Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A super soft and stretchy bodysuit tank that has over 24,000 5-star reviews. It has a lined chest area to avoid transparency and hugs your silhouette for a simple yet sleek look for your next brunch date with bottomless mimosas.
This bodysuit tank also has a snap-button fastening at the bottom (makes it easy to wear!).
Promising review: "Bought this bodysuit in three colors: white, brown, and olive green. The brown is definitely more of a burnt orange. These are amazing!! I don’t even bother wearing a bra with them, because the support is so nice. Since I am short, the bottom part is a little longer, but I don’t mind it because then I don’t have to deal with chafing. I’m definitely buying more colors! I’ve worn these with shorts, joggers, and jeans. Worn to date night and a Chicago Cubs game when it was 90 degrees! The material is breezy, so I don’t get hot. Think of like a bathing suit/workout tank material. So it allows for easy breathing and does not get hot. A summer staple!" —Ms. Martinez
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 24 colors).
2. A breathable, flowy A-line dress because adjustable straps and soft cotton-blend material can be our besties in the summer. You can pair it with statement earrings and wedges to go out for lunch or slip on some cute sandals for running errands.
This dress is machine-washable.
Promising review: "A staple. The adjustable straps are EVERYTHING! It's light & flowy. You can dress it up or keep it causal. I've never had a dress I can go braless in until this one! It even has pockets!!! The price is amazing for a maxi. 1,000/10 recommend!" —Sarah Caswell
Get it from Target for $35 (available in sizes XS–4X and in two prints).
3. A lace-up bikini with removable cup pads that comes in a bunch of adorable, unique patterns. This set is especially perfect if you have a tropical destination you plan on traveling to this summer (jealous of you!).
And it has over 8,000 5-star ratings!
Promising review: "After having three kids (and nursing three kids) I haven’t felt comfortable wearing a bikini in years. I’ve had trouble finding suits that aren’t high-waisted and also give me the proper support I need, especially on top, so I decided to give this suit a try after reading all the rave reviews. I am so impressed by this suit! Not only does it give me support on top without feeling like I am about to pop out, but it is super cute! I can’t wait to wear this on my anniversary trip to Hawaii this summer!" —MMarie86
Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 21 colors).
4. A viscose button-down cover-up to add a touch of elegance to your typical beach look. I'd plan on throwing it on over my bathing suit and pretending I'm on a beach somewhere in Greece like I'm in Mamma Mia.
This cover-up is machine-washable. Some reviewers say it runs a bit small, so size up if you want a looser fit!
Promising review: "I bought this for my trip to Mexico and got more use out of it than any other piece of clothing I had. I wore it as a cover-up, over tanks with either leggings or shorts, and even tied up with a sundress. I really liked the fact that the sleeves stayed rolled up without having to constantly re-roll them. Looking forward to my next summer vacation knowing I can pack less since this shirt is so versatile. It also washed really easily, however, I hung it to dry so I could keep the crinkled (not wrinkled) look. It may dry ok, I just didn't want to have to iron the cuffs and collar." —tinkwith2d
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes S—XXL and in 15 colors).
5. A lightweight ruffled crop top you'll want to show off because of its elegant V-neckline and self-tie bow knot at the back. Crop tops are an all-time staple in my summer wardrobe sooo...add to cart!!
Promising review: "I grabbed this top for a last minute trip to Turks and Caicos and I wore it multiple times on the trip! It’s comfortable and lined so I didn’t have to worry about wearing a bra. It is super cute casual with shorts and also nice dressed up for dinner. I typically don’t but clothes from Amazon but this looked like decent quality and it is, I have a feeling I’ll keep this for many years as a summer staple!" —Rachel Rice
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 35 colors).
6. A puff-sleeve maxi dress with an elasticized bodice, empire waist, and ruffled frill on the neckline so that you can live you cottagecore fantasy.
And don't worry about it being see-through. It has a lined slip underneath it, so it's not too sheer. Some reviewers do say that they had room to size down, especially if you're smaller-chested!
Promising review: "Putting this dress on transports you right into a fairy tale. I will be living the fantasy all summer long with no regrets. This dress is incredible. It fits really well. I think there is wiggle room to size down if you are smaller chested like me. I love the material — it is quality and the little details are so cute. I will likely buy this in pink so I can be Liesl von Trapp from the Sound of Music for Halloween — this dress is about as close as it gets to her gazebo scene gown. If you're on the fence, just buy the dress, it is fabulous." —Wrighty
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in S–XL and in 27 colors).
7. A flexible cropped tank with a padded bra because it has almost 40,000 5-star ratings and a lightweight, moisture-wicking power fabric that's perfect for your next yoga sesh or to pair with your favorite jeans for a casual sunny day.
I tried this tank out for the first time a couple of years ago (that's me in the first pic shown above!) and when I tell you I have bought almost every. single. color. I am not exaggerating. It's the perfect versatile essential to have in your wardrobe. Do size up though!
Promising reviews: "I first bought it in black and absolutely loved it! Ordered two more in white and burnt red. As other reviews said, size up. I am 5'3" 120 lbs 32D with an athletic build. Medium fit perfectly and sits right above my belly button. I probably could have gone with a small, but wanted it to fit a little longer. I plan to use these when working out and for daily use in the summer. Also they're super soft! Loved this quality much more over my Lululemon Align tops." —Claudia
Get it from Amazon for $18.39+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).
8. A hybrid swim and exercise dress so you can exercise all morning and hit the pool right after. It has a built-in-bra, adjustable straps, leg grippies, shorts, and pockets (yes, pockets!). I might end up jumping into the pool like I'm Gabriella in High School Musical 2.
The fabric even has SPF 50+ sun protection! Machine wash cold and lay flat to dry.

