Buzz Feed15-07-2025
A ribbed button-up tank top with some real Abercrombie & Fitch energy to perfectly straddle that line of "professional" and "I am 100,000% going out after work today, and a martini glass will be involved."
A strapless maxi dress designed with such high-quality material that reviewers are *delighted* by how easy it is to transition this from a casual shopping look to "oh boy, I've been invited to a fifth wedding this summer" look.
A pair of cheerful, super lightweight boxer-style shorts so comfy and adorable that you are about to put your denim shorts on notice for the rest of the year — especially since these are a MUCH cheaper alternative to the $98 Reformation version.
A deliciously breezy linen mini shirt dress that pretty much canceled the institution of pants for the entire summer. LET the door hit them on the way out!!
An affordable, Lululemon-esque longline sports bra so comfy, supportive, and versatile that reviewers love it both for outdoor workouts, gym use, *and* errand running. This is designed to be supportive without being too compressive, with lightweight fabric that keeps you breezy in the heat.
The iconic "Maya Dress" from Lisa Says Gah, aka the ultimate travel Instagram dress — this distinctive, adorable showstopper will make any special occasion feel all the more memorable. (Especially if you're lucky enough to get to eat any of the delectable treats on it!)
A slouchy open-back yoga top reviewers compare to a popular mall brand's $48 version. 👀 If you're looking for a loose, soft, breezy option that won't overheat you in the summer, this "workout in the front, party in the back" shirt has got your name on it.
A buttery soft (and pregnancy-friendly!) Butterluxe athletic skort so lightweight, comfortable, and breezy that it will become the MVP of your warm weather wardrobe in no time flat.
A trendy, oh-so-comfortable cinched jumpsuit a ton of reviewers *swear* by as the ultimate travel and lounge piece, since it is easy to pack as a "one and done" outfit, matches any kind of shoe or outer layer vibe, and is ridiculously cozy to boot.
A timeless flowy pleated skirt with some major ~swish, swish~ energy that will feel so breezy your legs will be like, "Shorts? Pants? Never heard of them." A lot of reviewers swear by this versatile number for traveling, since it packs well and can be dressed up or down!
A square neck "going out" top that isn't NOT a near perfect lookalike for the $38 Skims and $40 Abercrombie versions. This is an excellent find for anyone who is ~choosy~ about colors, because this comes in a whole rainbow's worth of them.
A '90s-inspired sleeveless linen dress so delightfully breezy that it will become your new uniform the moment you slide it on over your head.
A cap-sleeve tank top giving "muscle tee, but make it dainty." This is a perfect go-to for days when it's sweltering hot and you want to keep it as breezy, chic, and minimalist as possible. Psst — it even has an underarm panel so your bra doesn't show!
A peasant blouse-style maxi dress you can wear with the sleeves up or on your shoulders to maximize your Frolicking Energy for all your warm weather fun.
A wide-leg low-back jumpsuit so breathable and elegant, it will become your go-to for all warm weather shenanigans. That is, if you're willing to spend the entire day soaking up compliments like the sun.
An oh-so-sweet ruffled skort so you can have all the daintiness of the tiered, flowing layers with all the security of comfy built-in shorts. TRY IT, wind!! I dare you!
A sleeveless tennis sundress for anyone whose fitness goals always include a checkbox for "be as cute as possible." This dress features a full built-in compressive romper on the inside for support while you're moving and grooving, making it an excellent option for travel, too.
A crochet knit sweater vest you can just as easily pair with denim or a skirt as you can throw it on over a swimsuit as a cover-up. Something tells me this versatile little number is going to spend a LOT of time on the clock this spring and summer!
A beloved Tommie Cap-Sleeve Smocked Front-Zip Shirt Dress from Anthropologie, which ticks all the boxes for high quality construction, absurd comfort, and a customized feel — reviewers especially rave about the well-designed cinch and drape of the waist.
An affordable sleeveless exercise romper you will be SO glad you bought on days when the sun is trying to bake you like cookie dough. These are medium-compressive, soft, breezy, and SUPER easy to throw on when your brain is too fried to match a top and a bottom in the heat. Bonus — these are comparable to Aerie, Abercrombie, and Hollister versions that can go for three times this price!
