I do love my pair of Lululemon leggings, but I notice that they stretch out and slide down throughout the day. These do not! They are so soft I almost feel like I am wearing nothing, but still feel very ‘athletic’ like they’re holding everything in. When I opened the package, they looked too short at first, but they’re not. They are quite stretchy and comfortable. Highly recommend!!" —Kate "Saw on TikTok, then found on Amazon!!!! Told all my coworkers!!!! 💙 Super soft. Amazing fit." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $32 (available in sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 colors). Promising reviews: "I heard about this dress because of TikTok. It is simple, sexy, and comfortable." —Ynah "I have the Skims bodycon as well, and this is a great alternative! The Skims dress is ribbed, and the fabric is thinner and softer, but I don’t think that the Skims dress quality increases proportionally with the higher price point. If I were to purchase another bodycon dress, it would hands down be this one. It hugs my figure beautifully and can be layered and styled for all seasons. It’s one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe!" —Makayla Curtis Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes XXS–XL and four colors). This TikToker says it's the "softest sweater you'll own in your life." Promising review: "I splurged on Ugg sweaters last year and loved their softness and quality, so I was eager to find something similar. This sweater is a great find! The small fits with a nice oversize look without being too large. The pink color is subtle and adds a nice pop for colder months. Will be buying in another color." —A sly Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 33 colors). Promising review: "I ordered the black in a large. This blazer is PERFECT and doesn’t look cheap. You get what you pay for, trust me. High quality all around. From the silhouette to the sequins, it’s a must for anyone wanting to elevate a basic look. I got a ton of compliments the night I wore it out to a concert." —Annette Get it from Amazon for $74.90+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and seven colors). Promising reviews: "Since I'm 4'10", it is hard to find the right length in any pants! These were perfect. I wore them to a wedding in southern California for an October wedding. It was nice weather, and they were lightweight enough for that. I wore heels about 2.5 inches high, but was able to change into tennis shoes for comfort on the dance floor. They did not drag on the floor!" —Amazon Customer "I am obsessed with these pants! They are so stylish and comfortable. The high waistline accentuates in all the right places. The fabric and general fit and cut of these pants elevate any outfit, and they instantly make you feel so elegant! Can’t wait to order in more colors!" —Amanda Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, in short and long styles, and 28 colors). Promising review: "I bought one color and came back to order more colors! I was afraid that it would be thin and flimsy, but this is a super strong and quality fabric! Definitely my new favorite and looks SO good!! Seriously, got so many compliments. You will not regret it!" —DJF Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 34 colors). Promising review: "This is the perfect two-piece set. The fabric feels premium, the cut is nice and the matching look makes me feel put together even when I’m just relaxing on the couch. It washed well and didn't shrink in the dryer. I’ll definitely be ordering this in more colors!" —javier ramirez Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and 29 color combos). Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one, LOL, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." —Julianne Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in sizes 3XS–4XL and dozens of colors). Promising review: "I found my perfect pair of wide-leg pants with cuffs. These look tailored and on-trend. I love them." —Anne M. Get them from Banana Republic Factory for $60+ (originally $100; available in sizes 24–35 regular with two inseams, 24–32 petite, and six colors/washes). Promising review: "I love these pants! I bought the color Ecru, and it is a perfect light khaki color. Not see-through. Soft. Hits right at the top of my sandals. I washed and dried them normally, and they didn’t shrink. Will be ordering other colors." —Allen family Get it from Amazon for $28.40 (available in sizes XS–6X and 11 styles). Promising review: "I was thinking about buying this sweater for a while…and I'm glad I did!! This sweater is super cozy, and it goes with almost every outfit!" —Madewell Shopper Get it from Madewell for $39.99 (originally $138; available in sizes XXS–XXL and four colors). Promising review: "I love the fit. I am all about comfort these days and just won’t wear it if it isn’t comfortable. These baggy barrel jeans do not disappoint. They fit true to size. I will be ordering another pair, they have several different colors." —Tiffkd Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes 4–18 and 10 colors). Promising review: "The sweater is extremely comfortable and high quality, and the color selections were awesome. I chose the cognac color, which is kind of a taupe-ish brownish color. Bought it to match some khaki boots, and the match was terrific. The pockets are nice. The sweater is roomy. The sleeves are a good length. The thickness is perfect for warmth without being overly bulky. I really like this sweater and will order more colors." —Alana Mohacsi Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 11 styles). Popilush is a small business that specializes in activewear and shapewear. Promising review: "Run to get this! PURCHASE!! I ordered a large—I’m usually an XL — but it fit perfectly. It does not cut off my thighs, so so comfy! No bra needed, will be a staple this summer. It’s not overly thick, but it’s not a cheap material. I’m