    28 Spring-Friendly Wardrobe Items For Anyone Who Wears Black 24/7

    "I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color." — Wednesday Addams....and also you.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

    1. A cropped tank top-style sports bra designed with flexible fabric to let you move freely throughout your workout or while running errands.…I'm not saying this is just as good as the *cough* more expensive *cough* versions, but I'm also not not saying that, but this reviewer definitely is.

    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.

    Promising review: "Super amazed at how much I love this freaking top. First of all, it looks great and really holds those puppies down if you know what I mean. Then it's also super comfortable. It feels way better than wearing a separate sports bra and top but works just as good or even better than some of my sports bras. It doesn't dig in and cut off circulation like most of the sports bras I own and to test this theory I slept in this top and wore it a total of 17 hours, then took pictures of where there would typically be lines in the skin and there was practically nothing there. I worked out in the top for 45 minutes and never had to readjust it once. I've already ordered another one and told all my workout buddies about it." —Corbin Gadd

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 20 colors).

    2. A pair of casual cotton linen overalls with a comfy loose fit so you can pair it with long sleeve for those cooler days or a a short sleeve for warmer days without having to worry about that uncomfortable feeling of trying to pull tight pants over your partially sweaty legs 😖.

    Promising review: "I just wanted these for kicking around in the garden and they have worked great for that...so I own three pairs now. They're lightweight and good for warmer days." —C. Zittel

    Get them from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 21 colors).

    3. A pair of high-waisted biker shorts that are the perfect combination of the comfort of leggings with the ~airiness~ of shorts. Just throw these on with any top and you'll have yourself a 'lil trendy outfit.

    Promising review: "I love these. I love to wear them hiking and around the house but also under skirts. The pockets are what set these apart!" —ShellBell8

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL, three lengths, and 26 colors).

    4. Or a pair with mesh panels on the side for even more breathability on those super hot days where wearing even seven inches of fabric on your legs feels like too much. 

    Promising review: "Absolutely love these pockets. Been going hiking and for long walks with them. You can fit a whole water bottle in these pockets and my iPhone11 max fits in there with room. The material is great, not at all see through." —Allie Connor

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 12 colors).

    5. An everyday T-shirt bodysuit with a BUILT-IN padded bra so you can honestly just throw away every regular bra you own. No more worrying if you have any clean bras or if the straps will show in the back, this has got you covered 💯.

    Klassy Network

    Klassy Network is a woman-owned small business that sells stylish blouses, swimwear, eyewear, and their well-known Brami top, aka a top that provides amazing support and doesn't require a bra underneath!

    Promising review: "These body suits are classic. I purchased in black and white and I love them. They pair great with trousers or for work with a blazer. Can’t wait to wear these even more!" —Kathryn M.

    Get it from Klassy Network for $45 (available in sizes XXS–3XL and three colors).

    6. An A-line pleated skirt perfect for frolicking and twirling through the beautiful, fresh flower gardens.

    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.

    Promising review: "The skirt is as beautiful as I imagined it would be; it's exactly as pictured. It's very comfortable, and due to the elastic waistband, very forgiving as far as fit. It's perfect for work or a casual day out." —Elayne

    Get it from Amazon for $27.19+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 33 colors).

    7. An extremely popular jumpsuit with a cinched waistline to make you look super put together even though this outfit required zero thought and no time wasted trying to find a shirt to match your pants. Reviewers love throwing this on for running errands or even for a brunch date.

    Reviewer wearing black off-the-shoulder jumpsuit

    Promising review: "Made very well. Nice breathable fabric that isn’t too thick/heavy but also isn’t cheap or too thin. It’s very soft, lightweight, flows nicely. Nice quality. I’m always extremely skeptical about elastic waists because they can kill a look; I was ECSTATIC to find that this isn’t your average elastic waist. It gathers just enough to give definition between torso and hips and isn’t even close to being too tight or snug around the waist....heavenly turnout. Seriously, I was so excited. The off-shoulder neckline is sexy and feminine, and living in Arizona, between having a shoulder exposed and putting my hair up, it makes me feel 50% cooler in the hot temps. Love it." —Holly

    Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 36 colors).

    8. A pair of jeggings for those days you need to at least look like you're wearing "real" clothes and not just another pair of leggings, even though you'll secretly know these are just as comfy and not torturous like shoving your legs through stiff denim.

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

    Promising review: "These are great jeggings! They are so comfortable, just the right amount of stretch and do not lose their shape. They wash up well without shrinking. Jeans or any pants for that matter, are tough for me to buy. I have a big caboose and athletic but not thick thighs. Usually jeans are too big in the thighs if they fit my butt, not these! They hug every curve wonderfully without making me feel like a sausage and no gaping material!" —Lisa

    Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in sizes XS–6XL, four lengths, and 17 colors).

