Promising review: "Love these!!! Super flowy, lightweight, and surprisingly well fit. They wash and dry incredibly well, with no wrinkles after drying. I’m planning on buying more." —PBMC

Get them from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 18 colors/prints). 

Promising review: "I was so skeptical of buying these, as I’m not a crop top kind of gal and don’t trust built-in bras! These shirts are magic. I bought two colors. I wore one to a theme park, and it held me in and kept me comfy ALL DAY. I can’t recommend these enough for traveling, lounging, and everyday wear." —Nikki

Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 22 colors).

Promising reviews: "This is perfect for travel. I've worn it as PJs, on a plane with a blazer, and for a nine-hour car trip. Super comfortable and goes anywhere. I'll definitely be getting more!" —My Cat Steve Judges My Purchases.

"I bought the navy blue to take on vacation after reading an article about how easy care these jumpsuits are. I loved it so much I bought the green. I take them out of my suitcase, hang them up, and they are ready to go in a few hours, no ironing needed. I get compliments every time I wear one of them." —AKSunshine

Get it from Amazon for $37.97+ (available in sizes S–3X and 31 colors/patterns). 

Promising review: "Y'all — this shirt is the GOAT. I have like five now, and I keep buying more because I hardly want to wear anything else. I wear them to work (barista, on my feet and moving all day, lots of bending/reaching/lifting), to the gym, out on casual excursions with friends, and around the house for cleaning or relaxing. They are SO soft. They look brand new after washing, no pilling or shrinking at all. The fabric has good thickness and drapes nicely without clinging or riding up. I only have the black ones so far, but they haven't faded a bit. The seams are strong, too. I haven't had to sew any loose areas or clip any threads. The fit is cute and comfortable. I didn't know the world's best T-shirt could be found for $8, but here it is! Buy it!!" —Kit H.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and in 28 colors/styles).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this wrap!! It is the perfect weight and size for travel. It didn't leave my side on an 11-day backpack trip through Europe and was used as a scarf, blanket, towel, and wrap all throughout the trip. Fashionable enough to dress up a basic travel day outfit, warm enough to keep away a chill on a cooler night, and light enough to pack away small into a bag or tie around a purse strap. I can't say enough great things! I am buying these as gifts for everyone I know that travels." —Jenn

Get it from Amazon for $46+ (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "This skirt is absolutely stunning! The quality is amazing for the price. I’ve bought similar skirts at other stores that are $60+, but this one is the best I’ve owned. You won’t regret it!" —Abby

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 20 colors). 

Promising review: "If you’re on the fence about buying these leggings, DO IT. I bought a black pair to see how they’d fit and let me tell you! I have wide hips, big thighs, and a large behind, and these leggings fit perfectly! Even better, THEY ARE NOT SEE-THROUGH when I bend over!! I’ve *never* found leggings that weren’t sheer when I bent over before! I bought eight more in different colors, and they are all the same quality! I love them so much that over a year later, I bought two more black pairs!! I recommend these leggings to everyone. I swear I wear these to work at least three times a week. I love them!!" —hali howard

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in standard and plus sizes, in three lengths, and in 25 colors/patterns).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this jacket!!! It goes with just about everything and is comfortable. I went up a size after reading some of the reviews, and that worked out well for me. The length of the jacket is also a nice feature; it hits right about the hip and is not a midriff. I'm really glad I ordered this jacket. It's so cute, and I know it will last a lifetime. Levi's makes the best denim wear as far as I'm concerned." —Jo Packer

Get it from Amazon for $62.50+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 1X–4X and in nine washes).

I already had these pants in driftwood, black, and martini olive — and I recently picked up two more colors — because I can't get enough. They're extremely comfy, wash beautifully, and deliver a low-fuss look that's still super pulled together. I agree with the majority of reviewers who say they run large, so size down if you're between sizes!

Promising review: "I loved these linen pants so much I ordered them in two colors. My go-to summer pants; they're great, high-quality linen and so comfortable. Easy to dress down at the beach or wear with a tailored top or sweater out to dinner. Already thinking of how I'll style them for fall! A must-buy. Runs slightly large, so size down!" —Ashley C.