Promising review: "The compressive pocket leggings are as great as ever. By far my favorite leggings. I own probably15 pairs of them by now...whoops. No regrets, they're the most comfortable and the pockets make them functional as well. I'm 5'2" and ordered my usual GF size (XS) and they fit perfectly." —Autumn S.
Get them from Girlfriend Collective for $88 (available in sizes XXS–6XL, in two lengths, and in six colors).

Promising review: "These are my favorite tops to wear in the summer! I now have them in five colors because they’re so comfy and cute.

This romper is machine-washable.
Promising review: "I was so impressed when I received this romper. The fabric is so soft, flowy, and comfortable. I absolutely love it. I mean, c’mon, it has POCKETS! I wore it all the time last summer when I knew I was going somewhere simple and wanted to look more put-together than normal but also be comfortable. This was perfect for that. This year I will most certainly purchase another one in a different color. With that said, I would say it runs fairly true to size, but is designed to be a bit oversized so if you want a tighter fit then size down." —Diane A.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 15 colors).

Promising review: "Beautiful and perfect for hot weather. The fit was great and I liked that the slit hit me at the knee (I'm 5'5"). I bought the black one with flowers. This was a great find. I bought a medium, and arm holes were perfect. Hard to find a sleeveless dress that isn't droopy at the arm opening. The neckline is great. Highly recommend." —Bett

They also have almost 30,000 5-star ratings!
Promising review: "I have many of these tees in the crewneck style but wanted V-neck for spring and summer. This style did not disappoint! Fabric is not sheer or clingy. It’s also not too heavy of a weight, it’s just perfect! The feel is cotton, it’s not like a sports shirt fabric. Shrinkage is very minimal if any at all. Also does not wrinkle. I’m 5’4" and127 lbs with a long torso. I got medium and fit is perfect! Not too tight or form-fitting and also not sloppy looking! Tee was not too long on me. I went with black and now I’ll be ordering many more colors! These are a real value for a pack of two tees at such a low price!" —MsDC16

Promising review: "This is one of my favorite & best purchases from Amazon! It’s not a rigid cotton dress shirt. It’s so light, so comfortable & soft. It’s light enough to wear in summer & not worry about sweating thru it. Best part is that it doesn’t need to be ironed & doesn’t wrinkle. Can be worn under a blazer, a vest, V-neck sweater, cardigan or sweater dusters. Or even alone. I wore a nude bra & couldn’t see thru it. I bought a large & it fits perfectly." —A. Ahmed
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL, in 15 colors, and in two sleeve lengths).
21. A pair of Levi's denim shorts because they have 17,000 5-star ratings and, honestly, is it even summer without this iconic piece of clothing? Slide these on and your summer will feel like a "Party In The USA."
They don't have a lot of stretch to them, so you might want to size up if you prefer a looser fit.
Promising review: "Love these. Very good quality denim. Short shorts! On me, they are a bit shorter than they appear in the photos, but I still love them. They still fully cover your behind (your cheeks wont peek out, thankfully!) but they are very short. Great for the summer and the high rise is perfect to pair with a crop top." —Katie

And yes — it has, you guessed it...POCKETS!!
Promising reviews: "I LOVE this dress. I am a plus size woman and I'm short, so finding a casual but cute summer dress isn't always easy. For reference, I normally wear a size 22 and am 5'3" and purchased the 22W size. It is super comfy and casual but you can dress it up or down to make appropriate for many situations. Plus it has pockets which honestly should be in every dress. I am wearing it so much I am about to purchase a few others in different colors. Highly recommend, especially if you are plus size!" —slewis
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in 14–26 and 40 colors/prints).

It's machine washable and has over 13,000 5-star ratings!
Promising review: "This jacket is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something to wear casually with summer dresses or as a quick throw on with jeans. It fits perfect for that. I got the XL and it sits nicely. It is a little stretchy and the fabric is sooo soft. I got so many compliments on it the first time I wore it. And a couple people asked where I got it. Already ordering the other colors! I need one of each!!! Love it!" —Lindsey Pierce
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and eight colors).

