If florals and pastels aren't really your thing, this list is for you.
Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A cropped tank top-style sports bra that has rave reviews for providing support without skimping on comfort. It features removable cups for a more customized feel and the sweat-wicking material makes it perfect for intense workouts.
Promising review:"Super amazed at how much I love this freaking top. First of all, it looks great and really holds those puppies down if you know what i mean. Then it's also super comfortable. It feels way better than wearing a separate sports bra and top but works just as good or even better than some of my sports bras. It doesn't dig in and cut off circulation like most of the sports bras I own and to test this theory I slept in this top and wore it a total of 17 hours, then took pictures of where there would typically be lines in the skin and there was practically nothing there. I worked out in the top for 45 minutes and never had to readjust it once. I've already ordered another one and told all my workout buddies about it." — Corbin G.
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 28 other colors).
2. A pair of high-waisted biker shorts for those of you who just can't give up the comfort of leggings but don't want to trap in extra heat. These give you the same comfort level while allowing your legs to breathe. This particular pair is loved since the waistband stays put all day long and for the spacious pockets!
Promising review:"I have worn these shorts at near-100-degree temps, and the fabric didn't cause any excess sweating or irritation. I did purchase another brand and the difference is unbelievable. If you are looking, just get them and you'll see." — Twinkie
Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL, three lengths, and 33 other colors).
3. A pair of casual cotton-linen blend overalls with a spring-friendly loose fit so you'll have plenty of room to get your Mamma Mia on and dance around like Meryl Streep dodging three potential baby daddies on a Greek island. It's also perfect for gardening since it'll keep your knees covered and protected while you tend to your spring flowers.
Promising review:"I just wanted these for kicking around in the garden and they have worked great for I own three pairs now. They're lightweight and good for warmer days." — C. Zittel
Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 12 other colors).
4. An A-line pleated skirt, because spring is practically designed for twirling around in the grass and living your best influencer life. Reviewers note that it's true to size, and the waistband gives the perfect amount of stretch while still staying in place.
Promising review:"The skirt is as beautiful as I imagined it would be; it's exactly as pictured. It's very comfortable, and due to the elastic waistband, very forgiving as far as fit. It's perfect for work or a casual day out." — Elayne
Get it from Amazon for $28.79 (available in sizes XS–2XL and seven other colors).
5. A bestselling pair of Amazon Essentials flats — they've become a favorite of over 49,000 reviewers. ‼️ They're super flexible right out of the package and extremely lightweight, so you'll basically be reaching for them all the time.
Promising review:"These shoes are pretty much the fanciest ones I've worn since the pandemic started — I'm usually in slippers, flip-flops, or sneakers. And I have to say — these are just as comfy as any of those. I've probably owned 50 pair of ballet flats over the years, and I'd rank these right up there with shoes that cost three or four times as much. They fit perfectly (I love that they come in wide!) and are so comfortable to wear, even if you're doing lots of walking. Even though they're not leather, they do have some give to them. I'm so glad I bought several colors and will probably buy more!" — CaliGirl89Top
Get them from Amazon for $14.06+ (available in sizes 5–15, two widths, and 21 other colors).
6. An extremely popular jumpsuit that's become a bit of a viral sensation — and for good reason. Reviewers say it's stylish enough to run errands in yet soft enough for curling up on the couch, so you'll probably be wearing this 24/7. Plus, flight attendants swear by it since it's super easy to pack and wrinkle-resistant!
Promising review:"Made very well. Nice breathable fabric that isn't too thick/heavy but also isn't cheap or too thin. It's very soft, lightweight, and flows nicely. Nice quality. I'm always extremely skeptical about elastic waists because they can kill a look; I was ECSTATIC to find that this isn't your average elastic waist. It gathers just enough to give definition between torso and hips and isn't even close to being too tight or snug around the turnout. Seriously, I was so excited. The off-shoulder neckline is sexy and feminine, and living in Arizona, between having a shoulder exposed and putting my hair up, it makes me feel 50% cooler in the hot temps. Love it." — Holly
Get it from Amazon for $24.61+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 31 other colors).
7. Or a super comfy jumpsuit with spaghetti straps and ultra-wide legs for a more flowy design. But be warned: you'll probably end up picking up a few more, so you can wear them basically every day. Actually, just get ahead of the curve and buy 'em now — your future self will be so grateful.
