Read More Breezy, lightweight pieces that won’t cling to your body and make you feel suffocated in this already-suffocating heat — now that’s what I’m talking about. As a shopping editor with over a decade of experience working in journalism and digital media, I cover everything from beauty and fashion to home, travel, gaming, and pets, and I'm constantly saving interesting products on TikTok (in *very* organized folders, mind you) to share with BuzzFeed readers. Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. Promising review: "These are my new favorite warm-weather slacks. They look great if I’m dressing up and they look great if I’m being casual. I will be able to wear these out quite a ways into fall, as well. I’m really happy with the purchase of the material; it's so soft you just can’t even believe it, but it’s sturdy." –Rory McNeil Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and in 23 colors). Promising review: "I am so happy with this dress! I ordered the green color and it looks exactly as pictured. It's fully lined, so it's not sheer at all, but is still lightweight and comfortable. The fabric is soft, and the crochet detailing at the top is very pretty. It has a small bead button at the back of the neck. It seems well-made. Love it!" —Mama H Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 23 colors). Klassy Network is a woman-owned business known for their Brami tops that provide amazing support and don't require a bra underneath! Promising reviews: "First time I’ve ever found a dress that supports my DD and I can go braless! Bought both colors and I’d buy more if they came in more colors." —Jackie B. "I literally ran to the mailbox to try this on as soon as it was delivered, and I am in LOVE! I wear a lot of mini dresses in the summer, and it's hard to go bra-less. This dress just solved all my mini dress problems...AND it has pockets! I love the length, not too short, and the skirt is super twirly. I want this in every color!!" —Olivia Get it from Klassy for $74 (available in sizes XXS–3XL and three colors). These have belt loops, so you could add a belt as needed! Promising review: "These pants are so comfortable and flowy! I stepped outside of my usual skinny-jean outfit to try this style — and I never want to take them off! They are great casual pants for work, and can be dressed up for the evening with a fancy shirt and heels. They are as comfortable as pajamas, without looking like it." —Nash Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes XS–2X, including long and short sizes, and 29 styles). Promising review: "Love this look! Paired with a white bodysuit and looks great. Perfect for a vacation or a night out. They do run big in my opinion. Originally ordered a large and returned for medium. They're also longer; I’m 5’6” and plan on wearing wedges." —Cory F. Get them from Amazon for $28.59+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 28 colors/prints). Promising review: "Summer frock in black. I officiated a beautiful outside wedding and needed something light and airy, nice but informal. And this did it. I could dress it up with a sash or prayer shawl. The color is black, and not too thin. A comfortable fit." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $46.99 (available in sizes XL–4XL and five colors). Promising review: "My new favorite pants for summer. They are so soft and breathable, and the material is neither too thin nor see-through. Effortless, chic, and comfortable." —Helga Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 17 colors). Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this romper! It's comfortable, and the material is soft but holds up well. It’s easy to dress up with some cute sandals and jewelry or dress down for a more casual, laid-back look. I loved it so much, I bought it in three different colors — and I honestly wear all of them on repeat! It’s the perfect one-piece outfit for running errands, going out to lunch, or even lounging at home. Highly recommend — this romper is a wardrobe staple!" —caroline rogers Get it from Amazon for $23.97 (available in sizes XS–XL and 14 colors). Promising review: "My new favorite!!! Was soooo cute! There are several areas to adjust the fit of the dress for different body types/preferences and I learned that tying each individual string that goes around the neck SEPARATELY worked perfectly for keeping it from loosening up while wearing. Once I figured that out, I danced the night away at a friend's wedding without a single worry and looked FABULOUS! The flowiness of the dress looks soooo awesome when you're twirling 👍🏼👍🏼 It might be a bit short for some people, but it was perfect for me, and it was longer in the back and showed off my back in a sexy way. Very highly recommend!" —Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 35 colors). If you choose to rock this without another top (like a cami) underneath, one reviewer suggests using fashion tape to keep the top in place. Promising review: "Need to dress it up but hate skirts and dresses? This is perfect! I tend to dress more masc and have difficulty finding dressier or more formal items that I love wearing. This sleeveless pantsuit was a godsend. It’s formal, it’s cute, it’s comfy, and it’s not a dress or skirt! I got so many compliments while wearing this, too. I was definitely a little skeptical when I ordered it due to some of the other reviews, but for me, it’s a 10/10." —KB Get it from Amazon for $46.19+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 22 colors). Promising review: "These linen shorts have become a go-to for hot days. The elastic waistband is relaxed without feeling sloppy, and the mid-thigh length works for both lounging and running errands. The fabric is lightweight and breathable — exactly what you want from linen in summer. The fit through the hip is easy without being baggy, and they pair beautifully with fitted tops. If you’re tall, note that the inseam runs short, but for a casual summer short that actually works in your favor — no awkward hem, just a clean, effortless look." —Paige Get them from Quince