I have been a BuzzFeed Shopping contributor since 2022.

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

1. A drawstring romper with a casual-meets-comfort design. It's baggy enough to wear on those early summer days when it's over 75 degrees outside and you *don't* want your clothes to touch you, Plus, the drawstring waist adds a little cinching.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Nice romper, comfortable and cute! I ordered a size up because I like a looser fit, and it is perfect. It'll be great for wearing around the pool or out and about; it dresses up or down perfectly. The fabric is soft and lightweight. Love it, definitely going to get another color." —K H

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

2. Abreezy cotton top, because the clue's in the name. The puffy sleeves and scoop neck make it look a little dressier, and the oversize fit amps up the comfort factor.

Banana Republic

Promising review: "A very beautiful, stylish, comfortable blouse. The fit is flowing but the color gorgeous. A piece that you can style casual or professional." —anonymous

Get it from Banana Republic for $90 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and three colors).

3. An absolutely perfect slip dress you'll want to ~slip~ into time and time again, especially when you absolutely do NOT want to slip *out* of bed. Reviewers literally compare it to the comfort of pajamas. 👀

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are super cute, everyday or lounge around the house dresses. It's super comfy, and it flows! Would repurchase." —crissy

Get it from Amazon for $19.24 (available in sizes XL–5XL and eight colors).

4. A cotton gauze denim skirt, because who knew denim could be so darn comfy? The stretchy smocked-waist and flicky thigh-skimming skirt will ~move~ with your body, and the built-in shorts will stop any dreaded thigh chafing.

Gap

Promising review: "This is such a cute and comfortable skort!" —Janet O.

Get it from Gap for$47+ (originally $59.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL, including petite fits, and four colors/patterns).

5. A boxy cotton tee, since you can never have enough basic T-shirts. The best base layer for any look, this tee is soft to the touch and has a slightly cropped fit. 

Anthropologie

Promising review: "Love this basic not-so-basic T-shirt so much I purchased three. They are a perfect length and comfortable enough to sleep in, too. Getting compliments while wearing the blue bee T-shirt. Just get. You won’t be sorry. Planning on getting more." —Lake23

Get it from Anthropologie for $38+ (available in sizes XXS–3X, select petite fits, and 15 colors/prints).

6. A muslin two-piece shorts and button-down set so versatile, you can wear the pieces together or separately. The long-sleeve design provides just enough coverage before we get into summer mode, and you can always roll 'em up if it does get mega warm out. Made from a light and airy material, reviewers love this set for traveling. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So cute, so comfy, washes and dries well, and most importantly, 100% cotton!"—Emily

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 23 colors).

7. Amini slip dress with lace detailing and a deep V-neck for an eye-catching number that will earn you compliments from both friends and strangers all summer long. 

Free People

Promising review: "This dress is really comfy and lightweight. It feels like a slip, but more flowy. It does run large. Normally an XS, but it is quite roomy. Feels like the shoulders will fall easily." —Free People Reviewer

Get it from Free People for$118(available in sizes XS–XL and 13 colors).

8. A stunningcinched waist topif you're sick of just wearing the same boxy tees day in, day out. This beaut will add a little ~je ne sais quoi~ to your everyday wardrobe, but it'll look extra special worn with your fave wide-leg jeans and some sandals.  

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This top looks sexy, and it’s comfortable, cool, and very stylish." —Flirtallya

Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 14 colors/patterns).

9. A pair of high-rise wide-leg jeans that will, in the words of Taylor Swift, never go out of style. In a light wash, they're essentially a modern-day upgrade on that one pair you loved so much in the aughts — they're high-rise instead of low-rise!

Loft

Psst: Some reviewers say they run quite large and recommend sizing down.

Promising review: "These jeans are so comfortable, and I’ve received tons of compliments!" —Eevie

Price: $49.97 (originally $99.95; available in sizes 24–34, including petite and tall fits)

10. A scoop-back tank bodysuit so versatile, you'll never run out of ways to wear it. Team it with jeans and sneakers, layer it under a skirt and pair it with heels, style it with shorts and sandals... The list goes on.

Good American

Promising review: "So comfy. Sucks you in but comfortable. Wore it all day and night. Worth the hype and the money." —Lynn O.

Get it from Good American for $46.99+ (originally $79; available in sizes XS–5XL and four colors).

11. A pair of cotton twill khaki shorts for throwing on whenever you want to get your legs out, but still have decent coverage. They're also made from a stretchy material, so you can stay comfortable while watching a game or going to a concert.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Perfect fit! It is half the price of the ones I usually buy from Land's End. Their deep pockets and the back pocket are not sewn shut. Nice length for me. Not too short or too long. I bought them in four different colors." —LeighAnn

"These are the most comfortable shorts for working ever. They fit great, and the size was perfect! The fabric is thick, so it doesn’t feel cheap. Great quality. I want to buy more for work." —Ambs

Get them from Amazon for $14.80+ (available in sizes 0–20, curvy and straight fits, and eight colors).

12. A tiered one-shoulder minidress practically made for those who love a beachy, boho feel wherever they go (but ideally the beach, obv).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Loved this dress! Fits well. True to size. Very comfy. Good value for the money. Nice pink color. Solid material." —LaTonya

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 10 colors).

