1. A pair of cow-print pants that'll finally mooootivate you to try out this super fun trend. Now this is what I call ranch dressing.
Promising review: "I am my younger self's icon. WARNING: only buy these pants if you are comfortable receiving compliments from groups of middle school girls. Also the occasional mooing from your boyfriend. :) These pants are absolutely lovely. The fabric is more canvas like than it is jean, but it totally works with the style." —Maria
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and 19 styles).
2. A plaid Peter Pan collar dress giving maximum Lexi Howard vibes — I've never even seen Euphoria and I know that much. This cutie can be super sweet or cool and edgy depending on how you style it; personally, I'd rock it with combat boots!
Promising review: "I recently bought a whole bunch of dresses on Amazon, and I gotta say, this one was my favorite of all of them! :) I just love plaid, and this dress with the Peter Pan collar actually looks very similar to an expensive designer dress I had been eyeing! Now I have a budget-friendly look. This dress is very lightweight (I do wish it was a little thicker, but no worries!). I added a petticoat under mine for some extra flare (but it looks good without one, too!). I also added a black bow at the neck for a school uniform feel. Adore it!!" —libbyfranc
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in seven colors).
3. Seriously stylish faux leather shorts that are even more of a bargain when you consider you can wear them for all seasons — they look sooooo cute with tights!
4. A tie-dye lavender heart print T-shirt, which is basically happiness in sartorial form.
Get it from Asos for $26 (available in sizes 12–26).
5. Slouchy overalls with roomy pockets and a lightweight fabric perfect for lounging or striking the balance of comfy and cute on the weekends — while still being extremely mirror-selfie-worthy.
Some reviewers recommend sizing down, unless you're tall!
Promising review: "I never want to take them off! If you've been hesitant about whether or not to buy these, then this is your official sign to just do it!! I kept these in my 'saved for later' cart for nearly a year before finally deciding to take the leap, and oh my GOSH I am so glad I did! This is officially my favorite pair of overalls and absolutely perfect for fall. They're so comfortable, and I most certainly will be ordering more in other colors. So, if you're looking to unleash your inner painter/gardener, then this is the perfect outfit for you :D." —Nathan R Ford
Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and in 21 colors and prints).
6. A collared, quilted bomber jacket I foresee you tossing over Every. Single. Outfit. once the weather gets chilly. And you absolutely can, thanks to the oversized shape and effortlessly cool vibe.
It has side pockets!
Get it from Target for $42 (available in sizes XS–4X and in six colors).
7. Delightful embroidered straight leg jeans guaranteed to score you ~sew~ many compliments.
Some reviewers say they run small!
Promising review: "Gorgeous jeans. Love these!! Comfy fit and they make me feel amazing. I've had a few hangups around jeans recently but these gave me more confidence. Beautiful detailed embroidery too. I always love the details/writing inside Boden jeans too. It's like an IRL easter egg!" —anonymous
Get them from Boden for $130 (available in sizes 2–16/18 regular and 4–14 long).
8. An easy and breezy pocketed polka-dot maxi dress that's a ~spot-on~ choice for anyone who values comfort and style equally, especially on sweaty days.
Reviewers say it runs a bit large!
Promising review: "Love the dress. Fits well. Loose but I like it like that. Nice fabric. Flowy and soft. It's an easy-breezy dress for spring and summer. Straps are adjustable. Doesn't drag the ground but it is long. Pockets are nice touch." —Pamela Justice
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes 4–22 and in 26 prints).
9. A bright tweed jacket sure to make all the boring blazers in your closet ~green~ with envy.
Promising review: "Dress up for work — or dress this down for brunch! I can't wait to wear this out with a white V-neck T, BIG SHADES, gold hoops, red lips, jeans, and white Nikes. The color is GORG and it would be cute over anything!" —Britt Dz.
Get it from Eloquii for $139.95 (available in sizes 14–28).
10. A regal metallic pleated maxi skirt with an elastic waist, because who says glam and comfy can't mix? This will give new, sparkly life to any — and I mean any — other pieces you pair it with.
For example, I am living for the way the reviewer above styled it with a casual hoodie!!!!
Promising review: "The pictures do not do this skirt justice. I received over 20 compliments at our company Christmas party. The silver is both a light silver and dark silver at the same time and it picks up and mimics whatever color you put with it. It’s the perfect complement to any top!!" —Teri M
Get it from Amazon for $22.96+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in eight colors and knee- or ankle-length).
