A perfect-length floral print romper if flowers and romping about are two of your favorite things about this time of year. Soft, stretchy, and lightweight, you'll be so happy to have this piece on deck for all your goings-on.
A high-waisted palazzo trouser that reviewers love for giving the illusion of a maxi skirt with the non-chafing comfort of pants. (And cooling abilities, too, bless!)
An ol' faithful, summer-ready maxi dress because no matter the trend, you can literally never go wrong with this ultra comfy standby. (Your slip-on sneakers called — they want in on this outfit, too.)
A sleeveless T-shirt dress so you don't have to think about itchy, scratchy sleeves messing with your floaty, care-free vibes while still looking ~fabulous~.
An off-the-shoulder top: Sandy Olsson called and said Summer Lovin' is in. If you've been hunting for the perfect sunshine-y going-out top, it's time to add this to your cart.
Promising review: "I purchased the shirt in black first and was immediately obsessed- I had to get it in another color ASAP! The material is butter soft (think like lulu leggings) and thick. It's double layered so it's not see through at all. I could literally live in it. The sleeves/cut make it look a bit more dressed up while still being casual." —CourtneeGet it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 19 colors).
A yee-haw open-front tied crop for when you want a little bit country, a little bit trend-setting, and a whole lot of ❄️ cool. ❄️ AND you can keep it out when the weather cools off in the fall and use it as a layering piece, too! A two-fer bargain, y'all.
A coveted V-neck button tunic all your fave romantasy heroines are wearing to save the world and save it ~sweat-free~. Nobody has time to worry about uncomfy sleeve lengths and weird collars while they're out and about in Fairy Court.
A two-piece muslin set as comfy as it is put-together so you can look effortlessly chic and not pull a Wicked Witch of the West the moment you step outside of your air conditioned front door.
A wrap dress for an A+ kind of fit. Lots of reviewers dress it up and down, so no matter the many shenanigans you have planned for yourself, this dress will be ready to rock right along with you!
A matching chiffon crop top and skirt cover-up set if you want in on some of those summer goddess vibes. Áine, is that you?!
A two-pack of beloved crewneck tees you'll turn to so often, you'll wonder how you didn't buy these years ago. Perfectly paired with pants, shorts, or skirts. This style is a classic for a reason: It goes with EVERYTHING!
A pair of breathable sneakers because your feet deserve to be just as comfy (if not COMFIER) than the rest of you. These sneaks were made for walkin', and that's just what they'll do...without getting sweat all over you!
Or a pair of ultra-stylish Serene sandals to elevate your summer fits without sacrificing comfort. These have three adjustable straps (bye-bye blisters!) and are designed to survive heavy rain and dunks in water.
Portland Gear is all about making water-resistant bags and accessories, so if you're like me and somehow ALWAYS get your shoes wet (and sometimes even your bags), their products are designed to air dry naturally so you can keep on with your day no matter how drenched you get!Y'all, I keep reaching for these over my beloved Birks. They're THAT comfortable. Get them from Portland Gear for $129 (available in women's sizes 6.5–15.5, men's sizes 5–14, and three colors).
A cooling hoodie towel with UPF protection, because sometimes you just gotta get heat relief fast. We're talking up to 30 degrees below average body temperature in under one minute fast. Just wet, wring, and snap for the kind of instant cool down you've been dreaming about.
And a set of sweatbands if sweat dripping into your eyes is not ideal for your workouts, yard work, and any other kind of effort that you'd rather conquer not wiping your brow every two seconds.
A stretchy and breathable long-sleeve tee designed with UPF 50+ to keep the rays off your skin and therefore keep you cooler than if you were wearing ~nothing at all~. (Can't recommend. Very little sun protection in that route, tbh.)
A pack of racerback tanks perfect for outdoor concerts, pool-side lounging, and basically everything you've got on your summer calendar. Plus, there are three of them to a pack, so you're basically over halfway to your new summer capsule wardrobe with one click!
A Columbia "freezer" dress with cooling technology so you can still look as pretty as a princess all while feeling as icy as a misunderstood queen on a frozen mountain. (Perfect for any travels into the unknown, you get me?)
A Hanes wireless bra with cooling mesh if boob sweat is your mortal enemy and you want to kiss it goodbye for good without the discomfort of a wire dragging you down.
And a bra liner to enhance your current go-to bras with some extra sweat-busting powers by wearing this moisture-wicking insert.
A pack of underarm shields so pit stains can be a thing of the past and you can feel secure that you'll be dry and neat, no matter how your new aluminum-free deodorant journey is going.
A set of lightweight PJs because Mr. Sandman might not be in league with Mr. Freeze, but that's no reason for YOU to suffer through unnecessary night sweats at night. Save yourself (and your ZZZs!) by setting yourself up for comfy, cool, and cute sleeping success.
A Fast and Free ponytail running hat you might as well leave by your door because you're going to grab this time and time again. Reviewers LOVE this cap because it keeps your hair out of your face, the sun from your eyes, and you get to keep your messy bun or high pony intact.
My ponytail-loving self *might* have just added this to the cart, too. Promising review: "Great running cap. Breathable and wicks away sweat. Visor provides good protection from the sun. It is comfortable and fit well with an adjustable strap." —Bee MTGet it from Lululemon for $38 (available in six colors).
And a moisture-wicking hat liner that's PGA tour licensed, so you know it's going to help keep the sweat out of your eyes when you're wearing your fave ball cap to putt-putt golf this summer.
A pair of high-waisted, quick-dry running shorts because whether you're running on the treadmill or running errands, the last thing you need is a waistband digging into your side or underwear fabric bunching up between your legs. These lovelies have a stretch underwear liner and a no-slip waistband to avoid all those pesky pitfalls!
A pair of lace shorts if you want some beneath-the-skirt anti-chafing superpowers on your side, but want them to be more demure and cutesy than your average bike short. (Siri, play "Delicate" by Taylor Swift.)
And finally, some cloud slides that promise to be your pedicure's best friend — comfy, easy-breezy slides that let your on-trend butter yellow toenails do all the talking.
You, cool as a cucumber this summer:
