I am a freelancer who has contributed to BuzzFeed Shopping since 2024 while living in a tiny New York City apartment where I write about camping gear, clothing, furniture, and home decor items that are truly worth their footprint.

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

1. A scoop-neck dress that will allow for a little more sway, a little more twirl, and a lot more ease as you go about your day. The pockets allow for practical stashing, so there's no need to rely on your claw grip (unless you just want to show it off)!

Walmart

Promising review: "I got this dress to wear for my first trip ever going to NY. It fits perfectly on me. Almost like it was made just for me. I got purple, and I'll be wearing a jean jacket over it and some knee-high boots. I would love this dress in every single color. Bonus...it has pockets too.😍" —Christy

Price: $14.85 (originally $26.99, available in sizes 1X–5X and 20 colors)

2. A linen-blend slip skirt with a side slit and a touch of elastication at the back, so that nothing shortens your stride or cramps your comfort as you walk. There are even side-seam pockets. New apartment viewing, ice cream shop date, or book club, here you come.

Walmart

Promising review: "Very good basic skirt. I purchased this skirt in both black and beige sizes L (12–14), 5' 2", 170 lbs. The fabric is a linen blend. 80 Rayon/ 20 Linen. It's a good medium-weight, softer than most pure linen. The skirt has pockets that are close to the body and do not add bulk at the hips. They have an elastic waistband at the back. The skirt is about 2–4 inches above my ankle at 5'2". You can pull it up higher or pull it down on your hips. It's a comfortable pencil skirt! It has a kick pleat at the side, which goes up about 10 inches, so you can walk with ease, but not so high that anything shows. It's modest yet stylish. I'm really pleased with my purchase. It will wrinkle because of the linen content. Haven't washed it yet." —anonymous

Price: $18.98 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and four colors)

3. A T-shirt dress that is perfect for picnics, coffee dates, and running errands. It has pockets. She cannot be stopped! She is too comfortable!

Walmart

Promising review: "Very comfortable, fabric is not too heavy, and it looks and feels great. I ordered seven different colors." —connie

Price: $14.96 (originally $26.99, available in sizes 1X–5X and 14 colors)

4. A cotton maxi skirtwith a smocked waist, with two side-seam pockets so roomy that you'll wonder if you can just ditch your purse. The skirt is 100% cotton for breathable, multi-season outfits, but it would pair great with open-weave ballet flats while summer is still here.

Walmart

Promising review: "I've tried other skirts with a multi-gathered waistband, and they look awful. I am so pleased this one stood out from the crowd and did not disappoint. I am 5'2” and for once I don't have to hem. Perfect and the slit on the side is just the right touch." —Flogoes

Price: $19.50 (available in sizes XS–4X)

5. A maxi dress with short sleeves, pockets, a subtle scoop neck, and a floor-skimming skirt. If you find yourself watching a Pride and Prejudice film adaptation this weekend and want to go a tiny bit Regency-core with your outfit, this dress channels your inner Lizzie Bennet without the confining corsetry, patriarchy, or inheritance drama.

Walmart

Promising review: "Perfect! This dress is so cute! I get compliments whenever I wear it. It washes well and doesn't shrink in the dryer. If I had to come up with something negative to say about the dress, I would say it's a little long, but I don't mind the length. I'm 5'8", and with shoes on, it goes to the floor. I think everything about this dress is perfect! I chose the cherry blossom print." —Jackie

Price: $17.99 (originally $18.78, available in sizes S–4XL and 24 colors)

6. A button-down denim dress that is short-sleeve and has four pockets. Whether you're spending all day at a music festival or thirty minutes popping out for a matcha, a denim dress lets the world know you are Pulled Together, but you didn't have to try hard at all.

Walmart

Promising review: "Adorable! Super cute little dress! I'm very tall, so I wear a '90s look and wear the short knee-length leggings underneath! Haha...love love the dress! Very cute, comfy dress to wear anywhere! I get a compliment on the dress wherever I go!" —Debbie

Price: $35.79 (available in sizes XS–2XL and four colors)

7. A fluttery, not-too-mini skirt with an elastic waist that inspires you to live your cottagecore daydreams: pick up fresh strawberries and a picnic blanket so that this skirt can adorn your relaxed outdoor day.