11. A dreamy floral midi dress you can dress up with heels and a statement necklace or down with booties. I ~petal~ your friends will wanna know where you got it.
12. A fierce duster-length cardigan with leopard embroidery that's an entire outfit on its own. Just pop on basics underneath — be it jeans and a tee or an LBD — and everyone will be ~paws~ing to compliment you.
13. A super fun crop top and skirt set that basically makes taking an OOTD pic *required*. Your favorite style Instagrammer has met their match.
Since it's two pieces, you can also break it up and use the top and skirt separately to create tons of fabulous looks.
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 5'6"), and it made it look even cuter! Who gave me permission?! Just get it, OK? That’s the point here." —Sara
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 21 prints).
14. Or a polka-dot crop top and maxi skirt set sure to make you easy to ~spot~ at outdoor brunch. Your pals always know to look for the most stylish person present.
15. The now-iconic Hill House Ellie Nap dress that's an internet fave for a reason. The comfort + how pretty it'll make you feel on a sunny day = unmatched.
Hill House is a fave of BuzzFeed editors, influencers, and pretty much everyone I see on the street in NYC. The Nap Dress exploded in popularity in the quarantine days when we were all 1) in need of comfy clothes to work from home in that still felt cute and 2) desperate to infuse our wardrobes with Bridgerton vibes. Well, both of those things are still true, and even now that people actually leave the house more, these dresses are just as much of an It item as ever. The first time I wore mine to a dinner, TWO other people at the restaurant were wearing it in different prints.
I finally gave in and bought one at the beginning of the summer, because I couldn't pass up the new lavender stripe version. I'm completely in love with it, even though there are a couple cons. The lavender stripe style is pretty sheer and def benefits from a slip skirt underneath. Also, since it's linen, it does wrinkle pretty easily (I have a couple other Hill House items in different materials that do, too tbh) — but with some Laundress Crease Release spray, you can delay the need to iron it. And you know what? Those two small issues were a small price to pay for how incredible I feel in this dress. There's soooo much stretch in the bodice, making it super comfy but also able to perfectly conform to your bust. It runs nice and roomy because of this too, so size down if you're in between sizes. The twirlworthy midi length is *chef's kiss*, and those shoulder straps??? The perfect level of ruffle to frame your gorgeous face without being overwhelming, and they don't slip off your shoulder like the straps on so many dresses in similar styles do. And OF COURSE it has pockets. I will be checking for new prints season after season — and I've already caved and bought the pink rose print, too.
Get it from Hill House for $150 (available in sizes XXS–2XL and in 11 colors).
16. Posh wide-leg pants ready to take crop tops and pretty much every top you'd usually tuck into jeans to new, Parisian-chic heights.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up!
Promising review: "New wardrobe staple! Awesome pants! The quality would make me think they cost more like $60–$90. I bought the tan ones and after wearing them a couple of times went back a week later and bought them in black. Now, I’m 5’6”, and normally when I buy this kind of pants they end up being wayyy too long, but these are the perfect height with 1"–3” heels! They do drag a tiny bit with flats, but I prefer small heels anyway, and it’s not a major tripping hazard or anything. Also I wear a size 10–12 normally, but ordered these in 12–14 both times. I probably could’ve gotten away with ordering a 10, but I’m glad I ordered a size up, because it is loose and has some extra room at the waist. Highly recommend! Buy different colors!" —Stephanie
Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, with a few colors also available in short lengths, and in 31 colors and prints).
17. A rainbow stripe, puff-sleeve midi basically made for twirling and posing. Don't worry, both are very common side effects of purchasing this dress and should wear off once you take it off.
This New York-based, Asian American woman-owned small business makes truly stunning and special vintage-inspired clothing no one else you know will have — they'll all be begging to know where you got your new frock. Consult the size chart in the product description, but also note that this brand tends to run on the smaller side!
Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous dress!! Came exactly as pictured, and better than anything I’ve bought at a big box retailer in years. Considering how voluminous and dramatic the piece is, it’s about as lightweight as you could ask for a lined, semiformal dress. I usually wear a 10 or 12, but I went with a 12 out of caution and it fits like a glove." —Angelina Meehan
Get it from Mr Water New York on Etsy for $89 (available in sizes S–XXL).