Promising review: "The knit fabric is buttery soft and airy. I like the way it falls and the versatility of adding tops beneath. The adjustable straps are great, It's comfortable for lounging around the house but can be dressed up for going out. I love the three colors I got, and above all, you can throw it in the washer and dryer, and it comes out perfectly." — Kathie B.
Get it from Amazon for $23.70+ (available in sizes S–4XL and 18 other colors).
8. Or!!! A sleeveless mock-neck jumpsuit — it's basically the definition of "comfy, but make it fashion." Your co-workers might get tired of seeing you wear it every week, but that's their problem, not yours.
Promising review: "This is a very versatile jumpsuit and is incredibly comfortable. It has a zipper, so it makes it easy to take on and off. The material is really nice and can be worn in very hot and humid weather, or in spring or fall. I wash it on gentle in the washing machine and hang it to dry. It doesn't get wrinkled. It looks great on my curves! A great find! I had purchased one in black and decided to get the teal as well." — LMarie
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in S–2XL and 24 other colors).
9. A pair of leggings that'll quickly wick away any sweat from your skin to help cool you down. Reviewers say the waistband stays in place all day long, and there's even a secret back pocket that's the perfect size for cards or keys.
Girlfriend Collective
Promising review:"These are the best tights and fit like a dream. I routinely deadlift and squat 125+ pounds and sweat a ton, and these provide support, do not slip down, provide great coverage, and keep me cool." — Stephanie
Get it from Girlfriend Collective for $88 (available in sizes XXS–6XL and 14 other colors).
10. Or a pair of jeggings if you want the look of jeans without having to put up with a stifling denim prison around your legs. Let's continue to leave real jeans in 2019 where they belong. This particular pair is a hit with reviewers for keeping its shape all day long, which real jeans almost never do.
Promising review:"These are great jeggings! They are so comfortable, just the right amount of stretch and do not lose their shape. They wash up well without shrinking. Jeans or any pants for that matter, are tough for me to buy. I have a big caboose and athletic but not thick thighs. Usually jeans are too big in the thighs if they fit my butt, not these! They hug every curve wonderfully without making me feel like a sausage and no gaping material!" — Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $18.72+ (available in sizes XS–2XL, three lengths, and 10 other colors).
11. Or! A knee-length pair of leggings to give your legs a little extra breathing room thanks to the shorter design. Best of all, reviewers say these are light enough to be cooling during warm weather yet are not so thin that they're see-through.
Promising review:"Living in Florida, I look for comfortable hot weather clothes. The fact that they are a cotton-based spandex makes them more breathable than others. They wash and dry well without shrinkage, and are fine for casual wear, around the house or running to the supermarket. A couple of pairs of these are summertime basics for me." — Beach Lover
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–7X and 38 other colors).
12. A versatile racerback crop top that's double-lined in the chest area so you can ditch the bra on those super hot spring days that are right around the corner.
Amazon
Promising review:"I am in love with this top! It's thick enough to not need a bra but not so thick that it's hot and uncomfortable. Doesn't ride up or roll around the seams and edges. You could wear it to workout, be casual, or dress it up. Definitely snagging this in every color." — Shelbie Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and in 28 other colors).
13. A loose-fit top with floaty bell sleeves to add an extra touch of drama to your look and let you channel your inner butterfly — but you know, without the garish colorful wings. The sheer panels on the sleeves give it a bit of extra flair to make it stand out from the dozens of other black tops in your closet at the moment.
Promising review:"I loved this top so much that I bought it in red. I had already purchased it in black. I love the look and fit. It's dressy enough to be worn with skirts or slacks, but also for a more casual look with jeans." — SilkLich
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in sizes XS–2XL and 14 other colors).
14. A black racerback tank top — it's technically a "basic," but its high halter neckline and long curved hem makes it stand out from all the truly basic tanks out there.
Amazon
Promising review:"Great top!! I live in Hawaii and am always in the sun so I love a high-necked top that covers my chest. This one is extremely comfortable and flattering. It has a loose fit and the fabric is both light and super soft, but opaque enough that you can wear without a bra." — Maui Jill
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 37 other colors).
15. Or a tank top that will stand out amongst all your others, thanks to the comfy-chic crew neckline and mesh inset. It's slightly dressier than your usual tank but will still keep you cool and ventilated.