Walmart

Promising review: "Ultimate summer skirt, so chic and flowy. Rave reviews about this skirt! It's so feminine and has lots of twirl to it. Plenty of room to stretch. I love the beige look to pair with any top. The waistband has tons of stretch, and the ties are a cute addition. The length is great and isn't going to expose me in any way when I'm wearing it out and about. It's a chic look for the right price. Check out their cute patterned options as well!" —Gefshow

Price: $14.99 (available in sizes S–2XL and eight colors)

8. A fit-and-flare square-neck sundress to wear on your next pool or beach trip. The slight gathering on the straps adds a little bit of interest and texture on what, with capacious pockets, might already be the perfect casual frock.

Walmart

Promising review: "Buttery soft and better than expected! LOVE THIS DRESS!! I am 5'9”, 145lbs, and I ordered a small. Immediately tried it on as soon as it arrived, and the overwhelming feeling of excitement quickly followed. It fits better than I expected! The dress falls two to three inches above my knee (if that). I love how the straps are stretchy/soft and don't rub into my shoulders if I need to adjust how it falls on my chest. The fabric is light and airy, but thick enough not to be see-through. The pockets are divine! I love it so much that I already ordered this dress in other colors." —Ari

Price: $14.98 (originally $32.99, available in sizes S–2XL and 12 colors)

9. A scoop-neck, A-line T-shirt dress for those of us who want cuteness, comfort, AND a lil' sleeve for air-conditioned buildings.

Walmart

Promising review: "I got 3 different prints and I love them. The fabric isn't necessarily cool like cotton, but because of the way it flows and doesn't hug the body, it's fine for hot weather. Sooo comfortable and is perfect for lounging, after a swim, or with cute shoes and a necklace can be worn out." —Juanita

Price: $14.88 (originally $26.99, available in sizes 1X–5X and 21 colors)

10. A swishy tiered skirt with a stretchy waist that can dress up with a blazer or down with a T-shirt and sneakers. It's also got pockets for us practical people. Tuck in a lightweight, long-sleeve top for You've Got Mail's Kathleen Kelly vibes.

Walmart

Promising review: "Fit is great. The length is great. The colors are very nice. Skirt is very lightweight but not see-through. Perfect for summer. Got lots of compliments. I have even worn it as a bathing suit cover-up or dressed it up for church." —Lynda

Price: $13.98 (available in sizes S–2XL and 14 colors)

11. A smocked bodice woven midi dress that would be great for situations where you're on the move, and you want to wear something comfortable but a *little* more special than athleisure. If you've ever struggled with a nap dress because the straps demanded highly specific undergarments, this pullover style (with pockets!) solves that problem. 

Walmart

Promising review: "Just do it! Super cute! The top is very forgiving for those with a larger chest, thanks to the stretchy material. Great dress for work, easy to dress up or make casual." —Charissa

Price: $26.98 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors)

12. A knee-length, V-neck, long-sleeve dress, because you need something chic and comfy for slightly chilly days or air-conditioned living rooms. It has pockets, of course, and reviewers love the variety of prints, with many of them sharing that they have purchased it in several colors. Ah, the ease of leaving the cardigan at home.

Walmart

Promising review: "I'm currently pregnant in the heat of Missouri, and I love this dress so much that I bought another in a different color." —AJK

Price: $16.99+ (originally $27.99, available in sizes S–2XL and 15 colors)

13. Or an A-line skirt with an elastic waist and drawstring tie that bumps up the comfort factor even further. Pair it easily with a T-shirt and sandals to wear to your local theatre's outdoor production of The Wizard of Oz. Save your actual effort for setting up folding chairs and finding the popcorn. Find the ticket stub in the capacious pockets when you wear this skirt again two days later.