for $32 (available in size XS–XL and nine styles). Promising reviews: "Worth the money!! So glad I bought this precious dress!! Looks like a much more expensive brand! Nice thick material, vibrant color, and a perfect fit! I wore this with my cowboy boots and got so many compliments! No stretch to the material, but it didn’t wrinkle." —Lisa Lambert "Cute dress. Sleeves are structured and puffy. Perfect in the spring/summer but also great with high boots and a thin turtleneck in the fall... Very versatile." —Shelly Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in women's sizes XS–L and seven colors). Promising reviews: "The pictures do not do this justice. This dress is stunning and the material feels so nice. It’s also lightly lined. I would definitely purchase it again. Fits true to size and flows beautifully." —Anna Polozola "It’s so pretty 😭 and everything is adjustable, which is nice. It’s good quality, not paper thin. Comfy. I purchased the blue version and the color is an exact match to what the model is wearing. I already want it in another color!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 28 colors). Promising review: "I saw this outfit on Summer England on TikTok and thought there was no way I could pull these overalls off as well as she could in her 'Hobbit'-esque aesthetic. THESE LOOK AMAZING ON EVERYONE!!! The overalls are super flowy and comfortable! I'm 5'10" so if there are any tall girls wondering if this will fit, the answer is YES! It does crop a bit above your ankles but I think it looks super cute. The pockets are functional too! The only thing I will say is that the material is not super breathable, so in the summer it gets pretty...warm...down there (but not a single sweat stain that I could see). You may feel sweaty, but the material doesn't show if it's not a lot." —Emma Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and in 13 colors). Reviewers do flag that this shrinks in the dryer, so it's recommended to air dry! Promising review: "These are exactly what I wanted and honestly I'm surprised they actually fit me so well! I'm a plus-sized lady and got an XL, was honestly worried it would be tight on my stomach or thighs, but it's soooo roomy!! I am in l o v e!!!" —Katelyn P. Get it from Amazon for $23.19+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 18 styles). Promising review: "This is very comfortable and flowy. Wore it all day and didn’t want to take it off because of how comfy it was. I got lots of compliments on it at my baby shower — I’m eight months pregnant in Texas and it’s HOT here." —Lorin Rae Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 14–26 and in 37 colors). Promising review: "This dress is the definition of comfortable and cute. It’s a perfect A-line style with POCKETS. The small flowers show up clearly without clashing and the detailed stitching gives it a more intentional look than a standard sundress." —Claymore Get it from Anthropologie for $138+ (available in standard sizes XXS–XL, petite sizes XXS–XL, plus sizes 1X–3X, and adaptive sizes XXS–XL in select styles; available in eight total styles). My Little Belleville is a Salt Lake, Utah-based small biz. Promising review: "I love the colors of this dress. It reminds me of spring/summer. The fit is loose and very comfortable. I am very happy with my new dress." —Theresa Get it from My Little Belleville on Etsy for $128 (available in sizes S–XL and two styles). Promising review: "Love these! Super cute, comfy and airy! Definitely worth the buy." —C**l Get them from BloomChic for $25.90 (available in sizes M–6X and two colors). Promising review: "I've seen many popular clothing brands and boutiques selling this style of top, but all of them are much pricier. This top is so cute and the material is nice! Definitely worth the price. I found it fit true to size." —Alexandra Samson Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 46 colors). This is a *very* popular option for maternity shoots as well as Ren Faire outfits. Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and fell in love with the dress! This dress is very cottagecore and fits well. The dress also has a slip under, so that it isn’t too sheer, and the sizing is correct for the most part (depending on your bust as the top half of the dress is made of 'stretchy' material). I would definitely recommend this dress! Buy it if you’re thinking about it." —Jin Get it from Amazon for $42.99 (available in XS–XL and in 36 colors). Promising review: "I like these so much I bought four of them! Although I’m not busty, I swim and lift weights and I’m broad in the chest and shoulder areas. These tops fit perfectly and are great for Florida year round. Easy to wash and hang dry. They’re flowy and lightweight. Buy them, you won’t regret it!" —Betsy Get it from Amazon for $6.97+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 24 colors). Some reviewers recommend sizing up, particularly if you're on the curvier side. Promising review: "These PJs are fantastic! They are great fitting and so pretty. I especially like they are so cool on your skin. You won’t need cooling sheets if you have these. The material is impressive. The quality is great; however I prefer to carefully hand wash. They dry quickly with no wrinkles. Good purchase!" —Allison Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 38 colors). Promising review: "I will never buy another pair of warm weather PJs again other than these. I am a thirtysomething post-baby lady, and with my hormones paired with living in Arizona, I needed PJs that were cool and comfortable. But I often found that the fabric of other PJs would rapidly get worn, pilled, and rough. These silky soft PJs have been going strong for months now through countless hot flashes and heat waves when it would get into the 80s in our bedroom. If you are a hot-blooded person and need to cool down, I can't recommend these PJs enough. I literally never leave reviews but felt compelled to preach to others the good word of Latuza's PJs." —Margery Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes S–4XL and 20 colors).
