Get fewer pieces that can make more outfits... good for your space problems *and* your wallet.

I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 

Promising review: "I bought this dress in black and white. It was not see-through for me. Fit is flowy and cute. I layer with a cute jacket or wear it alone with nice jewelry and shoes to dress it up. If you like simple, basic pieces that are versatile and comfortable in warmer weather, these are great!" —COJulie

Get it from Anthropologie for $115 (available in sizes S–L and two colors).

Get it from Shopbop for $38 (available in sizes XS–XL).

Promising review: "Super cute and comfortable! The fit is perfect, the quality is excellent." —Ivy

Get it from Levi's for $39.99 (originally $64.95; available in sizes 23–34 and two colors).

Promising review: "Seriously, the most comfortable sweatshirt I have ever, and maybe ever, will ever own." —Lexie P.

Get it from Old Navy for $14.49+ (originally $49.99+; available in sizes XS–4X, petite and tall sizes, and 10 colors).

Promising review: "After years of living in skinny jeans, I wasn't sure a baggier style was for me — but these completely changed my mind. They have that effortless French-girl vibe I love: timeless, chic, and current without trying too hard. The denim is lighter weight than traditional jeans, with just enough stretch to make them incredibly comfortable from day one. The fit is slim through the hip and thigh, giving a modern silhouette without the oversize, baggy look that doesn't work for me. I especially love them with ballet flats, though they look equally polished with a slingback pump. A beautifully designed jean that feels both classic and fresh." —C

Get them from Gap for $35+ (originally $89.95; available in sizes 24–35, short, regular, and long inseams, tall and petite sizes, and 10 colors).

Promising review: "This looked so cute on my daughter. The fit is great and the slit on the side is a nice length. Love the texture of the fabric and not too thin." —Betjoy

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $19 (originally $29; available in sizes XXS–XL and seven colors).

Promising review: "Best basic I've bought in years. Supima is one of the best cottons in the world, and Uniqlo turned it into an incredibly soft, cool, breathable shirt. The quality feels designer-level but costs a fraction of the price. Looks and feels brand new even after washing. Unbeatable for the price, already bought more colors." —macada

Get it from Uniqlo for $24.90 (available in men's sizes XXS–3XL and 11 colors).

Promising review: "These are the comfiest sweat shorts that are cut in a way that makes them look elevated and easy to throw on for a trip to the store or lounging around the house. I bought a large. I have the matching crew neck. Going to get these sets in many colors." —Comfortqueen

Get it from Aerie for $30 (originally $34.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL and nine colors).

Promising review: "I love overalls. I have several pairs of short-alls too. This romper is loose-fitting, but I don’t find it too loose in all the wrong places. Washes well. I couldn’t decide which color, so I opted for the denim. Now I want other colors. The cuffs are stitched at the hem, and if you’re a stickler for structured cuffs that are always uniform, this will require ironing around the cuffs." —dwilson

Get them from Free People for $98 (available in sizes XS–XL and nine colors).

Promising review: "It’s the perfect casual skirt. You can size down. The fabric is super thick and beefy. This is the skirt version of my hubby’s favorite grey sweats. I bought with a bodysuit and can’t wait to wear this." —Ballersboo

Get it from Target for $30 (available in sizes 1X–4X).

Get it from Nordstrom Rack for $34.97 (originally $68; available in sizes S–L and two colors).

Promising review: "These have become a new favorite go-to work pant! They’re super comfortable, and have a little stretch to them but still hug in all the right places." —sjjjjoooooxxxx

Get them from Nordstrom for $58.99 (originally $88; available in sizes 00–18 and petite sizes).

Promising review: "The inner bra fits great and cannot be seen through the tank top. White tank top is not see through. Love this and plan to wear it all the time!" —Ml32567

Get it from Torrid for $15+ (originally $27.90; available in sizes M/10–6X/30 and 10 colors).

Get it from Nordstrom for $112.50 (originally $150; available in XS–L).

Promising review: "This linen dress is fabulous and stylish and comfortable and pretty!! I got two, one in red and the other in navy paisley. I look like a happy and confident woman wearing this design and cut of dress. Very satisfied with this dress!!" —Yolande B.

Get it from Banana Republic for $109.99 (originally $160; available in sizes XXS–XXL, tall sizes, and three colors).