Get them from Quince for $42 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 14 colors/designs).

Promising review: "I highly recommend this wonderful outfit. I ordered two sets, but now that I've received them, I'm gonna have to order more colors. I can't get over how super cozy and warm they are." —Betibu

Get it from Amazon for $46.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 13 colors and  patterns).

Here's what former BF shopping editor Danielle Healy has to say: 

"Y'all...I bought this bra because I desperately needed something that wouldn't show through thin, white T-shirts and...this is it! Not gonna lie — it's not a sexy pick, but she is comfy as they come with waaayyyy more support than most wireless styles."

Promising reviews: "I adore these bras. It is a very comfortable fit, super lightweight, and breathable fabric. The perfect bra for me!" —sarah lee

"I am a victim of bra back bulge, and I've tried all the expensive bras from brand names. They claim that they have 'smoothing back' technology, but we all know over time that this stretches out and the bulge comes back. Well, one day I was looking for some clothes online, and the Warner bra came up as a suggestion. I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! This is the MOST comfortable, lightweight, non-bulging bra that I've ever worn. I could literally wear it all day, every day. I wore it traveling the other weekend and it was beyond perfect for a day full of airport delays. Ladies — please buy this bra! You won't regret it!! (I've already bought a few more since!)" —Meredith B.

Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 18 colors).

Macarena Collection is a Buena Park, California–based small biz with all sorts of Mexican-made leather sandals, embroidered Huipil shirts, and home goods.

BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly has a very similar pair from the same small biz, and here's what she has to say: 

"I swear, these are the comfiest shoes I've ever worn straight out of the box. On my first day of wearing them, I walked about 40 city blocks with no pain, blistering, or rubbing. Zilch! I basically live in them now, and it turns out they match basically everything I wear. I most recently wore them on a day trip to Malacca, Malaysia. I walked all over Jonker Street in search of rice balls and baba cendol and up a grueling hill to see the ruins of St. Paul's Church. Despite it feeling about 1000% humidity, these sandals kept my feet cool and comfy for hours and hours...like they always do!"

Promising review: "I am loving these shoes! They are high quality, super comfortable, and go with anything. I bought them in both black and brown and have been wearing them daily!!!! I would recommend them to anyone. I read the reviews before I bought them and bought a half-size smaller than I normally wear. They fit perfectly." —Sarah Niegocki

Get them from Macarena Collection on Etsy for $52.49 (originally $69.99; available in sizes 5–10).

Promising review: "This trench coat is well constructed and very high quality. It looks great over formal attire but can also elevate a casual look. It has a slightly loose fit, as expected with this style, but can be cinched with the belt. It’s lightweight, making it ideal for spring or fall. Just enough to cut the chill and keep you dry in the rain, but not overly warm. This is my second LF trench; the first had a plaid flannel lining, which — while very soft and pretty — always made me sweat. This one is perfect!!" —Ash

Get it from Amazon for $87.64+ (available in two colors and sizes XS–3X).

Promising review: "These sandals are so comfortable and easy to wear. They make my feet feel good. I have other Birkenstock sandals that are at least 20 years old, and they are still going strong. Birkenstock produces great products!" —Janet

Get them from Birkenstock for $49.95 (available in sizes 5/5.5 –12/12.5 and in 14 colors).

Promising review: "These are the perfect jeans! They're soft, comfy, and the waist cinch is such a game-changer! I would highly recommend." —Eves

Get them from Amazon for $55.65+ or Levi's for $84.95 (available in seven washes, sizes 23–34, and lengths 31–33).

Promising review: "OK, I'm not going to lie. I was skeptical about these pants. I hate buying clothes online without trying them on first, but the reviews here said that they run true to size, so I trusted them. I am SO GLAD that I did. These pants are everything I ever wanted. Make my butt look cute? Check. No nasty zipper to dig into my gut? Check. Perfect length for any season? Check. I can wear these with a cute blouse as a teacher and still look professional while still being comfortable. I feel comfortable wearing these basically any time, and I think that if you're lacking a pair of them and thinking about it, you should go get a pair. They're AMAZING." —AlySedai

Get them from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes 2–28, in three lengths, and 22 washes). 