Get it from Amazon for $33.88 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 20 colors).
25. A pair of high-waisted biker shorts (with pockets, might I add) that you should get because of their versatility alone. Going to yoga class? Need something to wear under your sundress for that extra comfort? Laying in bed all day with the fan blasting? These shorts have got you covered.
These are machine-washable and have over 58,000 5-star ratings!
Promising review: "I've tried a million and one different shorts and nothing compares. I'm an avid athlete and mom of four. I'm fairly petite and a lot of the big brands are too big for me. I've tried a lot of the popular ones on Amazon and they ride up or fall down. Not what you want while mid run. I have three pairs of these and am anxiously awaiting restock of 2.0 in my size and more colors. The original are a bit more compressive/thicker and more structured. The 2.0 is comfortable and thinner without being see through. I marathon trained through the summer and humidity of DC in them and they were great. I even ran my marathon in August in them. They stay put, don't feel wet with sweat and have large pockets for fuel, phone, whatever you could want. I love them and highly recommend." —RP14
Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–6XL, two lengths, and 40 colors).
26. And a pair of high-waisted flowy shorts so you can stay comfy while looking cute on your next jog or just lounging in the house on an extra hot day. Oh, and there's a pocket!

Promising review: "Seriously get these shorts. I’ve never been more in love with an Amazon order in my life. They’re amazing material, so so comfy. There’s a pocket!! And they fit great. I love that they have shorts under and the flowy skirt/ short over is super cute. Definitely size up!! I’m usually a small/medium. I got a large and they fit perfectly!!! Definitely get these!! I will be living in these now and buying every color for the summer." —Isabelle
Get it from Amazon for $14.29+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 30 colors).
27. A breathable, loose-fitting tank top with UV protection for those outdoor workouts. It wicks away sweat so you stay comfortable all day.
It's also machine-washable!
Promising review: "Two of these tops have been in steady rotation all summer long. The fit is great, they don't show too much skin, but they're still cool to wear in hot weather. They have also held up great through many, many machine washings. Highly recommended! You'll just want a racerback or criss-cross bra with these if you don't want bra straps to show in the back." —Jenabler
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes XS—XXL and in 12 colors).
28. A pair of drawstring golf pants made of stretchy, wrinkle-free material that makes them great for the office, travel, lounging, or really...anything!

Promising review: "Really love these pants. They're perfect for traveling, hiking, and working out. They're very versatile — look polished enough to wear into a restaurant or really anywhere. Great pockets. Easy to wash and dry. I wore them all summer, and was surprised that they were also warm enough to wear most of the winter. Buying more!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $35 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in 17 colors)
29. A set of breathable, no-show socks because it's surprising how much the wrong pair of socks can ruin your outfit. Or how annoying it can be when they decide to slide down your heel and into your shoe. These have silicone heel grips so that they stay put all day long!
Promising review: "I really like the no-show socks for summer. These have the rubber bit on the heel that helps them to stay on, which is something that I look for in these kinds of socks. I really, really, like really like them. They are low enough that they are no-show when worn, unlike some other types that say they are but definitely aren't. They are also nice and snug and sooo comfortable. They are my new go-to no-show sock, so much so that I don't even wear my old pairs anymore. I will most definitely buy more." —Alicia
Get a pack of eight pairs from Amazon for $16.89+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in four colors).
30. A lightweight jumpsuit that reviewers say is perfect for the summer. Its elastic waist, keyhole back, and elegant off-the-shoulder design make for an effortlessly put-together look on your next night out or backyard BBQ. Oh, and it has over 34,000 5-star ratings!
It's machine washable. Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "I was really hesitant about buying this but I LOVE it!! I got my regular size and it fit amazing! It is super stretchy and loose so it can cover all areas. I like pulling it up a little bit and having the top area loose. It doesn't slide off the shoulder but if you want it to, it could. I love everything about this item! It is cute, comfy, great fitting, and a staple for my summer!" —amela
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 35 colors/patterns).

These are machine-washable.
Promising review: "These joggers fit the bill for me. I needed lightweight pants to wear while working in the yard. We live in a heavily wooded area of Florida, and working in the yard without getting eaten up by mosquitoes and other insects is a challenge. These pants are lightweight and breathable enough to wear when it's warm, and at the same time, help to ward off the bug bites." —Hello
Get it from Amazon for $34.98 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 15 colors)
33. A loose overall jumpsuit with breathable cotton material, a side-slit wide leg design, and pockets!! Wear it with a light T-shirt underneath for that '90s look or with a cute bralette on those extraaa hot days.
Just be sure to hand wash it!

Promising review: "This is such a cute and comfortable outfit. I am 5’ 2” and about 220 lbs. I purchased the size large and it works well! I was hesitant as to how this would look on me but I absolutely love it. It can be worn by itself with a bralette, with a tank or shirt under or with a jacket or sweater.
