Promising review: "I absolutely love these shorts! I ended up buying them in two colors. They’re the perfect length and definitely give off zookeeper vibes, but in the best way possible! 😂 They’re super comfortable, true to size, and I highly recommend them." —Kelli

Promising review: "Another reviewer said these pants literally give joy and it's true! They're feather-light, downy-soft cotton in happy but cool patterns. Comfort is sky high and with some platform sandals, could pass for funky loungewear. I've never spent $80 on pjs but this is the moment. Seize the joy :)." —turnthepage

Get it from Target for $40 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors).

Promising reviews: "I loved these in white as they are a perfect neutral. They fit rather oversized but I love them that way. I would size down if one wants a more tailored option. If you are on the fence, just buy them! You won't be disappointed." —586Rexford

Get it from Zappos for $119.95 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and three colors).

Promising review: "As warm weather is approaching it means one thing, margarita time! One cannot go to a tiki bar in just any outfit. A perfect margarita top to match my drink in hand is the only acceptable way to accessorize. The fit is oversized, but I decided one size down for a more fitted look. Pairs perfectly with linen pants, light wash jeans, or just a bikini." —Ashley P.
