If you hate shopping for clothes, try these 31 essential items

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.

1. A Tie-Strap Midi Dress

A tie-strap midi dress that will take you through the summer graduation and wedding season in both style and — gasp — comfort. The dress’s vivid colors, ruffled bottom, and fitted bodice will help you live out all your cottagecore princess dreams, while its smocked back, side slit, and adjustable tie-straps will help you be able to actually walk and breathe freely throughout the day.


2. A Cropped Sleeveless Tee

A cropped sleeveless tee for summer days when you’re not sure what you want to wear — you just know you want to look good and keep as cool as humanly possible. This top works on both counts, with larger armholes that allow air to circulate and an elevated athleticwear look that could easily be worn with jeans or a mini.


3. A Pair of Linen-Blend Pull-On Pants

A pair of linen-blend pull-on pants that will instantly find their way into your regular rotation. If you’re looking for some breezy pants but not totally sold on the typical minimal look of linen, these unconventional beauties, with their elastic waistband and drawstring, will be just as comfy.


4. A Poplin Maxi Dress

A poplin maxi dress, because its stomach cutout panel gives it a stylish edge that’s easy to dress up or down: Pair it with flip-flops or chunky sneakers on a weekend afternoon, or get a bit glam with heels and accessories for the office.


5. A 100% Linen Shell Top

A 100% linen shell top, so even if you don’t like the look of tanks, you can stay cool in the impending hot weather (and it is en route, my friend)!!! This top’s slightly oversize cut and linen construction will allow for the kind of airflow that will keep you comfy on those absolutely sweat-soaked summer days.


6. A Contrasting-Pattern Colorblock Tee

A contrasting-pattern colorblock tee, because plain tees have a time and a place, but sometimes, you just want to cut loose (well, cut loose as far as it pertains to T-shirt patterns, anyway). This boxy-cut top looks great tucked in to jeans or joggers, or untucked with some cutoffs.

7. A Tiered Maxi Skirt

A tiered maxi skirt for anyone planning to have a Very Stevie Nicks Summer. This smocked-waist cotton-blend piece brings a hint of ’70s styling to your camisoles or tucked-in tees — especially if you pair it with some calf-length suede boots.


8. A Pair of High-Rise Cropped Wide-Leg Jeans

A pair of high-rise cropped wide-leg jeans for folks who are simply not interested in this whole “low-rise” trend (I certainly do not judge you). These jeans have a slight stretch, allowing them to closely fit your waist and hips before widening, giving you a classic flared silhouette.


9. A Sleeveless Jumpsuit

A sleeveless jumpsuit because its structured corset top and baggy drawstring jogger bottoms come together to create a look that is comfy enough to wear on a plane, yet absolutely stylish enough to wear out to dinner (that’s called “being multi-talented”).


10. A Fit-and-Flare Mini Dress

A fit-and-flare mini dress that simply demands you do some summer twirling in it. The sweetheart neckline and seamed waist give it an ultra-delicate look, but don’t worry, it isn’t actually fragile — its linen-rayon-blend fabric is machine-washable and will last as you wear it over and over again all season.


11. A 100% Linen Camp Shirt

A 100% linen camp shirt because this classic style can go casual or dressy, depending on how you accessorize — but either way, it will keep you cool on those days when it gets so hot, you feel like you can practically see the air.

12. A Button-Front Eyelet Tank

A button-front eyelet tank that’s part Western, part prairie, and all adorable, in a style that would work perfectly anywhere from seeing your favorite bands at a music festival to just kicking back at a BBQ. And reviewers say that this shirt, unlike most tank tops out there, actually covers up your bra straps.


13. A Pair of Showstoppingly Cute Floral-Print Barrel Jeans

A pair of showstoppingly cute floral-print barrel jeans for times when you want to be the center of attention, but in a low-key way. “What? These old (incredibly stylish) things?” — you, acting modest.


14. A Pointelle Henley Shirt

A pointelle Henley shirt that has a hint of retro flair, but looks modern enough to effortlessly pair with your wide-leg jeans.


15. A Totally Unique Puff-Sleeve Button-Up

A totally unique puff-sleeve button-up because its peplum waist, seamed structure, and slightly cropped length make it absolutely different than everything else in your closet. It’s offbeat, but not in a way that makes it hard to style — just in a way that will make it feel like it’s adding a breath of fresh air to your wardrobe rotation.

16. A Plaid Overall Dress

A plaid overall dress that somehow evokes both Rory Gilmore and Cher Horowitz? This quietly preppy piece layers over short and long sleeves, tees and button-downs — and, perhaps most importantly, it has pockets, so you won’t have to choose between feeling chic and losing track of your phone 47 times over the course of the day.