Promising review: "Can’t believe the price for such soft, high-quality cashmere. Will buy many more!" —Deborah G.

Get it from Quince for $50 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 15 colors). 

These boots generally fit true to size, but if you plan on wearing thicker socks or if you're between sizes, it's recommended to size up. 

Thesus is a mission-driven, Ontario, Canada-based small biz creating outdoor footwear that's easy on the planet, the eyes, and your feet! Their materials are 90% sustainable and traceable — and they're working toward 100%. This brand is all about the details, taking years to develop each collection, and traveling the globe to seek out the best materials for the health of both people and the planet.

Promising review: "I took these hiking in the Rockies and they held up very well. The thicker sole also helped cushion my feet from rocky terrain. They look good too!" —Alice

Get it from Thesus for $140 (available in EU sizes 36–46 and 14 colors).

Promising review: "This is an awesome outfit! It is super comfortable, and the material is of great quality. It fits true to size. It’s a great outfit you can dress up or down depending on your activities. It is identical to a very popular brand that is very expensive. I’ve already ordered it in other colors." —ppl

Get it from Amazon for $35.14+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in eight colors).

Promising reviews: "Don’t hesitate, just buy it. I bought it in one color, and as soon as I tried it on, I purchased three more. The material is like butter. It doesn’t have a built-in bra, but it’s lined. You could put on a bra with this if you’d like, but there’s no need. It’s cropped but still long enough that it doesn’t roll up weirdly at the bottom. Can dress this up or down! I’ll probably end up buying every color by the end of the year, it’s just that incredible." —Danijtate

"Initially, I ordered one in white, and it turned out to be my daily go-to when we were traveling last month. Came home and ordered three more colors. Comfort and support." —Darlene King

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 31 colors).

Promising reviews: "Have this skort in a few different colors. Love it! Thin, comfortable, and true to size. The shorts underneath have pockets, which is great. They have so many colors to choose from, will definitely be ordering more." —Sam

"This skirt is incredibly comfortable! The fabric is lightweight and breathable, making it perfect for any physical activity. The built-in shorts provide extra coverage and support, ensuring I can move freely without any worries. They're a game-changer. They stay in place and prevent any chafing, which is a huge plus during intense workouts. The addition of pockets is fantastic — they are spacious enough to hold essentials like my phone, keys, or even a small wallet. It’s so convenient not having to carry a bag! This skirt is perfect for a wide range of activities. I’ve worn it for running, yoga, tennis, and even just running errands. It transitions seamlessly from workout wear to casual wear, making it a versatile addition to my wardrobe." —Jackie

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 31 colors/prints).

Promising review: "Very warm pullover. Great for traveling. Everything about it I love. Quality (very soft inside) and can easily be styled with jeans, yoga pants, and joggers. The color is just like the picture. I ordered my usual size and it fits perfectly!!" —rosie figueroa

Get it from Amazon for $29.98 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 10 colors).

You know that TikTok sound "If I like it…I'll just grab it in a different color"? These shoes are my kryptonite. I have them in four different colors and wear them with EVERYTHING, whether I'm on vacation or at home. They go with skirts and dresses just as well as with jeans, and they've never given me a blister!!! According to the health app on my iPhone, my most recent trip included 57 miles of walking, and my feet were in tip-top shape despite walking all day, every day, through four different countries. Pro tip: If you're a women's size 8 or smaller, you can get them in big kid's sizes (I'm an 8 women's, so I get a 6 in kids), and they're like half the price!!

Promising review: "They are soooo comfortable and soft on the inside. I wish I’d bought them sooner. They were comfortable from the moment I put them on… didn’t even have to break them in.” —Sarahsmile

Get them from Amazon for $59.98+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in seven colors).

Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style, and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" —Courtney 

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 24 colors). 

