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 $6.29+ (available in sizes 2–28, three inseams, and 21 colors).

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this jumpsuit. I don’t even think I’m a jumpsuit person. I could possibly live in this though. I honestly bought it because I’m flying Frontier and I need everything to roll and fit in a backpack. This can be dressed up or down, artsy, or athleisure. If it’s in your cart, just get it." —TSS

Get it from Amazon for$28.49+ (available in sizes S–3X and 32 styles). 

14. A crochet knit sweater vestyou can just as easily pair with denim or a skirt as you can throw it on over a swimsuit as a cover-up. Something tells me this versatile little number is going to spend a LOT of time on the clock this spring and summer! 

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$19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 17 styles).

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 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 15 styles).

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 38 styles). 

17. 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

Promising review: "This dress is beautiful. I love the fabric! It’s lined so it’s not see through, but still lightweight. The gold zipper is stylish and fun.

Promising review: "I’ve been looking for a sturdy, casual pair of white sneakers for a while now, and these fit the bill! I’m a teacher and Mom of two, so I’m constantly moving. I was worried about them getting uncomfortable and dirty quickly, but they are my daily go-to shoes now. They even survived a muddy Easter egg hunt with just some hot water and dish soap. 100% recommend. Added bonus: they go with EVERYTHING!" —Theresa Oliviero

Get it from Amazon for $23.39+ (available in sizes 5–11).

Amazon, www.amazon.com

I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My "I'm not like other girls" bit is that for some reason I am always comfier in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I'm like, "Am I still wearing them??" I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I'll wear leggings, and I'm happy to report after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren't wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too. 

Promising review: "Super comfy. I usually don’t write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for every day and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" —Criselle Johnson

Everlane, Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Hello, I wore this dress on the First Perfect Spring Day in New York and it was truly the dreamiest experience. I was in it for a full 12 hours clocking in 25,000+ sunshine-y steps and this dress kept me cool, comfortable, and feeling oh-so-pretty every step of the way. Many strangers complimented it and for once in my life, I was actually SAD to take off a dress to put my sweatpants on. I can't wait to wear this staple for many springs and summers to come!
