Promising review: "In love with these as soon as I saw them. And then they ended up fitting perfectly! The linen hangs so nicely, and I love the twist on a track pant. Great for every day and the office!" —Patootie

Get them from Madewell for $98 (available in sizes XXS–2X, including short and tall, and eight colors). 

Promising review: "The fit is perfect. It’s a great summer everyday basic. It is easily dressed up or down. Great with a sweater or a tank. The slit allows for movement and a little leg." —Linda C.

Get it from Quince for $49.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors).  

Promising reviews: "Bought this skirt for my upcoming graduation to pair with a white button-up top. Wanted separates I could wear again instead of a skirt. This is so pretty and elegant, it definitely gives ballerina vibes in a flat. I’ll wear this all summer after my special occasion." —Erins101

"Bought the lime green and love it with the matching lightweight short-sleeve cashmere. The wide hem is a nice touch. Very comfortable." —Quinn

Get it from J.Crew for $89.50+ (originally $128+; available in sizes XXS–3X, including tall and petite, and eight colors). 

I was seriously skeptical of baby tees in general, but this top has become an essential and staple in my collection. I love how super comfy and stretchy they are. I wear mine at least once a week and 100% need to get some more colors! I style these with jeans and sometimes a cardigan, depending on the weather. I also can't wait to rock this with all my summer skirts and shorts! 

Promising review: "I'm in the process of going the capsule wardrobe sort of route...Trying to focus on natural fibers and all that. In my quest to find good quality basics, this top is perfect! At 95% cotton, 5% elastane, it fits my criteria for natural fibers, and the style is great. You can wear it with anything. Not too thick, not too thin. It hits right at the top of my high-waisted jeans, which is all I wear. They are fitted but not tight like a bodysuit. I bought one in every color, and I expect to use/have them for a long time." —Sam B

Get it from Abercrombie & Fitch for $25 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and eight colors).  

Promising review: "This skirt is adorable! It’s super flowy and not see-through." —Bloomchic Customer

Get it from Bloomchic for $32.90 (available in sizes 10/M–30/6X). 

I just purchased these in the blue shade and the black shade because I love a dress that you can just kind of throw on and be good to go. I haven't had a lot of time to wear them, but I will confirm that they are quite comfy, and I know I'll be wearing them on repeat once it's a bit longer. I will probably style these with Mary-Janes, sandals, or sneakers. 

Promising review: "The pictures don't do this dress justice! It is so cute in person, and the fit is perfection! It's so hard as a curvy/petite girl to find dresses that fit without getting them altered. I loveee this one! I'm 5'1, 190#, and super curvy, and the large fits perfectly, and it's lined! Might go back for another color!" —CW

Get it from Old Navy for $8.99+ (originally $29.99; available in sizes XS–4X; including tall and petite lengths, and nine colors). 

Promising review: "Ordered the light blue and it's SO pretty. Great for summertime. Rise is true to size, chest is too. Length hits right at the top of the foot, I'm 5'6". Would prefer a tiny bit longer, but this length is trendy right now, so it's not a deal breaker." —Banana Republic Factory Customer

Get it from Banana Republic Factory for $80 (originally $160; available in sizes 4–18 and four colors; including petite lengths). 

Promising review: "This skort fits amazing!!! I am very impressed. I'll probably purchase more in different colors. Happy shopping!!!☺️" —Adai

Get it from Torrid for $45 (originally $69.90; available in sizes M, L, 3X, and 4X).

Promising review: "Lovely classic top with a twist. The fabric is gorgeous. It is fine, and you need a nude bra underneath, but it hangs beautifully and is perfect for warmer weather. The buttons down the back are a stylish addition. I loved the Seamist Blue so much that I ordered the Pink Peony straightaway, despite its price, even with the 25% discount. As long as they wash well, I expect to get a lot of wear from them this spring/summer." —Clare 

Get it from Boden for $140+ (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors). 

