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

Promising review: “Love these!!! Super flowy, lightweight, and surprisingly well-fit. They wash and dry incredibly well, no wrinkles after drying. I’m planning on buying more.” —PBMC

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

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

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

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

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

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

Promising reviews: “Bought this cause I saw a girl on TikTok wear it. And I was very happy with what I received. This type of set is hit-and-miss. This is a hit. I sized up for a more oversized look, and it was perfect! I recommend!” —Rosemary Andreas

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. If you’re on the fence… get the skirt! I found the polka-dotted ones are true to size while the florals are more snug with less stretch.” —Kara DiBie

Promising review: “I originally saw these pants on TikTok and am always looking for cute work pants, so I decided to order, and I’m so glad I did.

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

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

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

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

Really impressed with them, very generous waistband which is so so important.” —Meghan H.
