Promising reviews: "One of my new faves in my closet. It’s so soft and cute, should’ve gotten other colors too." —kiki

"I bought this for work, and it’s sooo comfy and cute. Now I want all colors!!" —JFM2004

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $39 (available in sizes XXS–XL and five colors/patterns).

Promising review: "This comfortable pant doesn't wrinkle the way linen can and hits the sweet spot of polished + casual for summer. I bought it to go with the puckered organic linen plaid classic collar shirt in 'deep dive.' Both pieces are offered in petite sizes, and I bought my usual size, PS, in both, and like the fit." —Anonymous

Get them from Eileen Fisher for $188 (available in sizes XXS–3X, petite sizes, and four colors).

Get it from Lane Bryant for $38.97 (originally $64.95; available in sizes 12–28). 

Promising review: "TikTok viral 'mom' shorts, fit is great. Perfect length, they are supposed to be high rise, but don’t seem as high rise as my other Time and Tru jeans. I’m actually going to order another pair since they fit so well." —Tammy

Get it from Walmart $17.98 (available in sizes 0–20 and four colors). 

Promising review: "Fits perfect. Love the pockets in the back!" —Sandra

Get it from J.Crew for $49.50 (available in sizes XXS–3X and two colors).

Promising review: "I have loads of Pima short-sleeve tees because they wash well, wear well, and always present a neat shirt. This relaxed fit is great yet definitely not sloppy-looking. Comfortable for summer weather and still great in cooler temperatures with a cardigan." —Petlover

Get it from Lands' End for $39.95 (available in sizes XS–3X, tall and petite sizes, and 24 colors/prints). 

Get it from Levi's for $69.95 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors/patterns).

Promising reviews: "I had bought and returned a certain barrel pant that is almost $300. These are a decent alternative. The fabric is crisp and light. Fit is on the larger side — I like that they barely touch me, especially around the waist. Got a small, usually a 27 in jeans. Length is perfect on me at 5'4" but with long legs." —Stephanie c

"Great easy pants! Be mindful of length! I would say these run a little big. I am between a small and an XS, and the xs has plenty of room. Likewise, I am 5-foot and purchased the regular length. They hit a bit above my ankle. So if you are not petite and don't want a cropped capri, I'd go with a tall one. These are great summer pants for the money, and I will get a lot of use out of them. The color is rich enough that you could pull these off with a kitten heel and tank or wear them more casually." —R

Get them from Banana Republic for $100 (available in sizes XXS–XXL, tall and petite sizes, and three colors). 

Promising review: "These are my number one go-to in warmer months. Pair perfectly with anything and fit like a glove. The bra-free is superb, and the added cups make all the difference if you're smaller chested like myself." —K DeAcipreste

Get it from Abercrombie for $29 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and 18 colors/patterns).

Promising review: "This is my second time purchasing this dress. I also have it in black. It's a lovely dress. The straps have buttons to adjust the length, and the structured top holds you in. It has pockets and lovely movement in the skirt. I got many compliments when I wore it." —Rhiannon R.

Get it from Quince for $84 (available in sizes XS–XL in 13 colors/patterns and sizes 1X–3X in three colors/patterns). 

Get it from Everlane for $98 (available in sizes 00–16 and in bone).

Promising review: "I love this jumpsuit! The ties in the back are adorable, and it fits nicely." —B**y

Get it from Bloomchic for $30.03 (originally $42.90; available in sizes 10/M–28/5X).

Promising review: "Love this dress! The gauzy cotton is so soft, perfect for a hot or steamy day. It just floats off your body, but looks simply elegant too. It looks like it would be sack-ish, but it nips in gently at the waist to add some definition. The working buttons add some interest. With some cute shoes and jewelry, you'll feel put together and so comfortable. Great for travel! I wear the M at 5'0", 140." —Michelede

Get it from Nordstrom Rack for $69.97 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and three colors). 

Get them from Athleta for $39.97+ (originally $99; available in sizes XXS–3X, three lengths, tall and petite sizes, and six colors).

Get it from Lulus for $39 (available in sizes XS–XL). 

Get it from Asos for $59.99 (available in sizes 14–26 and two colors/patterns).

Promising review: "This is very soft. The fabric is thin and soft. I have washed it at least a dozen times, and it is holding up well. I got the medium and it is true to size." —OrchidSlayer

Get it from REI for $36 (available in sizes S–XXL and in olive). 

Promising review: "Absolutely love this dress! The fit is super, and the smocked waist gives it such a comfortable feel while still looking stylish. The material is soft, lightweight, and flows beautifully. The olive color is gorgeous and easy to dress up or down. Perfect for brunch, vacation, or even casual summer events. It also fits true to size and feels very comfortable to wear all day. Great quality for the price!" —Melissa S
