Going somewhere? Don't automatically reach for a T-shirt and jeans — try this billowy organic cotton dress instead. It packs plenty of drama in the tiered skirt and fluted sleeves, plus the muted colorway is perfectly versatile. Pair with sandals, flats or a pair of heels for an evening out.

You probably have a ton of black leggings already, but these Zella beauties are on another level altogether. Cropped above the ankle, they have a high-waisted rise and a large pocket for cards or keys. They smooth and lift, and are hands-down going to be the best leggings in your rotation.

"These leggings are perfect!" a shopper noted. "Soft but still have plenty of stretch and hold. Pockets are the best!"

Time to retire your nighttime getup (you know, the old T-shirt and flannel Christmas shorts): These pajamas by Honeydew Intimates are way cuter and just as comfy. They're made of a stretchy rayon and spandex blend, and come in three swoon-worthy prints: Leopard, stripes and a moon and stars.

"These are the softest pajamas ever!" a shopper shared. "Perfect for this quarantine period and they even look presentable enough for videoconference calls!"

There's a fine line between boot-cut jeans and bell bottoms, and these cuties by Wit & Wisdom are firmly in the boot-cut side. Modern flourishes abound, including a split hem and slim silhouette.

You're sure to love Ab-Solution's unique power-mesh panel that sucks you in and holds you in place. "Very cute and flattering," confirms a shopper.

Don't confuse this for a plain tee: It has a center seam in the back, rolled cuffs, and is the perfect length for tucking. It's super lightweight too, yet still totally opaque. It runs a little oversized, so size down if you want a more fitted look.

"This is definitely my new favorite basic tee. Very comfortable," shared a shopper.

"Beautifully made," gushed another. "It is so soft when wearing it and seems to really hold up well."

Shop it: Cassidy Tee, $25 (was $38), nordstrom.com

Time to think ahead for fall. These leggings constantly sell out, and for good reason: They look great on just about everyone. They're Spanx, so they hold you in, plus they look great with T-shirts, oversized sweaters and denim jackets. If you see them still in stock in your size, grab 'em and run.

"These are ether best things since sliced bread," a shopper reported. "Never understood that saying, but seems appropriate since I eat bread and these leggings make it look like I don't."

Cole Haan's sleek leather kicks are made with traditional tennis shoes in mind, plus they pack plenty of traction, thanks to the rubber caps at the heel and sole.

"Love the sneakers, very soft and comfortable!" a shopper shared. "They also looks stylish and do not look like just ordinary sneakers. This is my third GrandPro Cole Haan sneakers this year and I'm happy with the quality, style and comfort!"

Shop it: Cole Haan GrandPro Topspin Sneaker, $70 (was $130), nordstrom.com

Says a fan: "It is beyond comfortable. Great for working out or pair it with a light jacket to run errands."
