While there’s something to be said for stiletto heels and a power blazer, the ultimate style hack is a comfortable outfit that looks good. These ‘fits are usually built over time by stumbling upon the rare perfect item — leggings that look like pants or a wrap top in supernaturally soft fabric — and then holding on to it for years and hoping it lasts for as long as possible before you have to start the hunt all over again. With comfort dressing on the rise, though, designers are churning out wearable pieces like never before. You don’t need to wait for fate to send the perfect going-out top your way, because I’ve rounded them up for you.
What you’ll notice are easy fits and plenty of stretch fabric, but not at the expense of shape. Dresses come in Mad Men shift cuts for roomy comfort, or they get their definition through a chic (yet stretchy) cinched waist. Tops may feature twist fronts and wrap or pleated necklines in jersey knits and Pima cotton, while pants will be sure to skew stylish and flowing or provide a high-kicking degree of stretch. You’ll also find some really great basics to level-up your dresser drawers, from sharp racerback tank tops to seamless underwear (as well as leggings with a ridiculous number of rave reviews). And, if it all gets to be too much, a matching workout set or two will make the outfit for you.
These cute, comfortable pieces hit every dress code — so you’ll never have to hoard your favorites again. They’re about to become your new normal.
1A Collared Sweatshirt That’s *So* Soft
It’s hard to improve upon the sweatshirt, but Daily Ritual somehow managed to upgrade the athleisure staple.

2This Animal Print T-Shirt That Goes With Pretty Much Anything
You know a T-shirt has to be pretty amazing when there are nearly 14,000 ratings behind it. This leopard tee adds luxe pattern in a soft poly knit that feels like cotton to the touch.

6A Modern Shift Dress With Just Enough Drape

17Some High-Quality Hipsters That Disappear Under Your Clingiest Clothes
In my opinion, sometimes looking good is about what you can’t see. These Calvin Klein seamless hipsters banish visible (yet, often unavoidable) panty lines with laser-cut edges for a totally smooth look under clothes. The only seams are tucked aside on each hip, and a cotton crotch gusset ensures you’re comfy all day. Make sure your set ships from Amazon to ensure an authentic CK product.
- Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
18This Mesh Workout Tank With Subtle Detail
The microfine mesh in this workout tank top creates a subtle pointillism pattern that only pops when you layer a contrasting sports bra underneath.

23An Easy Crop Tee You’ll Want In Every Color
A twist-front gives just enough shape to this boxy cropped tee, which has amassed a minor fan following from Amazon shoppers who praise it for being pretty dang cheap but cute and good quality.

35A Cotton Maxi Dress That Comes In Tons Of Floral Prints
This floral maxi dress is perhaps the most effortless piece to wear out of everything on the list — just look at that flowing skirt!