Torrid
Promising review: "This is a cute top! The V-neck is deeper than it looks. A black V-neck camisole worked under it so I can wear it to work. Going out, no problem!" — Katbar87
Get it from Torrid for $35.90 (available in sizes 00–6 and also in deep taupe).
16. A popular maxi dress with short sleeves, but a super long length, making it perfect for those transitional days when it's way too warm for a black jacket but not quite hot enough for black shorts. Oh, and it has pockets!
Promising review:"This dress is lightweight enough to wear in warmer weather, and I'm looking forward to wearing it with tights and a long cardigan well into cooler months. A blank canvas to accessorize as you like with long necklaces, boho bracelets, a wide-brimmed hat. Looks great with sandals, probably cute with snow boots. All around a versatile, staple piece. I imagine it'd be great for capsule collections.
I live with a dog who sheds fur furiously (ha), and I was easily able to shake his fur out of the dress and still go out in public. The fabric doesn't hold on to fur and, if you get a dark color, is fairly forgiving to messes and stains throughout the day, for those of us who are inclined to be a little clumsy." — Amber
Get it from Amazon for $29.59+ (available in sizes S-3XL and 41 other colors and styles).
17. Or this version that has an extra comfortable sleeveless racerback design because wearing a dress doesn't mean you can't soak up a little sun. And yes, it also has pockets!
Promising review:"I love the fit of this dress. Perfect fit on top without squeezing, and nice flowing drape from a sort of empire waist, making for a very comfortable and forgiving style. The length is perfect, just to the top of the foot, so I can walk in flip-flops (or bare feet in the house) w/o tripping. And of course, can't beat a dress with pockets." — Amazon Customer fb
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 31 other colors).
18. A pair of Sanuk Yoga Slings, which are basically like little wearable hammocks for your feet. The footbed is made with real yoga mat material, so you'll feel slightly more zen with every step.
Promising review:"I bought these for my first cruise. I was told there would be a lot of walking on the ship and in ports. DEFINITELY wanted to be comfortable. These were my go to shoes for the whole trip. Having the fabric straps around my heel and over the arch of my foot felt very secure and comfortable. No rubbing from the thong between my toes and the soles offered support and soft cushioning. These shoes are also very light on your foot. I will be purchasing in more colors!!!!" — Jenifer
Get it from Amazon for $17.59+ (available in sizes 5–11 and seven other colors).
19. Or! A pair of sandals that are less than $30 but look like they cost more than twice the price. It's time to free your toes — they've been locked up in your house slippers for far too long. Reviewers say these are lightweight, comfy, and wide-feet-friendly!
Promising review:"I LOVE these sandals and have bought them in several colors. I was reluctant at first because my feet are very narrow, but a size 7 fit me exactly as my other size 7 shoes do. The buckles are also adjustable for those with narrow or wide feet. They are super comfortable and provide a good amount of arch support. I used to get hip pain from walking in flip flops, but I haven't had it since I've worn these. I really love the variety of colors and how they go with shorts, sundresses, or even jeans. I wear them when I'm gardening, as house slippers, and going out. I would highly recommend these sandals, especially because of how cheap they are compared to many other shoes." — Kat Platt
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and 35 other colors).
20. A stretchy "freezer dress" with moisture-wicking fabric, temperature-regulating technology, and UPF 30 sun protection, making it perfect for anyone who overheats the second they step outside.
Promising review:"This dress is SO comfy! Looks great as a casual dress and just as great as any 'dressy' dress. I love the feel of the material. Even on a hot day, it is very comfortable and doesn't stick to you." — Zuumn
Get it from Amazon for $31+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 55 other colors).
21. A pair of lightweight athletic shorts — they're technically made for running, but we won't judge if they make you too comfortable to even think about exercise. They're also designed to dry super quickly, so you'll be good to go if any sweat or pool water threatens to ruin your loungewear-chic vibe.
Promising review:"If you haven't purchased yet, go ahead and do it right now! These are the comfiest running shorts. I've got bigger hips/butt which makes finding running shorts a tad harder. Other popular brands feel restrictive, but these have an extra give to them. They come up a little higher than most running shorts — which I love; even with them coming up higher, they do not look too short or like booty shorts. I've already ordered three additional pairs." — Haley LeBarron
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 22 other colors).