Promising review: "Love this material! Very nice top and matching shorts. Very comfortable." —Loft Customer

Get it from Loft for $32.97 (originally $54.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL, including petite). 

Promising review: "Love this sweater. It is so lightweight. Perfect for summer. The length of the sleeves and body is spot on for me (I’m 5’3). Highly recommend to wear on its own, with a tee or dress for a lightweight cover-up." —Colleen G.  

Get it from Everlane for $138 (available in sizes XXS–XL and three colors). 

Promising review: "These shorts are so adorable!! They are nice and airy, perfect for a hot summer day. I can’t wait to wear these on vacation." —Maria 

Get them from Aerie for $25 (originally $34.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL and six colors). 

Promising review: "I bought this in a medium, regular, olive green. I typically wear size 6/8 in dresses, and the medium is just right. It's a gorgeous color and the fabric has a nice weight that hangs well. This is a simple summer dress that will make a nice canvas for accessories. I didn't have trouble getting it on and off, but can understand why some reviewers would prefer a side zipper or tie closure —especially in humid weather. I'm 5'8" and found the length adequate with flat summer sandals, but a bit longer/fuller skirt would have been better (especially for someone over 5'7" or so). Overall, a nice dress and good value when purchased on sale." —Michaela H.

Get it from Banana Republic for $198 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and three colors). 

Promising review: "This little blouse is so dainty and cute it reminds me of my dresses in the '80s!!" —Mamamia007

Get it from Gap Factory for $23.97 (originally $69.99; available in sizes S–XL). 

Promising review: "So cute and breathable! Soft and flowy. I love 100% cotton, and that's hard to find right now." —Lane Bryant Customer

Get the dress from Lane Bryant for $53.97+ (available in sizes 10–40 and two colors). 

Promising review: "This is my new favorite go-to sweater! It pairs well with work pants. It also looks great with jeans, giving a casual look. It's the perfect fabric for in-between weather. I need one in every color!" —Coffee Girl 

Get it from L.L. Bean for $58.99+ (originally $69.95; available in sizes XS–3X; including petite sizes, and six colors). 

Promising review: "This can sit high-waisted or mid-rise comfortably, and the shorts are made of a very comfortable and soft material. They are very short shorts, but I don't mind, as I am wearing this skirt more mid-rise. True to size and seems well-made. Hits mid thigh, so not too short either. Highly recommend!" —Maggie C

Get it from Gap for $69.95 (available in sizes XXS–XXL; including petite sizes, and two colors). 

Promising review: "The shortails themselves are super cute and aesthetically are 10/10. However, the amazing thing is that they're comfy and the materials are authentic." —Oakley

Get them from Levi's for $55.97 (originally $79.95; available in sizes XS–XL and three colors).  

Promising review: "Rugby shirts are very hot this fall. I love the cropped length of this shirt. It hits right around the waist. The colors are also gorgeous! However, the best part about this top is how soft and cozy it is! I feel like I’m wearing a pajama top. I can’t wait until the weather cools off so I can wear it!" —linziloo

Get it from Nordstrom Rack for $49.97 (originally $118; available in sizes XS–XL). 

Promising review: "This top is absolutely adorable! Quality is amazing...it truly looks far more expensive than it is and washes beautifully. I've gotten it in all available colors and only wish there were more colors!" —Fern H.

Promising review: "I usually never leave reviews, but these pants are amazing! I usually wear a size 30-31. I’m 5’1, and I got a medium if you're short, I would recommend getting your true size because they’ll be too long." —JDebs

Get them from Urban Outfitters for $69 (available in sizes XXS–XL and four colors). 

Promising review: "I wear these culottes to work all summer. Happy to add the two new colors to my closet. They are so comfortable and easy to wear. They make getting dressed for work easy." —Leigh T.

Get them from Free People for $70 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors). 

Promising review: "This is my third color. I normally can’t make shorts seem dressy, but these are perfect. I love to style them with an oversize tee for daywear or dress them up with a cardigan for dinner. The lace is really nice and doesn’t feel cheap." —Trina5081
