Once mid-summer rolls around, it’s usually time to ditch your sweatshirts altogether, even on the coolest nights. Still, sunset walks, concerts in the park, and book reading on the beach may call for a lightweight layer—one that can be thrown over your favorite swimsuit or a strapless pull-on romper.
A lightweight button-down shirt should do the trick; this versatile layer will protect you from the sun’s harsh rays on days when your skin has had its fill of sunscreen. You can layer it over a basic tank and pair it with cutoff jean shorts or linen pants. Short-sleeve versions can be accessorized and worn to work, and gauze-like tunics make great swim cover-ups. You can find our picks on Amazon, and they’re all under $30.

When temperatures soar to almost boiling, out come the tank tops, the hero of every summer wardrobe. And honestly, what other summer garment can you rely on when you’re headed out for errands, suiting up for work, and layering for a night out?
They pair perfectly with linen shorts, our favorite denim, and flouncy maxi skirts. They also work well beneath loose T’s, overalls, and lightweight layers. And they keep on rocking into fall and winter under blazers, shackets, cozy sweaters, and more.
Amazon has scores of affordable, flattering styles that ship fast and slip seamlessly into your summer looks. These best-selling tanks—including cotton basics, breezy linen styles, and luxe-looking satin tops—are as comfy as they are versatile. Read on for 16 of our favorites, and why shoppers say no closet is complete without them.
Amazon Essentials Women's Slim-Fit Tank Tops, Pack of 2
Solid day-to-day basics are the foundation of every wardrobe, and more than 51,000 five-star ratings say these tank tops from Amazon Essentials are the ones to beat. They come in packs of two, in either matching shades or complementary colors, and they earn high marks for their “slim but not too tight” cut, gentle stretch, wrinkle resistance, and light weight. Shoppers especially love the bra-friendly straps, the generous, tuckable length, and their array of summery colors. Starting at less than $6 each, these are an undeniably good deal.
Blooming Jelly Satin V-Neck Tank Top
This satiny tank is one of those tops that you’ll want in multiple colors, one shopper said. Good thing it’s available in more than a dozen stylish options, including animal print and cherry red. Fabric-covered buttons and pleating at the shoulder give this sleeveless shirt an elevated look reviewers love. “It drapes beautifully and feels comfortable all day long,” according to one five-star reviewer. ”The V-neck is flattering without being too low, and it's easy to dress up or down.” The verdict? It’s a “great piece to have in your wardrobe for a polished, effortless style.”
Funtour Boho Lace Tie-Front Tank
We love the look of this airy white tank top, with its loads of lace and gauzy feel. It has a babydoll cut and slightly cropped length, with tons of camisole-like details that give a relaxed, Bohemian vibe, including lace appliqués, ladylike buttons, frilly edging, and a self-tying closure. Reviewers confirm it looks great with broken-in denim, breezy linen pants, high-waist leggings—even over swimsuits—and one shopper called this “super cute top, perfect for the hot Texas summer.”

The humble white T-shirt is a basic, yet essential, part of every wardrobe. The classic piece is beloved because it’s perfect to dress up or down and pair with jeans, shorts, and skirts, whether you’re styling outfits for work or planning what to wear for a night out with friends. And to make your search short, we found just the right white T-shirt to add to your capsule wardrobe from Amazon for just $13.
Automet V-Neck T-shirt
The Automet T-shirt comes in sizes S to 3XL, so not only will it fit most body types, but buyers can even opt for a couple different sizes to for a more snug or loose fit. It has short sleeves and a flattering v-neck, and it’s also a bit longer than some tees, hitting at mid-hip level, which makes it easier to tuck in or to wear out to have some coverage when paired with leggings. Plus, you can shop the tee in 18 different colors, so if you love the way the white one looks, you can easily add other options to your wardrobe thanks to the affordable price.
Automet’s white T-shirt is made from 82 percent polyester, 12 percent rayon, and 6 percent spandex, making it a soft, breathable, and wrinkle-free top with a little stretch that’s suitable to wear in any season. While the basic white T-shirt is great for daily wear, it’s also specifically excellent for travel because the fabric isn’t prone to wrinkles, which is key for long flights and taking plenty of steps through airports and cities with luggage in tow.