22. Or a pair of casual shorts made with a cozy jersey material that are just as perfect for running errands as they are for lounging around on the couch. Reviewers say they're "loose and airy," so sweat won't even think about showing up when you've got these on.
Promising review:"Became my favorite shorts. I actually bought them for doing sports, but now I just wear them all the time. Super comfy!" — nanaschka
HuggingBearr is a small Etsy shop based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria that specializes in handmade jewelry and fashion.
Get them from HuggingBearr on Etsy for $22.85+ (originally $30.46+; available in sizes XS–XL and three inseams).
23. A linen shirtdress so you can ditch the boring shirt-and-shorts combo while upgrading to the T-shirt's much more chic and sophisticated cousin. The wrinkle-resistant linen fabric makes it perfect for busy mornings when you just want to throw something on and enjoy the spring weather before it drifts away.
Promising review: "I bought this dress in my normal size towards the end of pregnancy, and it quickly became a daily staple. So easy to throw on and love the cool linen fabric. Will be purchasing in other colors!" — Sara TM
Get it from Everlane for $128 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and four other colors).
24. A pair of joggers that actually won't make you overheat once you put them on! These are made with 'AIRism' fabric, which is designed to absorb moisture and dry quickly. It also feels cool to the touch and controls any odors caused by excess sweat.
Promising review: "These joggers are what I have been looking for! Perfectly breathable and comfortable in warm or cool weather. True to size but slightly long on my short legs. I'm thrilled to have three colors!" — Dee Dee
Get it from Uniqlo for $29.90 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and four other colors).
25. A loose-fitting romper, which is the ultimate lazy spring fashion must-have. You'll still get the comfort of your favorite shirt-and-shorts combo, but something about combining them into one piece really elevates the silhouette. Don't question it; it's just the rules of fashion. Plus, several reviewers note that the stretchy material makes it feel lightweight and simple to wear.
Promising review: "I bought this romper in army green just to have something simple and casual to accessorize and wear for my birthday a few months ago. As basic as it may seem, this outfit has drawn compliments EVERY single time I've worn it! I was actually really surprised, because although I really do like it a lot, I wouldn't have thought that it was something that would attract the attention of strangers, but inevitably, at least two people compliment me on it whenever I wear it." — L. Williamson
Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 18 other colors).
26. A pair of pants so soft and cozy, one reviewer said they feel like pajamas! These are meant to look like dress pants while mimicking the feel of your favorite barely-there leggings so you can feel dressed up without sacrificing comfort.
Promising review:"I love these pants! The material is soft and very durable, and the stretch waistband sits perfectly. My favorite part is the POCKETS! I've never owned a pair of dress pants with pockets big enough to fit my whole phone." — Whitney B.
Get them from Universal Standard for $94 (available in sizes 00–40 and six other colors; also available with a zipper or pintuck).
27. A mini dress with versatile sleeves you can wear on- or off-the-shoulder, so you can easily switch up your style as you leave brunch and head to the farmer's market. The elasticized waist also means it's super easy to breathe in and stretchy.
Promising review: "I adore this dress. I wish it came in other prints and colors; I would buy one in every shade!" — Lisa K.
Hermoza is a woman-owned and Latinx-co-owned brand with a focus on creating classic, timeless silhouettes with high-quality materials. Its name comes from the Spanish word hermosa, meaning "beautiful."
Get it from Hermoza for $114 (originally $228; available in sizes XS–L and also in a blue floral print).
28. A polka-dot organza-sleeve bodysuit that'll add an elegant touch to your fave jeans in early spring or your go-to shorts once summer is around the corner. The sheer sleeves make it flowy and flouncy, so it basically combines the look of an elegant blouse with the comfiness of a trusty tank top.
29. A strapless bustier reviewers say is super supportive and fits true-to-size. It's made of breathable mesh and has a backless design so you'll feel as easy and breezy as the flowers swaying in the wind.
Promising review: " Beautiful, simple, and so worth the money! It's super breathable and perfect for hot days." — Amanda
Another promising review:"I purchased this corset after watching a TikTok video of another mid-size girl talking about how great it is. It did not disappoint! It fits nicely. I got lots of compliments on it! Someone else pointed out to me that the fabric looks expensive and just like another bustier listed on PrettyLittleThings for over twice the price." — Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes 00–18 and in 11 other colors).
