These basics aren’t actually that basic.

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

Promising reviews: "A keeper for sure. The fabric is 100% cotton, but with a texture that resembles linen. The detail at the ankle is beautiful. Speaking of detail, they even put a small decorative button just above each back pocket. Elastic at the waist is great, and you could probably cut off the drawstring if you wish. I loved these." —Patricia

"Great for hot Texas weather. I love these breathable cotton pants! They are woven so do not stretch, but are a soft fabric after washing in cold water and drying on low heat. Previous reviews said to size up, so I did, and I was happy. The eyelet embroidery at the bottom of each leg really fancies up these casual pants, plus lets additional breezes in." —Yesitsreallyme

Promising review: "These socks are a great fit as well as look nice casual or dress!" —Lynneski

Promising review: "So soft and vibrant. I love the fit and sizing is true to your normal size. No need to size up or down! I really like the feel of the fabric. Perfect for fall. This blue color is beautiful too!!!" —Makala 

Price: $20 (available in sizes XS–XXL and five colors)

Promising review: "I saw a very similar blouse at a retailer that I really liked. It was $75! I will NOT pay that much for a blouse that won't be worn much and will be worn under a jacket. For $21, this fit the bill. I was surprised at how nice it is! The material is very good quality and the sewing is excellent. The sleeves are long but I'm tall (5'10”) and usually sleeves are hitting me at the wrist bone. The length was perfect for me. I haven't worn or washed it yet so I hope it won't wrinkle too badly." —anonymous

Price: $18.99+ (originally $31.99; available in sizes S–XXL and five colors)

Promising review: "Bought this tee at a great price and it is better than expected. I see myself wearing it all year long. It will work good even under a sweater. It has a nice ruffle on the sleeve. I'm very pleased!" —dawner1

Price: $12.99 (originally $17.99; available in sizes S–XXL and 14 colors)

Promising review: "It's been a long time since I've worn high-rise jeans, so it took a minute to get used to but once I did I realized what I'd been missing. The waist sits right above the stomach so no cutting in. They don't slide down, and the loose legs are soooo comfy. Bonus, if you are short like me, 5'1", the 27-inch inseam makes these the perfect length too. If you're taller, these would look great with cute boots or sandals. The jean material is better then most jeans out there these days. They have stretch but with a sturdiness. I did notice if you go to the smaller sizes (14 and below), it actually changes the jeans. Those jeans are great too, but mid-rise and more of a stretch jean." —CarolD

Price: $26.98 (available in sizes 2–16 and six washes)

Promising review: "This is really cute. I love the colors and the detail of the buttons just adds something extra. Looks great with jeans or dress pants for work. Polo-type shirts are so in this year. I never know if I'm a medium or large and I ordered this in a large and I'm glad I did. For reference, I'm a 34DDD and I weigh 150 pounds." —Kelli

Price: $14 (originally $28; available in sizes XS–XXL and five colors) 

Proimsing review: "Love the light denim. I had to come back and get the other color." —Tanya

Price: $21.98 (available in sizes XXS–4X and two colors) 

Promising review: "I love this skirt for summer wear. It is long enough on my long legs (32 inch inseam) to wear to church and light weight enough for 90 degree days. I have yet to wash it, but expect no difficulties. I have worn it all over town; it goes with almost every top in my closet from dressy silk blouses to T-shirts" —Ricia

Price: 11.98+ (originally $24.99; available in sizes S–XXL and six colors) 

Promising review: "The fit is spot on and the material is quality. I referenced these when talking to my daughter and I'm sure she will purchase as well. I got the black and white and will, no doubt, look for other colors as well!" —Amber

Price: $14.99+ (available sizes S–3XL and 21 colors)

Promising review: "I absolutely love these tops. They fit great and are so soft and comfortable. I wear them almost all day every day. The material is just right for wearing inside the home with the AC on and light enough to go outside in the warmer weather just pull up the sleeves." —Windee

Price: $10.98 (available in sizes 0X–5X and eight colors) 

Promising review: "Looks very high end without the high end price!" —LegallyBlonde1971

Promising review: "This dress is very comfortable. The material is great. I wear it to work or during daily routines. I've purchased almost every color. I'm 5'5 and weigh 180 pounds. I purchased a medium and it fits well." —Ulonda

Price: $17.99 (originally $25.99; available in sizes S–4XL and eight colors) 

Promising review: "Stylish, versatile, and great quality! I absolutely love this black cropped jacket from Walmart! I styled it with a Walmart dress, and it instantly elevated the whole look. The fabric is really nice, and I love that it's lined. The gold buttons on the sleeves and the single gold button in the front add such a classy touch. The cropped length is very cute and makes it easy to style with dresses, jeans, skirts, or pants. The fit was perfect, and I love that it's a versatile piece that can be dressed up or worn more casually. A great addition to any wardrobe! ❤️ Highly recommend!" —GiGi

Promising review: "These pajamas were a pleasant surprise! They are soft, a beautiful color, roomy but not too big. I ordered a S and they fit perfectly! Fast delivery, too!" —Paula

Price: $21.99 (originally $40.99; available in sizes S–3XL and seven colors) 

Promising review: "Wow, these boots are so amazing. I tried a bunch from Amazon that I ended up returning but these take the cake. The shaft height is just right for shorties (5'3 and wide calves), they don't bunch very much, which was the problem with other styles. I was nervous the banana color would be too vibrant but they really look super cute. I would definitely recommend them for the price, comfort, and FAST shipping. My bestie who wears the same size is already eyeing them. Don't think. Just get them!" —Victoria

Price: $44.98 (available in sizes 6–11, in wide calf, and six colors) 

Promising review: "So soft and cozy!! I'm usually a true medium. I tried the medium and on me it looked too slouchy and didn't do anything for me so i ordered the small and loved it!! It still has a loose fit but seemed to fit and look so much better on. I'm 150 pound; 5'6'; 36C. I guess it just depends on how you want it to fit. I liked the small best and will be ordering more." —Molly

Price: $13+ (originally $17.98; available in sizes XS–4X and four colors) 

Promising review: "This is perfect when walking outside during the winter season, especially when you want to stay on style. I paired it with a dress, skirt, and even using it for layering with pants. It's thick and soft. Quality is great and value for money." —RJenn

Price: $13.92 (originally $22.99; available in two thicknesses and three colors) 

Price: $26.99 (originally $50.99; available in sizes S–XL and 11 colors)

Promising review: "The pants are great quality! I'm 5'4”, weigh 170 pounds, and ordered a size 6. The fit is perfect—not too tight and still leaves me a little room. They have a great balance between being comfortable and fitted, making them perfect for work." —LadyL

Price: $36 (available in sizes 0–28 and two colors) 

Promising review: "You will get a huge amount of use and lots of compliments from this dressy denim skirt. It has just enough weight to hang beautifully and move with you. Unlike most notoriously fragile side zippers ,this great,blue jean exposed side zipper ,with a hidden inside button at the top of the waist, is confidently sturdy. It zips up and down with ease. Did I tell you the length and width will give you all the comfortable coverage you need when sitting?" —Marcia
