These 31 Reviewer-Fave Pieces Will Make Stocking Your Wardrobe Easy

Buzz Feed7 hours ago
A pair of extra-wide-leg darted palazzo pants that'll allow for ample airflow. It's basically like wearing a dress, but you don't have to worry about accidentally flashing anyone if a gust of wind catches you by surprise.
A sleeveless matching A-line set so you don't have to put any thought into putting an outfit together — the work has been done for you! It also looks veryyyy similar to a $78 set from another brand that begins with A.
A tie-front cardigan the TikTok girlies are obsessed with, and you know what? I get it! The sweet silhouette can be worn over a tank or paired with a dress when you need an extra layer.
A double-lined square-neck bodysuit that's an absolute wardrobe win as reviewers describe it with words and phrases like "butter soft," "versatile," "super comfortable," and — simple and straight to the point — "OBSESSED."
Or a sweetheart-neckline option in a deliciously soft fabric — known as Smoke Cloud — that reviewers compare to Skims. They say it washes well, too, so you can count on it being high quality despite the deceivingly low price!
Some Levi's cinch baggy jeans with an ingenious set of side buttons so you can avoid the dreaded waist gap and enjoy a tailored-to-you fit without shelling out extra cash to go to an actual tailor.
A longline sports bra that reviewers swear by as it offers loads of support, isn't see-through, and its quality is on par with much more expensive options from Athleta and Lululemon.
A classic faux-leather biker jacket if you yearn to be a person who just "throws something on" and goes, but you haven't quite nailed that down yet.
Universal Standard's 'tee rex' T-shirt, which was engineered for the *absolute* perfect fit. There's the ultra-soft Peruvian cotton (which also happens to be wrinkle-free), stovepipe sleeves, and a curved hem that ensures it's not too long or short.
An affordable sleeveless exercise romper with a medium-compression drop waist that keeps everything in place so you don't end up with dreaded diaper butt — the downfall of any subpar jumpsuit.
A pair of high-waisted palazzo pants you'll be tempted to wear every. single. day. as they're just that freaking comfy. Reviewers also say they're super breathable and surprisingly wrinkle-resistant.
A stretchy bodycon pencil dress that'll basically feel like a second skin. Some reviewers say they were considering splurging on the Skims version until they tried this and loved it just as much!
An on-trend vest top with a slightly cropped silhouette that'll pair per-fectly with all of your high-waisted bottoms and chunky gold accessories.
A two-piece muslin shorts set, because who has the time to coordinate a top and bottom when you're trying to get your butt out of the door to catch your commuter train? Not you!
A slouchy open-back yoga top you can totally work out in, but you could also wear it while grabbing froyo, walking the dog, hanging out at your friend's house for a night of true crime documentaries and takeout... ya know, wherever life takes you.
A denim midi skirt with a slitted hem that helps show off your footwear — especially if you're practicing what TikTok calls the "wrong shoe theory."
An off-the-shoulder top that's such a hit with reviewers, many have bought it in multiple colors.
An easy peasy button-down babydoll dress you basically just throw on over your head et voila — all the comfort of a potato sack but the chic look of something found in a curated boutique.
A structured blazer with a classic collar and lapel you can layer over a button-up for an interview or over a simple tee for an office-appropriate outfit that takes zero brain power because having to make outfit decisions at 7 a.m. is rough.
An A-line, linen-blend midi dress that looks like it's from Reformation, but it's actually from Old Navy (!!!) so you won't have to budget for months in order to afford it.
A trusty jean jacket you can *literally* wear with anything. There was a time when my mom told me to stop using the word literally 'cause I said it every two seconds, but mom, I swear it's justified in this case!
A super affordable Quince 100% linen vest one reviewer (see below ⬇️) says is comparable in quality to $100+ options from brick-and-mortar retailers.
A silky satin midi skirt with a silhouette that says "chic" and an elastic waistband that says "I'll give your most comfortable sweats a run for their money."
A pair of cheerful, super lightweight boxer-style shorts if you're loving the fact that this summer's trends have leaned into comfy Scandi styles instead of rigid denim.
A versatile sweater vest with chunky gold buttons to match your chunky gold hoops, chunky gold bangles, and chunky gold platform Birkenstocks.
A pair of wide-leg petal sweatpants that you'll literally only take off to wash. Might as well buy two or three pairs now because once you slip these babies on, there's no going back to normal pants.
A 100% cotton mini dress with the *sweetest* pointed collar and ruffled hem. One reviewer says it makes them feel like an American Girl doll, but "in the best way possible."
A tie-shoulder spaghetti strap romper that *looks* like it was snagged from a sample sale. Little do people know it actually came from Amazon, though, and cost just $28. And better yet, you didn't have to stand in line for hours in 95-degree heat.
A pair of relaxed linen overalls with an oh-so-comfy drapey silhouette and two mega pockets where you can keep your essentials: your AirPods, a pack of half-melted gum, and your Tamagotchi, because your virtual pet has a playdate coming up.
A crewneck brami — AKA a two-in-one bra + cami — so you can still ditch your usual underwire but still get alllll the support you need.
And a Skims-inspired square-neck compressive body suit with built-in shapewear that eliminates the need for undergarments. Don't worry — it's nice and thick!

