I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

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

1. A simple tank from Reformation perfect for layering and wearing on its own. Toss on some jean shorts, a skirt, or your fave jeans. This is the perfect blank canvas for your bottoms and gorgeous accessories. 

Shopbop

Get it from Shopbop for $38 (available in sizes XS–XL).

2. A jean skort that is taking that term literally — from the back no one would even know it's a skirt — it's honestly giving mullet. Something about these is just bringing me back in time to the 2010s... I guess what goes around comes around.

Levi's

Promising review: "Super cute and comfortable! The fit is perfect, the quality is excellent." —Ivy

Get it from Levi's for $39.98 (originally $64.95; available in sizes 23–34 and two colors).

3. A fleece half-zip you'll find yourself tossing on before heading to Target, leaving the gym, or just going out for a casual dinner.

Old Navy

Promising review: "Seriously, the most comfortable sweatshirt I have ever, and maybe ever, will ever own." —Lexie P.

Get it from Old Navy for $32+ (originally $49.99+; available in sizes XS–4X, petite and tall sizes, and 10 colors).

4. A pair of straight-leg crop jeans, which are generally a standard in people's closets for a reason — you can wear them with pretty much anything and anywhere.

Gap

Promising review: "After years of living in skinny jeans, I wasn't sure a baggier style was for me — but these completely changed my mind. They have that effortless French-girl vibe I love: timeless, chic, and current without trying too hard. The denim is lighter weight than traditional jeans, with just enough stretch to make them incredibly comfortable from day one. The fit is slim through the hip and thigh, giving a modern silhouette without the oversize, baggy look that doesn't work for me. I especially love them with ballet flats, though they look equally polished with a slingback pump. A beautifully designed jean that feels both classic and fresh." —C

Get them from Gap for $53+ (originally $89.95; available in sizes 24–35, short, regular, and long inseams, tall and petite sizes, and 10 colors).

5. An asymmetrical tube top with a sneaky little slit down the side and a fun textured knit material. You can easily pair this with jeans for a dinner date or with a cute mini skirt to hit the clubs.

Urban Outfitters

Promising review: "This looked so cute on my daughter. The fit is great and the slit on the side is a nice length. Love the texture of the fabric and not too thin." —Betjoy

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $19 (originally $29; available in sizes XXS–XL and seven colors).

6. A basic cotton T-shirt, which may just be the definition of versatile. This simple piece is the perfect base for any outfit. You can style it by tucking it in, doing a half tuck, rolling the sleeves, or layering it with other pieces.

Uniqlo

Promising review: "Best basic I've bought in years. Supima is one of the best cottons in the world, and Uniqlo turned it into an incredibly soft, cool, breathable shirt. The quality feels designer-level but costs a fraction of the price. Looks and feels brand new even after washing. Unbeatable for the price, already bought more colors." —macada

Get it from Uniqlo for $24.90 (available in men's sizes XXS–3XL and 11 colors).

7. A pair of fleece shorts perfect for lounging around the house, wearing to arm day at the gym, or throwing on before running errands. 

Aerie

Promising review: "These are the comfiest sweat shorts that are cut in a way that makes them look elevated and easy to throw on for a trip to the store or lounging around the house. I bought a large. I have the matching crew neck. Going to get these sets in many colors." —Comfortqueen

Get it from Aerie for $20 (originally $34.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL and nine colors).

8. A pair of shortalls that are honestly such a vibe for your grocery runs or chasing your kiddo around the park. The best part? It's a whole outfit in one, so you don't have to think about putting something matching together. 

Free People

Promising review: "I love overalls. I have several pairs of short-alls too. This romper is loose-fitting, but I don’t find it too loose in all the wrong places. Washes well. I couldn’t decide which color, so I opted for the denim. Now I want other colors. The cuffs are stitched at the hem, and if you’re a stickler for structured cuffs that are always uniform, this will require ironing around the cuffs." —dwilson

Get them from Free People for $88 (available in sizes XS–XL and nine colors).