An oversize two-piece blouse and shorts set, because if there's one thing that's definitely not going out of style this year, it's our love for breezy matching sets. The actual audacity of these outfits to look so put together and elevated while also being so darn comfy!
A wildly popular floral print sheer cover up for the perfect finishing touch to all your warm weather outfits that won't make you swelter in the heat. Reviewers especially love how easily this packs (and photographs!!) for travel.
A pair of super lightweight drawstring elastic shorts you will be SO happy you invested in when you need an elevated piece to toss on without thinking, like when you're walking the dog early in the a.m. or heading to a last-minute outdoor lunch with pals.

A two-piece tie top and maxi skirt for the ultimate "you simply could not PAY me to pick out a whole outfit that goes together" hack. Now you've got a guaranteed polished, lightweight, comfy look ready to go in your closet at all times, no brain cells required.
A pair of drawstring wide-leg linen blend pants clearly designed by someone who thought to themselves, "What if I could take pajamas and make them look expensive and chic as all heck for daytime wear?" Now is their time to shine.
A fairytale-worthy floral chiffon dress so dreamy that every time you wear it people will be like, "Wow, the wind was a paid actor."
A nostalgic ribbed tube top Brami that solves the problem of "but what BRA do I wear with this??" once and for all — this comes with a comfy, supportive bra already built in, making it a *breeze* to throw on with any outfit, no bra math required.
A denim tie-strap dress so darling that you'll feel like a doll come to life every time you wear it. Someone needs to get you a one-way ticket to BarbieLand, stat!

A pair of rimless sunglasses because it's scientifically proven that you can't *not* feel fierce while wearing I totally made that up, but throw on a pair of sunglasses and tell me you don't feel totally fabulous. Promising review: "Stylish must-have! I recently snagged a pair of Y2K Sunglasses, and they're my new obsession! These shades boast a chic Y2K-inspired design that's both trendy and comfortable. With lightweight frames and adjustable nose pads, they're perfect for all-day wear. Plus, they're incredibly versatile, complementing any outfit effortlessly. Made with quality materials, these sunglasses are durable and offer excellent UV protection. In summary, the Y2K Sunglasses are a stylish must-have accessory that adds flair to any look. Trust me, you won't regret adding them to your collection —PavlovGet it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors). A denim patchwork bodysuit that should just clock in for the summer, cuz you'll def be putting this cutie to work. Job — serving. I have this!! I got it for Cowboy Carter and am so excited to wear it. It's so cute and looks exactly like the pics, *thank goodness*. I created my entire look for the concert based on this bodysuit, and let me just tell y'all, I'm bout to eat, chomp, gobble, and chew. This was my first purchase with the brand, and I'll surely be putting in tons more orders. Get it from Micas for $28 (available in sizes XS–3XL and two colors).

I feel stunning in it." —Tammy vigilGet it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors). A denim Telfar bag because stylish and Telfar are basically synonyms. I mean, I know y'all saw Beyoncé's denim Telfeezy look. The contrast stitching, adjustable and removable straps, the front pocket with card slotssss (!!!), I'm salivating. This bag is teeeaaaaa. Okay, let me enter the chat. Hey besties! My birthday just passed, and when I say I spoiled myself, I truly, TRULY mean it. My wallet is still side-eying me, like, *girl, can you stop, please*. My mood the entire month of June was ~whatever you want, you beautiful, perfect little princess~ so when I got the email about this bag, my card was out quicker than Taylor from Love Island switched up on my girl Olandria. But I don't have a single regret cuz it's now my favorite purse. There's just so much space, and as a girl, that's amazing. None of my clothes ever have pockets, and I am just extremely fond of itty bitty purses that only fit a lip gloss and my ID. I almost don't know what to do with myself cuz I have so much room for stuff. I squeal every time I look at it, like it's my baby. I'm so excited to pair it with my Cowboy Carter fit (for pics, I know I can't bring it into the venue). It's worth every cent that I spent, and I will forever stand on though I need a new tire. But be so real, a tire or a Telfar bag for my birthday, likeee?! Pfttt, forget my tire, lol. I'm literally just a girl. *Calls my father*.Get it from Telfar for $280.

Get it from Outcast for $135 (available in sizes XXS–XL and two colors). A set of 68 stacking rings in different sizes that'll give you endless jewelry combos to create. Promising review: "Run, do not walk, and scoop this up. There is such an incredible variety of rings — different styles and sizes — that there is something for everyone. The rings are well-made. High quality. Definitely would buy again!" —JamieGet them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six different sets). A crochet beach dress because you're def not a *big T-shirt and shorts cover up* kinda person. If you plan to look absolutely fabulous every moment of the day, this is a look that'll help you totally devour your beach day. Get it from Boohoo for $31 (originally $84; available in sizes S–L). A pair of Western-style knee-high sandals with a gladiator silhouette that'll have everyone dying to know where you got them. Promising review: "Love the color, although I was skeptical at first. But I can wear these with practically anything! The heel is not too high or skinny, so they are extremely comfortable." —Bositta them from Akira for $119.90 (available in sizes 5.5–11). A leopard and lace maxi dress cuz nothing says fierce like a little bit of growl power (shoutout to The Cheetah Girls).

A 25-pack of nose cuffs to match your aesthetic without having to face any more needles. So many cute designs, you'll definitely be obsessed with these. Promising review: "My friends are now obsessed! Gave so many people the link to these because they're very stylish. I have both sides of my nose pierced, but hate changing the studs out. This is so easy to slide on and off, I don't even need the piercing at this point." —Kay FinesseGet them from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven different sets). A pair of flowy pants, a summer must-have for creating all kinds of looks — cozy, cute, casual, dressy, beachy, and basically any other summer look you can think of. Promising review: "Seriously, love these pants, and I can't tell you how many compliments I get on them. They're linen and they're perfect for summer. I can go to a business meeting or go out with the girls. I have three colors now. —Kelly FajardoGet them from Amazon for $29.69 (available in sizes XS–XL and 15 colors). A butterfly top because the early 2000s was such an iconic time in fashion. Okay, maybe not the skirts over jeans, but there were def some gems! Get it from Akira for $69.90 (available in one size). A crossover crop top with keyhole cutouts that you'll surely get your money's worth out of, cuz once you put it on, you'll wanna wear it nonstop. Get it from Rebdolls for $24.43 (originally $34.90; available in sizes S–5X). An asymmetrical top + skort set that def gives ~mamacita~ vibes *looks at Nic from Love Island*. Promising review: "I'm thrilled with this curve skirt set! The fitted style is incredibly cute, and the fabric offers just enough stretch for all-day comfort. Perfect for a casual spring outing, I felt both stylish and confident in it!" —C***aGet it from Micas for $42 (originally $48; available in sizes XS–3XL and two colors). A tie-front mini dress with metallic chain straps for a look that says *I'm barely trying today, but still am the most stylish one in the room*. Ya know, just a casual slay. Promising review: "I wore this fitted mini dress to a casual summer picnic and felt so comfortable all day. The mid-stretch fabric really hugs my curves without feeling constricting. Love the quality!" —s***hGet it from Micas for $62 (available in sizes XS–3XL and three colors). A Telfar track skirt that'll have you sitting on the product page for hours because you won't be able to choose a color and are tempted to buy one of each. It's me, I'm describing myself. Heheeee, back again, lol. Yep, I bought this too. I told y'all I spoiled myself. I bought this in the store on a trip to New York as another birthday gift to myself, cuz why not? It's SOOOO cute. I have Telfar bags but hadn't bought clothes yet, and Telfar's clothes honestly run very small *because* remember, they're a unisex store. I can switch between medium and large normally for other brands, but for Telfar, I'm a small in bottoms and an extra small in tops. I was literally so confused when the employee kept telling me I should try a small (because, sir, do you see all this booty?!), but shout out to him cuz he was spot on. This skirt is of such great quality, I just know that I'm not even gonna eat food in this skirt. I'm a clumsy mess, and I refuse to spill anything on this; I'd crash out so bad. The light blue is so cutesy, it's perfect. I'm obsessed with my skirt, and I promise I'll get pics soon. I've been ridiculously busy, and planning outfits for a billion other things I've had to do, but I have so many plans for this skirt. Now let me get off this product page because the longer I look, the more I realize I need this in chocolate and cream, it from Telfar for $135 (available in sizes XS–2XL and nine colors). A keyhole bodysuit for 'fits that require a plain, solid-color top. Even your *plain* is a step above the ordinary in style. Get it from Rebdolls for $20.93 (originally $29.90; available in sizes S–5X). A bodycon maxi dress you'll wanna wear on every summer vacay. It's perfect for an outdoor lunch or even to impersonate a famous pop star on a trip to Italy while Paolo tells you that "you shine with the light from the sun." Promising review: "It's stunning, breathtaking, and beautiful. It was love at first sight when I saw it. It's worth every penny! It makes you feel like a goddess! I got all the compliments! I'm definitely buying this dress in different prints. 🥰" —Kia HowardGet it from Amazon for $49.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 12 colors). A ruffled dress made from chiffon fabric for a light, airy feel. It has an adjustable lace-up front and tie cuffs on the sleeves, which will make it that much harder to resist wearing it every day. Get it from Boohoo for $34 (originally $68; available in sizes 12–24). A maxi skirt with a super high slit that'll have you feelin' the heck outta yourself. 👏👏👏 as you should, honestly. Get it from Rebdolls for $31.43 (originally $44.90; available in sizes S–5X). A dramatic ruffled gown because one thing everyone can expect from you is that you'll show up overdressed, looking like you belong on the cover of a magazine. Snag this if you want everyone to look at you like when Cinderella entered the ball. The pics in this are gonna EEEEAT — I'm talkin' three-course meal style. Promising review: "Vibrant, stunning, and eye-catching. Also, the most comfortable thing you'll put on. I bought this for a beach vacation with fancy dinners, for which I knew I wanted comfort above all else. I was stopped repeatedly for compliments, and I felt so comfortable. Perfect with flats or heels due to the high-low construction, belted or flowy (I opted for flowy), the dress is lined for whatever undergarments you choose. I am adding to my collection now. If this comes out in green, I'll have to add another to my collection!" —Ashley TGet it from Eloquii for $189+ (originally $279.95; available in sizes 14–28 and four colors) A pair of tie-up shorts so cute, they'll have the rest of your closet feeling the favoritism. Promising review: "I absolutely fell in love with these shorts! The fit is impeccable, and they hold their shape beautifully. Perfect for casual outings!" —K***nGet it from Micas for $40 (originally $42; available in sizes S–XL). A tooth gem kit since you love to bedazzle literally everything. Super cute trend that'll make your smile *even more* dazzling. You'll get cotton rolls, micro applicator brushes, gems, two bottles of glue and cleansing gel, gems, a gem picker, and a mini LED light. I have these and they're so cute! I personally was skeptical, so I didn't cure them too long because I only wanted them on my teeth for the day. They ended up being perfect and fell off before the end of the day (which was what I wanted). I'm sure if you're interested in keeping them on for longer than a day, you just cure it for longer. I just knew that I wanted them off the same day, so I only cured them for about 30 seconds. The glue came right off with the gem! I also bought other gems, like the butterfly pictured, and they worked just fine!Get it from Amazon for $32. A tie-strap mini dress, a simple slay, but still oh so cute. Just looking at it makes me wanna twirl around like a fairy. Get it from Rebdolls for $34.93 (originally $49.90; available in sizes S–5X). A totally adorable button-down halter and shorts set you'll definitely need a zillion pics in. This set will have you actually looking forward to doing laundry, just so you can wear it again. Get it from Cider for $49.90 (available in sizes 2–10 and two colors). A pair of cowboy boots for anyone who plans to dress like they're going to the rodeo all spring and summer long. You're gonna wanna lasso up a few of these in different colors. Promising review: "These are my most worn boots. Particularly in the spring and summer. They are incredibly comfortable and look so cute with mini skirts and dresses." —Hannah henegarGet them from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 5–11, wide fits, and nine colors).

12 Gifts to Celebrate Tomato Season

In this edition of The Gift, we're celebrating peak summer with some whimsical tomato gifts. Because why not? Plus: the very best olive oil and what to gift a wiener dog mom. Last year, I found myself soundly defeated by six cherry tomato plants. As a gardening newbie, I'd avoided weightier varieties, thinking they might be harder to prop up. Oh, sweet summer child. By July, my Sungolds and Supersweet 100s had already rapidly outgrown their tall stakes and then seized on the fence behind them in a junglelike thicket. Every few days, they produced so much fruit that I was giving them away in old pho containers to the baristas at my local coffee shop. But even in the midst of that late-season abundance, I still loved catching a whiff of tomato leaves on my hands after pruning the multiplying branches. I know I'm far from alone in finding them irresistible. Just looking at red-orb designs on a bowl or T-shirt can conjure the feeling of dappled summer sun on your forehead, or a languid vacation dinner with fireflies glinting about. In that spirit, here are a few of our favorite knickknacks, clothes, and kitchenstuffs for gifting your favorite tomato-head or anyone you'd just like to treat this summer. For going out, I'm a fan of Staud's iconic beaded bag — the Italian-esque tomato version has a cheeky forkful of spaghetti on the back. This adorable fitted mini linen dress would also be a surefire hit on a sweltering August night. (It's a bit of a double entendre given that 'tomato' is, I recently learned, a synonym for a 'hot number.') And for days at the office, these handy sticky notes, which newsletters editor Haley Jo Lewis calls 'the absolute delight of my desk,' will brighten workday drudgery with a pop of fuchsia. They're a sweet small token to lift a pal out of a 9-5 summertime sadness. Several Wirecutter journalists love this fat heirloom tomato-shaped candle that smells like tomato leaves and, if it was sitting on a farmer's market table, would make you do a double take. Also, these cherry tomato-inspired dinner candles are both regal and eye-catching, and far more of a conversation starter than mere ivory tapers. It'd almost be a shame to actually burn them. For pomodoro decor beyond candles: I love this glass tumbler with an adorable little guy popping up from its center for summer sips on the patio. And this extremely fun throw pillow tossed on a sofa would help anyone beat accusations of a millennial-gray living room. Kids would be overjoyed to get this ridiculously cute plushie. Or for the canines: This hilarious canned tomato-inspired dog toy is squeaky and comes with three small tomato balls inside it. I think either are worth squeezing into what might already be an overstuffed toy collection. Ignacio Mattos, chef-owner of a number of lovely Mediterranean restaurants in New York City, once told me he favors the rich jarred Miracolo di San Gennaro Pomodori from Bronx importer Gustiamo. And our kitchen team also thinks their sundried tomatoes are divine enough to eat straight out of the jar (or sprinkled on pasta). Less on the nose — and quite special — are these hefty, handmade splatterware dinner plates from Puglia. While lacking in round, red imagery, they would contrast beautifully with a tomato salad. As I wrote this newsletter, I found myself pining for my favorite BLT — one made with Japanese milk bread, thick-cut bacon, and fat heirloom slices at peak juiciness. It looks like one tomato in my garden is almost sandwich-ready. I pared it back this year, by the way, to two cherry tomato and two Brandywine plants. I think I've learned my lesson. But ask me again in August. Including a quite cute (and curl-friendly) bucket hat. Your plants deserve to thrive in a confetti resin planter or a glittering disco ball. These exceptionally sharp pruners may be the last set you ever buy. My sister-in-law is especially difficult to shop for, because she doesn't really love anything in particular, except for going out to dinners with friends, hiking, and hanging out with family. She is a career elementary school teacher, married without kids, and has a weenie dog as of five months ago (her first pet ever in her life). — E.S. From gifting expert Hannah Morrill: Going out on a limb here and guessing that your newly minted weenie-loving relative is as weenie-obsessed as my weenie-loving relative. If so, let's start her out with a sweet doggo hair clip that could delight her students, too. If you've got a good picture handy — check your text threads — you could get a pair of custom socks or a pillow made. Wrap it all in Dachshund wrapping paper, and you're set. If you're not ready to go all in on the dog theme, some plush hiking socks are always appreciated, and our favorite Spanish tapas sampler would be lovely for noshing at home before dinner out. Lastly, if you've got the time, rescue memories from the digital graveyard by assembling a photo book of treasured family hangs. (Then schedule an IRL hang, too.) Our present-hunters are here to answer your questions. By completing this form, you agree that we may add your address to our list for the newsletter The Gift.