18. An on-trend boxy houndstooth sweater vest for a fashion-influecer-y look that still feels quirky and fresh (especially in a pastel shade). It's also versatile enough to layer or rock on its own, making it an ideal transitional weather look.
Back in the good old days/fashion pocket universe that was 2009, I had some favorite Forever 21 sweater-vests that I adored, and I was definitely in the market for one once they started to come back in style. I love the black-and-white versions that are everywhere, but I absolutely cannot resist anything purple. The lavender hue feels so fresh and different, and pairs great with all washes of denim. I'm usually between a medium and a large, and I ordered a large so it was extra cozy and there would be room to layer. It's the ideal 2022 wardrobe item because it's comfy enough to work from/chill out at home in, but also can be dressed up all sorts of ways when you do go out. So far, I've worn it by itself with shorts and jeans, over a white tee with jeans, and over a button-down/under a moto jacket. The layering possibilities are endless!
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes S–L and in 15 colors).
19. A soft and effortless short-sleeve tie-dye maxi dress with pockets, which has left over 3,000 reviewers ~feeling groovy~.
Reviewers say it runs large!
Promising review: "This is the easy, breezy, simple dress I’ve been looking for! It’s super soft with some stretch and has pockets!!! And the tie-dye accent gives it some pizazz so it’s not so plain. You can throw this on for anything. Dress it up with some boots or heels, keep it casual with flip flops or slides. Accessorize with a jean jacket, jewelry, or hats. Want more colors! I normally wear a large in most of my clothes and got the same here; fits loose and flowy as expected." —Ann D.
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 41 styles, including some with long sleeves).
20. An ogre-the-top Shrektacular plaid dress printed with, yes, Shrek and Fiona's lovely faces. Why on earth would you reach for a casual dress in a common print like florals or stripes when you could rock one in OGRE print?!?! Admit it, you've already fallen accidentally in love.
21. A crop top you can twist and knot in all sorts of wonderful ways, so it's like 10 trendy pieces for the (very low) price of one.
Promising review: "Baddie on a budget. I wore this shirt during the day with a tie knot at the chest and then for dinner made it into a wrap shirt and tied it at the back. Super versatile." —Lilybeth Murcia
Get it from Amazon for $19.79+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and 54 colors and prints).
22. A beautifully boho and transitional-weather-friendly mini dress sure to make you wanna hide both your diamonds and your exes, because it's giving me vibes that are *more* than a little bit Alexis.
Will I ever again be able to see a flippy floral dress without thinking of the PR queen of Schitt's Creek? Probably not.
Promising review: "This dress is stunning!!!! 😍😍😍 Based on other reviews I ordered up a size because others said the length of the sides of the dress was a little short. This dress fit perfect!!!! I got so many compliments on it. Definitely recommend ordering up a size though if you are tall. The drawstring in the middle will give it as fitted of a look as you want." —Kala Baker
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 16 prints).
23. A sultry ruched midi skirt with a major slit that you can turn to anytime you're tempted to just throw on denim like usual for a thoroughly upgraded look. I mean, just look at how cool it is with a band tee!
Promising review: "Love this skirt...so comfortable and the slit with the scrunch to it with the tie makes it more than a basic skirt. Loads of compliments when I wore it and was asked where I got it from. Can dress it up or down....very happy with this skirt." —Tonya L.
Get it from Lulus for $46 (available in sizes XS–XL and in three colors).
24. A two-piece crop top and slit-leg pants set for a super breezy and vacay- (or hometown staycay-) ready look you won't even have to think about. Just add sandals and earrings and get ready to strut.
You could also break it up and rock the pants with a cropped tee or the top with denim!
Promising review: "Wow blew me away!!!! It definitely stretches out and boy was I smoking hot on vacation in Puerto Rico. My confidence about my body has increased since I wore this outfit. You won’t be disappointed. Puerto Rico wasn’t ready for me." —Kharlii
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 15 colors and prints).
25. A chunky knit cropped cardi in pretty pastel hues so you can carry warm weather vibes with you even in cooler weather (and add some whimsy to your old fave jeans).
26. A posh checked trench jacket that'll be a transitional weather staple once August sips away like a bottle of wine. Oh, and speaking of bottles of wine, this is giving me serious Olivia Pope vibes.
Get it from Ann Taylor for $198 (available in sizes XXS–XXL regular and XXS–XL petite).
27. A boho tunic dress, which I'm not saying you HAVE to pair with a floppy hat, hoop earrings, and boots for a festival- or autumnal-brunch-ready vibe, but am definitely saying you should.