9. A fleece midi skirt, which is the fabric of your fave sweatpants with the sophistication of a skirt. If you wanna be comfy while you run your errands but feel like you should give your sweats a rest, this is the best option for you.

Target

Promising review: "It’s the perfect casual skirt. You can size down. The fabric is super thick and beefy. This is the skirt version of my hubby’s favorite grey sweats. I bought with a bodysuit and can’t wait to wear this." —Ballersboo

Get it from Target for $30 (available in sizes 1X–4X).

10. A reversible V-neck shirt with gorgeous lace detailing around the neckline. You can toss a blazer on over it to head to work and then take it off when you go out to dinner with your friends right after. 

Nordstrom Rack

Get it from Nordstrom Rack for $34.97 (originally $68; available in sizes S–L and two colors).

11. Some wide-leg pants perfect for a business-casual look that can still ~work~ for you even after your nine-to-five.

Nordstrom

Promising review: "These have become a new favorite go-to work pant! They’re super comfortable, and have a little stretch to them but still hug in all the right places." —sjjjjoooooxxxx

Get them from Nordstrom for $88 (available in sizes 00–18 and petite sizes).

12. A tank with built-in bra...which feels like it's enough to say...no bra but still getting the support?! Heck yes!! Add a few to your cart. You can toss this on under a sweater on colder days or wear with some jean shorts when it's warmer. 

Torrid

Promising review: "The inner bra fits great and cannot be seen through the tank top. White tank top is not see through. Love this and plan to wear it all the time!" —Ml32567

Get it from Torrid for $15+ (originally $27.90; available in sizes M/10–6X/30 and 10 colors).

13. A tie-strap dress that takes a more basic style but elevates it with gorgeous bows on the shoulders. You can dress it up with some heels or keep it a little more casual with sneakers or sandals.

Nordstrom

Get it from Nordstrom for $112.50 (originally $150; available in XS–L).

14. A scoop-neck mini dress you can wear with sneakers to your Sunday brunch or throw on with some heels for dinner with your partner. Accessorize how you want and *bam* you've got your new fave outfit.

Banana Republic

Promising review: "This linen dress is fabulous and stylish and comfortable and pretty!! I got two, one in red and the other in navy paisley. I look like a happy and confident woman wearing this design and cut of dress. Very satisfied with this dress!!" —Yolande B.

Get it from Banana Republic for $79.97 (originally $160; available in sizes XXS–XXL, tall sizes, and three colors).

15. A reversible tank that is going to be your new favorite staple. With either a scoop or high neck, you'll be able to fit whatever vibe you're looking for.

Free People

Promising review: "So good. Looks adorable and intentionally worn both ways! I loved it so much, I have it in three colors now. It stretches out a little after a few wears, but I don’t mind. Makes it look more effortless." —anonymous

Get it from Free People for $38 (available in sizes XS–XL and 15 colors).

16. A rollneck, ~reversible~ cardigan with buttons that can go up the front or back. And that's not the only option, you can decide how many buttons you wanna have done cause that choice is veeerryyy important and can change the whole style of your outfit.

J. Crew

Get it from J. Crew for $118+ (available in sizes XXS–3X and five colors).

17. A pair of flare pants perfect for days in the office or fancy dinner parties. Which means you won't even have to bring a change of clothes for after work cause you'll already be ready to go!

Eloquii

Promising review: "If I could, I would give these pants 6 stars. They have an expensive look to them, with the stitched crease. These slacks are good for casual wear or a nice evening out on the town with an elegant top or a tailored jacket. A stretch and move with you. I love the quality of the material and the craftsmanship of the stitching." —Ebony

Get them from Eloquii for $89.95 (available in sizes 14–32).

18. A linen romper with a deep V-neck, flutter sleeves, and a smocked waistline. The perfect outfit with zero thought required that you can dress up or down — what more could you want?

