BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-06-18 05:02

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

1. A stretchy off-the-shoulder jumpsuit because it's earned an impressive amount of 5-star ratings for how soft, lightweight, and incredibly versatile it is. Loads of reviewers have even picked it up in several colors! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I actually really like this jumpsuit. It’s very comfortable. The material is thin enough to be a breathable fabric but thick enough not to be see-through. I would and will buy another one." —Danielle Delgado

Get it from Amazon for $30.39+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 32 styles). 

2. A retro-style pencil dress to become *thee* office siren in a cap-sleeve style that just might make the C-suite question why you haven't been promoted yet. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The material is breathable and lightweight. While it does stretch, it has a very sophisticated look! Can't wait to wear this on my cruise!"  —Marcella Moore

Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 22 colors/styles).

3. A pair of incredibly versatile high-waisted leggings so you can lounge, work out, and go out all in the same pair of super soft and stretchy leggings that feel lightweight without being see-through. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

A testament to these stretchy wonders — tons of reviewers say these leggings have been by their side before, during, and after pregnancy!

Promising review: "I've had these pants for over a year and worn them probably 350 times, and they still look great. They don't pill or anything. They are soo soft and comfortable and breathable. They are like everyday leggings, not workout leggings, even though I have worked out in them, too. They can be dressed up or down. I've had the black this whole time and just got the gray. Love!" —E’smom

Get it from Amazon for $14.24+ (available in one size, plus-size, three styles and 20 colors/prints).

4. Or these high-waisted cutout leggings if you want the same elite comfort and buttery softness with a bit more edge. You thought the "rips" just looked cool, but they also double as sneaky ventilation to keep you cool. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are legitimately SO comfortable. I got them in a size medium, I believe, and seriously cannot tell you how many more I’m going to get. They fit snugly on your waist, and they are BREATHABLE, which is something that I can’t say for all. The quality is so soft, and they’re honestly pretty easy to put on. I will be ordering many more to come." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 18 colors). 

5. A moisture-wicking sleeveless workout dress that's equipped with a built-in bra, adjustable straps, and pocketed shorts for a versatile style that's as fashionable as it is functional. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This dress is AMAZING. I love the removable bra pads. This is a dress you could work out in. The material is very breathable, and I LOVE how deep the pockets are. They easily fit my iPhone 11. I hardly ever order clothes online because I’m so picky with how clothes fit. This is a winner. I’m going to buy more colors!! Just buy it!" —Manda 

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 15 colors).

6. A double-lined racerback crop top for a versatile closet staple that's soft, breathable, and supportive enough to work out in, but with a sleek silhouette that's totally going out-approved. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is my new fave everyday tank — so comfy and stretchy. It’s double-layered, so you don’t have to wear a bra and still get support. The fabric is kinda like a sports bra, so it’s super breathable. Absolutely recommend. I definitely need more color options!! :)" —Jenna 

Get it from Amazon for $22.97 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 32 colors). 

7. A collared button-down blouse if you're on the hunt for an easy, lightweight layer to toss on when the AC is blasting too much or your shoulders just can't take another day getting crisped up under the sun. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Wanted a comfy shirt that would be lighter than flannel and still be comfortable as a shirt or light jacket if it was a bit chilly. This is perfect. The material is breathable fabric, lightweight, so it’s not overly warm, but just enough for a night that’s a bit chilly." —Denise 

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 18 colors)

8. A pair of lightweight tapered joggers to finally give all your inferior (aka sagging, stiff, and scratchy) lounge pants a chance to retire. This supremely soft style strikes a fine line between jogger and legging, making it perfect for just about everything from exercising and errands to enjoying a glass of wine on the couch. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are my favorite, and I had to buy them in another color. They are thin and breathable without being sheer or worrying about them tearing. They are well-made, and I don't have to worry about chaffing wearing away any material." —Katie 

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 22 colors). 

9. A pair of casual wide-leg overalls because it'll snag you loads of compliments out at brunch, yet is comfortable enough to see you through that post-mimosa nap. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Because these are 100% cotton, reviewers recommend sizing up to account for shrinking or sticking with your regular size and line drying them. 

Promising review: "Love these and so glad I bit the bullet and purchased! I wear it over a black shirt, and it’s the perfect outfit for looking on trend yet staying comfortable. Breathable cotton, double pockets, and adjustable straps!" —ShelB

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and in 23 colors). 

10. A pair of flowy running shorts so you can confuse everyone at the gym. Is it a tennis skirt? Shorts? Or something else entirely? Either way, you'll be crushing your workouts and looking good doing it. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these shorts! They are so comfortable. The shorts are so comfortable that I wear them to bed. They are breathable and perfect to work out in! I bought these for a Halloween costume, and they became my favorite pair of shorts. The material is so smooth and soft. I also love that there is a pocket so that there is somewhere to put your phone while you are working out." —Amie Pike

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 27 colors/styles). 