With over 1,400 perfect ratings and hundreds of five-star reviews, shoppers are eager to share why they keep reaching for the Automet T-shirt. One five-star reviewer liked the T-shirt’s soft fabric and the true-to-size fit, saying, “Ordered a second in white since we all need a great white tee. Washes up nicely, and I hang it to dry.” Another reviewer loved the T-shirt’s fit and “breathable” feel, and bought one in several colors: “I was pleasantly surprised how soft and comfortable these T-shirts are. I ordered three colors for the price, and [I am] probably going to order more.”
The Automet white T-shirt is a must-have for every closet and every capsule wardrobe. It comes in a range of sizes, has a comfortable fit and high quality fabric, and for the price, is an excellent addition to everyone’s clothing repertoire. And there’s even more standout Amazon tees to shop below.

I just love the feel of natural fibers against my skin, and cashmere (a highly-regarded luxury fabric) is no exception. Cashmere makes the perfect layering piece for spring, one that can even segue into summer. And similar to merino wool, this knit fabric keeps you warm when it’s cool and cool when it’s warm, wicking moisture away from the body. Plus, there’s no need to wear a cami underneath, as cashmere is soft enough to wear next-to-skin as a stand-alone piece.
But this extravagant fabric, with its labor-intensive production process, often comes with a hefty price tag. That is—unless you cut off the sleeves and put it on sale! Surprisingly, I found a cashmere tee, with a slim cut and capped sleeves, and it’s just $45. You heard me right—a cashmere top for less than $50! This piece from Quince is exactly the trendy spring piece I’m looking for, and can now afford.
Mongolian Cashmere Tee
Quince’s Mongolian Cashmere Tee is “lightweight luxury, redefined,” as the brand likes to state. Designed as a layering piece for warmer months, this ethically produced tee is remarkably soft and breathable. Its slim fit pairs well with jeans or flowy pants, and the 20 colorways (I love the raspberry color for spring), including three classic stripes, offer an option to suit any style. This shirt features a ribbed neckline, hem, and sleeves, and a 12-gauge knit for a flattering drape.
One five-star reviewer calls this tee “a versatile top.” They said it’s light enough to be worn in the summer and can easily be layered for colder months. Another shopper said, “This tee is so soft and light. It's perfect for spring or fall.” They noted its tailored fit that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.
You can feel good about shopping at Quince (I know I do), as its commitment to making beautiful clothing from natural fibers is unparalleled. Shop this simple yet versatile Mongolian Cashmere Tee for just $45—it would make a great Mother’s Day gift, too!

In a few months, I’m heading to Paris where I’ll be a bridesmaid in the wedding of my two close friends. Being a part of a destination wedding like that takes a lot of planning, and a lot of packing, too. Luckily, I’m no stranger to packing for a wedding weekend; my own nuptials in the Catskills was a three-hour journey, and I’ve packed for weddings in Greece and Mexico in the past. Still, I enlisted the help of pro stylist Zoé DeFour to create the perfect wedding weekend packing list. DeFour helps clients pack for vacation, and specializes in picking versatile wardrobe pieces for a variety of outfits for a variety of occasions—all in a single carry-on.
“I always recommend focusing on versatility, whether you are packing for a weekend getaway, formal event, or in this case, a wedding,” DeFour tells Real Simple. “Having options that can allow you to dress up or dress down, and can be worn again to create a whole new look with a simple change of shoes or accessories. Here are some general tips you may find useful:
Tip #1: Lay out everything you'll be wearing to the wedding, including undergarments, jewelry, shoes, and accessories. Have everything pressed or steamed beforehand. You can always touch up when you unpack.
Tip #2: I am a huge believer in fitting everything into carry-ons. You cannot afford to have a missing piece of luggage. Check the carry-on for the return if you want.
Here are DeFour’s top picks for what to pack for a wedding weekend. Prices start at $20.
Teddify Satin Maxi Skirt
“This is a fantastic piece to travel with—super packable and versatile,” DeFour says, picking the silk A-line skirt in olive green. “For a pre-event activity day trip (wine tastings, tours, etc.), pair it with a slip-on sandal, bootie, or trainers, a denim jacket, and a cute T-shirt, or a nighttime look with a bodysuit, leather jacket, and jewelry.”