Walmart

Promising review: "Cute dress skirt, will wear for work. Very comfortable and lightweight, no iron needed." —Karen

Price: $12.56 (available in sizes S–XL and five colors)

14. A 100% cotton dress with cap sleeves that will be your serene antidote to those days when the humidity is just...persistent. It has subtle waist definition and a hem that falls below the knee, so you can relax comfortably on any park bench or picnic blanket with a post-work gelato.

Walmart

Promising review: "Perfect dress for any event. This dress is gorgeous. This was not too long nor too short. I had plenty of room in the stomach area, and the chest was a little tight yet not too much. I have not washed it yet, so I can't speak on that. This could be dressed up or down and worn anywhere for any event, in my opinion." —Walmart customer

Price: $11.49+ (originally $22.98, available in sizes XS–XXXL and three colors)

15. A short-sleeve, knee-length dress with an open half-placket at the neckline, a gathered waist, and a Swiss dot-style overlay. This dress is lined, so that's one less thing to worry about, and the breezy fit makes it one of those dresses you buy for your niece's graduation and then wear all the time.

Walmart

Promising review: "Great material, holds well, and nice design. You can dress it up or down." —Rosario

Price: $35.96+ (originally $70.99, available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors)

16. A stretchy miniskirt with a minimal silhouette and a high waist. If you're most comfortable with the snug support of your bike shorts, but the occasion *technically* calls for a skirt, here's a solution. 

Walmart

Promising review: "It was perfect, true to size, and comfy." —Chynnah

Price: $18.99+(originally $24.99, available in sizes XS–3XL and six colors)

17. A maxi dress with puff sleeves that will call to your inner Anne of Green Gables. The smocked waist allows for extra-comfy movement, while the tiered skirt can pair with sandals, sneakers, or boots, taking you from summer all the way into fall.

Walmart

Promising review: "This dress is very good quality!! Lined, fits nicely, love the color, very comfortable, and it has pockets!! Bonus! Very cute details, I'm going to order another one!!!" —Patricia

Price: $44.99 (originally $70.99, available in sizes S–XXL and 19 colors)

18. An A-line skirt that sits at the high waist and falls just past the knee. I saw a mom in Central Park guiding her three kids around in a dead ringer for this skirt, and it hit me: the flowy, patterned skirt (combined, in her case, with a white top and pink sneakers) is the chic but comfortable mom-style hack we could all use. And it comes in 33 colors!

Walmart

Promising review: "I love the fit! It's a very nice skirt!" —Patricia

Price: $19.99 (originally $22.49, available in sizes S–XL and 33 colors)

19. A tennis dress that earns its spot in a suitcase for being so packable and comfy for travel, but is also great for everyday use and, shocker, actual sports. The collared neckline and quarter-zip is a touch of polish that suggests Blair Waldorf may be joining you for brunch later.

Walmart

Note: The matching shorts are not attached to the dress, and the shorts have two side pockets. 

Promising review: "This tennis outfit is so soft and comfortable. It's just as nice as one from a dedicated sporting goods store, but at a third of the price. I love it!" —elaine

Price: $32.99 (available in sizes S–2XL and six colors)

20. A sporty skirt that has one goal: comfortable movement. This smooth-front style and quick-dry fabric keep the look clean and simple, and the attached shorts have a sizable pocket that can fit a phone, snacks, or extra tennis balls. If you and your pickleball group have busy lives, this might be the new team uniform.

Walmart

Promising review: "Great skirt. This tennis skirt is very cute and fits perfectly. The material is comfortable and stretchy, and the waistband does not roll. It has a slight A-line and would look good on any figure type, perfect for hiking, tennis, Disneyland, or just running errands around town." —Jennifer

Price: $14.99 (originally $26.99, available in sizes S–2XL and six colors)

21. A high-waisted denim skirt with a split back, pockets (of course!), and a little stretch. The silhouette of skirt looks great with a heel AND with a classic sneaker. When you need to be kinda dressed up for a friend's birthday party, but also able to shop (and nimbly snag the last free sample of pretzel bark) at Trader Joe's without changing your whole outfit, this is the skirt for that day.

