Promising reviews: "Folks, it’s worth the plunge, absolutely lovely. I want more. Please restock the brown one, it’s calling my name. Simply amazing, sexy yet modest, great quality. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯" —slim0304

"Bought in three colors! Love this skirt. Dress up or down. Elegant, swirly, pockets." —Kabocr

Get it from Free People for $128 (available in sizes 0–14 and five colors).

Get it from Nordstrom for $24.99 (available in sizes 0–18 and black).

Promising review: "I love how this dress fits. The material is good quality. It feels like an easy dress to throw on, whether for a casual gathering or dressing it up with nicer shoes and jewelry." —Cora

Get it from Boden for $99 (available in sizes 0–20/22, petite, straight, and long fits, and five colors).

Promising review: "Wonderful raincoat: The cotton fabric is tightly woven, meaning it is really rain repellent and breathes (so important on warm, humid days). Well constructed. Great value for the money. I have this coat in three colors." —Mary B.

Get it from Everlane for $119+ (originally $198; available in sizes XXS–XXL and five colors).

Promising review: "I wear these shoes almost every day, and for such a low price, they have held up pretty well considering how much I use them. A New Day almost always knocks it out of the park with the shoes." —Roxanna

Get it from Target for $29 (available in sizes 5–12).

Promising review: "What a terrific blouse. It dresses up beautifully, yet works so easily with my jeans and boots! Large blouses always fit perfectly, but it was so tight in the arms/underarms that I needed to return it for an XL. I love it." —Kelly M.

Get it from Quince for $49.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors).

Promising review: "Got the indigo color and so happy with them. Had to go up a size (no stretch in the denim), but could wear them every day! Tempted to get the white as well. These will last for years." —Maree d.

Get it from Gap for $69.95 (available in sizes 24–35, select tall and petite fits, and three colors).

Promising review: "I was initially on the fence about this dress as the photos made it look very big… However, in person, the gold color is stunning. The mix with linen really makes it more appealing. It's meant to be voluminous, but I didn't find it overwhelmingly so. Definitely a keeper!" —TracyD

Get it from Banana Republic for $198 (available in sizes XXS–XXL, select petite sizes, and four colors).

Promising review: "Wow. So much better than expected. This is a super denim jacket — well-made and perfect fit. Was skeptical at first about it being a plus-size jacket, but it fits lovely. Slightly stretchy denim allows for a jumper to be worn underneath for slightly colder weather. It is comfortable, it fits well, it feels hardwearing and durable, everything Levi's stands for. Highly recommend this product" —Anditheo

Get it from Levi's for $89.95+ (available in sizes 1X–4X in two colors and sizes XS–XL straight in six colors).

Get it from Banana Republic Factory for $22.50 (originally $45).

Promising reviews: "I love this sweater! Super soft cashmere with a good style. I wear it with blue crops or my trouser jeans." —Bengalboo

"This is the perfect short-sleeve cashmere sweater for any air-conditioned environment. Love the color, length, and it is not cropped." —Tootsie3

Get it from J.Crew for $128+ (available in sizes XXS–3X and nine colors/prints).

Promising review: "Great light denim color and quality. This will be a staple piece! Runs large, I sized down a size. Love the scallop detail, so chic." —Didi W

Get it from Old Navy for $28.19 (originally $46.99; available in sizes 0–30 and two colors).

Promising review: "At first I purchased the brown and polka-dot in a medium, but as mentioned, it does run a bit large, and I don’t have much of a chest, so the small is a perfect fit for me. I feel like the shoulders and chest are a very 'European' fit, which is so cute and summery! It also has pockets and is loose, but will not float up when the wind blows. I love it so much and can’t wait to wear it on vacation this summer!" —Melvglam777

Get it from Anthropologie for $138+ (available in sizes XXS–XL, select petite fits, and five colors/prints).

Get it from J.Crew for $141.99+ (originally $158; available in sizes XXS–3X straight, XXS–L petite, XS–XL tall, and four colors).

Promising review: "Love the style and quality of this jacket. Looks good with jeans, but could be worn with business attire too." —Mary

Promising review: "This has easily become my favorite bag! It’s spacious, so chic, and goes with literally everything. Buy it!" —Meghan

Get it from Madewell for $198 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "Never had a better tank. It's double lined, so it has the perfect thickness where it doesn't show all your ripples beneath the shirt. Excellent tank. I'll buy all the colors." —Coralline C

Get it from Gap for $34.95 (available in sizes XXS–L petite, XS–L petite, S–XXL tall, and 12 colors).

Promising review: "Obsessed with these! The brown color is perfect and versatile, and they’re so comfy. I’m 5’5” and have the wide-leg Sunday sweats in short, but these were perfect in the regular length. Also sized down from my usual large, which was perfect. Highly recommend these!" —Jenae

Get it from Abercrombie & Fitch for $48 (originally $60; available in sizes XXS–XXL, three lengths, and three colors).

Promising review: "I love everything about this dress — fabric is soft and lightweight, the placement of the ruching is very complementary and adds some interest, and sizing is true to size. The length is longer than on the model (falling about 3 inches above the knee), which suits me perfectly as I am over 60 years old and not wanting to show a lot of leg." —Cynthia

Get it from Madewell for $128 (available in sizes 00–16).

Promising review: "Love, Love, Love!!! I’m actually on a trip to Croatia, and this is my travel warmth layer. Perfect for on the chilly airplane and then perfect for an evening out for dinner and a walk. Normally size L, I purchased XL because I wanted it slightly oversize." —Carolyn L.

Get it from Quince for $119.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and eight colors).

Get it from Nordstrom Rack for $21.97 (available in sizes 5–9).

Get it from Torrid for $15 (originally $25.90; available in sizes M–6X and seven colors/prints).

Promising review: "Dressed up or down, I’ve worn these a ton. Very comfortable. I thought they ran true to Everlane sizing, which can run a bit big. For reference, I’m 5’8” and went with a small, and it’s perfect." —Sandi M.

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

Promising review: "Being a larger-hipped girl makes it hard to find jeans to fit the waist, hip, thighs, and calves. These are perfect for me!! Bought the pinstripes and another color." —anonymous

Get it from Target for $40 (available in sizes 16–30).

Get it from Nordstrom for $86 (available in sizes 14–28 plus and three colors/prints).

Get it from Kule for $118 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 11 colors/prints).

Promising review: "I have a few pairs in my regular size large. I suppose I could go down to a medium, but I like the relaxed fit and the waist fits perfectly. I wear these to work and to the gym. I give them an A+ for versatility." —Marjorie114

Get it from Gap Factory for $64.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in beige).