Wrangler Authentic Stretch Denim Jacket
“I adore the cut of this Wrangler denim jacket,” DeFour explains. “The dark denim choice enhances the appearance [and is] a timeless design that is forever on trend.” DeFour also calls it “your ‘go-to’ jacket to style with skirts, white denim, or joggers. The options are endless,” she adds.
Mangopop Square Neck Bodysuit
“The square neck body suit looks great on every body shape,” DeFour explains. “It will smooth and contour under your skirts/pants, keeping them tucked in and nice. I recommend sizing up in bodysuits so that they are not too tight. It should skim the body. The cotton/elastine combination is airy and simple to care for, plus it’s double lined!”
DeFour also recommends sticking to a specific color palette to get the most wear. “Neutrals such as black, white, and brown are quite flexible for your travel wardrobe,” she adds.
Vicki Vicki Platform Wedges
Another must-have that should be on your wedding weekend packing list, according to DeFour, is a versatile wedge sandal. “Don’t you love a good espadrille? This super chic sandal for daytime walking or playing croquet. The neutral shade elongates the leg. Style with a maxi, skirt, or denim for an elegant daytime approach,” DeFour says.
Coutgo Slingback Kitten Heels
In lieu of high-high heels, DeFour a more flexible shoe that can be worn outside of the wedding dance floor, too. “I love these elegant lace sling backs,” DeFour says. “I do have these, and get compliments. I love the heel height as it’s not too high that they can’t be worn all day, and dancing into the night.”
She adds that the heels are “gorgeous to dress up a pair of denim, or worn with the slip skirt.” In her own life, DeFour has worn them “with tights and a leather skirt during the colder months,” mentioning that these kitten heels feel “very designer,” but without the hefty price tag.
Milan Chiva Nylon Tote Bag
If you’re leaving home for more than a few hours at a time, a spacious tote bag is non-negotiable, so it’s no wonder that DeFour recommends bringing it along on a weekend getaway. According to DeFour, this foldable bag is “ideal for day outings to the market” but also serves “as an extra tote for any purchases made during your weekend wedding excursions.”
Iwemek Floral Embroidery Dress
This Fit and Flare Cocktail Dress is the star of the show (well, your show; obviously, the bride is the real star!). DeFour calls it “my favorite wedding guest look.” She continues, “A fit and flare cocktail dress with its beautiful, delicate embroidered tulle overlay is subtly elegant, flattering, and can easily work for a garden wedding or cocktail event.”
Dexmay Quilted Vegan Leather Crossbody
“This neutral crossbody bag definitely has chic vibes and can be styled day to evening,” DeFour says. “It’s large enough to fit your phone, eyewear, makeup, and mints.”
LeanTravel Compression Packing Cubes
If you’re going to fit all your wedding weekend essentials into nothing but a carry-on, you’re going to need DeFour’s best-kept packing secret: the LeanTravel Compression Packing Cubes. “I love and use these compression cubes for all my trips,” DeFour gushes. “On my last trip, I packed my new silk skirt, sandals, top, and bodysuit in a cube, and put in my tote carry-on to organize any daytime wear.”
The best style tip I’ve learned is layering, layering, layering, and it’s one that even the style pros can get behind. But while it may seem on par during the cold winter months, I can tell you—as someone who has mastered the technique after many years of never being appropriately dressed for the weather—that transitional layers are perfect for the unpredictability of spring, too.
Below, I’m sharing the transitional clothing pieces from Target that I fully plan on investing in as the weather changes. Each pick is versatile, as many are neutral basics that can be mixed-and-matched together to form a spring capsule wardrobe that can withstand the rain, wind, and often fleeting warmth of spring. I’ve included button-downs, tank tops, trench coats, loose trousers, blazers, and more. And everything’s $40 or less, with prices starting at $8.
Universal Thread Collared Button-Down Shirt
My personal best-kept secret to turning any boring outfit into one that is expertly layered is to throw an oversized boyfriend shirt over just about anything. Then, layer it again with a faux leather jacket on top for some even more depth (and warmth). Pair this classic button-down with the ribbed tank below or throw it over a dress for a less polished look. Both ways never go out of style, and in lieu of overaccessorizing, the extra layer says it all.