Promising review: "So good. Looks adorable and intentionally worn both ways! I loved it so much, I have it in three colors now. It stretches out a little after a few wears, but I don’t mind. Makes it look more effortless." —anonymous

Get it from Free People for $38 (available in sizes XS–XL and 15 colors).

Get it from J. Crew for $118+ (available in sizes XXS–3X and five colors).

Promising review: "If I could, I would give these pants 6 stars. They have an expensive look to them, with the stitched crease. These slacks are good for casual wear or a nice evening out on the town with an elegant top or a tailored jacket. A stretch and move with you. I love the quality of the material and the craftsmanship of the stitching." —Ebony

Get them from Eloquii for $53.97 (originally $89.95; available in sizes 14–32).

Promising review: "I was hesitant at first because I thought the sleeves would be too puffy, but they aren’t! They balance out the low cut front and wide legs, so it’s super cute and gives you a nice waistline." —SandiV

Get it from Anthropologie for $148 (available in sizes XXS–XL and two colors).

Promising review: "I put this dress on right out of the package, and it is very comfortable. The fit and drape are perfect. It is A-line which I prefer for my apple shape, plus.... pockets!! The crew neck lies flat and isn't tight at all. The armholes are high but not tight. The curved seam on the front hits about a couple of inches below my bust and gives a nice little detail. The seam down the back doesn't bother me and helps with the shaping. I'm 5'9", and it goes to my low calf. I typically wear and bought a 22/24. With it being 100% cotton, I'm a little worried about shrinking with washing, but I hang everything to dry, so I'm hopeful. If you like things a little looser, you MIGHT want to size up. Though I do think it would be too big for me. The deep red color is beautiful! I may even buy the other colors. It is a good weight T-shirt material that isn't see-through. I'm looking forward to wearing it into the fall with a sweater or jacket and boots. Btw, my husband just told me it was a pretty dress, and he never notices anything!!" —Kerwin70

Get it from Lane Bryant for $64.95+ (available in sizes 10–40, petite sizes, and four colors).

Promising review: "Saw it at the store and so glad I tried it on. Perfect top for year round use. It’s flowy, and the length is perfect. Color is beautiful." —Mp57

Get it from Madewell for $88 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and four colors).

Promising review: "These shorts are so cute, the shape of the leg is great, and they fit perfectly, with a bit of stretch!" —Leila V.

Get them from Petal & Pup for $78 (available in sizes 24–32).

Promising review: "Nice linen dress that easily dresses up or down. Will be a summer staple. Good value." —Karen B.

Get it from Quince for $64 (available in sizes 1X–3X and three colors) or for $54 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors).

Promising review: "A classic simple tee shirt very useful for different occasions, which always looks good." —Helen

Get it from Boden for $45 (available in sizes 0–22 and six colors).

Promising review: "I needed a blouse for a quinceañera at the last minute. I almost gave up, and there it was, hanging there, the last one. It was a size up from what I wear, but I got it anyway. It was the perfect amount of elegance and not too dressy. I was comfortable all night, and now I have a wardrobe piece that can go with a blazer or sweater and jeans. I love the Anne Klein label; it never disappoints. My blouse is the black and gold polka dots. It matched great with a pair of black slacks." —Teresa

Get it from Macy's for $59.25 (originally $79; available in sizes 0X–3X and three patterns).

Get them from Bloomchic for $35.91 (originally $39.90; available in sizes 10/M–30/6X).

Promising review: "I was a little hesitant on this top because I didn’t know how it would stay up and if it would look right, but it actually turned out to be very cute. Nice pattern, and easy throw on with a pair of jeans." —fun necklace

Get it from Loft for $29.97 (originally $59.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL and two colors).

Promising review: "It’s a versatile cardigan to wear year-round. It’s quite loose, I have bought medium, next time I will go for small. I own some other cardigans of the same brand." —Dublin

Get it from Bloomingdale's for $188 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and nine colors).

Promising review: "I love, love, love my new dress! I already have it in emerald green, but as soon as I saw the heavenly pink one, I knew I had to have it. I don’t even have anywhere to wear it yet, but I’ll think of somewhere!" —Candy

Get it from City Chic for $119.99 (originally $199.99; available in sizes 10–26 and six colors).

Promising review: "This top has very soft fabric and lies beautifully. Doesn't wrinkle easily and looks really nice on. It will go with jeans, pants, and shorts. Very glad I purchased it and will probably order other colors." —Anonymous