Testing Urban Decay's All Nighter Setting Spray vs. Skindinavia's Original

Urban Decay reformulated its cult-favorite All Nighter Setting Spray, ending its 15-year partnership with Skindinavia. It was a breakup the beauty world never saw coming. Official brand statements were made and a whole lot of social media drama followed. Whether it was a purely business move or a way to improve upon a great formula with new innovations, my entire TikTok feed was flooded with theories as to why this breakup happened, and how the cult-favorite setting spray was going to change. The original All Nighter Setting Spray has been the last step of my makeup routine since high school—and I'm 30 now. It's been with me through prom, college parties, graduations, first dates, breakups, birthdays, office life, weddings, and traveling all over the world. It's been the one constant in a sea of endless options, living up to its name of making my makeup last all night long, through sweat, tears, and laughs. Since I love and trust the original All Nighter Setting Spray, I needed to know if the reformulated version lives up to its legacy. I put both Skindinavia's patented formula, the original All Nighter Setting Spray, and the newly reformulated Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray to a back-to-back wear test in NYC summer heat. Let's get into it! To ensure a fair test for both setting sprays, I did the same exact skincare and makeup routine as a base. Skin prep included a hydrating toner, a dark spot serum, and a sunscreen that doubles as a moisturizer. I wore my go-to everyday makeup routine, which includes foundation, concealer, setting powder, bronzer, liquid liner, and eyeshadow. The tests were conducted on days with similar weather conditions over 12 hours, from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. After liberally applying the setting spray all over my face, I noticed an immediate yet subtle cooling effect as it dries down and sets my makeup. My complexion looked natural and skin-like with no powdery, matte finish or an overly glowy, dewy look. My makeup products blended to create a seamless, skin-like effect, melting every layer of foundation, concealer, and powders into one. As the day progressed, I noticed that my skin looked a bit more dewy and shiny, but it didn't feel oily. I saw areas that are prone to creasing, like my laugh lines, start to form by around 3 p.m. When I was ready to take off my makeup before bed, I mainly saw product separation and patchiness around my mouth, including my chin and upper lip, and prominent creasing around my laugh lines. My eyeshadow also had significant creasing, but to be fair, I never put a primer on in the first place. I also noticed minor creasing in the undereye area. Urban Decay's new All Nighter Setting Spray has a much finer mist that feels more elegant to apply. Instead of bigger droplets and splotches of wetness, the fine mist was evenly distributed all over my skin and dried down a bit faster. There is a subtle cooling effect with this version as well, but it isn't as noticeable as its predecessor. It melted my complexion products together for a cohesive, natural skin look. However, this one left a more demi-matte or soft matte finish, with less of a shine or dewy appearance. My complexion maintained more of a matte finish throughout the day, but my skin did not feel dry at all. Around midday, I noticed minor creasing of my laugh lines and under-eye area, and there was minimal transfer when I had to dab my mouth area after eating. By the end of the day, there was minor makeup separation around my chin as well as creasing on my laugh lines, eyeshadow, and undereye areas. After my 12-hour test, both setting sprays delivered very similar results. Both felt weightless, maintained my makeup throughout the day, and gave my skin a natural finish (but the new All Nighter Setting Spray leans a tiny bit more matte compared to the original formula). The key difference came down to the spray nozzles and the formula distribution on the skin. The reformulated Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray has a finer mist that is much more elegant to apply to the skin. But I felt like I needed more sprays to get the same amount of product out. However, the old Urban Decay bottle design is no longer available anyway, and Skindinavia's spray nozzle delivers a smoother misting experience, somewhere between the old and new Urban Decay. Another difference is its (listed) staying power: The reformulated version claims to have a 24-hour staying power, whereas the original version has a 16-hour staying power. Personally, I don't see a world where I would keep my full beat on for longer than 16 hours, let alone 24 hours, without washing my face. I can promise you I will break out, so this update is negligible to me. Along with the reformulation, Urban Decay also released a matte finish version for shine control and a glowy finish version for hydration. If you're a tried-and-true loyalist to the original formula, you can shop Skindinavia's classic formula on Amazon, as well as an oil control version and a bridal version, specifically formulated for the bride on her wedding day.

