If You're In Your Thirties, Here Are 27 Chic, Lightweight Pieces You'll Want In Your Spring Closet

Buzz Feed18-05-2025

A corset lace-up sundress that kind of reminds me of Gabriella's finale dress in High School Musical when in red, tbh. It's lightweight and flowy, and — wait for it — it looks extremely similar to the House of CB version that costs over $200 👀.
A two-piece casual set more comfortable than me on my couch watching TRL way back when (so, yeah...extremely comfortable). It comes complete with a short-sleeved button-down and matching drawstring shorts. Plus, the pattern options are giving ~vacation~ which I KNOW you're in need of!
An affordable, Lululemon-esque longline sports bra featuring built-in padding, meaning you don't need to wear a bra. I repeat, NO BRA NEEDED! If you're like me and throw your bra across the room like a shotput Olympic champion when you get home... just get this top now. Oh and you can hike, work out, and do yoga comfortably in it too, but you know, minor detail in comparison.
A Levi's classic denim jacket with no fancy frills but that brings all the effortless style you can imagine — the key to easy styling. This timeless piece has four pockets, a slightly cropped cut for style points, and the versatility to wear layered with a hoodie on a grocery run or a tulle skirt in front of the Eiffel Tower.
A pair of durable, comfortable classic white sneakers because these days, I refuse to hear my dogs bark for the sake of a cute but uncomfortable logo or brand name. With these shoes, you'll get style, comfort, and the versatility of having a great white shoe that goes with ~everything~. And yes, reviewers rave they're extremely lightweight, too.
A flowy tiered dress you'll love if your style inspo was Jennifer Coolidge in Legally Blonde *and* Jennifer Coolidge in The White Lotus. It's called range, people! And this sweet and simple dress truly has it.
Some stretchy wide-leg jeans that look sooo old school with the cutest button details in front, the ultra-high waist, and the adorable straight-leg fit. If Mandy Moore would have rocked these in her 'Candy' era, that's immediate permission that you can, too! We don't do plain and simple over here, not even with our denim.
A pair of super lightweight ruffled elastic shorts — something you can easily throw on and go but will still have that element of chicness you're looking for.
A drawstring bodycon dress because it's cute, comfortable, AND the perfect amount of thickness for a nice spring day. The high neckline is gorge, but my favorite part is the adjustable ruching on each side.
A well-constructed satin midi skirt that'll fit so well you'll think you're being Punk'd. Don't worry — no Ashton Kutcher jump scares, just a comfortable elastic waistband and soft-to-touch, lightweight material for you to enjoy all season long.
A smocked mini dress worthy of every romantic picnic, bestie brunch, and exciting vacation in your future. It's *incredibly* comfortable and stretchy, so much so that many reviewers consider it the perfect "grow with me" dress during pregnancy!
A versatile floral mesh top with a mock neck and long sleeves, making it *perfect* for springtime layering! Wear this beauty under your favorite dress or on top of a basic spaghetti strap tank, and you'll be bound to have heads turning and people asking, "Where did you get that top!?" Many reviewers even compare it to a much pricier brand that shall not be named 👀.
A button-down blouse because you can wear it on its own, as a cover-up, as a light layer — really, the options are endless. It's a classic piece you need in your closet, no matter the season.
A breezy long-sleeve crochet swimsuit cover-up so that you're prepared to hit the beach or the pool as soon as the warm weather arrives — no time shall be wasted! Now grab your copy of Britney's The Woman In Me memoir to read for the third time, but this time... ~stylishly~ poolside.
A pair of chic striped linen pants worthy of being worn as a pool cover-up, but they're honestly *so* much more. Wear them running errands, on a coffee date, while you're singing Mariah Carey-oke — anything!
Or a pair of affordable drawstring wide-leg pants that give a similar vibe and come in solid colors. The relaxed fit of these linen-blend beauties will make them your spring go-to from now on.
A square-neck top feautring buttery smooth "smoke cloud" fabric and beautiful spring-worthy color options that'll make you want to buy multiple. It's the perfect choice on a nice warm evening — phew I can't wait for those!
A stylish and breathable off-shoulder jumpsuit you can wear while relaxing at home, but easily throw a classic blazer on top when you've got an important meeting. With the jogger-style bottom, you're sure to be comfortable and (effortlessly) cute all day long.
A dreamy, airy V-neck linen dress that'll last you yearssss to come. This Etsy shop specializes in clothing that'll never go out of style and will last through seasons and seasonal trends. This may be a future dress your kid will steal out of your closet to wear!
A pair of high-waisted flowy pants sure to be your go-to all spring long. The split hem and the wide leg make it an easy choice. (And who wants to squeeze into tight skinny jeans anyway?)
A lightweight rickrack-trim sun dress you can wear to the garden wedding, the baby shower, the tropical vacation, and any other warm weather ~events~ that's got you booked and busy this spring! The adorable trim really is the perfect touch, don't ya think?
AND a breezy top-and-shorts set if you're just as obsessed with this trim as Bella was obsessed with Edward (IYKYK). It even features pockets! Now that spring has sprung, go ahead and ~spring~ this into your closet, too.
A long chiffon skirt whose designer must've been aware of the important three F's: flowy, fun, and floral. This stunning piece has a comfy elastic waistband and comes in an array of vibrant colors that can take any white shirt to new, stylish heights (just look at the reviewers below!).
Or a solid-colored flowy maxi skirt if you truly believe that florals in spring are *not* groundbreaking in the least. Luckily there are plenty of options without, including this gorgeous drawstring-waist, tassel-detailed, you-can-wear-it-with-everything maxi!
A stylish overall jumpsuit to take a casual T-shirt to the next level. It has deep pockets, a comfy oversized fit, and even comes in tons of cute prints!
A two-piece matching linen-blend set complete with a one-shoulder crop top and ~adorable~ high-waisted paper bag-style shorts. According to reviewers, both of these pieces are comfy and breathable, making it the perfect choice for one of your vacation 'fits (as long as you're avoiding the White Lotus resorts).
A ~groovy~ pair of flowy chambray pants with a high waist and material so light you'll be tempted to lounge in them... Although these beauties definitely deserve to be seen by the world! The jean look reigns supreme over actual jeans any day.