Promising reviews: "This 'fit is for all around! Lightweight, color is fab, and it fits great. Perfect travel outfit — able to wear pieces separately. It may get wrinkly, but that’s a quick fix, tumbling it in the dryer for a short time. Not transparent at all, fabric is soft, and it's an awesome value." —VA

"Such good value for the price. I purchase a size up to wear during pregnancy and will likely live in this postpartum. It’s so soft, comfortable, and doesn’t shrink in the wash." —Hello & Goodbye Sisters

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 21 colors) 

Promising review: "These sandals are a game-changer. One of my friends got a pair and I thought they were the cutest shoes ever, I did a double-take when she told me they were Crocs. Really? That ugly clog-making company? Well, call me a Crocs convert because I want a pair in every color. I’ll die in these shoes because I’m never going to take them off. It feels like you’re walking on clouds; they’re so comfortable and supportive. The gradual platform looks edgy but is super easy to walk in — I can still run after my toddler all day. These elevated sandals have changed my life. They go with everything — jeans, shorts, dresses. Buy the shoes, guys." —OS

Get them from Amazon for $37.67+ (available in sizes 4–11 and in six colors/patterns).

Promising review: "These are my absolute favorite type of shorts to wear, especially at work, and it's been hard for me to find ones that I really love, especially online. The fit, or even just the material, is always off... BUT THESE are PERFECT. The material is PERFECT. Not see-through at all. Super soft. Stretchy. And they have pockets! They are an absolute win; I bought every color immediately. 10 out of freakin 10. And no, they do not roll up. These are everything you want in this type of shorts, I assure you." —Candace S.

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–4X, in three lengths, and in 21 colors/styles).

Promising review: "I get so many compliments! It's so comfy! Perfect for walking and hiking or even running errands! I want to buy it in every color!!!" —Addison Dalton 

Get it from Amazon for $34.89 (available in sizes S–XL and ten colors). 

Promising review: "Really well constructed. Comfortable fabric. I don't wear shorts, so these will be great for summer. The fit is great. I ordered these pants in three more colors the day after the first pair arrived. Excellent value!" —Montana Fam

Get it from Amazon for $29.74+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 14 colors).

Klassy Network is a woman-founded small biz from Natalie Rogers. Each of the brand's brami tops is designed with removable padding and you can even buy extras if you need/want!

Check out the brami in action on TikTok!

Promising review: "Love this top so much! The medium fits perfectly! I was expecting the thin pads similar to what is in a swimsuit or sports bra, but these pads feel more like an actual bra and gives good coverage and support! The length hits perfect 👌 10/10 would recommend" —Heather K.

And here's more from former BuzzFeeder Chantel Turner, who's a big fan!:

"I wish that every top I owned was a Brami top so I could trash all of my traditional bras. I own a few of their shirts in different styles, and they are absolutely amazing! Somehow, the shirts provide the support of a bra without you having to actually wear a bra. It feels extremely comfortable. The fabric is soft and very well-made. I truly do wish that there was a way to apply this fabulous non-bra bra technology to every single blouse." 

Get it from Klassy Network for $42 (available in sizes XXS–3XL and in 10 colors).

Promising review: "I normally cannot wear flats because they give me terrible blisters on the back of my feet. These didn't! Bought these in nude for a city vacation with a lot of walking, but where sandals aren't necessarily worn, and these were perfect! They obviously don't have the support of sneakers, but I am so happy to finally have a cheap pair of flats that don't give me blisters. I did break them in with thin socks on around my house before wearing them out, and when possible, I wear them with little sock liners. Also — I was able to fold these in half like Tieks and fit them in a semi-small purse to change into to dance at a wedding! Score!" —Kate

Get it from Amazon for $21.80 (available in sizes 5–15, including wide sizes, and 21 colors). 

Promising review: "This jacket is not only comfy and cute, but also perfect for travel. It folds down so small you can put it in your backpack or carry-on. I love having the hood if you need it, but it's nice that it folds into the collar when you don't. I definitely recommend it." —Athleta Customer 

Get it from Athleta for $119.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and six colors). 

Promising review: "I ordered these to have a neutral flat that wasn't boring. I figured they'd be great for trips and can be dressed up or down. I took them on a business trip this week and wore them with black trousers, and they were great! The slingback didn't slip, and they were comfortable to have on." —Laura S.

Get them from Rothy's for $139 (available in sizes 5–13 and in 14 colors).
