Some reviewers call it the best thing they've ever purchased because of how soft and cozy it is *and* the way it's supportive enough to make you feel totally cradled.
A jumpsuit that's also shapewear (???) — I know it sounds wild, but stay with me now. It's got a built-in bra and compression to give you support without skimping on comfort.

Men are ditching suits for loose pants, pricey tees, and tailored shorts in the return-to-office era
Old standards of overly polished suits have faded away. Old photographs of businessmen or episodes of "Mad Men" show what was considered the standard uniform for men to wear to the office: stiff, tailored suits, usually made of wool and tweed. But while the style of these outfits might translate to the modern era, with their defined silhouettes and refined aesthetics, the maintenance — starching, dry cleaning, ironing — might not be compatible with today's time economy, Hanson said. "They look great, they look super sharp," Hanson told Business Insider. "But doing that every day seems insane now." Instead, in the post-pandemic era, refined comfort is the name of the game. As many organizations switched to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, office style was largely with work-from-home loungewear. Now, as some companies push their employees to return to the office, employees are holding on to this comfort. Rather than a formal trouser, more men are opting to incorporate lighter and stretchy materials into their office wardrobe, like Lululemon's ABC trousers, said Kyle Pretzlaff, a marketing manager and plus-size fashion content creator with nearly 200,000 followers on TikTok, where he shares style advice for men. The trousers, which use sweatpant-like material, have gained popularity among those seeking office-wear comfort. Loosely defined, "smart casual" has become the new office dress code. Forget business casual. A new, looser dress code is on the rise. The "smart casual" uniform can look like a pair of pleated pants, a loose-knit polo, and relaxed, unlined loafers, said Winston Jones, a NYC-based fashion content creator with over 220,000 followers on TikTok. "It's still in the classic men's office wear, but it adds a little bit more to it, adding a little more edge or flare and spice," Jones told Business Insider. For Hanson, smart casual looks like tucking a nice white T-shirt in wide-leg pants and wearing that along with sneakers or comfortable loafers. As for suits, tailoring is king. Suits still occupy an important place in professional wardrobes. The search for comfort in office wear has brought tailoring to the forefront, helping men build a reliable closet of clothes they look and feel great in, Jones said. "Tailoring gives people a sense of comfort and consistency, especially when you have so much freedom that it can kind of deter you from wanting to make any decisions," he said. "You can make that great initial investment in a good suit, and then you can rewear that multiple times just by making a few tweaks here and there every day, so it eliminates decision fatigue." New, looser silhouettes are entering the office space as well. Inspired by WFH sweatpants or pajama pants, wide-leg trousers are coming into style for men. "Looser-fitting pants are a big thing," Hanson said. "Not the ultra baggy [pants] you get from Abercrombie or something, but just the pants that you can move in and that move with you." This trend echoes the rise in wide-legged pants in women's fashion as well, as Gen Z workers entering the workforce move away from the distinctly millennial skinny jean. For Jones, the rise in flared pants for men is just part of the trend of men's fashion following women's fashion. "Whatever the girls are doing, I'm like, 'that's going to be the next cool thing," Jones said. "I think that men are a year or two behind." Once unthinkable, shorts have also entered the conversation. Amid summer temperatures, men are beginning to consider what was once unthinkable: wearing shorts to the office. But the style they're going for is very specific — no 5-inch inseams, please. "I think people are having fun with a tailored short," Pretzlaff said, referencing Doechii's 2025 Met Gala look as a source of inspiration for summer-friendly workwear. Jones added, "If you have the appropriate length and you coordinate them properly with other pieces in your wardrobe, I do see shorts becoming more of a norm in the office." Some are taking inspiration from pop culture. "What's happening in pop culture is usually happening in the office," Hanson said. For example, between fashion icons like Pedro Pascal and Jeremy Allen White's signature outfit on FX's The Bear, crisp white tees have been gaining momentum as the it look of the moment. "They really introduced a lot of men to expensive fit T-shirts, which I'm grateful for, especially in the office place, because I think there is room for a really sleek, nice tee — that probably costs too much money," Pretzlaff said. "I love