The Best Sweatpants for Comfort and Style

When I hop into sweatpants, I want to feel like I'm on cloud nine, and both of these sweatpants from Canada-based Roots deliver exactly that sensation (mind you, the pants are made in Cambodia). The reason for that is the brushed fleece on the inside, which is super soft against the skin. The Roots Athletics Sweatpant (64 percent organic cotton, 36 percent recycled polyester fleece) is the more traditional design, with a classic fit that extends down close to my ankles on my 6'4" frame. But I like the Cloud Straight Leg even more. No skin-tight pants here! These are airy, whimsical, and tremendously soft. Made from 80 percent organic cotton and 20 percent recycled polyester fleece, the pants are smooth but plush. They do get a bit warm for the shoulder seasons and summer, but out of the many sweatpants I've tested, I'm happiest with these. — Julian Chokkattu Available Sizes XS to XXL Available Colors Athletics Sweatpant: 2. Cloud Straight Leg: 3 Fabric Details Athletics Sweatpant: 64% organic cotton, 36% recycled polyester fleece. Cloud Straight Leg: 80% organic cotton, 20% recycled polyester fleece Photograph: Louryn Strampe Photograph: Louryn Strampe If millennials are known for skinny jeans, Gen Z is known for the exact opposite of that. Think big, interesting silhouettes, varying waist heights, and different colors and washes. These trendy Lululemon cargos were a bit out of my early-thirties comfort zone. But they're awesome. They've got a mid-rise fit that shows off just the right amount of tummy if you pair them with a crop top, and they're roomy throughout the hips and thighs. The two-way stretch fabric is water-repellent and slightly ribbed, with a lightweight feel that's perfect for summer (or sweating in a dance studio, presumably.) There are pockets galore, including hand pockets with a hidden card sleeve, back pockets, and cargo pockets. All of these pockets are useful, and my phone has yet to fall out of any of them. The waist has a drawstring, and the hems are cinchable to let you adjust how tight they are—a feature I appreciate as a shortie, since I can cinch them up if I don't want them to drag on the ground. These pants run just a little big, and my only complaint is that the hand pockets tend to stick out a bit. (My younger sisters assure me that they look all right, but it still bugs me just a little.) Ultimately, though, I feel super cool when I wear these pants, both temperature- and style-wise. — Louryn Strampe Available Sizes XXXS to XL Available Colors 7 Fabric Details Waistband: 88% nylon, 12% Lycra elastane.
