www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "BEST SANDALS EVER. I wore these sandals every single day on a 16-day European vacation. I was in the water, streets, sand, and even hiking in these shoes and felt nothing but comfort. Being able to wear something transitional between the water and land was perfect for this trip. The adjustable velcro band stayed fully functional and is still as strong as new. These are by far the best sandals I've ever had." —Jackie Beauvaise

Promising review: "It’s lovely. They call it a cover-up, but I wore it with dress pants and a white shell top. I received several compliments. I have purchased a few more in different colors. Nice and long. Comfortable. Seems durable so far. Don’t wear it for warmth though — it might protect from sun or a slight breeze, but it is more for looks than warmth." —MAC

Get it from Amazon for$14.99+ (available in sizes S–5X and 48 styles). 

10. A pair of faux-leather pull-on shorts to finally dispel anyone of the notion that you can't live on the edge *and* live in pure comfort at the same time. These shorts! Contain! Multitudes!!! 

www.amazon.com, Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "Hi, I have these and can't recommend them more!! That's me on the right above — as you can see, I wore them as part of my Reputation-inspired outfit for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour, but I've worn them several other times, with and without tights, and absolutely love them. As a pear-shaped individual, I love that they comfortably cover my bottom while still hugging me at the waist thanks to the stretchy elastic there, aka no awful gapping. As other reviewers mention, these have a thickness to them that makes them feel high quality. In the summer, I do sweat in these a little at the waist, which is to be expected, but the wide-leg design helps keep everything else breezy. I can't wait to wear these in the fall and winter with thicker tights! Oh, and the pockets are nice and deep!"

Promising review: "I was so surprised when I received these shorts. They are such good quality. They have weight to them, making them feel expensive. I feel like I would buy these from Zara. Super cute and exactly what I was looking for!" —Jaimelee Calvello

Get them from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in six colors — not all colors available in all sizes).

11. A pair of ridiculously comfortable pull-on Levi's jeans for anyone who wants a go-to basic that'll work with just about any T-shirt in your closet. These are so comfy and easy to put on that they'll make you want to throw your regular jeans out the window.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These jeggings are great! They’re super cute, soft, and fit really well. I didn’t realize they were going to be 'waist cinching' or whatever (I didn’t read the description as I just saw them on TikTok and ordered), so they are right and kind of difficult to get on, but once I got them on, they were snug and actually really comfortable! Probably going to order another pair!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $28.31+ (available in sizes 2–28, three inseams, and 20 colors).

12. An affordable, Lululemon-esque longline sports braso comfy, supportive, and versatile that reviewers love it both for outdoor workouts, gym use, *and* errand running. This is designed to be supportive without being too compressive, with lightweight fabric that keeps you breezy in the heat.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I never leave reviews but this skirt is everything. Comfy, stretchy, so so cute. I'm normally a large and I got a large which fits perfectly. With the stretchy material I would guess it's pretty easy to size up or down based on the fit you want." —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 19 colors).

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I could not love this outfit more! I bought it for vacation and it was perfect! You can wear it with the included slip for a dress or wear without the slip for a swimsuit coverup.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "Wow! Amazing quality for this price point. True to size. I don't find you really need to wear a cami underneath. Also it's not too tight, so you can easily wear it as a vest over a dress or as a shirt to switch up a look. I came back to buy in several colors." —Lee Lee

Get it from Amazon for$21.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 12 styles).

19. A square-necklettuce trim "going out" topthat a lot of reviewers compare to an expensive mall brand, but muuuuch more affordable. And thank goodness, because once you fall for its comfy stretch and effortless cool, you're going to want it in WAY more colors. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "Lovely top, the stretch is just right and not super duper spandex like some stretchy things. Getting it on and off was a cinch. The fabric is a nice weight, somewhere between heavy and lightweight. I liked that my bra was hidden by the straps and didn't stick out anywhere, and, it isn't too short — it doesn't show belly. It will be a sweet addition to my summer wardrobe! Highly recommend." —merkie moo

24. An oversize button-down shirt that is about to become the MVP of your entire closet (that is, if it ever makes it off your body in the first place).

Big Dart is a small business that specializes in fashion-forward button-down shirts. 

Promising review: "I am randomly and surprisingly obsessed with this shirt! I didn’t expect it to fit or feel good because it’s from Amazon. But this shirt is truly fantastic. The oversized style is just right, so even if you buy your size, you’re not swimming in it. The fabric is very lightweight with a crisp hand but still feels great on your skin. And it’s also not see-through like most white shirts. It’s a great shirt on its own or as a light coverup. Can’t recommend it enough. I love it so much I just bought the brown version!" —Amanda
