Promising review: "The fabric and print are beautiful, it’s a loose fit, has side pockets. Comfortable!" —pacific rose

Get it from Anthropologie for $188 (available in sizes XXS–XL, select petite sizes, and five colors/prints)

Promising review: "This jacket is definitely a keeper. I’m always cold in air conditioning, so I was looking for something lightweight and preferably non-synthetic. This is a linen blend, so it’s softer than traditional linen, and it’s absolutely perfect for summer here in South Carolina. The fit is great overall on my curvy body. The sleeves are a little long, but I just rolled them up, which actually works well in the heat. The sleeves are also generously sized, so if you have fuller arms, this jacket would be a great option. I was a little surprised that the back isn’t lined, but honestly, living in the South, I’m glad it’s not — it makes it more comfortable in warm weather. I love this jacket so much that I would buy it in other colors if they had more solid options. I may still go back and get the black and white one! Get it, you’ll love it!" —HERMJESTY66

Get it from Torrid for $25.99+ (originally $89.90; available in sizes M–6X and three colors/patterns).

Promising review: "Finally found work pants that have a stretchy waistband! They’re soft, comfortable, and don’t stretch out throughout the day. Normal slacks don’t fit my body well, so I was very happy to find these. They run large on me; I’m normally a 10 or 12, but an 8 in these fit perfectly. I’m 5’0”, so they fully cover my ankles, but I’m OK with that! Highly recommend!" —RabidPanda

Get them from Nordstrom Rack for $39.97 (originally $110; available in sizes 0–16).

Promising review: "Wore this to work and got so many compliments. Wore it after work to the late-night market, too! Comfy and breathable, and you can wear it for many different occasions. Usually a medium and bought the medium, fits perfect. I might buy a second one to have in my closet. More colors, please!!" —Alena

Get it from Target for $30 (available in sizes XS–4X and in solid brown).

Promising review: "This skirt is lined! That right there is amazing and shocking since most skirts aren’t lined and are paper-thin; this has a good weight to it. I’m generally a size 2–4 in skirts, and size XS was perfect on me. It does have some static because anything satin tends to, but I will use some static spray to help with that. I plan on wearing this with a coordinating navy sweater; it’s just a really easy piece to dress up or down, and I love that it’s not skintight and lined! Definitely recommend, but it does have static, so be prepared to use a static spray." —thetanpony

Get it from Nordstrom for $37.95+ (originally $69; available in sizes XS–XL, petite sizes, and three colors).

Promising review: "I love this jumpsuit! I'm currently transitioning my closet to things that are comfy and look good, and this checks all those boxes for me. It's lightweight and breathable, without being transparent. The zipper is long, but easy enough to zip by myself, which means going to the bathroom in this thing isn't too difficult. It's perfect for day and night, and comfortable enough to wear for both. Dressed up or down, it's quickly become one of my favorite pieces. " —Jessie

Get it from Bloomchic for $28.72 (originally $35.90; available in sizes M–6X and seven colors/prints).

Promising review: "Beautiful loafer and comfortable straight out of the box. No need for breaking in. I go back and forth between sizes 9 and 10, but the size 9 was perfect." —tk66

Get them from Nordstrom Rack for $109.07 (originally $190; available in sizes 5–11 and in tan).

Promising review: "Such a cute work top to layer in the summer months!" —Keris

Get it from Abercrombie for $52 (originally $60; available in sizes XXS–XL and in black).

Promising review: "I bought this item right in time for my birthday and have been wearing it so much since! It’s perfect for warmer days, when you want to cover up or hop on a quick work-from-home call when you’re lounging around. I’d say it runs slightly large. I got an XL, and it’s fairly roomy, even for me with a 38G bra band." —Jessaza

Get it from Madewell for $98 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and five colors/patterns).

Promising review: "It's very nice looking. The size fits very well, and it's comfortable around the waist with a minimal elastic band in it, which I like." —hadeel AM

Get them from Gap Factory for $27.99+ (originally $69.99+; available in sizes 00–20, tall and petite fits, and six colors/patterns).

Promising review: "Love this elevated fit! Received lots of compliments. Super comfortable shirt that is just the perfect weight and fit." —CATCAV

Get it from Torrid for $12 (originally $29.90; available in sizes M–6X and in black/white).