obsessed!" —Andrea Get it from Amazon for $29.98 (available in sizes XS–XL and eight colors). Promising review: "I don’t normally write reviews, but I am absolutely IN LOVE with these! As someone who works from home, I spend all my time in boxers and tank tops, and I’m really picky when it comes to them. These are perfect!!! Update: I now own these in 7 colors. These are the best tank tops I’ve ever found, and I consider myself a tank top expert. Perfect fit, perfect crop, perfect everything. They hold up well, don’t stretch, and wash well. Could not recommend more! BUY THESE, THEY ARE SO WORTH IT!" —Actual Criminal Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–L and 40 colors). Promising review: "I need to add some tops to my wardrobe, this was a great pick. It's comfortable and very stylish." —Lisa k Get it from Eloquii for $24.99+ (originally $54.95; available in sizes 14–32 and six colors). I have this, and I absolutely love it! It's so soft and is probably my favorite sweater in my closet. It's lightweight but not see-through. Even after washing it, it feels so soft. It looks great tucked into a pair of jeans paired with a belt! Promising review: "I love everything about this sweater! The fit is great! It feels fitted enough to look stylish, yet loose enough to be comfortable and casual. I feel like I need more of these in other colors." —Harris Get it from Quince for $79.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors). Promising review: "I recently got this, and it's become a new favorite in my wardrobe. The color is rich and versatile, while still being neutral. It pairs perfectly with jeans or layers well under a jacket. The waffle texture adds a cozy feel without being too heavy, making it ideal for cooler days. The quality is very nice, it feels expensive, and is on the 'heavier' side. It's also super comfortable and fits just right—definitely a go-to piece for casual outings or lounging around." —The Duchess Corgi Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors). Promising review: "LOVE. It is super comfortable to wear and is great for supporting my chest when I go on a run. Doesn't collect sweat. Very nice and cool material for hotter environments. I have it in so many colors because I love them. HIGHLY recommend!" —Cheyenne Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 40 colors). Promising review: "This sweatshirt looks just like Lululemon. I love the oversized look. The material is of amazing quality. It is thick and soft and very comfortable. I also really like the gold zipper; it helps give it a higher-quality look. Will definitely be buying more in other colors." —K. Becker Get it from Amazon $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 13 colors). Promising review: "I absolutely love this! It is adorable and comfortable. Easy to get into and out of, and can be accessorized in many ways. I get many compliments on this and have it in two colors!" —Jason D. Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 29 colors). Promising review: "Very comfortable and cool (great in hot weather), cute enough to dress up for wine tastings, and it has pockets large enough to hold your phone, keys, snacks (shrimp? You do you). A stranger even complimented me on it, so 10/10 all around." —Mira Get it from Amazon for $46.10+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and eight colors). Promising review: "Omg it's silky smooth, perfect!! I think I own almost every color!!" —michelle Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors). Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for. A semi-loose cardigan to pair with fancier tops. Super soft, and the material has just a little weight. Enough to feel high quality and very comfy!" —Kate Get it from Amazon for $14.70 (available in sizes XS–6X and 19 colors/patterns). Promising review: "Love the lightweight European Linen. Cute spring/summer outfit that can be dressed up with a jean jacket or a spring-colored cardigan. Can’t wait for warmer weather!" —Judy N. Get it from Quince for $64+ (available in standard sizes XS–XL, plus sizes 1X–3X, and eight colors). Promising review: "Cute midline split skirt. I’ve seen the trend, but it’s been hard finding a skirt that fits in person, so I came to Amazon. This is probably the third or fourth skirt of this type I ordered from various companies, and this fits the BEST. It’s a great thin material, but not see-through. The slit is the perfect balance between classy and sexy. I see it being worn with sandals, then boots, and a sweater for the winter. I live in Florida, so this is the perfect material for here. Not too thick." —sim simma Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available for XS–3XL and 10 colors). Promising review: "I love this dress. I have ordered three of them and probably need to stop! :-) I have the dark grey and the olive stripe ones plus the black solid color ones. The fit is perfect for me, and I can be dressed up or down. Super comfortable and a great alternative to shorts in the warmer weather (I live near Charlotte, North Carolina, so gets warm). I am looking forward to pairing it with boots and a jacket for the fall... I think I can wear it most any time of the year." —Pamela Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 26 colors). Promising review: "I am in my '50s, and I sized up to an extra large, so it’s a little looser, and a little longer, it is so cute. I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. I dress it down with tennis shoes, and I’ve worn it in the evening with the vest and heels!!! Great pleats and LOVE the hidden pockets. Great to pack on trips, soooo versatile, the pleats stay nice and creased, looks much more expensive than it is!! Would love to buy other colors." —Tam Aza Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 29 colors and sizes XXS–XXL). 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 Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 21 styles).
