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

1. A ribbed tank top because versatility is all about great foundations, people. There are so many looks you can build around a sleeveless top, so this will be money *very* well spent.

Target

Promising review: "I love the quality of these tank tops! I have them in a few colors; the cut is super cute and comfortable." —Floridagirl

Price: $4.80 (originally $8; available in sizes XS–4X and eight colors)

2. A pair of high-rise bike shorts that are quick-drying, moisture-wicking, and have a sun-blocking rating of UPF 50+. Those sticky, sunny days were *made* for throwing on a baggy vest top with a pair of these.

Target

Promising review: "Soft and feels like you're wearing nothing. Just hope it doesn’t ball up in the wash. The length is great, and the high waistline doesn’t roll down, and the legs don’t creep up. Next time they go on sale, I’ll get more in different colors." —RutRooWard

Price: $20 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors)

3. A short-sleeve bodysuitfor serving body-ody-ody. Honestly, sometimes tucking in your tee just isn't smooth enough; what can I say? This is giving sleek lines and a second-skin feel thanks to the four-way stretch.

Target

Promising review: "Love this bodysuit! I would say this is a great alternative to the higher-end brands. I’m usually an L, but I got an XL just because I know it’s supposed to fit snugly. I’m a mid-size girly, and I feel great in it. I also love that the butt area is a thong." —Apvong

Price: $16.50 (originally $30; available in sizes L–2X)

4. A smocked maxi dress with a cute-as-heck floral print and breathable cotton-rayon blend, because summer. Wear this to barbecues, weddings, picnics, and SO much more.

Target

Promising review: "So cute! Perfect for daytime or dressing up for date night."—Reilly

Price: $24 (originally $40; available in sizes XS–3X and two colors)

5. A striped shirtdress that's perfect for warm days when you wanna stay cool and comfortable in the office — but still need to look profesh. We're talking breezy cotton, an adjustable waistband, and a silhouette that allows for lots of ventilation. 🥇

Target

Promising review: "I love this dress! Beautiful olive green color and it fits very well! I will be ordering the rust color option as well!"—Anonymous 

Price: $35 (available in sizes XXL–4X and two colors)

6. A black active dress that makes your vow to get good at tennis waaaaay more attainable. Gotta feel like a pro to play like a pro, am I right?! Failing that, it's perf for leisurely walks and running errands, thanks to practical details like a built-in bra and shorts, quick-drying fabric, and a side pocket for stashing your keys.

Target

Promising review: "This active dress is one of the best I’ve tried on! The material is great, the built-in bra does a great job of holding in 38DD girlies, and the built-in shorts have the easy pull-down feature. Overall, a 10/10. I would say this is also true to size." —Eva

Price: $40 (available in sizes XS–XXL and two colors)

7. A halter maxi dress because looking like a Grecian goddess when the forecast says "sunshine" is a vibe that can't be denied. In a solid shade of cream (and also dark brown), this is a classic silhouette that'll never date. 

Target

Promising review: "Love this dress. It’s comfortable. And while not curve-hugging, the shape is forgiving. The material is soft. It is quite long, covering my feet but not dragging on the ground. I’m sure this will get quite a bit of wear over the summer." —Anonymous

Price: $40 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and two colors)

8. A side-twist midi-dress that's good for work, play, and everything in between. The side twist adds a nice pop of interest to an otherwise clean and simple shape, which is just *chef's kiss.*

Price: $27 (originally $45; available in sizes XS–XXL and two colors)

Target

Promising review: "Wore this to work and got so many compliments. Wore it after work to the late-night market, too! Comfy and breathable, and you can wear it for many different occasions. Usually, a medium and bought the medium, fits perfectly. I might buy a second one to have in my closet. More colors, please!!" —Alena

Price: $18 (originally $30; available in sizes XS–4X and two colors)

11. A handkerchief top for looking like a '90s meets Y2K pop princess baddie. It may sound niche, but I promise you this is a piece that will have real staying power, every season.

Price: $30 (available in sizes XS short–4XL long and five colors)

14. A pair of cargo pants with a stripe that manages to make them look that less utilitarian — and more fashun, y'know? Dw though, with roomy pockets and a drawstring waistband, they're still super-duper practical.

Target

Promising review: "Love these! perfect and lightweight for summer. i wish they would make these in solid green or gray too in the same material!!" —Anonymous

Price: $35 (available in sizes XS–4X)

15. A pair of itty bitty Levi's shorts available in like a squillion colors and finishes (OK fine: seven, but still) and ready to be that classic pair of denim you reach for every summer.

Target

Promising review: "Levi’s are actually the only pants/shorts I’ll get from now on. They fit beautifully and make me feel confident. They feel durable, like they’ll last a lifetime. As someone with a small waist, big butt, and thighs, I find that these are the best." —Brooke

Price: $32.99 (originally $54.99; available in sizes 24–34 and seven colors)

16. Or a longer cut of denim shorts if you want a bit more coverage, but still with that timeless and totally effortless look. 

