or short lengths, and 32 colors/patterns).
11. A loose-fitting gingham baby doll dress reminiscent of everyone's favorite red-heel-wearing girly. If she can stay cool wearing it while wandering the yellow brick road, you'll be good to go for your day's adventures.
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 pleasantly 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 will be wearing this dress all summer and then some!" —Theresa St Peter
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and seven colors).

Promising review: "The most comfortable pants I've ever worn. I don't even know why I would bother wearing anything else. Fits great, silky soft, lightweight, and breathable. Perfect summer pants when it's a tiny bit cool for shorts but too warm for yoga pants or jeans. Purple is just as vibrant as the pictures." —tatianna
Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in three sizes, regular and extra long, and 13 colors/patterns).
14. A vibrant '90s-esque patterned button-down top with a design that's sure to make you stand out from the crowd (and probably get you asked frequently where it's from). Don't worry, just because it's heavy on the pattern doesn't mean it'll weigh you down — it's still super breathable.
Promising review: "The shirt of the summer!!! This shirt is super breathable and soft. Love the way it feels on my skin. The colors are fun and vibrant. Love it!!! I recommend if you are not afraid of colors. I got a size XL because I was looking to get the oversized fit. My regular size is L. This shirt is great for casual occasions and street fashion.

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes 0X–4X and 17 colors).
16. A stretchy palazzo/yoga pant hybrid because name something better than yoga pants or wide leg pants? Oh you can't, because there isn't anything…until these…a COMBINATION of the two best kinds of pants!! Dress 'em up or down, no matter how you wear them, you'll be cool and comfy.
Promising review: "As a plus-size woman, finding clothes that fit is a challenge and a half. Finding ones that fit and are both comfortable and look good is next to impossible. Like finding a unicorn. These are a unicorn! They are the single most comfortable pair of pants I've ever worn and fully intend to order more in other colors over the coming weeks and months. They fit perfectly, cling without being stifling, just enough to be comfortable. I cannot recommend these strongly enough. The material is so soft and breathable. They aren't warm, I'll give you that, so definitely wear them when it's seasonally appropriate, but so comfortable I'll freeze happily." —Danika Brennen
Get it from Amazon for $19.75 (available in sizes XS–5XL and 31 colors/patterns).
17. A flowy mini dress with an adorable open tie-back that is bound to become a summer staple. Not only is this wicked cute, but it's extremely breathable to keep you cool even on those record breaking hot days.

18. A pair of wide-leg pants because linen is IN and there's honestly nothing better than a trendy pair of pants that are also comfortable. Plus you can style these in sooo many different ways people won't even notice that you've worn them every single weekend since you bought them.
These are available for Prime Try Before You Buy!
Promising review: "I got three pairs of these for a family trip to Hawaii. I wanted something breathable, more so than my cotton knit pants, but that would be OK walking around in. These are fantastic. The fit is loose, and I did order a size up since linen does not stretch. The drawstring kept them plenty tight around my waist, but the legs were baggy and breezy, which is exactly what I wanted. The inseam is a bit short. On the bright side, it does mean that when I wore sandals, the pants were not hitting the ground. They were perfect for the beach, colors were spot on, and they also looked perfect for walking around farmers markets. Quality is great. No, they are not see-through, but I also didn't get white." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $34.70 (available in sizes XS–6X and 13 colors/patterns).

Promising review: "Love the skirt and how lightweight it is! Everything is exactly how I thought it would be. I’m wearing a 4X Plus and it’s almost exactly snug around my waist, and it’s not uncomfortable to sit or move around at all. It doesn’t have any stretch to it at all though, so just keep that in mind. I will definitely be buying it in another color though!" —Christina M.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–4X Plus and 22 colors/patterns).
21. A pair of lantern trousers to give you the breathability of wide-leg pants, but the structure of a cinched waist and tapered ankle so you don't look like you just accidentally grabbed the completely wrong size when you bought them.

Bonus! This is available for Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give them a test run if you aren't quite ready to commit.

Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "This top is soooo cute! The top where the shoulders are is elastic so they're stretchy and will stay wherever you place them. The wrap tie is super great as well. It's a lightweight material but it's not see-through at all. I wore with a strapless bra but you can easily do without a bra." —Lizette A.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 36 colors).

Promising review: "I'm six months pregnant and just wanted something comfy to wear that wasn’t binding or tight. I took the advice from reviewers and got one size bigger and it’s perfect. The material is breathable, there’s space in all the right places. I need to get a couple more since I’ll be living in this until I deliver and even through the summer." —Teresa Serrano
Get it from Amazon for $31.85 (available in sizes S–4X and 39 colors/patterns)

Promising review: "Love this dress! So comfortable to wear. Can be worn with or without a bra. LOVE the adjustable straps, and the v-neck. Can be worn to any casual social event. Even a party/outdoor casual wedding... Best purchase. Most dresses from Amazon are too big. This is the perfect fit, especially if you prefer knee length over floor length dresses. Can be worn with flip flops, sandals, or casual strappy heels." —Carrie
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL, two styles, and 45 colors/patterns).