11. A pull-on sleeveless maxi dress if you've got a zero-tolerance policy for anything that can't be described as "easy breezy" when temperatures creep up past 75 degrees. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I live in a hot climate, so I needed something for a church that would be cute but not kill me when outside. This is perfect. Breathable enough, but it looks so nice, and I’m comfy!" —Morgan Joy 

Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 20 colors). 

12. A lightweight flowy longline cardigan that you can toss on over LITERALLY ANYTHING for added sun protection that won't instantly make you melt or a little extra warmth come sundown. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It's available in one size that typically fits sizes XS–3XL. 

Promising review: "This piece is every bit as soft and flowy as you could want it. I bought a gray and black one. Love it. The material is a fine, woven rayon, not the plastic-y artificial chiffon you so often find. Cool, breathable, and feather-light. Highly recommend." —Jan Brady!

Get it from Amazon for $25.96 (available in one size and 45 colors/prints). 

13. A super comfyloose-sitting jumpsuit for a new lounge staple that feels a bit more grown-up and coordinated than the leggings and T-shirt you won in that 5K six years ago. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The regular fit is pretty baggy (great four lounging), but if you want something slightly more form-fitting, reviewers suggest ordering a size smaller than your usual. 

Promising review: "I was not sure what to expect from this jumpsuit, but it fits perfectly and is soo comfortable. I thought it would be more of a loungewear outfit, but it’s cute enough to wear out casually. The fabric is breathable but not see-through." —Laura 

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 18 color/styles). 

14. A breezy two-piece pant and blouse set if you want to bring big ~main character energy~ to your wardrobe with matching separates that feel anything but basic.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Really love this set. It’s flowy and breathable. The length was good, and I love the color. Wrinkles easily but that’s an easy fix. Not sheer or see-through, so no need to layer up underneath." —S.E.

Get it from Amazon for $23.24+ (available in XS–4XL Plus and in 20 colors/styles). 

15. A pair of high-waisted biker shorts with over 60,000 5-star ratings to do just about anything in — lounge, exercise, wear under dresses, or don alone with your favorite top for a comfy look that won't leave you sweating bullets.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have only recently begun wearing actual shorts. I've always had thick thighs and hated how most shorts either rode up in the middle as I walked or my thighs chaffed. These shorts are the answer to all my previous dilemmas. They fit true-to-size. They are comfy and breathable while also not being see-through at ALL! I will be purchasing several more of these as they have become my new favorite articles of clothing. Oh, and the absolute best part is they have POCKETS!!!!! Pockets on the legs not on the waistband like most biker shorts or leggings, which is super inconvenient to use. A large enough pocket on each leg to comfortably hold my phone in its case! These are the perfect shorts IMO." —Allison Clay

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL, three lengths, and 32 colors/styles).

16. Or a pair of high-waisted biker shorts because they're certifiably squat-proof and the perfect length for tossing on with your favorite hoodie while embarking on your hot girl coffee walk. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wanted some athletic shorts that were different than my many solid colors. And most importantly — not see-through. I don't want to worry about bending over, wearing a long top, sweating, etc. These shorts are exactly what I hoped to find. They are made of quality material that feels durable and still stretchy. It's thick enough not to be see-through when stretched and still breathable. The pattern and coloring are super cute, too. I feel most comfortable with the high waist thick band, so I'm happy these shorts have that, too. I have zero complaints." —kelly 

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–M and 18 colors/prints).

17. An organic cotton fit and flare midi dress that's buttery soft, features a built-in shelf bra, and even has pockets big enough for your phone. I crown thee the champion of all sundresses! 

Pact

I bought this same dress in spring 2022 (in a now-retired print), and it IMMEDIATELY became a frequent, in-rotation staple. The fabric is thick and substantial (i.e., durable) yet very breathable and not hot — being able to skip the bra helps. Those were my baseline hopes for this dress, which it delivered splendidly. What I didn't expect was how this manages to be the only dress where I can utilize the massive pockets without having the whole thing looking bulgy and feeling weighed down.A true feat in sundress engineering, if you ask me. 

Get it from Pact for $68 (available in sizes XS–3XL and in five prints and two lengths). 

18. These super soft drawstring capri pants with functional pockets for a versatile style that's got all the stretch you could ever need, whether you're striking poses at yoga or on your couch watching RuPaul's Drag Race. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These capris are amazing. So comfortable and easy to slip on. Easy to move in and with pockets! Really great in warm weather because they are breathable. I was so pleased I ordered another pair. Love this product!" —Kimberly Renee Prevo

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL and in 17 styles). 

19. Some budget-friendly period underwear because handling Aunt Flo really can be as easy as...well...putting on your underwear. This affordable pair can absorb the equivalent of two tampons so you can go about your day (or night) without fretting about unexpected leakages or turning to disposable pads that tend to feel like a sweaty diaper come summertime. 

www.amazon.com

Some reviewers recommend sizing up! For more info, check out BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord's full Bambody period underwear review.

Promising review: "These are amazing! Very comfortable. I don't know how they are with leak protection; I got them to use in conjunction with my flex discs and for after my period, so I don't have to use liners anymore. They're not hot and feel breathable, especially compared to wearing a liner. Hopefully, I can afford to get another set, so I have enough for the week because washing and drying them properly is a little time-consuming." —Crystal 

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–6XL, sold individually or as multipacks in various colors).

20. A casual collared long-sleeve blouse to bring some ~buttoned-up~ polish to your wardrobe without ever straying into boring territory. You'll be praising the long sleeves inside your AC-blasted office, but thankful for the breathability when you step outside for lunch. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This top is just PERFECT!! 🤩 I have to say this is one of the best shirts I’ve ever purchased! I bought it for a retro-themed party. Believe me when I say all the reviews here are completely true; you will be getting compliments all night! The colors are popping and very vibrant! Match it with red lipstick if you’d like. 💄 😉 I wore this on a hot summer night, and the top still felt cool and breathable! I’d definitely recommend buying it even for any occasion!" —Priscilla

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 19 colors/prints). 

21. A comfy Warner's wire-free bra because you've got 99 bra-blems but loads of boob sweat won't be one of them with this bra's cloud-level comfort and lightweight support.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I adore these bras. It is a very comfortable fit, super lightweight, and breathable fabric. The perfect bra for me!" —sarah lee

Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 13 colors).

And here are some more wireless bras if you're looking for similar styles!

22. A flared mini skater skirt with built-in shorts so you can simply pull it on and head out without the rigmarole of finding not-too-bulky shorts to layer underneath for modesty and/or comfort reasons. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "One of my favorite purchases from Amazon. I love this skirt. Love that the shorts are attached! It’s the perfect skirt for dressing modestly and can match many things in my closet. My favorite things to pair it with are my sheer tights and black turtleneck. Confused about the sheer rating since it’s not sheer at all. Material is durable but breathable." —Alana Miranda

Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in sizes XS–4XL and in 28 colors/prints). 

23. A stretchy bodycon pencil dress if you want clothing that hugs your curves without making you feel like a sweaty sausage casing. Reviewers say this dress molds to your body but is lightweight enough to be a strong warm-weather option. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The dress is very light and breathable. The dress stretches to your body, not tight at all. The fabric is soft, and this dress can be worn on any occasion. Very happy with my purchase! :)" —Gwen

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in three colors). 

24. A flowy long-sleeve jumpsuit for a showstopping 'fit that's surprisingly versatile. With a bit of clever accessorizing, this one piece can see you through casual nights in and celebratory nights out with ease. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "LOVE this jumpsuit! I bought it in black and red. I have worn it to several occasions and would buy it again. Very stretchy and fits comfortably. Material is a great thickness where it is breathable but not sheer."  —Kenzie Frantz

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 10 colors). 

25. A lightweight twist bodycon dress with a cooling front cutout for an easy summer staple you'll be reaching for all season long. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Normally, I wouldn't try to pull this dress off. But we went to Jamaica, and I figured if I looked horrible, I'd probably never see those people again, so it didn't matter. Turns out, the dress was amazing. Perfect amount of breathable without being sheer. The cut and fit were so great. I got a ton of compliments from other women at the resort wanting to know where I got it!" —Tiff Cox

Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 13 colors/prints). 

26. A high-waisted A-line midi skirt to fill the jean-sized hole left behind when you packed away your winter clothes. This breezy alternative pairs well with loads of styles, and features a saucy side slit you'll especially love on hot days. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Absolutely love this piece, and it was really comfortable! It may be a little sheer, but I didn’t notice it was see-through at all. If anything, you could wear a slip! Breathable and nice material, and it fits super nicely. It’s a straight fit with a vibrant pattern. It fit perfectly and arrived just in time! It fits comfortably with a little room, not too tight." —Meg 

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 26 colors/prints). 

27. A pair of cozy drawstring bermuda shorts if you're not much of a short shorts person. This knee-length option is no less comfortable (maybe even more so). 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Really durable, comfortable, breathable, and a good length." —Michelle Carabello-Landefeld

"I love the brand's yoga pants, so I thought I would try the shorts. I am so glad I did; they are as comfy and soft as the yoga pants, the length is perfect and are great for working out, walking, or running errands. They can be dressed up with a cute sleeveless top for lunch with friends." —Kristy 

Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in S–4XL and in 20 colors).