    9. Or a knee-length pair of leggings to provide you a bit more coverage than shorts, but without having to commit to full length pants that may make you a bit too ~toasty.~

    Promising review: "Living in Florida, I look for comfortable hot weather clothes. The fact that they are a cotton-based spandex makes them more breathable than others. They wash and dry well without shrinkage, and are fine for casual wear, around the house or running to the supermarket. A couple of pairs of these are summertime basics for me." —Beach Lover

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–7XL, two lengths, and 46 colors).

    10. racerback crop top that is incredibly versatile — it's perfect for brunch, a night on the town, running errands, or even in the gym. Plus it's double-lined so you can ditch your bra!

    Promising review: "I am in love with this top! It’s thick enough to not need a bra but not so thick that it’s hot and uncomfortable. Doesn’t ride up or roll around the seams and edges. You could wear it to workout, be casual, or dress it up. Definitely snagging this in every color." —Shelbie Johnson

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 23 colors). 

    11. A chic and flowy faux leather blazer to throw on top of your outfit to keep you warm *and* actually elevate your look instead of just covering it up.

    Beginning Boutique

    Get it from Beginning Boutique for $99.99 (available in sizes 0–12). 

    12. pair of Sanuk Yoga Slings that you may never want to take off your feet. They are incredibly comfortable…I mean seriously, the footbed is literally made out of yoga mats 🤯. Wearing them will be like a constant Shavasana for your feet, and I promise, they will thank you.

    Promising review: "This is by far the best sandal purchase I have ever done! They are so comfortable and no blisters because they are cloth! They keep your feet on the bottoms, no sliding off like most do! Will definitely be getting another pair!! If you are on the fence about them don’t be!" —Melinda

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 11 colors).

    13. Or, a pair of sandals quuuuuite similar to Birkenstocks, but these will cost you literally 1/2 the price. With adjustable straps, you can customize these to make them fit perfectly to your foot.

    Promising review: "I LOVE these sandals and have bought them in multiple colors. I was reluctant at first because my feet are very narrow, but a size 7 fit me exactly as my other size 7 shoes do. The buckles are also adjustable for those with narrow or wide feet. They are super comfortable and provide a good amount of arch support. I used to get hip pain from walking in flip flops, but I haven't had it since I've worn these. I really love the variety of colors and how they go with shorts, sundresses, or even jeans. I wear them when I'm gardening, as house slippers, and going out. I would highly recommend these sandals, especially because of how cheap they are compared to many other shoes." —Kat Platt

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and 55 colors).

    14. peplum swimsuit combining two of your fave things — a classic one-piece bathing suit and a little black dress. With the adjustable straps you'll be able to achieve a customized fit, and the crisscross detailing just really makes this *chef's kiss.*

    Torrid

    Promising review: "This swim dress is amazing it's everything you ever wanted and need in the bathing suit. It makes me feel so sexy. I purchased it in black and the teal the color is so pretty. You will not regret this purchase, you will regret not ordering more than one for sure. Love that it reveals some boobs but not too much and the skirt sits just right. It is true to size so get ready to look sexy and classy at the beach or by the pool this summer :)" —NANCYPR

    Get it from Torrid for $71.43 (originally $109.90; available in sizes M–6X). 

    15. A glamorous cocktail dress adorned with an intricate and detailed floral lace design on the neck that Wednesday Addams would be proud to wear.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress! Purchased it for my witch costume this year but definitely will be wearing it for so many other occasions. Fit just as the size would indicate and the lace is beautiful. Very delicate and comes with a nice long zipper at the back." —Dominique

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and nine styles).

    16. A loose-fit top with floaty bell sleeves to add a little ~spice~ to your regular black shirts. The added sleeve detailing will enhance your fit, without having to worry about the thought of incorporating *gasp* color!

    Promising review: "I loved this top so much that I bought it in red. I had already purchased it in black. I love the look and fit. It's dressy enough to be worn with skirts or slacks, but also for a more casual look with jeans." —SlikLich

    Get it from Amazon for $26.95 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 19 colors).

    17. A lightweight, open-feel lacy tunic dress with extraordinary detailing on the sleeves. No one will even realize it's one of the more comfortable dresses you've ever worn.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress! I purchased it for an evening event; normally I only wear T-shirt dresses, but needed something a bit dressier. It really looked so cute on. It was incredibly comfortable, nice and loose, but the shorter length kept it from looking frumpy. It was still long enough that I didn’t have to worry about moving around, though. It hangs nicely, has a nice weight, and is surprisingly warm. Love the crocheted arms, beautiful, but not so delicate I had to worry about them. For the black dress, I did not have to wear a slip underneath, as it is lined and I did not find it to be see through at all. I would totally consider getting this in a lighter color for spring/summer. You cannot beat it!" —A Abbott

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes S–L and two colors).

    18. spring-ready dress available in extended sizes designed with an impressively detailed scalloped hem and off-the-shoulder fit that takes a seemingly simple dress to a whole new level.

    Promising review: "I ordered the size I normally wear and it fits great! Got it for vacation and ended up using it as a swimsuit cover up as well; the elastic in the waist and shoulders makes it easy to get on and off." —Kira T.

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes 0X–4X and 21 colors).

