Skip the straight-leg or skinny jeans this summer for something far more comfortable with a boho twist. This wide-leg design strikes a fabulous balance between loose and structured, with just enough rigidity to maintain that slight flare without being stiff. And the adjustable drawstring waist gives the whole thing a supremely cool SoCal vibe I adore. Reviewers also say they’re great for travel, so you may want to get a pair ahead of your next fun excursion.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XXS to 3X, also Petite
- Materials: 64 percent cotton, 36 percent lyocell
2. Anthropologie Beaded Canvas Tote
Anthropologie
I’ve been loving the revival of the canvas tote bag as a cute carry-all, but this version really takes the cake. Its petite size is great for running errands, with ample room for the essentials and then some (like a book and water bottle). Right now there are five food-theme colors to choose from—lemons, apples, corn, lobster and strawberries—all with a delicious summery flare.
FAST FACTS
- Size: 9”Hx 12.25”L x 2.5”D
- Materials: cotton canvas with glass beads and sequins
3. Anthropologie Sleeveless Patchwork Slip Midi Dress
Anthropologie
“I love this patchwork number that elevates a basic floral frock with touches of lace and contrasting patterns,” raves Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida. “I could definitely see myself wearing it to a wedding this summer. Plus, I give it bonus points for the trendy butter yellow hue!” The straps are adjustable, and the whole thing is fully lined to prevent and unwanted sheer moments.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XXS to XL
- Materials: modal and nylon
Varley
I’ve been on the hunt for ages for the perfect tennis-core dress to add to my summer rotation, and this beauty might be just the ticket. I love that it almost looks like two separate pieces (a polo shirt and mini skirt), and the tie at the waist is adjustable—so I can cinch it or let it loose depending on how I’m feeling that day. And, yes, it does have built-in shorts as well.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XS to XL
- Materials: 85 percent nylon, 15 percent elastane
5. Jeffrey Campbell Jellz Flats
Jeffrey Campbell
Love it or hate it, this throw-back millennial shoe is having a major moment for summer 2025. This Jeffrey Campbell pair has a great open weave to help facilitate air flow, and comes in eight cool colors, including black, red and clear. Reviewers say these shoes fit true to size—thought they’re only available in whole sizes, so if you’re between two, you may want to opt for the larger—and are surprisingly comfortable for all-day wear.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: US 6 to 10
- Materials: sythetic
6. NORR Edith Knit Polo Top and Knit Shorts
NORR
Matching sets are a fantastic travel wardrobe hack, giving you so many options to mix and match. This knit set works great as a swimsuit cover up, but can also be worn to explore town or grab a casual lunch. And the three-quarter sleeves and polo collar on the top make it look so effortlessly chic. Just note, both pieces are designed for more of an oversize fit, so if you prefer something slimmer, you may want to consider sizing down.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XS to XL
- Materials: 60 percent cotton, 40 percent acrylic
Another summery spin on an Anthropologie classic, I am elated to add a pair of Colette crops in linen to my existing collection. Lots of PureWow editors adore this easy-to-wear style, specifically the fact that it comes in such a wide size range with petite and tall inseam lengths, as well as plus sizes for nearly every color option. And there are a lot of colors and patterns to choose from, including the timeless off-white hue pictured above, bright raspberry pink and black, white and blue floral.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: US 23 to 34 and US 16W to 26W, also Petite and Tall
- Materials: linen, viscose, elastane
8. Anthropologie Somerset Maxi Skirt
Anthropologie
“I'm in need of a good maxi skirt for summer and I’m eyeing this printed one,” says Associate Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera. “I love the tiered style and all-cotton fabric, and the stretchy, smocked waistband looks completely comfy!” According to reviewers, she’s not wrong about the comfort—between the smocked waistband and lightweight cotton, this maxi is sure to become a seasonal favorite in your outfit rotation.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XXS to XL
- Materials: cotton
9. Reformation Kiria Smocked Maxi Dress
Reformation
Sometimes in peak summer heat, I just can’t be bothered to deal with special undergarments like strapless or backless bras. Luckily, there’s this easy dress from Reformation, which is bra-friendly and incredibly comfortable thanks to the smocked bodice. The material is lightweight and breezy, so I won’t overheat, despite the midi length and puff sleeves. And the gingham print is as classic as it gets for a warm-weather picnic.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: US 0 to 12
- Materials: 50 percent organic cotton, 50 percent Lenzing Ecovero viscose
10. Celandine Tie-Strap Ruffled Gauze Wide-Leg Jumpsuit
Celandine
“I'm obsessed with this jumpsuit,” raves former Associate Sales and Deals Editor Destinee Scott. “It’s airy, it’s got ruffles and it’s cropped so my legs won’t be completely covered up, which is exactly what I wanted. The extra wide legs kind of make it look like a dress, but I'm glad that it's not because this jumpsuit design actually ensures that you'll have even more movement from the top to the bottom. Yes, it’s oversized but that’s the point. It moves like water and looks expensive.”
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XXS to XL
- Materials: 100 percent cotton
11. Anthropologie Fiona Beaded Bag
Anthropologie
This iconic shoulder bag comes in a wide range of cool prints and patterns, including a whole range of food-theme designs. But for me it’s all about this surf-inspired version. It screams summer in all the best ways, and the colors will easily match with just about everything else in my wardrobe. Plus, it’s the ideal size to hold all my daily essentials with just enough room left for a pair of sunnies or extra SPF.
FAST FACTS
- Size: 5’H x 8”W x 1.75”D
- Materials: glass beads and sequins
Sperry
Yes, boat shoes are back, but this time around they tend to have a slimmer silhouette, almost like a sleek loafer or moccasin. This Sperry pair comes in classic chestnut brown or leopard pony hair. They go great with jeans, dresses or even trousers for the office. And according to reviewers, they fit true to size and are wonderfully comfortable.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: US 5 to 11
- Materials: leather upper, rubber sole
13. Anthropologie Somerset Maxi Dress
Maeve
I learned first-hand earlier this year just what it is about this best-selling maxi dress that makes it such a hot wardrobe staple. Beyond the range of incredibly fun prints, it’s also remarkably comfortable and makes me look totally put together. The smocked waist helps define your figure without pinching, and there are deep pockets for storing sunscreen, lip balm or anything else you might want to keep handy. I would say this frock fits true to size, although those with bigger boobs may want to consider going up one as the material doesn’t have a ton of stretch.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XXS to 3X, also Petite
- Materials: cotton
14. Anthropologie Shoe Charm & Laces Set
Anthropologie
If a brand new pair of kicks isn’t in the budget this season, try adding this shoe lace and charm kit to your collection instead. It comes in eight variations, including butter yellow, green gingham and leopard spots, each of which comes with one set of shoe laces and three shoe charms. It’s such an easy and fun way to give your most comfortable sneakers a makeover for under 30 bucks.
FAST FACTS
- Materials: polyester and metal
Want to shake up your go-to ‘fits? Swap that classic chambray shirt for one with a bit more personality, like this puff-sleeve beauty.

FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XXS to 3X, also Petite
- Materials: 100 percent cotton
16. Anthropologie Hawaiian Flower Hair Claw Clip
Anthropologie
Sometimes all you need to transform a casual ‘fit is one great accessory. And this stunning flower hair clip is definitely one to impress. At 5-inches long, it’s large enough to handle thicker hair and longer cuts, and comes in four different tropical colors. Reviewers also say it really stays in place, even with extended wear, so you won’t have to futz with your ‘do too much once it’s set.
FAST FACTS
- Size: 5 inches long
- Materials: polyester and plastic