that tucked into a trouser with a nice shoe and a belt." Some might be losing the tie, but other accessories are on the rise. Part of feeling comfortable at the office is having the confidence of expressing your personal style, Pretzlaff said. As some workplace dress codes loosen, more men are feeling inspired to bring their outside personalities to their office wardrobe through accessories, like scarves, belts, or glasses. Men are looking to "slowly enter the daring space with accessories," Jones said. "Wearing frames in the office and the different colors and funky shapes are going to be much more encouraged because it's a people-facing environment, and it's easy to break the ice with a cool outfit or cool accessories," he said. As more return to the office and Gen Z enters the workforce, fashion experimentation might continue to rise. While conservatism has gained cultural momentum in recent years, men's office fashion won't be returning to three-piece suits anytime soon. "It would be crazy to see a swing like that," Hanson said. "I think everybody felt that way before — they never wanted to be that dressed up and uncomfortable." And even if there's a rise in office style conservatism with people wanting to be more dressed up for the workplace, Jones said, men might continue to adopt accessories that hint at their personal style. "Wanting to get dressed up is not necessarily about impressing other people, but it's about allowing other people to see what your story is by incorporating different ways you dress," Jones said.

52 Budget-Friendly Versions Of The Things You've Been Eyeing But Your Wallet Has Said 'No'
Nortiv 8 walking shoes with the pillowy comfort and bold color combos of Hokas on the cheap, so you can splurge a little bit on that boutique boxing class this week instead of shelling out more for the name-brand shoes. A tinted lip balm you'd SWEAR is Clinique's $25 "Almost Lipstick" Black Honey for the lovely, sophisticated hue it'll turn your lips. This is great for people who 1) always want a little lip color, 2) hate a sticky feel, and 3) love a bargain. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to *gently* hydrate, exfoliate, and tighten the skin that's more sensitive than the rest of your body but less sensitive than the skin on your face. This makes for a lovely, quite effective in-between formula packed with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil in a formula that reviewers say works just as well as much pricier creams. A ribbed button-up tank that'll give you the same vibes as an Abercrombie & Fitch one for half the price. So you could double ya' want. Maybe this is what they always meant when they said transitioning your look from office to happy hour? A cutesy juice glass that'll run you $6 less a pop than the iconic Anthro icon juice glasses. Once you start collecting 'em, you may not want to stop! A Lululemon-inspired tennis skirt with built-in shorts and a secret inner pocket because are you even living your best summer life if you're not claw-handing your iced coffee and phone in one hand while you wildly gesticulate as you tell your friend a story on a neighborhood walk? No need to worry about a strong breeze. A "Soft" perfume rollerball that's definitely made an appearance or five in your FYP scroll. It's only $5 and smells totally delightful (it gets compared to sweet treats like waffle cones). BUT! That's not the only reason to love it. It reminds reviewers of the $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀 and layers like a dream. Or a Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball to have everyone assuming you paid full price for the $25 Sol de Janeiro fragrance. Even if your immediate plans don't entail sitting on a beach and drinking out of an actual coconut, you can still catch a whiff of the island vibe with this sweet scent. An Anthro-leaning reversible quilted throw blanket in a ton of charming prints for a bedroom refresh that'll brighten things up and leave a little more room in your budget for, perhaps, a fun throw pillow?! Essence's Drop of Sunshine Bronzing Drops will help you fake that you spent the weekend taking in the sunshine instead of sick and holed up on your couch catching up on all the horror movies you've been meaning to watch. And at $33 cheaper than the Drunk Elephant version, you might just go ahead and invest in a second or third bottle now. Reviewers say it's super hydrating and buildable! A spaghetti strap sundress with built-in shorts (maybe "built-in shorts" is the 2025 summer mantra?) so you can reap all the benefits of a cooling sundress in the heat without having a Marilyn Monroe moment. (Reviewers say it's waaaay cheaper than one you can find at the mall.) A pair of pilot shield sunglasses for a very close look to the $699 Bottega Veneta pair. If you're on TikTok you've probably already seen these bad boys and thought about taking the plunge. It's a mere $14.99 plunge so, eh, might as well. A CZ tennis bracelet with tons of reviewers who say it can pass as actual diamonds. Listen, you want a glamorous stack but you don't have to choose between that and a long weekend at a beach resort. Or, go all out with a set of golden bracelets to help build up your wrist stack 'til you can throw your money at some real-deal Cartier ones with price tags that'll make you gasp. An intoxicating Baccarat Rouge 540–inspired Cremo Body Wash will help you smell luxe without blowing your whole beauty budget for the month. It has a blend of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers say stacks up to the real deal and sticks with them throughout the day. E.l.f. Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara if you've tried pricier versions but have shied away from rebuying because of $$$. Seriously, just try this! It's so good that I'm currently on my THIRD tube. Plus, Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel. Reviewers swear that this works just as well as $$$ eye creams at minimizing puffiness and swelling thanks to a powerhouse duo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. Some sharp-looking pointed-toe flats with similar comfy, machine-washable features to pricier Rothy's or Vivaia flats. You'll be glad you packed these to get you from Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Towel on a long but gorgeous scenic view! And when you get home, you can toss 'em in the wash to look like new for your next adventure! A beaded shoulder bag in case you've added a similar Staud one to cart about a million times but haven't been able to checkout just yet. The brand's beaded bags became instant classics but you can get a little splurgey at Anthro without having to completely upend your monthly budget on a (gorgeous) $295 bag. You could get three of these at that price (if you wanted). A set of wrist and ankle weights will feel like an extra fun accessory after you look up how the pricing ($22-ish) compares to similar Bala Bangles ($50-ish). Slip on these before you take a stroll with a pal to get in your steps. Just be prepared for the onslaught of compliments by passersby. Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a K-beauty product that's probably come across your radar for its stunning before-and-after results *and* lower price tag than a comparable $46 Gisou hair oil. Locking down a cheap but transformative hair oil will soften the blow of putting off having your split ends snipped off for a few more months. Sliick Ingrown Rescue Solution to halt painful (and unsightly) ingrown hairs before you realize they've rudely shown up on your first beach day of the year, no matter how you're DIY-ing hair removal. AND it's half the price of holy grail Tend Skin! Oxo's portable Cold Brew Rapid Brewer if you guzzle coffee like it's your main salaried job where you have a corner office in the C-suite. It whips up cold brew in a mere five minutes, which is even better news if you've gotten sticker shock from Aeropress but need something that'll work both at home and on the go. (For the record, some reviewers call it "Aeropress 2.0" because they prefer the Oxo version.) Self-Tanner for some super-easy-to-apply color that'll develop in an hour. No need to book a (costly) spray tan appointment. (Psst, reviewers who've previously sworn by St. Tropez products have made the switch!) A cherry bag charm can add a lil' razzle-dazzle to your plain bag that's just not doing it for you anymore. Just let your work nemesis assume that it's the $95 Coach charm. An Elizavecca hair treatment to give you "rich girl hair" thanks to its collagen and ceramide 3 formula. And it'll take just a few minutes of your time, like as little as five minutes post-shampoo. Because time is money, money is power, and power is pizza. (In case you were curious, lots of reviewers say they prefer it over $$$ Olaplex.) A long-sleeve bodysuit will wrap you up in an incredibly soft fabric that reviews oft compare to Skims. AND it's supportive enough so you can wear it without a bra, which is always a great thing! Plus, a stretchy bodycon pencil dress with heaps of Skims comparisons for the shape and stretch. I'm guessing this is what Morticia Addams would wear to an all-inclusive beach resort. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones you'd mistake for AirPods Max if you weren't paying close attention thanks to the similar shape and shade options. These beauts are at a small fraction of the price (I swear, that math is easy) with good noise-blocking, 10 hours of play per charge, a built-in mic for calls, and cushy padding so you can put those extra HUNDREDS you're not spending on AirPods Max for a flight to your college roommate's wedding. Catrice's Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette to help you build out and highlight your face's gorgeous assets for a mere $8 instead of $88 with a similar Makeup Forever palette. Listen, you don't have to spend a bunch of money to LOOK it. And a palette like this is gonna last you a while. A baroque-inspired mirror to instantly dress up an entry or hallway. The gilded frame looks equally great hung on a wall or atop a console. And every time you gaze upon your reflection in it, you can think about the dough you saved by opting for this one over the more expensive Anthro version. An elegant set of square wineglasses that reviewers point out are VERY similar to the pricier ones sold at Crate & Barrel. Whether you're just drinking some water out of them or some actual Prosecco, they'll certainly elevate the moment. E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter that'll free up a bit of coin if you've been eyeing Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter as a glow-getter on a budget. This stuff has hyaluronic acid and squalane to give you that lit-from-within for less than the cost of a pricey chopped salad from that place beside your office. A faux-leather bag you'll do a double-take on because it's verrrry similar to Polène's Cyme you've been stalking online and thought, "Welp, I could buy this instead of flying to my college roommate's wedding" before buying that flight. Hanes Ultimate ankle socks can pass the comfort test for fans of Aritzia's TNA line. Yes, we're at that age where socks can be luxurious. A faux-pearl choker that's a dead-ringer for a Vivienne Westwood piece you can easily add to all kinds of outfits that are missing something. Mystery solved. Slingback heels to add an air of sophistication to a simple outfit. We're not on a Chanel budget, but that's perfectly fine and normal! These beauts will help you chase that feeling AND turn out to be super versatile so you'll have a pretty low cost per wear. And while we're chasing that feeling, a quilted leather crossbody purse can scratch a Chanel-ish itch while adding an affordable purse into your wardrobe rotation. A glitzy long-sleeve sequin dress in case you marveled at the $765 16Arlington dress Hailey Bieber wore but gasped out loud when you looked at the price. This under-$100 version is just begging to make an appearance in a loud, dark club somewhere in Europe. A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses your nemesis will mistake for the $400+ Miu Miu ones, which is fine. Let 'em think that and put that extra cash toward whatever else you want. A multipurpose blush stick you can try out to create the lovely watercolor blush trend. Y'know what's even lovelier? Paying $7 for this instead of the $18 Pixi Beauty version so you can build and blend color to your heart's content. A pair of satin block-heeled dress shoes you'd mistake for some Loeffler Randall heels if you didn't buy them yourself! Reviewers also say that the supportive straps mean you can still make all kinds of moves. A wedding dance floor hates to see you coming. A velvet V-neck maxi dress that'd make a perfect bridesmaid dress. Or just a wedding guest dress! You're already paying [redacted] to attend the Nashville bachelorette. We don't need to spend $400 on a dress too. Slip-on mules because you're not allowed to wear sneakers to the office (I'm emailing HR on your behalf) but don't do heels. You'll get all kinds of use out of these comfy alts to the pricier Madewell Gemma mules without having to MAKE yourself wear them enough times just to make yourself feel better about dropping serious dough on them. Platform slippers you've eyed on so many other people in public (or, well, the similar but more expensive Ugg Tazz) and want in on the cozy style. Once you slip your feet into the faux-fur shoes, you'll find every which way to wear — even in the sweaty pits of summer. Cushionaire slides that'll help satisfy your old dogs' yearning for comfy Birks (there are 1,000+ reviews comparing them) for significantly less. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops made to help plump up (hydrating hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid) and brighten (niacinamide) your complexion for similar results to the $35 Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. Reviewers say it works great alone *or* mixed in with foundation. A plated ring with just a bit of glitz that'll help you channel the Cartier look without affecting your financial planning goals like the real-deal would. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume because you thought about shelling out for YSL's Black Opium but your budget said no despite all your other perfume bottles being on empty. A Briotech spray can help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid (it's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation). Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle. Some mid-weight sweatpants in case you wanna bring some luxe feel to your couch-rotting. Folks on TikTok compare these to Aritzia's for a fraction of the price. Everyone wear sweats but they don't have to be expensive sweats. A half-zip pullover sweatshirt that'll run you far less than Lulu's $118 scuba hoodies.
