Spring is the most fun season to shop for IMHO — take full advantage with bold colors and prints, twirly silhouettes, and compliment-worthy accessories. Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. Promising review: "True to size! Super comfortable with a lot of stretch to the top half in the chest area. I'm 5'6" and it came down to about 4 inches above my ankles. The design is spot on, like the pictures. Lightweight and flowy." —Abigail Get it from Amazon for $25.48+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 12 colors and prints). Check out a similar plus size version here! Promising review: "Wow! Love how these sunglasses look. Feel like a superstar. They fit great, not too big. They don’t slip. They are lightweight and the frames are not too thick. I like the lighter lenses; everything is very clear. I wasn’t squinting with them on so I would say the sun protection is good. They came with a cleaning cloth as well. I will be ordering in more colors." —Tracey Get them from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 32 styles and multipacks). I'd love this with jeans or almost any color solid bottoms, but you can also make it a full suit with the matching dress or skirt! 😍 Get it from Ann Taylor for $125.30 (origjnally $179; available in sizes 00–18 classic and 00–16 petite). Promising review: "So many compliments! This skirt has become a staple in my spring/summer wardrobe. It fits comfortably and packs easily. 10/10 for my work trips and in the office!" —Jessica Woodworth Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 41 colors and prints). Promising review: "Comfortable and colorful. I love them!" —Celeste S. Get them from Amazon for $103.20+ (available in sizes 5–11) or Betsey Johnson for $119 (available in sizes 5.5–10). Promising review: "Very fashionable for winter and spring. This sweater is just as cute in person. Color is what I expected. Fit is good for my weight and height. Very soft, and ruffles and buttons are just right. Not too frilly." —Mms Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 20 colors). Get it from Sugarlips for $110 (available in sizes XS–3X and in two colors and prints). Promising review: "So cute. Probably one of my faves I've bought in a while. Acetate is strong and colors are gorgeous. Holds hair well and adorable design." —Kristina Rose Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (also available in nine other styles). Promising review: "This top is so cute on and is supportive enough for large chest sizes to wear a strapless bra. I am a 38DD and the 12–14 worked perfectly for me." —Bianca Get it from Amazon for $23.19+ (available in sizes 00–16 and in 13 colors and prints). These are my new favorite shoes! I wore the pink all over the place on my trip to New Zealand and have been wearing them at home more as the weather warms up. They're SO chic and comfy, I couldn't resist also buying the bright blue! I have tons more spring outfit ideas with them. They work great with literally any dress or bottoms — jeans, skirts, shorts, whatever — and make even the simplest outfits more fun. The soles are so cushy, and they have been very durable so far, despite the delicate-seeming material. Honestly a casual, dressy, and travel wardrobe MVP all rolled into one adorable package. Promising review: "So comfortable and cute! Have two types of laces, and I wear them with both laces in! A light color so you can see dirt a lot, but I wouldn’t change it. Pink looks amazing and so many people complimented these shoes in the street. They make my feet feel like a ballerina." —LGLife Get them from Amazon for $159+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in six styles). Promising reviews: "This, by far, is my favorite skirt. I am a skirt-wearer anyways, so I have quite a few. Every time I wear it I get several compliments. I pair it with several tops. It fits great, is lightweight, and has a half-slip already sewn into it. I have now bought three more of these in different colors." —Sherry Charlene Seres "I love this skirt! I wore it in the spring with a T-shirt and jean jacket, and I wore it a week ago when it was freezing out with a sweater! Super comfy!" —Morgan Hansen Get it from Amazon for $22.46+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in seven prints). Promising reviews: "Elle Woods meets Barbie. Full disclosure, the zipper sucks but you don't even need to zip up because front flap covers. LOVED LOVED LOVED this outfit and I can't wait to wear it again!! Everyone said it looked like an outfit right out of Legally Blonde." —Elizabeth W. "Was going for a girl boss vibe for my senior pictures and this was absolutely perfect!!! Love it." —Madyson A. Get it from Lulus for $79.20 (originally $99; available in sizes XS–XL and in four colors). It's even TV-worthy — Debbie wore this on The Golden Bachelor! Promising reviews: "GORGEOUS AND COMFORTABLE. I am obsessed with this dress! It was sooo comfy! I felt like I was wearing a nightgown." —Astrid Proffitt "The most comfortable and beautiful dress ever! I received so many compliments and they couldn’t believe it was from Amazon! Ordering more colors asap!! I ordered my usual size XL and it was perfect, a little extra room, not baggy at all, but only because of the amount of stretch! Size down if you want a bit more of a fitted look/feel!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 19 prints). This Boise, Idaho–based small biz specializes in quirky flair. Promising review: "Comfortable material. As cute as the picture." —Caroline Davis Get it from The Space Bureau on Etsy for $28.71 (originally $31.90; available in six colors). Some reviewers recommend sizing down, unless you're tall! Promising review: "I never want to take them off! If you've been hesitant about whether or not to buy these, then this is your official sign to just do it!! I kept these in my 'saved for later' cart for nearly a year before finally deciding to take the leap, and oh my GOSH I am so glad I did! This is officially my favorite pair of overalls and absolutely perfect for fall. They're so comfortable, and I most certainly will be ordering more in other colors. So, if you're looking to unleash your inner painter/gardener, then this is the perfect outfit for you :D." —Nathan R Ford Get them from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and in six colors and prints). Promising reviews: "Bottega, who? These are adorable and super close to the original ones! Perfect for work, events, or casual days. They don’t get rusty or anything right away (I wore them while walking around in 90-degree weather). Love them and I’m gonna get them in gold too!" —Amazon Customer "Yep..this is it, FINALLY! For those of you who have been searching for the best, affordable, similar-looking Bottega [swap], THIS IS IT!! I searched many places and bought from other places, but this is the best one out there…I thought the price of these earrings was sketchy, but NO…it's legit" —Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and 11 styles and colors). Promising review: "So cute!!! I love it! 