So glad I did, it's beautiful in person. I'm 5'8 and the bottom of the skirt just barely touches the floor. The material is soft, and the skirt has some weight. I purchased the skirt in the color rain drum.. and will definitely be considering getting it in another color!" —anonymous Get it from Free People for $128 (available in sizes 0–14 and five colors). Promising reviews: "I have this wrap in several colors. It’s my go-to wrap for any weather and travel. Must have!" —Lipstick Librarian "Cute! warm, versatile! Can be a shawl, a hood, and a scarf! Perfect accessory" —cocochanel867 Get it from Nordstrom for $49 (available in seven colors). Promising review: "Versatile and cute. Love the feel and look of the Auden brand! These bodysuits feel amazing on the skin and look good, too. I love that they are versatile and can wear them with anything!" —Amanda Get it from Target for $30 (available in sizes XS–2X). Promising reviews: "Super soft shorts. Great mid-thigh length shorts that don't look frumpy! A soft tencel fabric that can be worked with any top from a jean jacket to a cashmere sweater to a tank top." —Katrina S. Get it from Everlane for $88 (available in sizes 00–16 and six colors). Promising review: "I love these T-shirts. I have so many colors and needed a crisp new white one. They are soft and of very good quality." —Vicki28 Get it from J. Crew for $34.50 (available in sizes XXS–3X and nine colors). Promising review: "This dress is so easy to throw on and dress it up or keep it casual! I absolutely love that it gives you a waistline and a little flare without a belt. The fabric is not stiff and rigid. It’s very comfortable and versatile! It’s definitely a 'go-to' in my closet. The length is perfect for me as it’s not too short. (I’m 5’3”). Definitely not a mini dress on me. Don’t wait! Get one before they sell out!" —Bluejeangirl Get it from Madewell for $148 (available in sizes XXS–XL). Promising reviews: "Love my cashmere tee! It is perfect for spring and summer and so much more than a regular T-shirt. I really like the yellow color with the strip detail. I sized up for a more relaxed fit. It can be dressed up or down. Great wardrobe staple! —Tanya M. "So soft and comfortable. Looks great with jeans or dressing up a bit. It's the perfect top!" —Annette B. Get it from Quince for $44.90+ (originally $115; available in sizes XS–XL and 14 colors and patterns). Promising review: "Love this dress. I have two in black and two in stripes. Perfect length, and so glad to see a dress with sleeves. Only thing that would make it better is more colors and pockets." —Lynn H. Get it from Gap for $69.95 (available in sizes XXS–XXL, tall and petite fits, and three colors). Promising review: "I've had a hard time finding blazers that fit well. They're either too bulky or frumpy looking, or hit at weird places — but this one finally fits what I've been looking for! It's soft and light and hits that sweet spot between structured and laid back. Feels casual and polished at the same time, and the green is gorgeous. I'm normally a size 1 or 2 in Torrid, depending on the item — for this I got a size 2, and it was perfect." —StarryBlueNight3 Get it from Torrid for $69.90 (available in sizes M–6X and four colors and patterns). Promising review: "Cute and Comfortable! Great fitting pants that can be dressed up or worn casually." —Browro1 Get it from Anthropologie for $118 (available in sizes XXS–XL, tall sizes, and in five colors). Promising reviews: "I have been getting these for a couple of years. They are so easy to care for and so comfortable, even in Georgia's heat! I have just about all of them...wishing for more fabric designs." —jllb "Truly, no iron. Once I got the right size, I really liked this no-iron blouse. It is well made and quite versatile." —Katie Get it from Lands' End for $79.95 (available in sizes XS–XL, 1X–3X, petite and tall fits, and five colors and prints). Promising review: "So cute and comfy. Looks great on me as a plus-size woman. It washed up well. It will be perfect for our sometimes hot summers and is versatile enough to go anywhere. I purchased in both colors." —Susan S. Get it from Old Navy for $22.49 (originally $44.99; available in sizes XS–4X, tall and petite sizes, and two colors and prints). Promising reviews: "There cannot be an outfit that is easier and better than this outfit. There just can't. The built-in bra is perfection. Pockets? Deep and hidden. It clings where you want it to and flows away from the body. Stretchy, soft, and wicking fabric. I honestly will live in these dresses this summer." —Mackenzie Get it from Pact for $66 (originally $78; available in sizes XS–2XL and four colors/prints). Promising reviews: "I love these shorts!!! Easy pull-on while looking polished. Very versatile, with a subtle lux sheen. Bought it in black and am considering other colors. I'm a curvy bottom girl as well, and this worked for me." —Glaura33 "These shorts are very comfortable. I purchased them in several colors. I love how lightweight they are. Perfect for the summer." —Angie77777 Get it from J. Crew for $79.50+ (available in sizes XXS–3X and 12 colors and patterns). Promising review: "This top, which I have in three colors, is so comfortable and stylish! It really allows you to move, and I wear it for strength training and yoga. It's also very versatile and can be worn out and about. I have no negative comments!" —Sherrill Get it from Athleta for $29.