13. A ribbed tank top that *looks* super basic but will earn you a ton of compliments thanks to its cute colors and ability to match basically any pair of pants.

Target

Promising review: "This tank top is comfortable and keeps me cool. I like that it's a bit longer." —Moxcutter

Get it from Target for $8 (available in sizes XS–4X and seven colors/patterns).

14. A 100% washable silk slip dress you'll actually want ON your body time and time again. The silky material adds a touch of refined luxury to your wardrobe, but you won't have to worry about trekking to the dry cleaners every time you need to give it a refresh  — simply toss it on a cold cycle in your washing machine.

Quince

Promising review: "Love love love this slip dress. Fits great with adjustable straps. The silk just floats on your body, skimming and not clinging." —Shiobahn

Get it from Quince for $99.90 (available in sizes 1X–3X in six colors) or $89.90 (available in sizes XS–XL in 12 colors).

15. A pair of comfylinen elastic-waist shorts, because jean shorts are great and all, but the summer weather calls for something more lightweight. Team them with a tank on vacay or wear them with a blouse while you're WFH.

J. Crew

Promising review: "I've purchased these linen shorts in several colors. My favorite is the vibrant California poppy! Nice wide elastic waistband and a great length. Very comfortable." —ka93

Get them from J. Crew for $55.50+ (originally $79.50+; available in sizes XXS–3X and 13 colors/patterns).

16. An oversize linen-blend dress, because you've been standing in line at the stuffy post office for what feels like a lifetime, but this dress will keep you cool, calm, and collected.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This dress looks just like it does in the picture. It's slightly sheer, but you can't see through it really, and it adds to the coolness. Very lightweight and perfect for super-hot weather. We are going to a family reunion in American Samoa, and it will be perfect for the weather. It is not stretchy at all, but it is not form-fitting either. It is a little boxy, but it's kind of bohemian and cute. I really like it." —Jade Y

Get it from Amazon for $30.95+ (available in sizes S–3XL and nine colors).

17. Some ankle-grazing high-waisted leggings that are buttery-soft to the touch and are smooth, breathable, and will ensure you're the best dressed both in and out of the gym. There's a hidden pocket big enough for your cell phone so you can go purse-free, too. 

Old Navy

Promising review: "Buttery soft leggings with the right amount of compression! Repurchased in several colors!" —anonymous

Get them from Old Navy for $27.99 (originally $39.99; available in sizes XS–4X, including tall and petite fits, and seven colors).

18. A crisscross halter-neck top, because Y2K called and says it's back. The built-in bra cuts out the need to find the ideal strapless support to pair it with (although if you're in the market for one, may I point you in the direction of our favorites?), and simply the name  — "going-out top"  — will have you calling up your besties on your swivel cellphone to plan a night out. 

OGL

Promising reviews: "An open back without bra stress! The open back would normally make me hesitate, but the built-in padding solved the bra issue. I am a 34B and felt comfortable for dinner." —M.F.

"The lyocell jersey fabric feels cool and smooth, not scratchy at all. It has enough stretch that the halter shape is comfortable when I sit and move." —J.S.

Get it from OGL for $45 (available in sizes XS–2XL and seven colors).

19. A zip-up hoodie you can throw on when you feel a little chilly or want to get settled in your fave comfies for yet another rewatch of the Pitch Perfect trilogy. It me... 😏

Gap

Promising review: "Best hoodies ever. So fluffy, stretchy, comfy, and adorable. ☺️" —Sophia HA

Get it from Gap Factory for $34.99+ (originally $69.99; available in sizes XXS–XXL and 20 colors).

20. Ashirtdress so you can feel like the ultimate boss babe at every moment. The striped detailing is a fun touch, and the crossover waist shows you mean ~business.~

Land's End

Promising review: "Amazing, comfortable, and very modern. I wish they had it in more colors. Also, a good length for a 5'5" gal." —Chris

Get it from Lands' End for$89.99 (originally $99.95; available in sizes XS–XL and in solid black).

21. A French terry polo top that will usher in a sporty vibe to your everyday wardrobe. I don't know about you, but anytime I even *read* the word "polo," my mind automatically goes to that one episode in Gossip Girl season 3 with the charity polo match. So if you're not into sports per se, wearing this top while watching GG reruns is the next best thing.

Lane Bryant

Promising review: "This is one of the best little tops I've ever bought from LB, and I have been shopping here for 30+ years. Soft! Washes and dries wonderfully! I want to live in it, with its matching shorts. It has good coverage but isn't hot. Very breathable. I can't say enough about how happy I am with this purchase." —Candoteri64

Get it from Lane Bryant for $38.46 (originally $54.95; available in sizes 10/12–26/28 and in rouge).