Promising review: "I rarely write reviews...especially for a dress that costs so little. However, this one is awesome and everyone needs to buy it. I got a ton of compliments when I wore this to work, and then decided to wear it on a Hinge date that night. The date was drunk, but the dress was fabulous. Buy this, wear it to work, wear it on lame dates, wear it to the coffee shop. Wear it everywhere. It's cute and comfy. The only thing I wish is that it had pockets." —Angela Paglino
Get it from Amazon for $33.56+ (available in sizes S–2X and in 10 designs).
28. A swoonworthy, retro-chic collared wide-leg linen jumpsuit ready to swoop in next time you're tempted to wear the same ol' cropped pants and blouse combo to a lunch date. Honestly, nothing in your closet can hope to compete.
Rebdolls is a WOC-owned small business based in Harlem!
Get it from Rebdolls for $74.90 (available in sizes M–5X).
29. A pretty polka-dot skirt with a midi hemline but maximum style, especially when paired with sneakers, tees, and jackets for a weekend of fun.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga has and loves this and writes: "After putting this skirt in tons of posts, I finally caved and ordered one for myself. I paired it with a high-neck tank, a denim jacket, and sneakers and felt super cute when wearing it to my best friend's baby shower. The pleats are adorable, the ruched waist is fun, AND it has pockets!!! I'm literally going to place an order for another one as soon as I can decide between the green and the pink. Screw it, maybe I'll just get both."
Promising review: "This is a great, lightweight skirt. It's versatile and can be dressed up or down. The best part is that it has POCKETS! It's very flowy and fun." —Jessie
Get it from Amazon for $30.89+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 14 prints).
30. A fun tropical leaf-print maxi dress to make you feel so confident, it'll be like you've got the world in the ~palm~ of your hand.
Promising review: "I never leave reviews but...wow! Get yourself this dress! I cannot recommend it enough! I'm working through a lot of self-esteem issues, but this dress made me feel BEAUTIFUL, sexy, and confident. All things I haven't felt in a while. Seriously, wearing it I felt like an ethereal wood nymph roaming the streets of Paris. It definitely gave me a much-needed confidence boost." —BRENDA RODRIGUEZ
Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in sizes L–3XL and in 14 styles).
31. A cool patchwork denim mini skirt with a comfy elastic waist and a trendy design, a combo that's turning me into the human version of the 😍 emoji. Something tells me it'll have the same effect on you.
Get it from Shopbop for $295 (available in sizes XXS–XL).
32. A ridiculously romantic smocked midi dress you can smock...er, rock off the shoulder or on for an on-trend cottagecore vibe either way. Hello, perfect summer dress — come off my Insta feed and into my closet.
Reviewers say it generally runs true to size but a bit on the looser side.
Promising review: "This dress was made for me. Listen, guys, saying this dress is beautiful is such an understatement. Listen, it's the middle of the night and I'm feeling myself. Just wait till it's morning; the looks I'm serving all of you! Update: So I ended up buying three different colors of these dresses. I just loved them all. It's like the designer thought of me when they made these dresses! The material feels great on my body. The upper part is stretchy and fits very well." —Olive Bukuru
Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in eight colors).
33. A chic twist-front faux leather collared top here to prove officewear doesn't have to be boring. And for weekends? Swap that pencil skirt for dark wash jeans.
34. A fun colorblocked denim shacket for anyone who believes '90s art teacher should be the next big aesthetic — move over coastal grandmother and Barbiecore.

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 4/6–10 and in five colors).
37. A super versatile button down and shorts set you'll end up wearing a zillion ways — together, separately, buttoned-up, with the shirt open, as loungewear, dressed up with strappy sandals...I could go on — so buying it is definitely a ~bright~ idea.
38. A bright and beautiful boho chic dress with cooler-weather-friendly long sleeves, a breezy silhouette, and tassel details that'll look like something you picked up from a much fancier store or even in your jet-setting world travels. I mean, you did travel from your couch to your doorstep to open the box....
Reviewer's recommend sizing up if you're busty!
Promising review: "Absolutely adore this dress!! The CUTEST! I bought it in the white/tan color and the really colorful turquoise. Love them both! I feel like they are cute multi-seasonal dresses. You can wear them with sandals in the summer or boots and a cute vest/jacket for fall. Fits perfectly!" —GEM
Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 45 prints).