The 'No-Buy' Movement Is Axing Consumer Debt: How To Go The Extra Mile With Savings Accounts

Editorial Note: We earn a commission from partner links on Forbes Advisor. Commissions do not affect our editors' opinions or evaluations. Open any social media app, and it seems like the algorithm has something to sell you. From Labubu dolls to matcha, trends are constantly popping up with a clear message to consumers: buy. Now, a counter-movement is gaining traction. 'De-influencers' and 'no-buy' trends are encouraging social media users to push back, skip the splurges and focus on tackling their debt and building savings. For personal finance content creator Rebecca Sowden, that shift has been both personal and public. On TikTok, she documents her no-buy journeys, inviting followers into the mindset shifts that have reshaped her relationship with money. Her inspiration came from two places: her husband, a 'super-saver,' and a growing unease about how quickly her spending habits were spiraling out of control. In 2024, she realized she was spending around $1,000 a month on shoes and clothing alone. Sowden committed herself to consistent no-buy periods for over a year, and is now eight months into her most recent no-buy sprint. Sowden isn't the only one to experience post-impulse shopping remorse— a 2023 Deloitte study found that 51% of Gen Zs and 43% of millennials say social media tempts them to buy things they cannot afford, based on responses from over 22,000 young adults across 44 countries. For Snowden, the payoff has been tangible: she's reached her savings goals faster, paid off her car with a $12,000 lump sum, and has reclaimed the time and energy she used to spend browsing for her next buy. 'When you're listening to the voices of people who are not interested in over-consuming, that naturally quiets the voices in your own head,' Sowden says. 'That's been the major brain shift—I wanted to quiet the amount of planning around purchases I was doing.' On top of her financial transformation, Sowden says her quality of life has improved, with more mental space to invest in hobbies and pet ownership, with the adoption of her dog. 'Now I take her to the park and sometimes I forget to bring my phone with me. I'll bring my journal and it's nice to touch grass,' Sowden says. Bill Shafransky, a certified financial planner and senior wealth advisor at Moneco Advisors, says the no-buy movement can be a powerful way to free up cash to pay off high-interest debt—especially credit cards. Once that debt is gone, Shafransky suggests contributing to money market accounts , a type of bank account that pays interest—often higher than a regular savings account—that also gives you access to your money with physical checks or a debit card. He adds that oftentimes, growing a savings cushion is often a better option than paying off low-interest debt, like a mortgage. 'It's better to keep that low-interest bearing debt because in most cases, you can get a higher rate of return by investing in, nowadays, a simple money market account,' Shafransky says. For first-time no-buy challengers, Sowden says don't be discouraged if it takes a few tries to stick. It took her several years of attempts before she could fully complete a no-spend sprint. Sowden's tips for no-spend success: Identify your 'why.' Having a clear motivation will help you stay on track. Having a clear motivation will help you stay on track. Take a hard look at your expenses. Separate wants from needs and create your budget around the essentials. Separate wants from needs and create your budget around the essentials. Set a realistic timeline for yourself. Start small with one or two weeks rather than jumping into a 6-month sprint. Start small with one or two weeks rather than jumping into a 6-month sprint. Track your wins. Celebrate milestones. Whether you've completed your first day or first month, taking note of your accomplishments will keep your momentum going. If you've used a no-buy sprint to pay down debt, you may eventually find yourself with extra cash. In that case, building a three-month emergency fund should be your first goal to give you a cushion against unexpected expenses. From there, you can decide next steps based on your financial goals. A few options aside from Shafransky's recommendation of money market accounts include: High-yield savings accounts (HYSAs): If you need a flexible savings option, HYSAs are for you. They boast interest rates much higher than the national average. Most allow penalty-free withdrawals, making them ideal for a growing emergency fund. For example, a $10,000 deposit in a HYSA with a 3.8% annual percentage yield (APY) would accrue $380 in interest over a year, or $38 a month. If you need a flexible savings option, HYSAs are for you.

Certificate of Deposits (CDs): Long-term savings goals, like saving up to buy a car or house, will likely benefit more from a CD. They typically offer higher fixed rates than HYSAs but require money to be locked away in the account for a set term. Make sure the timeline fits your needs and check any withdrawal penalties before committing.

Beautiful Blind and Disabled Parrot Has the Sweetest Bath Time Shower We've Ever Seen

Beautiful Blind and Disabled Parrot Has the Sweetest Bath Time Shower We've Ever Seen originally appeared on Parade Pets. Meet Pistachio, a wise, old rescue Parrot living his absolute best life in Ohio. Despite being blind, having a broken beak, and navigating the world with some disabilities, he's got one thing completely figured out: how to enjoy a perfect shower. In this clip, he stands calmly under the gentle stream, fluffing up his feathers and leaning into the water like it's his own personal spa day. His mom gently pours water over his feathers and it's so sweet. Pistachio shares his home with two other rescue birds, Mya and Merlin, but this moment is all about him. There's something incredibly peaceful about watching him relax and soak up the warm spray, especially when you learn this beautiful creature wasn't always surrounded by so much love. The amazingly touching video was shared by the TikTok account @thebirdgirl91, and the amount of gentle kindness and love this bird mama shows her feather babies is so touching. The beautiful caption reads, "The sweetest boy loves his showers.""You are so gentle with him," one person commented. Someone else added, "What a strong little man! I'll never, ever understand how people can treat animals like merchandise to toss away. Thank goodness he was rescued and is receiving all the love he never received." Agreed! Pistachio's Amazing Rescue Story He is thought to be around 70 years old, and he went from being abused and neglected in a breeding facility until he was saved by a wonderful volunteer worker before his new forever mom took him home. The sad part about this story is that Pistachio had a Parrot partner named Larry who he was separated from, and even though she tried to locate Larry so the birds could be reunited, she was never able to find him. These amazing bird moms have an Amazon wishlist here for all of their rescue birds, if you would like to donate something. Thank goodness for people who dedicate their time, care, and love to birds like Pistachio—because they're the ones who need it most. 🐶SIGN UP to get 'pawsitivity' delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends🐾🐾 Beautiful Blind and Disabled Parrot Has the Sweetest Bath Time Shower We've Ever Seen first appeared on Parade Pets on Aug 12, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Aug 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