Anthropologie

Promising review: "I was hesitant at first because I thought the sleeves would be too puffy, but they aren’t! They balance out the low cut front and wide legs, so it’s super cute and gives you a nice waistline." —SandiV

Get it from Anthropologie for $89.95 (originally $148; available in sizes XXS–XL and two colors).

19. A button-up shirt with precious ruffle detailing on the neckline and sleeves annnd eyelet cutouts throughout. This is giving picnic in the park, brunch with friends, and cozy dinner all at once.

Madewell

Promising review: "Saw it at the store and so glad I tried it on. Perfect top for year round use. It’s flowy, and the length is perfect. Color is beautiful." —Mp57

Get it from Madewell for $88 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and four colors).

20. Some black shorts, which will likely be one of the most versatile pieces in your closet. You can truly pair these with any shirt, any shoes, and any accessories. Honestly, I bet you could come up with a completely unique way to wear these every day of the week.

Petal & Pup

Promising review: "These shorts are so cute, the shape of the leg is great, and they fit perfectly, with a bit of stretch!" —Leila V.

Get them from Petal & Pup for $78 (available in sizes 24–32).

21. A V-neck shirt you can wear all day for work with your favorite pair of trousers or paired with a mini skirt or jeans when you've clocked out for the day.

Boden

Promising review: "A classic simple tee shirt very useful for different occasions, which always looks good." —Helen

Get it from Boden for $45 (available in sizes 0–22 and six colors).

22. An Anne Klein bateau-neck blouse perfect for any occasion, from work to date night to hanging out with friends.

Macy's

Promising review: "I needed a blouse for a quinceañera at the last minute. I almost gave up, and there it was, hanging there, the last one. It was a size up from what I wear, but I got it anyway. It was the perfect amount of elegance and not too dressy. I was comfortable all night, and now I have a wardrobe piece that can go with a blazer or sweater and jeans. I love the Anne Klein label; it never disappoints. My blouse is the black and gold polka dots. It matched great with a pair of black slacks." —Teresa

Get it from Macy's for $79 (available in sizes 0X–3X and three patterns).

23. Some pull-on jeans, which combine the look of jeans without the horribly uncomfortable, stiff sensation that comes from most standard pairs. Since they are comfy as heck, you'll find yourself gravitating toward these instead of your trusty pair of sweats that used to be your go-tos.

Bloomchic

Promising review: "Love. Comfy jean you can dress up or down." —B**y

Get them from Bloomchic for $39.90 (available in sizes 10/M–30/6X).

24. A cashmere sweater so soft and cozy, you'll find yourself wearing it constantly. Wear it as a layering piece or on its own, but trust me, you'll be wearing it allll the time.

Bloomingdale's

Promising review: "It’s a versatile cardigan to wear year-round. It’s quite loose, I have bought medium, next time I will go for small. I own some other cardigans of the same brand." —Dublin

Get it from Bloomingdale's for $150.40 (originally $188; available in sizes XXS–XXL and nine colors).

25. A drape maxi dress you can wear to that wedding you've been desperately trying to find something for. But unlike most wedding dresses, this won't be a one-and-done; it's just the perfect level of fancy and flirty that you can wear it again on date nights or a GNO to the club.

City Chic

Promising review: "I love, love, love my new dress! I already have it in emerald green, but as soon as I saw the heavenly pink one, I knew I had to have it. I don’t even have anywhere to wear it yet, but I’ll think of somewhere!" —Candy

Get it from City Chic for $119.99 (originally $199.99; available in sizes 10–26 and six colors).

26. A V-neck top perfect for your workwear rotation that can still be stylish as heck when you wanna wear it on the weekend too. Go from slacks to jeans or a skirt and watch your whole vibe switch without ever changing your shirt.

Ann Taylor

Promising review: "This top has very soft fabric and lies beautifully. Doesn't wrinkle easily and looks really nice on. It will go with jeans, pants, and shorts. Very glad I purchased it and will probably order other colors." —Anonymous

Get it from Ann Taylor for $17.44+ (originally $34.88+; available in sizes XXS–XXL, petite sizes, and 10 colors).