22. A patterned spaghetti strap midi dress for a fun and flirty finish to your vacay wardrobe. Thank goodness you can get it in a ton of colors, because you'll be wanting to wear it every night. After all, a few shoppers said it gives off Greece vibes, and you *are* heading to Crete next month. Oh... You're not? Well, this is your excuse to book a flight.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Beautiful dress! I bought this to wear on our Jamaican vacation, but I have since worn it several times. The fabric is not clingy and feels like linen — perfect for summer but not too thin. The upper bodice on the top of the dress is a smocked, stretchy material that fully covers my 38DD chest. I got a large, but it could’ve been sized down even further, since it’s very full-coverage. It is quite long, but I’m 5’3", and it hits just at the tips of my feet. You do need a strapless bra for this one, but it’s worth it! Have washed it on the delicate cycle three times and let it air dry, and it comes out perfect without having to iron. It’s hard for me to find dresses that fit correctly with a large chest and broad shoulders, and this one does the trick wonderfully! 10/10!" —AmyB

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 22 colors).

23. A stunning, slightly croppedboatneck topmade from a cotton-modal fabric designed to be soft and comforting. Style it with a pair of jeans to make your casual outfit ~dressier~.

Abercrombie

Promising reviews: "My favorite to wear to work! So comfortable and lightweight. I can wear it with anything. I bought it in every color!" —Aly

"This top fits so well. I’m three weeks postpartum, so I’m carrying some extra weight in my arms and midsection, and this top makes me feel so comfortable and confident!" —RB

Get it from Abercrombie for $45 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in five colors).

24. A chiffon tiered maxi skirt for those days you're unsure of the vibe but want to wear something that you can easily dress up, in case your mid-morning brunch plans escalate and turn into afternoon cocktails at the swanky bar across the street.

Torrid

Promising review: "The skirt is super comfortable and chic. It is also very versatile in any weather. I was very excited to wear it as it's one of the first pieces I got from Torrid. Also brings out my eyes." —Kapow8

Get it from Torrid for $42.24+ (originally $79.90; available in sizes M–6X and three colors/patterns).

25. Lululemon's beloved jersey training tank top if you've been looking for the ideal piece for your morning jogs or during arm day at the gym. Goodness knows you've spent so much time perfecting your bicep curls and tricep extensions, so why not show them off?

Lululemon

Promising reviews: "The cut and the feel of these tanks are so great. I love them for training, especially on warm summer days. They hang nicely, and the colors are great!" —Vanessa M

"Comfortable! This tank is light and airy, but with a good-quality material that feels like it will last." —Lululemon Shopper

Get it from Lululemon for $48 (available in sizes 0–14 and six colors). 

26. And a pair of bike shorts that will be one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you own, whether you wear them for a cycling workout or not. They'll look and feel great in the gym, but will also allow you to show off your best model off-duty look when you pair them with a sweater and chunky sneakers.

Gap

Promising review: "I feel like I have tried one million different brands and styles of biker shorts, and these are by far the very best I have ever worn. They are so comfortable, which says a lot considering so many of them are not comfortable, especially around the waist. They move with you and feel close to nothing against your skin. I love having the pockets." —Anonymous

Get them from Nordstrom for $48 (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors).

27. A pair of bootcut track pants to elevate your lazy day outfits. This pair is comfy enough to be worn around the house but stylish enough for when last-minute plans arise.

Madewell

Promising review: "Great track pants, especially for traveling. Comfortable and good quality." —DH24

Get them from Madewell for $84.99+ (originally $118; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in black). 

28. A baby doll bow dress so cute, you'll be begging your friends to make more summer plans just so you can wear it. It looks like something you'd buy from a high-end boutique without the boutique price tag. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: " This dress is so comfy! The fit is great, and it's not see-through at all, which is always a win. It has a nice, thick material to it, but it's not overly hot at all. Making it ideal for a summer wedding dress. The fabric makes it easy to clean, which is a huge win! It's very true to size." —SERE

Get it from Amazon for $36.99(available in sizes XS–L and seven colors).

29. A vantage skort, because a miniskirt might not seem like a great travel day option, but a skort on the other hand...chef's kiss. Wear this on the way to your London getaway for a game, set, match 'fit that is worthy of showing off courtside at Wimbledon.

REI

Promising review: "Super comfortable waist, nice length, medium fits as expected, great color." —RunnaB

Get it from REI for$75 (available in sizes XS–L).

30. An oversize faux-leather jacket, because a faux-leather jacket is *the* way to instantly bring a cool edge to your OOTD. Layer it over a summer blouse or tank top if the temp is a little cooler than usual. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for. It's perfectly oversize, soft, and good quality for the price. It zips great and isn't too heavy. You can wear this in so many ways, but my favorite is with a short skirt or dress! Very versatile and comfortable." —Erin O'Connell

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 12 colors).

31. And finally, a pair of high-waisted jeggings if you appreciate the look of jeans but would rather be wearing leggings 24/7. These are, in the words of the icon and legend, Hannah Montana, the best of both worlds.

Walmart

Promising review: "Comfy and great looking! Stretch comfort with the look of denim. I'm only 5'1”, and thick around the middle, so I got a large. They're a bit long, but I just put the extra at the ankles for a slouchy look. Depending on the top and shoes you wear them with, they can look casual or dressy. Love ‘em!!" —Tricia123

Get them from Walmart for $20.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and five colors).
