STYLE WITH: You can wear this pretty prairie dress with flat sandals now and booties in the fall.

USERS SAID: "This could easily pass for a Johanna Ortiz or Ulla Johnson dress from last season. The fabric has a beautiful, heavy drape, and because half of the fabric content is linen, it’s extremely breathable. I wore it to a midday cookout and was totally comfortable!"

BEST FOR: For a subtle take on the utility short trend, you can't go wrong with these beauts. With their breathable fabric and comfy rib-knit waist, you'll want to keep them on 24/7.

WHY YOU NEED IT: Whether you wear it with denim shorts on the weekends or under a blazer at the office, this bodysuit is a total staple that works for all seasons. Go ahead and buy it in every color while it's still in stock.

HELPFUL TIP: Snaps at the bottom mean this bodysuit is a breeze to put on and take off.

BEST FOR: Featuring a seamless design and super cozy ribbed fabric, these bike shorts are an excellent choice for lazy days and lounging.

USERS SAID: "These shorts are amazing! They cinch my waist perfectly but don't squeeze my stomach, and there are so many matching bralettes and camis for them. They've become an everyday quarantine staple!"

LOVED FOR: Whether you're barefoot on the back porch or out on the town, this versatile dress works both ways. Bonus: it's also available in an equally chic midi length.

USERS SAID: "I've been looking for a dress that’s cotton, lightweight, and cool regardless of the color being black. They always say dark colors make you hot in the heat, but this dress is loose fitting and the light cotton fabric helps. It looks adorable on me and I’m only 5’2”. A total win for my hot summer days!"

WHY YOU NEED IT: Shoulder pad tank tops are blowing up big time on Instagram, and most of the options on the market cost quite the chunk of change. This find from Mango looks just as good as designer styles, and it rings up under $30. Act fast—this is definitely going to sell out.