Universal Thread Ribbed Tank Top
A well-fitting ribbed tank top is always my base layer, whether I’m heading to Vermont for the long weekend or to a winery on the East End. That base layer should be tight to the body to keep any heat from getting in or out, and I love the deep V-neck on this one (in the color cream) because it’s reminiscent of a vest rather than a typical camisole.
Universal Thread Mid-Rise Cargo Pants
I’ll never say no to a mom jean, but slowly but surely, I’m cooling to the idea of mid-rise cargo pants. I love that these are light and airy, which ensure I’ll get so much wear out of them all throughout spring, summer, and well into fall, too. These pants pair well with a more tailored top for some juxtaposition, but I also think they’d work with an oversized button-down for an altogether baggier silhouette as well.

I won’t be gliding down the ski slopes anytime soon (or probably ever, tbh), but I know a thing or two about après-ski culture—like what to wear and what to order at the lodge bar. (One hotty toddy, please!) After all, I’ve been going to my family’s second home in Vermont for 30 years. As the resident family member that stays at the bottom of the hill, I can attest that layering thermal clothes over wool mesh base layers is crucial even when not balancing on a fiberglass board or tottering through the snow on a pair of skis. And if my advice isn’t enough, I sought the expert advice of Jana Meister, a fashion stylist and influencer.
The technique is ideal for dressing for cold, winter temperatures, but the art of layering has taken on a life of its own as a fashion trend. “The winter months can be so unpredictable when it comes to temperatures, so finding layering pieces that are easily added to and removed [from] an outfit to create several looks is somewhat of a normal task when getting dressed every day—especially in the Midwest,” Meister tells Real Simple.
A mesh wool base is the key to winter layering success. Merino wool clothing is another winter fave but the breathability of mesh wool makes it a better first layer. “[It] retains heat if it gets damp from snow or rain and wicks away moisture,” Meister adds. It “also adds a chic look of luxury with a button-up coat or blazer layered over the top.”
Keep scrolling for wool mesh base layers and winter fashion picks to layer on top. I’ve included cozy faves from Amazon, Nordstrom Rack, and more with deals of up to 65 percent off.
Free People Cool Down Base Layer
Cool down and warm up with this comfortable base layer from Free People. The design features an extra cozy funnel neck to protect one of your most vulnerable parts from the windchill. Plus, this comfortable long-sleeve is made of a moisture-wicking blend of 41 percent wool and 7 percent elastane that’s stretchy despite its overall second-skin fit. Best of all (IMHO) are the shirt’s thumbhole cuffs, which IFYKYK.
Ookie & Lala Faux Wool Scarf Coat
Available in dark charcoal, camel, or camel plaid, this on-sale wool scarf coat—lovingly known as a “scoat”—is giving Cameron Diaz-in-The-Holiday vibes. Yes, the matching scarf is attached, and while this winter wardrobe staple is made of the faux stuff, the ultra chic piece is guaranteed to keep you warm so long as you’re rocking a wool mesh base layer underneath.
Thermajane Long Johns Thermal Underwear
A No. 1 best-seller with more than 35,100 five-star ratings on Amazon, this body-hugging two-piece retains heat so well thanks to its inner fleece lining. Grab it in 13 different colors and two fun patterns to add a little fun to your winter outfit. You’ll especially love its moisture-wicking abilities and the fabric’s four-way stretch design that fits snugly while allowing you to move freely—on the mountain or otherwise.

Every time a friend mentions they’ve placed their first Quince order, I’m always excited to hear what they think. I own multiple pieces from the brand, and I’m constantly looking to expand my mini collection, especially as a new season approaches. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Quince’s new arrivals section is one of my favorite pages on the web. After taking a peek, I noticed the brand had expanded its sweater collection to include new options for spring, and the latest styles and colors are definitely worth shopping before the weather takes a turn.
Sometimes retailers have a limited selection of sweaters, but Quince is not part of that club. Instead, the brand’s sweater assortment includes a myriad of fabrics, styles, and colors, and the latest additions to its collection are most of its best yet. Shoppers love Quince’s $50 Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater, and it’s now available in new prints and colors, including classic navy and ivory stripes. I also spotted the Mongolian Cashmere Tee in a bright, happy butter yellow that’s perfect for spring, and I can’t get over the $50 100% Organic Cotton Cropped Cardigan either. There’s even more to see and shop below.
