1. A smocked tie-shoulder top that'll be your go-to top all summer long. Throw it on with a pair of shorts and some fun slides, and you're ready for the day — whether it consists of a picnic at the park or a backyard barbecue with the fam.
2. A pair of cotton pajama shorts because it's time to put away those flannel PJs you've been sweating in every night. And what's better than sleeping shorts with sailor hat-wearing dogs?! Adorbs.
3. A square-neck ruffle maxi dress because there's nothing better than a flowy, breezy dress for those summer scorchers. Dress it up with a pair of heels and some statement earrings for a summer wedding, or dress it down with flip-flops and a straw hat for weekend brunching.
4. A tortoise-ring bandeau bikini top for lounging by the pool, sipping on a fruity umbrella drink, and reading a new book. Yep, time to book that tropical island vacation you've been dreaming about all year long.
5. A pair of classic denim shorts that'll instantly become part of your summer 2022 uniform. Wear them with your favorite bodysuit, or do that perfect French tuck with a cute button-down — they'll look great either way.
6. A pair of raffia fringe statement earrings that are the perfect finishing touch for every summer outfit. Unlike most statement earrings, these are so lightweight you won't feel like your ears are about to fall off by the end of the day.
7. A pair of printed knot slide sandals that are as comfy as they are cute. Dressier than flip-flops but just as easy to wear, you can pair these with pretty much anything in your closet.
8. A linen-cotton mini skirt for the most versatile piece in your summer wardrobe. Go dressy and throw it on with a nice blouse and heels for a day at the office, or super relaxed with a simple tee and white sneakers when you set that out-of-office email.
9. A pair of seersucker scalloped shorts for a country club summer vibe, because there's nothing more preppy than seersucker, stripes, and a blue and white color combo. One reviewer even said they're "an absolute staple for your preppy closet!"
10. A button-front tank top with ruffle straps that you'll find yourself reaching for whether you're in jeans, shorts, or a skirt. Ruffles seriously make every piece of clothing better. Case in point — this adorable tank.
11. A printed knot headband that'll be your favorite hair accessory of the season. It comes in six cute patterns and colors and for under $15 right now; you may want to snag one of each.
12. A linen-blend jumpsuit for an effortlessly chic summer vibe. Add a pair of oversized sunglasses and a wide-brim straw hat, and you'll feel like you're vacationing on the cobblestone streets of Europe instead of just picking up milk at the corner grocery store.
13. A graphic tee to add to your ever-growing collection. But seriously, how could you pass some of these up... "Vacation crew"? "Hello sunshine"? Yeah, we're gonna need a bunch of these.
14. A washed denim baseball cap that you can throw on and still look cute, especially when even dry shampoo isn't cutting it. It comes in five different colors and styles — like this cream-colored one with an embroidered detail of a classic Jeep Wagoneer and surfboard. You can never have enough hats, and this one is so adorable, don't be surprised if it's featured in most of your summer pics.
15. A pair of linen-blend drawstring shorts for hot days when you can't think of anything worse than tight-fitting shorts. These are super loose and breezy, and one reviewer even said that "these shorts are as comfy as PJs," which is pretty much the ultimate stamp of approval in our book.
16. A V-neck one-piece swimsuit with a ruffle shoulder detail that will convert every one-piece hater. You'll love the plunging neckline, cute ruffles, and adorable pattern options — especially for the steal of a price, since it's on sale.
17. A wide straw belt that you'll get a ton of use out of this summer. Wear it with a pair of denim shorts and a fun graphic tee for a relaxed but put-together outfit, or totally transform a plain dress with it. Don't underestimate the power of a good belt!
18. A cover-up with tie-straps that's so pretty it'll easily transition from beach to dinner and back to the beach. Get it in a cute multicolored stripe or a fun seashell print — it's on sale, and you do not want to miss out.
19. A cotton crewneck tee that you can wear on its own or layer under a denim jacket for a classic summer look. It comes in stripes and a ton of solids that make great summer basics or year-round layering pieces.
20. A ruffle-sleeve mini dress to take you from a day of meetings at the office to post-work happy hour without an outfit change. We all need a dress like that in our closets, and this one fits the bill.
21. A reversible layering tank top that has a scoop-neck on one side and a V-neck on the other — absolutely genius. There's nothing like a good layering tank you can tuck into shorts on super-hot days or wear under a chunky cardigan when there's a chill in the air.
22. A linen-cotton city skirt that you can pair with a matching top for a chic monochromatic outfit, or wear with a chambray shirt and sneakers for an impromptu family dinner. One shopper said they have "a rainbow of these skirts" in their closet because it's such a versatile piece.
23. A pair of raffia slide sandals for an elevated sandal that you can slip on with a sweet little dress or even just jeans and a tee. Plus, you can't go wrong with raffia — it's the summer staple that'll never go out of style.
24. A sleeveless tiered mini dress that'll be the comfiest dress you buy this season. It's made from breathable cotton and is perfect for those days when you don't feel like making an effort (like, at all) but still need to look put-together. Boom, done!
25. A lightweight cotton button-down so you can roll up the sleeves and tuck it into shorts for the ultimate classic summer look. Everyone needs a good button-down in their closet, and this highly rated shirt comes in five different gingham colors as well as a fun strawberry and seashell print.
26. A pair of lace-up espadrille wedges for anyone who's been on the hunt for a pair of heels that are actually comfortable. These are it — they offer a lot of support and almost make you feel like you're not even wearing heels, while being super stylish and elegant.
27. A scalloped cami top that'll instantly zhush up a plain pair of jeans and make it dinner-and-drinks-worthy. The scalloped neckline adds a nice little detail, as do the thin straps and the silky material. One reviewer said they have it in eight (!!!) colors, and lucky for you, now is your chance to get it on sale.
28. A printed canvas tote bag to fill with drinks, snacks, sunscreen, magazines, and anything else you can fit for a day at the beach. How adorable is this strawberry print that just screams, "Hello, summer"?!
29. A comfy cotton V-neck tee because you can never have enough basic T-shirts in your summer wardrobe. This classic V-neck is such a J.Crew staple that hundreds of reviewers rave about how many colors they've bought this ever-popular basic in.
30. A pair of bike shorts with side pockets that are super comfortable and feel like a way more expensive pair. If you haven't worn bike shorts since you were in middle school, it's time to bring this comfy trend back this summer.
31. A pair of rounded-frame sunglasses if you're always breaking yours and need a cute and affordable new pair (or two). New season, new sunnies. 😎
