Get it from Boden for $220 (available in sizes 0–20/22 petite, regular, and long).

Get them from Banana Republic Factory for $52 (originally $130; available in sizes 6–10).

Promising review: "This top is so dang cute and fits perfectly! The quality is great, and you can tie the straps to make the top tighter or looser, which is great." —Sophia M.

Get it from Petal & Pup for $59 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and four colors/prints).

Promising review: "Bought these pants to go with the shirt. I absolutely loved the feel of these. The color is just a bonus. It fits so well and comfortably around my waist. I had so many compliments when I wore the complete outfit to brunch. For the pants being made of 100% cotton, they feel like denim." —Deserae H

Get it from Eloquii for $129.95 (available in sizes 14–28).

Promising review: "Very cute skirt. I love it and thinking to get another one in different colour." —Ayu

Get it from Levi's for $70 (available in sizes 23–34 and dark wash).

Promising review: "Love the bow on the back. Super cute summer outfit." —M**n

Get it from Bloomchic for $39.90 (available in sizes M–6X).

Promising review: "I absolutely adore this dress. It's so soft, but not thin. It is just the right thickness, and it fits beautifully. So comfy and CUTE! True to size. And washer and dryer friendly. I wish I could wear it every day." —Suzanne S

Get it from Gap for $118 (available in sizes XS–L petite, XXS–XXL regular, and S–XXL tall, and three colors).

Promising review: "Beautiful and well made. Only one caveat, from the waist to where the inseam starts is the tiniest bit short. On the bright side, it keeps the silk from appearing baggy or slouchy. So if you're pear-shaped, consider going up a size to see if they fit a little better. But only you know how you prefer your clothes to fit. They look and feel very EXPENSIVE. I'm very happy with the navy blue, but WOULD REALLY love to see the same variety of colors as in the smaller sizes. Still, I'm extremely pleased and would highly recommend." —Desiree

Get them from Quince for $100 (available in sizes 1X–3X, also offered in XS–XL, and three colors).

Promising review: "I originally bought this dress to wear on an outing with my friends. When I tried it on, I loved it. The top is meant to be a midriff, but since I'm shorter, the top hits just above my navel. I tied the skirt up to the same area for a more modest look, and it was perfect. It's also versatile; it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. My first Lulus purchase was a winner!" —Vanessa J. 

Get it from Lulus for $88 (available in sizes XXS–XXL).

Get it from Macy's for $59.50 (available in sizes 0X–4X and white).

Promising review: "Absolutely stunning in the black, I have it in pink, blue, and now black. This is so well made, like a lot of CC clothing, fits really well, washes up amazing, and is great casual or under a suit jacket that matches. THIS IS MY GO-TO PIECE." —Kazi

Get it from City Chic for $65.99 (originally $109.99; available in sizes 10–26 and in black cherry).

Promising review: "Bought these and the matching top for a vacation outfit. They are very cute and airy, the fabric almost feels silky. Plenty of room with pockets, and the elastic waistband is very comfortable for travel. I wore them with the matching shirt tucked in, so it looked like a romper. I also styled them with a plain color top. Very cute both ways!" —Dottie Y.

Get it from ModCloth for $64 (available in sizes S–3X).

Promising review: "I love the color, built-in shorts, fabric, and the bow back!! I'm so glad I got it on sale though cause it is a bit expensive, but such great quality if you're willing to spend the money!" —Dani

Get it from Aerie for $58.50 (originally $78; available in sizes XXS–XXL and four colors).

Get it from Charles & Keith for $73 (available in sizes 5–11 and grey).

Promising review: "Very cute cinched-waist shirt. It would definitely be too short, but now that I've started ordering a tall length, things fit so much better (I'm NOT a tall person, but I'm so over everything being a crop top). Shirt fit true to size, and laundered well." —Judee S.

Get it from Old Navy for $34.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL petite and tall, XS–4X regular, and three colors/prints).

Promising review: "I’ve been wanting capris since it’s #capri_summer but was afraid to look too short or frumpy in them. Thankfully, these don’t make me look that way. I think styled with a babydoll top really elevates the look, too! Looove the 95% cotton material too, they are so comfy. Buy them if you’re thinking about it, and Urban, please make cute colors (especially teal/mint)!!" —yams
