    27 Pieces Of Clothing Reviewers Say They “Live In” During The Summer

    Watch out, heavy jean shorts sitting in your closet — there are some ~ultra cool~ new players in town.

    1. A soft and stretchy maxi dress here to become your go-to cute and casual summer outfit. Oh, and BTW, it has a sneaky little side slit and pockets!!! Yep, you're definitely gonna need this in at least one solid color and one pattern!

    2. A high-waisted skort since it possesses all the comfort and practicality of your fave pair of bike shorts (it even has pockets!) yet all the cuteness of a stylish skirt! Reviewers have worn it for just about any type of event you can imagine: biking, golf, drinks, nail appointments, vacay walking tours...

    3. A gorgeous flowing maxi dress if you want to be the belle of the ball...or the backyard BBQ. Doesn't matter where you are, all eyes are gonna be on you in this number, which is just more reason to wear it every single chance you get.

    4. A pair of casual wide-legged cotton overalls that will have you feeling like you're dancing at Woodstock and enjoying those chill hippie vibes whenever you wear them (which, of course, will be every day of the week). ☮️ 😌

    5. A workout set because when your outfit is on-point, going to the gym becomes infinitely more exciting (even on days you really don't want to go). Rocking this super cute ribbed crop top with matching high-waisted yoga shorts will have you feeling put-together and ready to absolutely slay, all day every day. 💪

    6. A three-pack of athletic racerback tanks if you've been on the hunt for some soft and breathable workout tops that are actually long enough to cover your belly button — and voilà, here they are!

    7. A ruffly wrap dress so you can flit and flirt about to your heart's content, especially since the adjustable tie-front design essentially guarantees the *perfect* fit.

    8. A running short featuring a zippered pocket that many reviewers praise as being nearly identical, or even better according to some, than their Lululemon counterpart. And best of all, these ones don't require you to drop a ton of cash!

    9. A casual romper about to become the MVP of your summer wardrobe. Why, you ask? Well, it's unbelievably comfy and on-trend, even if you pair it with nothing but a pair of sandals or sneakers!

    10. A stunning ombre maxi dress because it looks like a vibrant painting come to life...so yes, people will likely stop, stare, and contemplate your beauty. 😍 Oh, and it's also available in a bunch of other colors and patterns, including solids.

    11. A wire-free seamless T-shirt bra so you can swap the poking and digging for buttery smooth comfort — all while still supporting the gals. Translation: For the first time in your life, you won't immediately rip off your bra as your burst through the front door! In fact, you might even look forward to wearing this. I'm shook.

    12. A pair of biker shorts that deliver in all the right ways: high-waisted, pockets that will fit your phone, comfy and stretchy fabric that's just compressive enough to show off your #gainz, *and* long enough to banish thigh chafing once and for all!

    13. A French linen wrap dress with an effortless easy-going French countryside aesthetic that really epitomizes the laidback spirit of summer. At the very least, when you wear this, you can pretend you're relaxing at a vineyard in the south of France.

    14. A loose and flowy jumpsuit (with adjustable spaghetti straps!) since it's soooo comfy but also very boho-cute, especially if you dress it up with a belt! Catch me wearing this 24/7 from now through fall.

    15. An uber-popular Outdoor Voices exercise dress featuring an ultra lightweight woven fabric that basically feels like a second skin and dries super quick. So yeah, really no activity is off limits when you're sportin' this functional and fashionable beaut.

    16. A high-neck thong bodysuit to bring on ~hot girl summer.~ It's pretty much impossible not to feel unbelievably confident when you're rocking a sleek 'n' snazzy bodysuit, but it also means you don't have to worry about constantly re-tucking your tank.

    17. A high-waisted denim short since the raw frayed hem gives them an even trendier and cooler look than regular clean-cut jeans. In other words, you've just found the perfect casual-chic summer shorts. 😎

    18. A stretchy strapless maxi dress if you want a dress that radiates boho summer style all while being extremely comfortable. (And who doesn't want that?)

    19. A crop top sports bra praised by reviewers for being just as amazing as the Lululemon Align yet nowhere near as expensive. Whether you wear it to the gym, on hikes, or paired with high-waisted pants, you'll be rocking a chic athleisure look without breaking the bank.

    20. A darling A-line midi dress perfect for graduations, casual weddings, backyard parties, or really any time you want to skip the shorts and pants — which is every day in the summer, no? Pretty sure this little number is worthy of a degree in cute summer fashion.

    21. A three-pack of ribbed yoga shorts which, according to reviewers, are so darn comfy you'll want to spend every minute of your life in them. They're great for working out or lounging and so. darn. cheap.

    22. A strappy bustier crop top for a sleek 'n' snazzy take on a classic crop top. All the versatility of the crops you already have, yet with even *more* style, baby!

    23. A pair of flowy wide leg elastic pants because you'll look like a beachy boho babe wearing 'em and won't have to worry about your pants getting all sweaty and sticking to your legs (ugh!) when you're out and about enjoying the sun.

    24. A simple and cute flowy T-shirt dress that comes in all sorts of fun, vibrant patterns and designs, any of which are pretty much guaranteed to make you smile.

    25. A two-piece knit shorts and tank set to wear on days when you don't have a single ounce of energy to spare. This trendy little ensemble requires zero outfit planning on your part and is so cool and breathable you won't even break a sweat. Sounds like a win-win if I ever heard one!

    Promising review: "I just bought two more because I love this outfit so much! It doesn’t plunge quite as low as the model picture (thankful for that). I got a compliment right away. My neighbors are probably tired of seeing me in these because I live in them." —Mindy Shepard

    Get it from Amazon for $43.98 (available in sizes S–XL and 32 colors and patterns). 

    26. A square-neck crop top because why bother with a basic longline tank when this cute, slightly compressive, ribbed baby exists? While you try to come up with a reason, I'll be busy wearing this every single day and enjoying how it melts to the body and moves with me.

    27. A V-neck tee dress so you can skip the pants entirely and stick with what you know works: an always chic (and breathable!) V-neck top, only one that's long enough to cover your bum!
