Consider yourself free from pinched waistbands and itchy seams.

I am a writer and editor based in Washington, DC whose work has appeared at Bustle, The Toast, and others; my book Dangerous Games to Play in the Dark was published in 2019.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

I own this jumpsuit, and I love it. It is astonishingly easy to wear, and I never cease to be amazed at the fact that every time I put it on, all I really need to do is add shoes and I look like a proverbial million bucks. And you know what? Sometimes I even wear it on days I don't plan to leave the house, because if I do, it means I can feel both comfy and cute for no reason other than I want to — whether or not I will be perceived by other humans at that time. It's great. 10/10, highly recommend.

Promising review: “Fits this short girl perfectly! This fit perfectly and is incredibly cute and comfortable. I just wanted something to lounge around the house in, but I think if I wore a cute sweater or jacket, I could wear this to work. I will probably buy another in a lighter color since my life includes a lot of dog hair.” —Stephanie Gottfried

Price: $23.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 31 colors)

Promising review: “These are the most amazing, comfiest, softest leggings I’ve ever owned in my 23 years of existence. They fit me perfectly and I was concerned about that given the fact that it’s one size, but they came and fit as if they were exactly my size. I love them so much I’m buying more! You will NOT regret buying these leggings!” —Kathryn Martin

Price: $14.99+ (available in two sizes, 17 colors, two lengths, with and without pockets)

Promising review: “This is SO CUTE! The first time I wore it was to a concert and strangers stopped me to say how much they liked it. Since then, it never fails to get compliments from store clerks and others. I’ve worn it with a black vest of similar material and I get the same amount of comments. It is comfortable and it hangs beautifully. It goes great with jeans and equally well with dressier slacks and simple jewelry. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is attracted to it!” —Light58

Price: $12.99+ (available in sizes S–6X and 42 colors and patterns)

Promising review: “Beautiful dress, very well made, very comfortable, and true to size. Received lots of compliments on the dress. It has a short lining on the inside, which is great. Highly recommend!” —Pamela Labas

Price: $52.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 21 colors/patterns)

Heads up that reviewers note these shorts run small, so you might want to size up.

Promising review: “New favorite! These shorts quickly became my favorite pair. They are SO soft and comfortable. I was worried the pocket was too small for a phone but it fit perfectly and the outer layer laid over the phone so you couldn't even tell it was there. The color is adorable. I ended up falling into a very muddy puddle and after washing them, they look brand-new and didn't bleed onto any other clothes I washed them with. They are a little on the shorter side, so that is the only thing I could say to be mindful of. But I want them in every color.” —Kristen Murphy

Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and 16 colors)

Promising review: “I love this sweater so much that I bought it again in another color! I followed the size chart and read the reviews. I think it’s pretty true to size. I wanted something I could wear open or pull more closed when I’m chilly. It’s soft and comfy. The gray is a fantastic true gray and not more of a blue or green tone. It has no smell and no pulls but arrived in perfect condition. I wear this any chance I can.” —BrandyB

Price: $35.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 24 colors)

Promising review: “Comfortable and stylish! Purchased this top to take on vacay in Florida. It was comfortable and cute to wear all day when the weather was in the low 70s. Got many compliments on the cute style and faux button detail on the side. It's a sage green color and looked perfect with pants or a skirt. Made well with breathable cotton mix; made it easy to wash.” —Anahid Pagalos

Price: $5.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 15 colors)

Promising review: “I absolutely love this dress! The material is light, soft, and airy — perfect for warm weather. The quality exceeded my expectations, and the color looked exactly like it did in the listing, which I really appreciated. I wore it on a recent trip to Siesta Key, and it was the perfect beach dress. It’s versatile enough to dress up for dinner or keep casual for a day by the water. Definitely worth the money — I’m already thinking about getting it in another color!” —Lora

Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes 1X–5X and 28 colors/patterns)