17. A Striped Pastel Puff-Sleeve Cardigan

A striped pastel puff-sleeve cardigan, because its slightly oversize fit and deep V-neck will look amazing tossed over a plain camisole and some layered necklaces.

18. A Scalloped Embroidered Mini Dress

A scalloped embroidered mini dress that, imho, is giving very serious Daisy Jones vibes. The dress’s 100% cotton construction will keep you feeling cool as you pen your ’70s rock ‘n’ roll masterpiece (or hang out and get some coffee with friends — both are equally valid ways to spend your afternoon!).

19. A Pair of High-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans

A pair of high-rise straight-leg jeans, because you found a silhouette you like, and you’re sticking with it, no matter what the dang trends say! The straight leg is a ’90s-inspired style that isn’t tapered like a skinny jean or billowy like the wide-leg pants you see everywhere right now. The high waist looks great with tucked-in shirts, and the medium wash is fantastic for anyone having a CBK moment.


20. A Smocked-Waist Minidress

A smocked-waist minidress that’s a little bit sporty and a little bit chic, making it the perfect piece to take you through pretty much any summer situation that pops up on your calendar. Memorial Day pool party? Outdoor graduation that seems to be taking place on the hottest day of the year? Casual BBQ where you feel like getting a little dressier than a tank and shorts? The seersucker fabric, boat neckline, and keyhole back closure will get you through as stylishly as possible.

21. A Knit Mesh Top

A knit mesh top with a built-in bustier panel that’s sophisticated with just a hint of edginess. I am seeing this tucked into high-waisted pants or layered under a blazer and worn to one of those dimly lit bars where all the cocktails have quirky names. Enjoy this while you toss back a “Don’t You Fernet About Me” or “The Devil Wears Pernod.”

22. A Pair of Leopard Print Overalls

A pair of leopard print overalls, because seriously, do you have any fashion dilemmas that could not be solved by a pair of leopard print overalls? I know I don’t! This comfy and cute wide-leg piece can be worn over a tee and styled like classic overalls, or worn on its own as a jumpsuit — so you’ll get twice as much stylish bang for your buck.


23. A Contrast-Trim Tank

A contrast-trim tank for anyone having a Sporty Spice moment. This ’90s-inspired top looks a bit more pulled-together than your average tank or cami, thanks to the stylish contrast trim — so it can be dressed up with hoop earrings and some wide-leg jeans for an evening out, or paired with your favorite sweats while you bop around town on your many errands.

24. A Barrel-Leg Linen Jumpsuit

A barrel-leg linen jumpsuit because one-pieces are a simple, easy way to look extra chic and polished — and to save a few extra minutes putting an outfit together in the morning.


25. A Classic Single-Breasted Trench Coat

A classic single-breasted trench coat, so you can make it through this and every future transitional weather season in style. The coat’s 100% organic cotton shell, slanted welt pocket, and collar details ensure that it looks neither retro nor trendy, but simple, elegant, and timeless.

26. A Semi-Sheer Mini-Dress

A semi-sheer mini-dress to bring a hint of Y2K styling to your going-out wardrobe. The dress’s bell sleeves and built-in slip dress subtly evoke the era of dial-up internet and Total Request Live — so when you’re feeling a bit retro, but not so retro that you want to wear a Juicy Couture sweatsuit, reach for this.


27. A Vintage-Inspired Pointed-Collar Top

A vintage-inspired pointed-collar top that is certainly giving Olivia Rodrigo vibes, if you ask me. And don’t worry that this will be one of those pieces that’s cute to look at but a nightmare to wear — boxy construction and elasticized sleeve openings mean that this shirt is actually comfy, too.


28. A Boho Skort

A boho skort because folks with sporty style aren’t the only ones who would like to make sure their Underoos don’t make a public appearance. Ruffled and lacy, this baby will complement both the frilly and vintage tops in your wardrobe.


29. A Pair of Rainbow-Embroidered Jeans

A pair of rainbow-embroidered jeans that evoke the freewheeling ’70s with their bellbottom shape and colorful stripes. These pants are the #1 way to see a rainbow without dealing with any rain.


30. A Plunge Crop Top

A plunge crop top reviewers say is basically the “unicorn” of all camisole tops: It’s actually supportive without a bra, even for folks with larger chests. Honestly, that’s so rare that it might actually make it the “unicorn, hanging out with the Mothman, waiting for their best friend Bigfoot to show up” of all camisole tops.

31. A Pair of Straight-Leg Denim Bib Overalls

A pair of straight-leg denim bib overalls, because this style has spent decades as a classic for a reason. These can look clean and preppy or a bit rock ‘n’ roll and grunge-esque — just choose your top and accessories, and watch the piece’s vibe change completely.