😍😍It's well made, comfortable and adorable!!" —Karen B. Get it from Unique Vintage for $68 (available in sizes XS–4X and in four styles). Promising reviews: "This dress is so pretty!! I was hesitant because it seemed like it might be super cheap-looking, but it's a much higher quality than I expected. It fits like a dream and I feel so pretty in it! It has pockets and it drapes so nicely. You will not be disappointed." —Nicole "Worth the buy!!! Liked the dress so much that I bought two! The material is sturdy. Not see-through at all. I’ve never needed to iron them (even after being packed in a suitcase). The colors are just as pictured and they launder beautifully. Also, the pockets lay flat. I’m 5’6”, 130 pounds and between S/M. The green dress is a small and fits great in the waist while being a tad tight in the chest (but not enough to return). I ordered the blue in medium because I wanted extra room in the waist. The belt cinched the waist area without looking bunched. Overall, super happy with these purchases and people have complimented both!" —KC Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 18 prints). Some reviewers say you can size down! And psst — you can also break up the top and skirt to create tons of outfits with pieces already in your wardrobe. I have this (in the sadly no longer available leopard print), and I feel so effortlessly chic when I wear it! The strapless top stays up well, too. Promising review: "I am EMOTIONAL about how great this is. But I want to wear this every day. If I were in a cartoon, I would want this to be the outfit that I have a closet full of. I have G-cup boobs, and tube tops are my own personal hell. But, somehow, this sat just right. I wore a strapless bra under it, and I'm just so excited to wear this out. Did I mention the skirt is perfect? It’s kinda long, but I wore it with some platform-y wedges, and it made it look even cuter! Who gave me permission?!" —Sara Get it from Amazon for $42.98+ (available in sizes S–XL and in nine prints). Get it from BaubleBar for $38 (available with up to nine characters of personalization and in six colors). Promising review: "This is great evening/party attire. This is a great A-line circle skirt. I bought the black version for a holiday party. I got many compliments. It fit perfectly, and hit me just below the knee and had excellent poof!" —Margeaux Chavez Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes XS–5X and in 40 colors). Promising reviews: "Felt like a queen. Got this dress custom fitted and it was like a glove! Super comfy and the tulle is actually really soft." —Steph "Absolutely gorgeous dress! I got so many compliments wearing this! My goal was to be fairy-like and I crushed the vision with this dress. The corset back is great, even my husband was able to help me do it. The sleeves were a bit loose, even after I tried to shorten the strap part but honestly loved the look either on my shoulders or off them!" —Becca L Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in sizes 2–26 and 45 colors/styles). Promising review: "I'm so pleased with these. So often linen pants are shapeless and baggy, whereas these feel smart and elegant. I have bought the olive green and it's a lovely shade — will order the navy too. I bought 8 petite as I'm only 5'2" and they fall lovely at my feet." —Penny W. Get them from Boden for $220 (available in sizes 0–22 regular, 0–12 petite, and 2–22 long and in eight colors and prints). Promising review: "Great spring transition dress — just watch the sizing! I got soooo many compliments on this dress when I wore it with boots in Nashville. When in doubt on sizing, go up a size! It's also pretty short so make sure you have coverage if you're just wearing as a dress like I did." —The Wilmots Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 23 styles). Promising review: "Talk about perfect. Just bought this top and I can’t wait to wear it. It is absolutely stunning and the quality, wow!! Fabulous!!" —Stabrishop1 Get it from J. Crew for $124.50 (originally $178; available in sizes XXS–3X). Reviewers say it generally runs true to size but a bit on the looser side. Promising review: "Gorgeous spring dress! I absolutely love this dress! It makes me feel like I want to go into a field of flowers! 🌻🌻 Great stretch, and not too see-through. You might want to put something underneath if your too afraid but I was perfectly fine." —Abigail Rivera Get it from Amazon for $26.59+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in seven colors). Get it from Shopbop or Amazon for $128 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in five colors and prints). Get it from Eloquii for $129.95 (available in sizes 14–28). Reviewers recommend sizing up if you're busty! Promising reviews: "Absolutely adore this dress!! The CUTEST! I bought it in the white/tan color and the really colorful turquoise. Love them both! I feel like they are cute multi-seasonal dresses. You can wear them with sandals in the summer or boots and a cute vest/jacket for fall. Fits perfectly!" —GEM "I bought this to wear this spring. Dress is well made, love the print and the fit. Bought a puffer vest to go with it for cooler days. Happy with my purchase." —LKR Get it from Amazon for $34.19+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 36 prints). * Pieces Of Clothing So Good, You’ll Wear Them The Day After They Arrive * Stunning Wedding Guest Dresses Perfect For The Wedding You Just RSVP’d To * Fashion Basics You Might Want To Buy In Every Color * If You Hate Hate Hate Jeans Shopping, Here Are 20 Pairs — And One Of Them Might Just Be For You * TikTok-Viral Pieces Of Clothing That Won’t Cost You An Arm And A Leg * Plus-Size Fashion Pieces That Are Very Cute And Won’t Break Your Budget * Office-Appropriate Spring Pieces If You’re Trying To Nail The Cute But Professional Look * Fashionable Finds That Reviewers Don’t Just Love, But “Love, Love, Love” Plus, dresses, workout sets, inexpensive bathing suits, pieces that are great for breastfeeding or traveling, and finds from Abercrombie, Aerie, Amazon, Anthropologie, Athleta, Banana Republic, Boden, Eloquii, Everlane, Free People, Gap, J.Crew, Lands' End, Lulus, Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, Old Navy, Target, Torrid, and Walmart.