Promising review: “Comfy with POCKETS! This is a comfortable, stylish, and practical dress to add to the everyday/summer wardrobe. The hemline is fun, the fabric is soft, and the pockets easily hold a phone without being too bulky, hooray!” —Jan Newton

Price: $19.99+ (available in sizes S–5XL and 18 colors/patterns)

Y'all, after hemming and hawing over them for a million years, I finally bought myself a pair of these last summer — and before I knew it, they had become my absolute favorite "it's too hot to exist" outfit. They're light and breezy, but offer plenty of sun protection (no more sunburned gams!) — and to top it all off, they even fit my short lil' frame just fine. Originally, that had been my big concern: I'm just over 5 feet tall, and my legs decidedly do NOT go on for days; would these things be way too long on me, like almost everything other full- or maxi-length clothing item I have ever attempted to wear? The answer is no! They are just right, whether I am wearing sneakers OR sandals! Heck yes!

FYI, you’ll want to line dry these after you wash them; if you put them in the dryer, they might shrink.

Promising review: “Incredibly comfortable! I wore this at 20 weeks pregnant on vacation in Aruba and there was still room to grow. Great quality, very happy with the weight of the fabric and overall look.” —PairorLud

Price: $32.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 13 colors)

Promising review: “Happiest in this sweater! Super soft and fits well. I show off the dinosaur to everyone like I'm a little kid. 10/10.” —Ciara Jean Hatch

Price: $17+ (available in sizes S–L and three colors)

The set includes a cap-sleeve knit top and a pair of high-waisted tapered bottoms.

Promising review: “I absolutely love this set!! I originally purchased it thinking it would be a great alternative to wearing sweats on an RV trip we'd planned for the fall. However, once it arrived and I tried it on, WOW no way does this compare to sweats, this outfit feels and looks elegant!! This is still a great travel outfit, but more like, cruise ship or air travel and sightseeing, but def not to be hidden away in an RV 🤣 It's comfy enough to sleep in, but trust me, you'll want to show it off!!” —LP

Price: $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 21 colors)

Promising review: “These are so comfortable and cute! Great for the office or home. I’ve gotten so many compliments and several ladies in the office have purchased them since. I’ll be ordering more in different colors!! The material feels like good quality material.” —Cori

Price: $20.75+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 18 colors)

Promising review: “Versatile! Perfect for dressing up or dressing down to look more casual. Can easily be thrown on top of a bathing suit for a casual summer look. Lightweight and breezy. I’m in LOVE with this top. So comfortable! Actually going back to order a second in a different color.” —Kela

Price: $27.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 10 colors/patterns)

Promising review: “Chic and versatile!   This blue blazer is everything! Super stylish, lightweight, and incredibly comfortable. It’s the perfect piece to dress up or dress down, whether I’m pairing it with ripped jeans and sneakers or styling it for something more polished. The color is vibrant and fun, and it instantly pulls an outfit together. Total wardrobe win! True to size.” —Sara

Price: $39.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 17 colors)

Promising review: “I like how soft this sweater is. The quality is better than I expected. I wore it out to dinner with friends. I paired it with leggings and boots, but it would be nice with jeans too. Great purchase!” —J. Williams

Price: $35.98+ (available in sizes S–XL and 19 colors)

Promising review: “Great pants, great price!   I LOVE these pants! So far, I've ordered them in five different colors. They are so comfortable and non-binding. They are easy to launder and iron or steam, and the drawstring keeps the waist exactly where I want it to be. I plan to live in them the rest of the summer!” —ML Warner

Price: $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, three lengths, and 25 colors/patterns)

Promising review: “New staple in my closet! I bought this in black and white and loved it so much, I ordered it in two more colors. They’re good for working out and daily wear. I ordered a size down and the fit is like a comfortable, supportive compression tank. I don’t even have to wear a bra. They have the perfect amount of stretch and are SO soft and most importantly, not see-through. Obsessed!” —Faith

Price: $12.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and 30 colors/patterns)

