1. A pair of extra-wide-leg darted palazzo pants that 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.
Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok, and I had to try them out. I am short, so I was expecting them to be long, but they are very long. I am just gonna get them tailored. I am buying more, though, because they are absolutely beautiful! I've gotten so many compliments on them!" —Bretta Little
Get them from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes XS—2X, short sizes, and 32 colors).
2. A pair of high-waisted palazzo pants you'll be tempted to wear every. single. day. of spring as they're just that freaking comfy. Reviewers also say they're super breathable and surprisingly wrinkle-resistant.
3. A tennis skort with built-in shorts, so you don't have to worry about flashing anyone or chafing! Sounds pretty ideal to me.
Promising review: "SO COMFY AND SO CUTE. I never want to wear anything else haha. They don’t ride up, they’re high-waisted, the fabric is great and not super thin...what more could you want?! Definitely going to get some more in other colors!" —Karen
Get it from Amazon for $21.98 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 14 colors).
4. A stylish overall jumpsuit if you've "lost" the ability to wear real pants (you know, ones with zippers and buttons) after working from home for the last four years.
Promising review: "I got this to be sort of a summer into fall transition item and I’m so surprised by how comfortable it is! If you like things to fit snugly on you, don’t bother getting this because it is loose everywhere unless you tighten it all the way, but it’s super breathable and comfortable! Especially for layering!" —Brie Parry
Get it from Amazon for $27.89+ (available in sizes XS–5X and 13 colors).
5. 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 go."
Promising reviews: "This skirt is absolutely stunning! The quality is amazing for the price. I’ve bought similar skirts at other stores that are $60+ but this one is the best I’ve owned. You won’t regret it!" —Abby
"I love this skirt! Adds a bit of fancy to any occasion! I love the merlot color but I’m probably going to buy another. Very comfortable, and I put it in the dryer on the wrinkle-free setting, and it came out perfect! True to size too." —C.Pappas
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 20 colors).
6. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers say are comparable to Lululemon Align Joggers — but for less than 30 bucks. 💃 🤸
Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style, and they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" —Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 20 colors).
7. A three-tier bohemian skirt that will have you feeling yourself so much, you'll stop for impromptu photo shoots anytime you pass something even remotely ~aesthetic~. AKA a flowering tree, some impressive graffiti, or even just a patch of well-watered grass.
Promising reviews: "This, by far, is my most favorite skirt. I am a skirt-wearier anyways, so I have quite a few. Every time I wear it I get several compliments. I pair it with several tops. It fits great, is lightweight, and has a half-slip already sewn into it. I have now bought three more of these in different colors." —Sherry Charlene Seres
"I have about five of these skirts. I am a teacher, and they are comfortable and wash well. They can be worn year-round. I highly recommend this product." —meme
Get it from Amazon for $31.98+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 17 colors/prints).
8. Or a similar high-waisted midi skirt but with a leg slit you can pop your thigh out of for a lil' sun.
Promising reviews: "I wasn’t sure I was going to like this skirt when I bought it. Even when I received it, I wasn’t ‘sure’ as it was out of my comfort zone. But I wore it and it grew on me and I received lots of compliments so I knew I made a good decision. The fit is perfect on me, and the colors just pop and make you look vibrant!" —Zulema
"This skirt is so elegant and comfortable and flows through the wind like I’m a princess or something idk. It is awesome. I usually wear a size 10 in pants so I ordered an XL and I actually had quite a bit of room. I could have ordered an L but I like to have extra room, so I’m happy about it. Looks just like the picture. No complaints :)" —Mica
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 31 colors/prints).
9. Some budget-friendly high-waisted leggings if you've not only sworn off jeans, but *any* bottoms that aren't made of at least 5% spandex.
Promising review: "So soft and silky, nice and thin and breathable. Stretches perfectly, always comfortable never feels tight across the stomach, but with enough elasticity to not feel like they are going to show your butt crack! Buying my second round now. The first round lasted over a year and are still in good condition, with minimal pilling, only right in the crotch area with friction. No fading, and no shrinking!" —Leah Lynch

11. A stretchy tank top jumpsuit so comfortable and stylish, you can even wear it to bed and then roll through the next day without a wardrobe change.

Get them from Beginning Boutique for $74.99 (available in sizes 0–14 and in seven colors/patterns).
15. A high-waisted swing skirt that's as easy to style as a trusty pair of jeans. Add a tank, tee, sweater, or jean jacket on top and go wild with your footwear — there's no wrong way to finish the equation.
Promising review: "I love, love, love this skirt! I love it so much that I immediately bought four more in different colors. It’s high-waisted and the perfect length without being too short.

Get them from Anthropologie for $158 (available in sizes XXS–XL).

19. A pair of cropped, feather-light pants that do 👏 not 👏 wrinkle 👏 and offer UPF 50+ protection if you manage to burn in a flash.
I have these in black, and they are my go-to pants for travel days — especially ones that involve flying. The wide-leg design/silky fabric is ultra-comfortable, the pockets are large enough for smartphones, boarding passes, and passports, and the elastic waist/drawstring sitch guarantees there's no pinching or bagging even if you're sitting and/or standing for an incomprehensible amount of time. The sides also have some subtle darting that take them up a notch in the ~fashun~ department.
Promising review: "I can't think of anything I don't like about this pant. The material is wonderful and easy to care for. I like the crop as you can so easily dress them up or down. I have found that traveling with two pairs of these, four or five tees, a wrap, a pair of sandals and flats, and wearing sneakers, I can be gone for a week in a carry-on only. Couldn't live without them." —LaVon V
Get them from Athleta for $89 (available in women's sizes 0–26 regular, tall, and petite, and in three colors).

Promising review: "These reach the PERFECT balance of extra and casual. Unexpectedly comfy for the price point. On a scale of one to Kim K, I feel like I just divorced Kris Humphries and found my earring in the ocean. Kanye has not even made an appearance. Anyway, back to the actual shorts, they are stretchy and reach almost to underboob on me, so they can work for taller people they'll just be less extremely high-waisted depending on your torso length. Buy now for sure." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $16.50+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 15 colors/prints).
21. A machine-washable (!!!) satin mini skirt prepared to pull the weight of your entire outfit.
Promising review: "This is the perfect silk skirt! It’s comfortable and perfect for all seasons. I’ve washed it several times (delicate cycle, cold, hang dry, then steam to get out wrinkles) and it’s held up very well! Highly recommend and will be purchasing in other colors." —Hannah

Promising review: "I love, love, love these cargos! They fit so nice (and they make your butt look nice lol) I want to get every color. I could have sized up because of the drawstring, but I still like how they fit! I get compliments on them so much." —Asia

25. An easy peasy unitard that'll make you feel like an Olympic athlete even though the only competitive sport you've ever taken part in is a Bachelorette bracket.
Promising review: "*Squidward voice*: Fuuuuuuutuuuure. This item of clothing is streamlined, comfortable, and above all — the future.

Promising review: "I saw this skirt in the store and instantly fell in love with it!! the fabric is flowy, the band is flexible and comfortable while holding you in the right places, and the length provides the perfect coverage! The best part is that it comes with shorts underneath providing extra comfort and coverage. The fit and design makes you cool and comfortable in the hot weather and the cute and simple design makes it easy to style with any clothes!!" —beholdenheart
