I decided to give this a try. I received so many compliments in this outfit and it was super comfortable to wear all day long. 10/10 would recommend." —Kaitlin

Promising review: "I first saw this romper on TikTok and fell in love with it. The girl said she got it on Amazon and lemme tell you, I never searched for anything faster! I have worn this a few times already and every time I have worn it, I’ve gotten TONS of compliments. I am definitely going to order more in other colors!" —Amanda Bello

Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 36 colors and patterns).

Promising review: "Y’all, I’ve been looking for a pair of elastic denim shorts for ages, and I finally found a great pair. These shorts are perfect! I look like a total '90s mom in these and I love it. They’re long enough so my butt doesn't hang out or eat them, which tends to happen. Obsessed with these shorts." —D

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and six washes).

Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and fell in love with the dress! This dress is very cottage core 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 $37.99 (available in S–XL and in 27 colors).

Reviewers say it's great for adding personality to work outfits!

Promising review: "This is such a great product!! I always get too hot when I wear button-ups below my sweatshirts and this is the perfect way to look stylish and put together while also being super comfy. The straps on the side are adjustable to make it fit just right and it looks like a real shirt! 10/10 would recommend." —Jada Commodore

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors, in round and pointed collars, and in packs of two).

Reviewers recommend sizing up!

Promising review: "I was so excited for these shorts to come in since I’ve seen them all over TikTok with the best reviews. When I put them on I immediately ordered them in two more colors. They are so soft and amazing for just about anything, and so comfortable. They do run a little small but it's no big deal since I sized up anyway." —cosimamosher owens

Consult the size chart in the product description, but also note that this brand tends to run on the smaller side!

Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous dress!! Came exactly as pictured, and better than anything I’ve bought at a big box retailer in years. Considering how voluminous and dramatic the piece is, it's about as lightweight as you could ask for a lined, semiformal dress. I usually wear a 10 or 12, but I went with a 12 out of caution and it fits like a glove." —Angelina Meehan

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 11 lens colors).

Reviewers say it runs large!

Promising review: "This is the easy, breezy, simple dress I’ve been looking for! It's super soft with some stretch and has pockets!!! And the tie-dye accent gives it some pizazz so it's not so plain. You can throw this on for anything. Dress it up with some boots or heels, keep it casual with flip flops or slides. Accessorize with a jean jacket, jewelry, or hats. Want more colors! I normally wear a large in most of my clothes and got the same here; fits loose and flowy as expected." —Ann D.

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 25 prints).

Promising review: "Yes, I bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and yes, this is as great as I thought it would be!! Suuuper comfortable and now my to-go bra!

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XXS–4XL and 38 styles).

Promising review: "I LOVE this dress!! The material is so lightweight that it's perfect for summer, and then the buffalo plaid will also look cute and trendy in fall with a jean jacket! Plus I LOVE that there are pockets. The dress is made really well; I was pleased to see it also had a lining so it's not at all transparent. I saw another review that said it ran a little small and as someone between two sizes I sized up and I’m glad I did. I like that it is more flowy and comfortable-fitting! I will be wearing this dress all summer and then some!" —Theresa St Peter

Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in seven prints).

Prime members: You can try before you buy!

Promising review: "Viral outfit. I ordered this outfit for a last-minute Zoom bday party I ended up planning and it was a HIT! I ended up posting my outfit on TikTok and my video ended up getting 12,000 (and counting) views. Haha super comfy, my only issue was because I'm shorter, the train kept dragging but if you wear heels (which I didn't, I wore slides 😂) this shouldn't be an issue. I've never felt more confident!" —Nix Cee

Get it from Outdoor Voices for $69+ (available in sizes XXS–3XL and in eight colors and patterns).

Note: Pay attention to the numbers on the waistbands as they are different!

Promising review: "I love the material, it's soft and cool to the touch, but also feels really sturdy. I love the way it falls, and the waistband of the two I ordered is very comfy. Other reviewers have mentioned this, but this is the difference in the 3 styles: 211 has a 1/2 inch shorter waistband, making the skirt 1/2 inch shorter in total, 669 (pictured in yellow) and 889 (pictured in black) have the thicker waistband and 889 is 5 inches longer than 669. Oh, and this brand is made in The USA, so that's pretty cool." —Rene R

Get it from Amazon for $12.75+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 45 colors/patterns).

Reviewers recommending sizing up as they run small.

Promising review: "First, comfort is key, and these are ridiculously comfy. Material is sturdy yet soft and not see-through. I wanted them baggy and to hit just above my ankle…perfect. Waistband fits snugly, but not too tight. I love them and I ordered two more colors." —abingham

It has a double-layered bra panel to provide enough support and coverage that you can feel rest assured that you won't accidentally flash anyone.

This is not the tube top of your youth, people — and I mean that in the best way possible. I never thought I'd *ever* wear a tube top — it just hasn't ever been my style — but this top changed that. It's perfectly '90s inspired, with a tiny satin rose at the front that I'm obsessed with, and made of luxurious, moisture-wicking material that feels so good on skin. It's so comfortable that I actually don't want to take it off even when I'm home and just hanging out. This piece is EVERYTHING, and I can't wait to wear it nonstop this summer.

Promising review: "I haven't felt cute in a tube top since I was 13 and developed a self conscious body awareness that typically wants to hide my upper body shape. 20 years later: enter the the cutest most well fitted number I've ever slipped into. My armpits and boobs need not be afraid! Feeling adorable in my skin. Thank you. Jah bless." —Julia S.

Get it from Rat Boi for $54 (available in sizes XS–3X and five colors). PS: The long-sleeve cover-up the model is wearing is called a bolero.

Promising review: "I read the reviews and a lot of people suggested sizing up one, so I went with 20. This dress is SO comfy. Like ...... SO..... Comfy. For me this hits right at my feet and does not drag at all, plenty of arm room, and did I mention....POCKETS?????? It can be dressed up or dressed casual, and it also has a high enough neckline you don't have to wear a stupid uncomfortable bra. Like you could probably sleep in this if you felt so inclined. Also, it doesn't cling. That's right friends....No clingy material here." —Emz

Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in 14–26 Plus and 40 colors/prints).

I’m really happy with this product because it's hard to find a product that accommodates my size and comes in good quality. If you're hesitant, I would suggest checking your measurements. I might buy more colors!" —Nick