Promising review: "Comfortable outer layer. I love the shirt's boxy fit. Gives a professional look to my outfit." —Victoria R.

Get it from Quince for $42+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 1X–3X and 13 colors/patterns).

Promising review: "Absolutely great quality! Perfect fit for the look. I was going for tailored but wide-leg. Fabulous waistband and incredible quality." —JENNIFERT.

Get them from Quince for $42+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 1X–3X, three inseams, and 11 colors/patterns).

Promising review: "This remains to be my all-time favorite blazer! The color and design are so cute. You can dress it up, dress it down, and wear it for work events. Highly recommend." —April Z

Get it from Lulus for $45 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in taupe).

Promising review: "This dress is lovely! The material isn't heavy, but it holds you in. I'm going to purchase the other color, too." —Marissa

Get it from Target for $21 (originally $35; available in sizes XS–4X and in tan).

Promising review: "Great lightweight spring/summer sweater. I sized up for a looser fit. Beautiful green color." —Kel1963

Get it from Loft for $32.47 (originally $64.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL, petite sizes, and seven colors).

Promising review: "I adore this skirt. The pattern has such a bold print, and it is really easy to slip on and wear. I do recommend sizing down because the waistband is very forgiving." —centurystylist1443

Get it from Anthropologie for $158 (available in sizes XXS–XL, 1X–3X, select petite sizes, and three colors/patterns).

Get it from Lane Bryant for $32.47 (originally $64.95; available in sizes 10/12–26/28 and in blue tie-dye).

Promising review: "I have purchased two pairs of these pants, and as a resident of a state with some of the warmest weather, I am pleased that Old Navy came up with pants that combine cool, comfort, and versatility. They can be dressed up for the office or paired with a T-shirt and tennis shoes. I am considering buying another pair. That would be an easy choice if there were more colors to choose from." —Gigi S.

Get them from Old Navy for $34.99 (originally $49.99; available in sizes XS–4X, select tall and petite sizes, and four colors)

Get it from Nordstrom for $81+ (originally $108; available in sizes XS–XL and in papaya).

FYI, because of the batwing sleeves, the sides are a little more open. Some reviewers prefer wearing a tank top or camisole underneath.

Get it from Asos for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–L and six colors).

Get it from Banana Republic for $94.99 (originally $160; available in sizes XXS–XXL and select tall sizes).

Promising review: "Such an amazing, versatile skirt! It is lightweight and form-fitting but not clingy and falls beautifully. Such an awesome, comfortable stretchy material. The print is so beautiful and vibrant. Can be dressed up or down. I am 5'5 and 101 pounds, and XXS regular fits perfectly. It is midi length for me. Love it and highly recommend!" —Anna

Get it from Banana Republic for $140 (available in sizes XXS–XXL, petite sizes, and three colors/patterns).

Promising review: "First off, some reviews said to size down as it is a roomy fit. I don't think this is as oversize as the trend right now. I sized down, and it was too snug (also, I am a double D cup, so that has been the main issue). So I hope this helps someone. The large fits me nicely. I'm regularly size 12, 5'5". I love the cut for a curvy girl! The sash has an elastic section so it can fit snugly and comfortably to bring out a more A-line silhouette. Short-cap-like sleeves make a nice neckline and are perfect for summer. Nice tailored look and breathable fabric." —Marta S

Get it from Banana Republic Factory for $56+ (originally $140; available in sizes XS–XL, petite sizes, and six colors/patterns).

Get them J. Crew for $69.50+ (originally $118+; available in sizes 23–37, petite and tall sizes, and six colors/patterns).

Promising review: "This is a beautiful sweater that is true to size, color, and website image. The colors and pattern give this top a real pop, and I've gotten several compliments on it while wearing it. Highly recommend if you like what you see on the Boden website, as it appears exactly the same." —Monica

Get it from Boden for $73.99+ (originally $149; available in sizes XS–XL and five colors/patterns).

Get them from Gap for $27 (originally $69.95; available in sizes 6–10 and in red).

Get it from Loft for $57.49 (originally $140; available in sizes XXS–XXL and petite sizes).

Get it from J. Crew for $99.99 (originally $158; available in sizes XXS–3X and tall sizes).

Promising review: "I love this polo. It’s soft, comfortable, and looks more elevated than a basic tee — great for both casual and dressy outfits." —Me777

Get it from Uniqlo for $39.90 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in navy).