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and 10 colors). Promising review: "I discovered this Everlane long sleeve when a friend of mine left hers at my apartment after subletting a few years ago. After wearing it once, I knew I'd never give it back. It's so comfortable, washes well, and goes with anything. I've been thinking of buying a few more for a while and finally did! I was worried the quality would be different since everything seems to be lower quality these days, but it's exactly the same. Love this shirt and wear it often." —Sandrine N. Get it from Everlane for $41 (originally $58; available in sizes XXS–XXL and 10 colors). Promising review: "I wear these jeans to work, and I also wear them out. They're very versatile and look good with a belt. Size 24 fits better waist-wise, but the length was a little shorter than I like bc I like a longer length, so I got 25, still love and not much difference in waist." —kat n. Get them from Gap for $44+ (originally $89.95; available in sizes 24–35, including tall and petite fits, three lengths, and 18 colors and patterns; also available in curvy sizes). Get it from Nordstrom for $44 (available in sizes XS–4XL and eight colors and patterns). Promising review: "Can dress this one up or down. Beautiful fit. The fabric is a double layer on the thinner side, but helps it lay nicely." —rbees Get it from Anthropologie for $98 (available in sizes XXS–XL, 1X–3X, petite sizes, and four colors). Promising review: "These are so comfortable. No inserts to slip around or curl up, and the fabric is very comfortable inside and out. The longer line means less pressure on your ribs. You can wear these all day for work and exercise." —C2023 Get it from Lululemon for $68 (available in sizes 2–14 and 11 colors). Promising review: "Good fabric to last a long time. Great match with the skirt pictured. The set looks good for casual or more!" —Donna K. "Love this outfit! Comfortable, warm, and just above the informal code for work." —Bowie Princess Get it from Eloquii for $25 (originally $69.95; available in sizes 14–32 and two colors). Promising review: "I have several cupro items, and I love them all, but this blouse is classic. Feels like butter against the skin while looking dressed up with cigarette pants and dressed down with jeans. My new favorite!" —Susan V. Get it from Universal Standard for $178 (available in sizes 3XS–4XL and in six colors and patterns). I've had this jacket for a little over a year now, and I am simply obsessed. I love the distressed, vintage-y look and how comfortable it is to wear. The leather is thick enough to keep the wind and cooler temps from getting to me, yet it's not so heavy that I feel weighed down. While it's definitely a more specific aesthetic, I find it pretty versatile in terms of what I wear it with and the different kinds of occasions I wear it for. I slip this on for casual coffee meet-ups with my friends (pictured above!), attending shows at our local mystery theatre, date nights downtown, and even just when I'm out shopping and want to look ~cool~. Promising review: "Amazing moto jacket! I made it to order, and it fits like a glove right out of the box. Quality of leather is high, and the fit and finish are spot on... and the inner pockets fit a large phone! Definitely recommend!" —Charlotte Get it from The Jacket Maker for $299 (available in sizes XXS–3XL, custom-made-to-order, and in three colors). * Investment-Worthy Fashion Finds That Last Multiple Years, According To Reviewers * 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” * Fashion Items For Anyone Who Yawns At The Idea Of Wearing All Black * Pieces Of Clothing That’ll Get Compliments — At Prices You’ll Brag About * If You’re In Your '30s, Here Are 31 Chic, Lightweight Pieces You’ll Want In Your Spring Closet * Basics That ~Basically~ Are Begging To Be Added To Your Wardrobe * These 31 Spring Pieces Are The Perfect Balance Between Comfort And Style (No, Really) Plus, dresses, workout sets and affordable athleisure pieces, jumpsuits, statement tops, and finds from Abercrombie, Amazon, Anthropologie, Athleta, Bloomchic, Boden, Eloquii, Everlane, Free People, Gap, Gap Factory, J.Crew, Lane Bryant, Loft, Lululemon, Lulus, Madewell, Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, Revolve, Quince, Target, Torrid, and Walmart.