    19. racerback tank top that's basic enough to be a staple in your closet, but elevated by the high halter neckline and long curved hem.

    Promising review: "Great top!! I live in Hawaii and am always in the sun so I love a high-necked top that covers my chest. This one is extremely comfortable. It has a loose fit and the fabric is both light and super soft, but opaque enough that you can wear without a bra." —Maui Jill

    Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 39 colors).

    20. A stretchy "freezer dress" made with moisture-wicking fabric, temperature-regulating technology, and UPF 30 sun protection, so you can feel confident wearing this outside in the heat even if you have the tendency to overheat no matter what you wear.

    Promising review: "This dress is SO comfy! Looks great as a casual dress and just as great as any 'dressy' dress. I love the feel of the material. Even on a hot day, it is very comfortable and doesn't stick to you." —Zuumn

    Get it from Amazon for $50+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 112 colors/patterns).

    21. A bestselling pair of Amazon Essentials flats with over 40,000 five-star ratings…so they must really be that good. Reviewers rave that they didn't have to spend much time breaking them in as they are incredibly flexible, comfortable, and lightweight right out of the package!

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

    Promising review: "These ballet flats are surprisingly comfortable. In my experience as someone with wide feet it's firstly hard to find these types of shoes that I can fit, but also hard to find ones that are comfortable as well. So when I ordered these I was pretty much expecting the same; however, they not only fit as expected but are ridiculously comfortable. I could almost run in these (though I would not suggest), that is how comfortable they are. I really like the simple look to them as well. So if you are looking for some ballet flats that are comfortable to wear and that will not wear your feet out these are the ones for you." —M

    Get them from Amazon for $19.92+ (available in sizes 5–15, two widths, and 31 colors).

    22. A popular maxi dress with short sleeves AND POCKETS for max comfort, breathability, and convenience to actually have somewhere to put your phone and keys.

    Promising review: "This dress is lightweight enough to wear in warmer weather, and I'm looking forward to wearing it with tights and a long cardigan well into cooler months. A blank canvas to accessorize as you like with long necklaces, boho bracelets, a wide-brimmed hat. Looks great with sandals, probably cute with snow boots. All around a versatile, staple piece. I imagine it'd be great for capsule collections. I live with a dog who sheds fur furiously (ha), and I was easily able to shake his fur out of the dress and still go out in public. The fabric doesn't hold on to fur and, if you get a dark color, is fairly forgiving to messes and stains throughout the day, for those of us who are inclined to be a little clumsy." —Amber

    Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes S-3XL and 34 colors/patterns).

    23. Or a sleeveless version if spring and warmer weather makes you want to *strictly* wear tops without sleeves so you can soak up as much sun as possible while you have the chance.

    Promising review: "I love the fit of this dress. Perfect fit on top without squeezing, and nice flowing drape from a sort of empire waist, making for a very comfortable and forgiving style. The length is perfect, just to the top of the foot, so I can walk in flip-flops (or bare feet in the house) w/o tripping. And of course, can’t beat a dress with pockets." —Amazon Customer fb

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 35 colors).

    24. A "Black Art Matters" T-shirt dress boasting a beautiful print that will have people staring at you all day long (or maybe they're just staring at how good you look, who really knows). This is perfect for those days you want to be cute and comfy without thinking, just throw this on and head out the door.

    Get it from Domo Ink for $40 (available in sizes XS–XL and also in gray).

    25. A pair of Blowfish micro-wedge sandals with a crossed, faux-leather strap detail to elevate your spring footwear game. Unlike many other flat sandals, these have a suuuper cushiony footbed so you don't have to worry about choosing between fashion and function. 

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

    Promising review: "These are realllly cute! I thought the were going to be tight at first, because I have wide feet. I wore them once and now they are perfect. I get compliments on these all the time." —Natasha

    Get them from Amazon for $33.96+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 29 colors).

    26. A pair of lightweight athletic shorts perfect for exercising in, or not, we don't judge. With a wide leg opening and pockets (!! that actually fit your phone and not just one single key or like a couple dollar bills), these will be your new fave pair of shorts.

    Promising review: "If you haven’t purchased yet, go ahead and do it right now! These are the comfiest running shorts. I’ve got bigger hips/butt which makes finding running shorts a tad harder. Other popular brands feel restrictive, but these have an extra give to them. They come up a little higher than most running short, which I love, Even with them coming up higher, they do not look too short or like booty shorts. I’ve already ordered three additional pairs." —Haley LeBarron

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 36 colors).

    27. A comfortable headband with a subtle floral pattern if you don't consider white a color and find it acceptable to have a little pop of it (every once in a while). Depending on how you're feeling that day, you can either wear the twist on the top for an extra detail, or flip it to be on the bottom so you have a flat top.

    Get it from Pretty In Leopard on Etsy for $8.95+ (available with and without buttons).

    28. pair of moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating joggers made out of the same material as sheets, so you're basically wearing your bed all day. I mean, if I can't actually be in my bed, this is definitely the next best thing.