Target

Promising review: "Love these! True to size and perfect Bermuda style that doesn’t look frumpy. Size up one size to get the oversize look, but still look structured. I wear a typical 10 or even an 8 in universal threads, but got a 12, and it’s the perfect oversize fit." —Tgee158

17. A floral maxi skirt that's giving '70s flower child and endless summers at the festival. Are you going to Coachella? Who cares! This beauty is flowy, made from rayon and ready to twirl — even if you're just popping to a dive bar to see your local band.

Target

Promising review: "It’s so comfortable and the perfect length for us short girls! (5’2”)." —Anonymous

Price: $37.99 (originally $50.69; available in sizes XS–XL and nine colors)

18. A high-rise, straight-leg jean that heaps of shoppers have been snapping up recently, so you just know they'll be a versatile option. File these under "everyday staple" and pick up a few colors.

Target

Promising review: "Fits true to size. Not super long, which is something I struggle with being 5’1." They fit like a glove all around and are comfortable. Get compliments on how good they look on me." —Brianna

Price: $28 (available in sizes 00–30 and four colors)

19. Or a wide-leg pair, because hear me out: the low-rise, baggy Y2K cut is very much proving that it's here to stay, and there's So. Much. Room. For. Activities. You might not necessarily be a sk8er girl, but hey: comfort is comfort, right?!

Target

Promising review: "First pair of blue jeans I've worn in 10 years, and I cannot recommend these enough! A little expensive but totally worth it! As a 5'2'' girlie, these are finally a pair of pants I can wear without having to order a super short size or folding up the ends! Perfectly baggy and I haven't stopped wearing these since my purchase!" —Kelly

Price: $22.40 (originally $32; available in sizes 00–30 and three colors)

20. An adorable pleated voile full skirt you can wear to work, to drinks after work, or just in your downtime when you want to feel cute and comfy. It's made from a cotton-rayon blend, so it's perfectly lightweight for summer. Yay.

Target

Promising review: "This skirt is beautiful and fits me perfectly. I just got a compliment on it." —aj

Price: $16 (originally $32; available in sizes 3X–4X)

21. A KBB by Kahlana denim jacket that is *here* to serve looks. That cool boxy fit? The canvas collar? The QUILTED lining? Check. Check. Check. It's one of those future-facing pieces that still manages to feel classic, so I can guarantee you won't tire of it.

Target

Promising review: "So cute, but size down. I'm usually a size 3X on the size chart, but the 1X had plenty of room. This will be so great for late fall/spring because it is lined." —Mo Betta

Price: $65 (available in sizes XXS–4X)

22. A grandpa cardi for throwing on when there's a chill – or wearing on its own with jeans when you want to look chic and #nonchalant. Love that it's made from a mix of recycled fabrics and organic cotton, too.

Target

Promising review: "Great summer sweater!" —Rachel

Price: $55 (available in sizes XXS–4X)

23. A pair of straight-leg, front-pleat trousers that you NEED in both colors for your workwear staples and your "wanna look smart and elevated" staples. You can build dozens of looks around a silhouette like this — which is as versatile as it gets, tbh.

Target

Promising review: "Wore these to an interview and I love them, I will keep wearing them. They are comfortable, and they look dressy. I want to keep shopping at Target now." —Alexa

Price: $35 (available in sizes 2–17 and two colors)

24. A staple white crewneck tee for when you want to look fresh, clean, and classic – whatever the occasion. For the price, this cotton wonder is a no-brainer, plus it comes in other shades.

Target

Promising review: "OK, for $6, compared to SO many brands, these are hands-down, some of the best T-shirts ever. I’ve always tried to look for something with slightly shorter sleeves and also a cut that sits above my hips and not over (I have wide hips, and shirts always ride up and look awkward on me), and that’s also a crewneck. Not going to lie, I have over 20 of these shirts, seven different colors, and many of the same ones in two different sizes because they’re THAT great. If one gets stained or gets a hole in it, I can easily replace it. Favorite product and give it a 5-star rating." —Anonymous

Price: $6(available in sizes XXS–4X and six colors)

25. A cotton-blend jumpsuit that's simple, unfussy, and veeeery comfortable. Brunches, shopping afternoons, days out, chilling at home... you can do it all in this one piece. Plus, add a layered necklace, a bold lip, some cute sandals, and who says you can't wear this to dinner?

Target

Promising review: "Cute jumpsuit for travel. Can change the look by adding a jean jacket, blazer, or cardigan. I purchased the tan, but added a scarf to brighten it up. A better color variety, please." —Savvy shopper

Price: $35 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors)