Promising review: “Cute and comfy! So cute. This was a last-minute purchase for a summer getaway to wine country. The fit was good. Sized as stated. The material is soft and comfortable to the touch. It’s not too thick, but not thin either. You cannot see through this material, and the design was cute. No snaps or buttons to worry about. It’s very easy to pull on and off. I received compliments when I wore it. I usually wear a large, and it fit just right. I definitely would love one in a different color!” —Aces 5

Price: $22.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 17 colors/patterns)

Promising review: “Comfy! This is very comfortable. I bought it to wear over my workout clothes going in and out of the gym, but loved it so much I wear it with jeggings and leggings when out and about and did not relegate it to on the gym.” —Shesha

Price: $27.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 22 colors)

Promising review: “Silky, drapey, and not too sweaty! I originally got this in the champagne color, and liked it so much I went back and ordered the black/white/silver three-pack, and am now back for the khaki! They're drapey without being clingy, and the top portion is lined, which keeps bra texture from showing through. You will need to steam/iron them before wearing. There is no tag to mark front and back, I found one side is slightly lower cut than the other. I was concerned about them being too warm since I live in central Florida, and it's hot and humid basically year-round, but while I AM a 'glowy' individual, these didn't seem to exacerbate the problem at all. Give them a try. Maybe you'll love them, too, and have a great new staple!” —MadameMeg

Price: $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–4X, 16 colors, and individually or in multipacks)

FYI, some reviewers find these to run small and/or short.

Promising review: “Super comfy!   I love these shorts. They are super comfortable and look great casual or dressed up. Lightweight but good quality and not see-through at all. I ordered the navy blue and love them! I may have to get another color!” —Heather Soskin

Price: $23.93+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 17 colors and styles)

Promising review: “A step up from the ‘work from home in your PJs’ wardrobe! This is a comfortable but polished work-from-home dress/pullover. Dispense with the day jammies. It’s video conferencing approved and suitable for answering the door when packages arrive! It’s great!” —E Smith

Price: $28.88+  (available in sizes XS–3XL, 23 colors/patterns, and two sleeve lengths)

Promising review: “New favorite top! This has become one of my all-time favorite tops! Comfortable and airy for summer, and just all around cute! Great deal and looks great dressed up or down with shorts or jeans. I literally wear it constantly now with everything because I just love the way it makes me feel and look! ” —Janelle

Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 12 colors/patterns)

Promising review: “I was drawn to the tropical design and thought it would dress up a colorful tank top on a hot day. It’s colorful and perfect to add some style to what could be a very plain outfit. It’s true to size, comfortable, and lightweight. I love it!” —SpringPea

Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes S–5XL and 51 colors)

In terms of using these pants for workwear, YMMV depending on the formality of your workplace’s dress code, of course, so that’s something to bear in mind.

Promising review: “My new go-to outfit! I love these pants. They are super comfortable, and I can get away with wearing them to work with a cute T-shirt, sneakers, and a light sweater. I get lots of compliments on them, too. I have these in five colors so far. They are my go-to when I want to feel comfortable on busy days. Would highly recommend. The quality is very good.” —Mary

Price: $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 23 colors)

Promising review: “Super comfy! I didn’t think I’d like this set as much as I do! Ordered it in two colors. I originally planned to wear them as PJs, but I took them on vacation, and it was great resort wear for just hanging out. Throw on a button-down shirt or a jean jacket, and you can easily wear it out for the day running errands. Highly recommend!” —Miss Ann B

Price: $14.24+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 27 colors)

Of particular note: Tons of pregnant reviewers say this robe worked particularly well for them, so if you’ve been looking for something to add to your hospital go-bag or stay cozy in while pregnant or post-partum, this pick might be worth checking out.

Promising review: “Love this robe! It’s so soft and comfortable I could live in it! I feel luxurious wearing it, and I even bought one for my mom for her birthday. Highly recommend!” —Amazon Customer