Mongolian Cashmere Tee
Short-sleeve sweaters are perfect for spring when temperatures are too chilly to wear a T-shirt, but are too warm to spend the day in something heavier. I love that this tee is made from the same ultra-soft 100 percent Mongolian cashmere as the brand’s crewneck sweater, and the ribbed hemline and cuffs make it even more classic. The butter yellow shade is my favorite, but you can choose from 14 other colors and striped patterns, too. Style this spring staple with jeans or skirts for a cute and timeless look for workdays or weekends.
Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater
With almost 18,100 reviews, the Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater is one of Quince’s most popular products. Just like the tee highlighted above, this piece is made from cozy, soft 100 percent Mongolian cashmere, and it’s somehow only $50. “I love the excellent quality and perfect fit,” wrote one shopper, while another agreed saying, “The price is incredible for the quality!” Although the sweater isn’t new, there are new colors and patterns available that are ideal for spring, like the navy and ivory stripe.
100% Organic Cotton Boyfriend Crew Sweater
Cotton sweaters are my go-to, and this 100 percent Organic Cotton Boyfriend Crew Sweater is on my Quince wish list. The oversized silhouette looks like it’ll feel super comfortable to wear with jeans or even with leggings. Plus, the ribbed neckline, hemline, and cuffs make it look more polished than a sweatshirt. This is a new style for Quince, and I think its popularity will soar, especially because it’s available in five pretty colors, including sky blue that’s just waiting to be worn to Easter brunch.
Mongolian Cashmere Cardigan
Cardigans are one of the most versatile sweaters to keep in your closet because they’re so easy to layer, and this Mongolian Cashmere Cardigan is a style you’ll wear nonstop long into summer. It’s made from Quince’s go-to 100 percent Mongolian cashmere, so you can expect the same softness as its other styles. But this sweater has something the others don’t: pretty iridescent shell buttons. I love the butter yellow shade that’s available for spring, but you can opt to score the sweater in seven other colors and striped combinations, too. Just keep in mind that Quince says this sweater has a “slim, cropped fit” when choosing your size.
100% Organic Cotton Cropped Cardigan
This cropped cardigan is one of the most popular cardigan styles at Quince right now. It’s made from 100 percent organic cotton, and features a cropped length, oversized buttons, and 13 pretty colors, including vintage rose. I would style this now with jeans or dress pants, and keep wearing it as an extra layer in air conditioning with T-shirts, shorts, dresses, and skirts come spring and summer.
You can’t go wrong with Quince, and the brand’s latest sweater arrivals prove that point yet again. Start your spring shopping early with these cozy, lightweight, and breathable cashmere and cotton layers you can start wearing now and continue to enjoy for months (and years) to come. There’s more to explore and shop below, too, so keep scrolling.

The start of this year has felt like a lot. When I need something happy to ground me or help me to look ahead, I love looking through Target’s newest arrivals for the upcoming season. Does it fix anything happening in my world? No, but sometimes picking up a dress I can imagine wearing on a trip or even just on a sunny day is everything I need to add some pep back into my step. In case you’re feeling a bit blah about winter, there’s 17 new Target fashion arrivals below to wear now or score to wear soon as we all count down the days until spring.
The two types of clothing I purchase the most from Target are activewear and dresses, and the retailer’s newest arrivals offer plenty of pieces to choose from. This pretty eyelet skater dress is the first item that jumped into my cart. It looks like a great Easter dress, or something to pair with your favorite sandals on days you want to get ready quickly and still feel completely put together. I’m also eyeing these cute scallop leggings that I predict will sell out very quickly. Outside of my favorite Target clothing categories, I spotted this fun collared short-sleeve sweater that I imagine pairing with wide-leg jeans, and I also know I’ll wear this cropped barn jacket or this cropped chore jacket on repeat throughout spring and again during fall.
Universal Thread Short Sleeve Eyelet Mini Skater Dress
Before I dove into Target’s newest arrivals online, I actually spotted this dress in person during a recent visit to my local store. I was shopping quickly that day, so I didn’t pick it up. But I’ve thought about it ever since. The dress is made from cotton and has a above-the-knee mini length with pretty flutter short sleeves complete with eyelet details. I love the soft blue shade, but you can also shop it in white in sizes XS to 4X.