Walmart

Promising review: "This skirt is a perfect length and fits well. It's comfortable and looks good with sandals or short boots." —June

Price: $40.88 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 16 colors)

22. A textured knit T-shirt dress with contrast-color sleeves that inspires stylish selfies. The pockets get special mention, and the fun colorblock palette makes this dress a catch-'em-all kind of situation, with several reviewers intending to return and purchase more colors.

Walmart

Promising review: "Wasn't sure what to expect from this little dress, but when I saw it online, I decided I'd give it a try. So glad that I did! It's very comfortable, true to size, love the pockets, and can't wait to wear it throughout the summer!" —DR

Price: $17.99 (originally $32.28, available in sizes S–2XL and ten colors)

23. A striped T-shirt dress with a matching belt and short sleeves offers a bit of sweetness in a harsh world. The dress says, "I have made an effort for this museum visit," but the stretchy fabric lets you plunge one arm deep into your backpack to fish out the granola bar that will save us all from your hangry friend's low blood sugar. Or just keep that granola bar in one of this dress's pockets!

Walmart

Promising review: "This dress was exactly what I was looking for. I will order more in other colors. It was comfortable, white, and still professional-looking. This dress is the perfect length, and the tie around the waist is in the perfect place. I wore a pair of canvas-type sneakers, but they can definitely be dressed up with different shoes. It has been very hot and humid where I live, so the light cotton fabric was perfect." —addie

Price: $10.99+ (originally $29.98, available in sizes S–2XL and 14 colors)

24. A skort with a *ruffle* hem, because a mini skirt that lets you walk up stairs, pet that dog, and catch that Frisbee with abandon needs to be in your closet. While not disdaining its cousin, the tennis skirt, this gal is in a class by herself. Sportier skorts walked so that this skort could frolic.

Walmart

Promising review: "Love this skort! It's the perfect blend of cute and functional. It looks like a flirty little skirt, but feels like your favorite comfy shorts. I love how lightweight and breathable the fabric is — perfect for hot days. The double-layer ruffle hem adds a stylish touch without being too much. I've worn it with sneakers for errands and dressed it up with sandals for brunch — it seriously works for everything. So versatile and easy to style, it's quickly become one of my favorite pieces in my closet!" —Kristen

Price: $14.79 (originally $25.99, available in sizes S–2XL and 28 colors)

25. A midi dress with a crew neck and flutter sleeves that gets a teacher's stamp of approval: all-day comfortable, washable, works for three seasons, earns compliments. Check, check, check, check.

Walmart

Promising review: "Cute, easy to style, staple dress. Lightweight fabric, not too precious but super fun print. Held hands with my childhood self by styling with ruffled socks and tennis shoes to teach in; looked cute with a sweater, and also styled with a brown collared sweatshirt for cooler weather seasons. Great price, would consider this a staple, versatile piece in my wardrobe. Fits at different weights." —anonymous

Price: $14.99 (originally $27.99, available in sizes S–2XL and nine colors)

26. A soft, flutter-sleeve dress with a V-neckline, pockets, and juuuust enough structure in the tiered skirt that you *could* leave the house. BUT with an easy pullover construction, it's also the dress equivalent of a giant sigh of relief that it's Saturday.

Walmart

*Note: also displayed with this dress are several colors in a long-sleeve variation*

Promising review: "True to plus-size. The material is lightweight yet not see-through. So cute and comfortable. Not too short for a plus-size tall girl. This would be perfect for something to wear to work or clean the house." —Heath 

Price: $16.98+ (originally $37.78, available in sizes S–2XL and 19 colors)

27. A long V-neck dress with short sleeves because it's a wardrobe must-have, according to shoppers. When you've attended far too many events in outfits where your shapewear *really* mattered, this is the kind of silhouette to lead you gently out of that wilderness.

Walmart

Promising review: "Best dress ever. I absolutely love this dress! The deep navy background creates such an elegant contrast with the bright, vibrant pink flowers. The material is beautifully lightweight and flows perfectly, making it incredibly comfortable to wear all day. I received so many compliments when I wore it to a recent party. It fits true to size, and the fabric doesn't wrinkle easily. Highly recommend!" —Thoressa

Price: $22.75+ (available in sizes L–5XL and 19 colors)
