1. A pretty lacy plunge top if you want to show some skin... enough to keep ‘em guessing, while still looking like you stepped out of a romantic daydream.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This top became one of my favorites right away. It’s easy to dress up with a skirt or wear casually with jeans. The stretch is comfortable, and it doesn’t lose its shape after washing. Definitely a great basic to keep in rotation." —AQ

Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 16 colors).

2. A pair of bike shorts which have racked up over 7,500 glowing reviews for being tough, comfy, high-quality, and pocket-equipped. They’re squatproof, feather-light, and basically the MVP of your athleisure lineup.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "If you’re wondering whether these shorts can handle heat, hills, and a hefty helping of cinnamon bread, let me assure you: THEY CAN. I wore these to Dollywood during what I can only describe as a sauna with roller coasters, and these babies held up like champs. Fit? Perfect. Comfort? Like a gentle hug for my thighs. Breathable? I didn’t feel like a baked potato despite 90+ degrees and 98% humidity. They didn’t ride up, roll down, or betray me in any way, even while chasing my kids and sprinting to beat the line for cinnamon bread. And the pockets? ROOMY. I fit my phone, a park map, and a half-melted snack bar in there with zero bounce. If these shorts can survive Dollywood, they can survive anything." —April

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL, three inseams, and 27 colors).

3. A bestselling padded sports bra featuring the iconic Nike Swoosh — supportive, sculpted, and so comfortable you’ll forget you ever owned anything with underwire.

Nike

Promising review: "I just bought three of these bras, and they are amazing. Great material, very comfortable, super breathable, and they fit great. If you're someone looking for a bra where the padding is removable, these may not be for you, as the padding is not removable. I will definitely be ordering more of these in the future; my new favorite bra. Love Nike as always!" —emma587844891

7. A buttery soft, stretchy pair of leggings that are and have been my absolute *favorite* for years now, as they fit like a glove, never ride up or down, and are from a woman-owned, independent business. These come in a neutral deep black, but check out their shop for other cool patterns and colors that are equally as cute and comfy.

REGENBOGENSCHWARZ / Etsy

Promising review: "Everything I’ve ordered from this shop is amazing! These leggings are no exception. I love the high waist and the extra length. They are not see-through at all and very soft and comfortable. Had an issue with delivery losing my package (no fault of the shop), and they were super responsive, sending a replacement pair right away. Great customer service! I know I will be ordering more. Thank you!" —amysheffer1

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This shirt looks cute and keeps up quite well. I've worn it for a year with frequent washes, and the only thing I noticed is a little bit of peeling of the fabric, but again, I got a lot of wear out of it already. I purchased another one in a different color and got the same quality again. It has some nice feel to it and just the right amount of stretch." —Imki

Get it from Amazon for $17.09+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 30 colors).

I have worn and washed this every week for the past month and a half, and it has held up. It’s not uncomfortable like I know some sports tend to be. It's a soft material, and the straps don’t dig into the shoulders at all." —Cassandra

Get it from Amazon for $14.94+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 37 colors).

11. A long-sleeve (or sleeveless, if you prefer) crewneck tee with the feel of your fave most lived-in tee and the look of a professional work blouse. What a winner.

Amazon

Promising review: "This shirt is very comfortable, soft, and fits true to size. The color has not faded and is exactly as the picture showed. I would buy more of these in different colors. I wear it to work (teacher) often. It is lightweight and good for fall and springtime." —Liz

Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in sizes 1X–5X and 11 colors/patterns).

12. A flowy pair of linen palazzo pants reviewers rave are *perfect* as they help keep you cool as a cucumber, fit fantastically, and go with EVERY single top in your closet. Yeah, pretty much perf pants, if you ask me.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Psst: Reviewers warn these may shrink a bit in the dryer, so you might want to air dry them!

Promising review: "This is my second pair of these pants. They are so comfortable, you can really live in these. I’m a substitute teacher, and they are something easy just to throw on and go. They do shrink a bit in length after washing. I probably could have gotten a medium, but I stayed with the large because of the shrinkage. They stay on, they don’t roll. I have black and brown, and they aren’t see-through. The pants as a whole feel heavy, but when you put them on, they are light and breezy. I run hot, so that’s important to me. The fabric is fine in my opinion, it doesn’t make me sweat or anything. I highly recommend these!!" —Jenn

Get them from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 23 colors).

amazon.com

Promising review: "THERE'S A PERFECT SLIT for peeing! At first I thought, Aw, man... it's ripped! But it's not! The material is soft. I teach dance and wore it today, and the shorts NEVER rode up! Nice lines, comfortable support. It's not corset style, more of a control smoothing. It fits great!" —NoNeed4ne

I work with kids and had a kid pull the collar of my shirt; I even heard the stretch! But it was completely fine! Not a tear or anything! I wore it after this incident, and it still looks perfect!" —Sadey Maly

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 30 colors/patterns).

19. A stretchy scoop tank top that only goes with EVERY bottom you own — jeans, skirts, joggers, you name it — and feels like your second skin while doing it. What a winner.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "It’s cropped just enough without being too short and fits like a dream. The fabric is thick, stretchy, and not see-through, which can be hard to find in a basic tank. It’s super comfortable and incredibly versatile — I usually wear it under button-ups or sweaters, but it looks great on its own, too. It holds up well in the wash, but the color does fade a bit faster than higher-end pieces. That said, for the price, I’m happy to keep rebuying it." —Ava

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–L and 40 colors).

20. A casual jumpsuit if you can't decide what to wear. This thing is one-and-done and feels like pajamas, but looks like you have your life very put together (even if you're just headed to the mailbox).

Get it from Amazon for $23.11+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 32 colors/patterns).

Promising review: "Perfect! This is so comfy, I don’t ever want to take it off! It is very oversized, but after I washed it, it’s actually so perfect. The color and quality are amazing.

Promising reviews: "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. 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." —Nathan R Ford

Promising review: "Such a great shirt! A little bit of a dressed-up T-shirt makes this a favorite for me. The fabric is soft and it fits well. It’s not oversize, so it looks like a more expensive shirt than a regular tee. Buy it!" —Delaney B.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 25 colors/patterns).