All in Motion Airy Sleek Legging-Friendly Full-Zip Jacket
Cozy layers aren’t always the most flattering, which is why I’m obsessed with this full-zip jacket from Target’s in-house brand, All in Motion. It’s made from recycled polyester, rayon, and spandex, a blend that’s designed to move with you. The full-zip makes it easy to put on and take off, and the mock turtleneck collar will offer extra warmth in low temperatures. But my favorite details are the legging-friendly length and how the jacket cinches at the waist to help to define your shape. I can’t believe this is only $35—score one while you can.
Universal Thread Cropped Barn Jacket
If you’re wondering how this cute spring jacket is only $40, you’re not alone. This is the first cropped barn jacket I’ve seen, and I already know I don’t have to shop around for other options—this is the one. The exterior of the coat is made from cotton, and the interior lining is made from polyester for added warmth. I especially love the design details: a classic brown collar, generously-sized dual front pockets, cropped length, and full zipper. The barn jacket is selling quickly, but it’s still in stock in XS to 4X (for now).
JoyLab Scallop Detail High-Rise 7/8 Leggings
Whether they’re on throw pillows or clothing, scallops are one of my favorite details, so these leggings are an immediate yes. The nylon and spandex high-rise leggings are designed for all types of workouts as well as days when you would rather wear athleisure to relax at home and run errands. I love that they’re available in a classic black and also in fun, spring-ready colors like light blue and pink in sizes XS to XXL. If you really want to show off the scallops, pick up the matching sports bra, too.
A New Day Sandwash Pullover
The A New Day Sandwash Pullover is another item I happened upon while shopping in person, and the fabric is what stands out the most: It’s buttery soft. The sweatshirt simply pulls on for easy wear; it has a crew neckline, drop-shoulder sleeves, and a long hem length that hits around your hips. Best of all, there are six colors to choose from, including a bright coral (my favorite), in sizes XS to 4X.
Join me in getting through the gray days of winter by shopping Target’s latest spring arrivals. There are so many cardigans, sweaters, dresses, outerwear, jeans, and athleisure pieces to choose from—and I’m sharing 12 more great recommendations below. Like Target’s other collections, we anticipate that these pieces will sell out well before spring’s official start date, so shop your favorites while you can.

A New Day Short-Sleeve Midi Dress
We’ve reached the point of winter when I’m constantly adding layers to stay warm. Most days, that means popping on a sweatshirt, but I love wearing cable-knit sweaters because they make me feel a little more put together. I’m always shopping for new favorite sweaters and just happened upon this $30 top-seller at Amazon, so I wanted to add it to your radar, too.
I love timeless pieces I can wear season after season, and I know I’ll reach for the Langwyqu cable-knit sweater for years to come. It’s made from a warm mix of 51 percent viscose, 28 percent polyester, and 21 percent polyamide (a synthetic fabric), and it’s available in sizes S to XL in a pretty array of 21 colors that includes neutrals like beige and gray, as well as bright hues like pink and blue.
Langwyqu Cable-Knit Sweater
One five-star reviewer loved the sweater for its “soft and warm” fabric that has their ideal level of thickness.“The color, sizing, fit, feel, [and] quality [are] all as expected and absolutely lovely,” said another shopper, who also added that the sweater “washes well” and ”reshaped and dried nicely.”
The slim-fit sweater combines cable-knit details together with ribbing on the sleeves and hemline, and it also has a loose, exaggerated turtleneck to make it feel even warmer. The style is classic, which means it’s easy to style with jeans, trousers, or even snow pants for casual outings, nights out, and time spent at the office or even the ski lodge.
“This sweater is warm, cozy, and soft,” said one reviewer. “It’s also substantial and holds its shape. The neck comes up high, almost like a high boat-neck, which I liked.” Another shopper said, “ [It’s] super soft and flattering. I went to Chicago and wore this and it helped a lot with the cold weather,” They added that it’s “well worth the money” and has a “fabulous fit.”
There are many more weeks of cold temperatures ahead, so join me and add a cozy new layer to your closet with the Langwyqu cable-knit sweater. If you’re still shopping for more sweaters, there are additional top-selling Amazon finds below.
