The temps are rising precipitously, the days are long and languid and it feels like you have nothing to wear. Early summer weather is always confusing, which is why we're big proponents of owning a few timeless, versatile pieces you can easily layer for steamy days and shivery nights. One such piece is the ultra-flattering Lemafer Solid Boyfriend Shirt. It's as appropriate at the office as it is on a beach vacation, and it's easily layered over a tank top. Oh, and it's down to a sunny $24 in some colors and patterns.
These K-beauty bestsellers have taken social media by storm thanks to their exfoliating properties. They contain ingredients like white willow bark, citric acid and botanical extracts to target enlarged pores, blackheads, whiteheads and excess oil, which promotes a smoother complexion with smaller-looking pores. They're currently down to their best price in months.
Travel experts and frequent fliers say packing cubes are one of the easiest ways to stay organized. If you tend to overpack or always seem to forget something, they can keep everything tidy and easy to find. In addition to an array of bags in various sizes, this eight-piece set includes a toiletry bag, a shoe bag and a sock bag.
"I'm getting ready for flight attendant training and wanted to buy these to help me organize the many things I need to bring," wrote one reviewer. "What surprised me is that both pairs of high heels fit in the shoe bag."
A flowy, oversized button-down is a must in my summer wardrobe. This relaxed piece is great because it combines that vintage tailored vibe with a fun twist. The unique ruching at the cuffs adds a special touch (and helps keep your sleeves clean), making it both stylish and practical. Keep things classic with a blue-and-white-striped option or switch things up with a pretty pink or green style.
Available in 16 colors and patterns, this top is polished, professional and oh-so-chic — especially with those frilly cuffs.
At just $24, this do-it-all button-down is the lowest price it's been in weeks. Not only is it already affordable at $33, but the over-20% discount makes it an even sweeter deal. Plus, it looks way, way more expensive than it is.
First off, the Lemafer Solid Boyfriend Shirt looks like a top straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie, right? I can't be the only one seeing a Meryl Streep character wearing this while drinking a glass of wine and pondering taking back her ex-husband.
Beyond living your best rom-com life, the shirt is a much-needed addition to your closet this season. Made of a soft, silky polyester blend, it features an oversized silhouette with a slimming high-low bottom. While it looks like your standard boyfriend top, it features one sweet touch: delicate smocked cuffs for added femininity. This reviewer loves the cuffs because they can "actually push it up without having to roll up [their] shirt throughout the day." Another great thing? Shoppers say that it never wrinkles.
There are also a zillion and one ways to wear it. Of course, it looks excellent with a pair of jeans and sneakers for a day-to-day look. Want a date night look? Swap out the sneakers for a pair of flats or sleek sandals. Make it office-ready with slacks or a skirt. Layer it on top of literally anything and wear it as a lightweight jacket — or layer it under a sweater for sitting around an evening summer bonfire.
With nearly 1,500 perfect five-star reviews, this flowy blouse is a hit with Amazon shoppers.
"This shirt was exactly what I was looking for," raved one five-star reviewer. "It has a nice smooth material that looks rich! I have gotten compliments on the cute sleeves as well. It has a classic tailored look with a very nice stiff collar ... It is very roomy in all the right places."
"I love this blouse!" shared another Amazon customer. "The fit is perfect, allowing some extra room but not too much. I've worn it multiple times with leggings and boots as well nice slacks to the office and always get compliments."
This shopper agrees with the versatility: "I can be dressed up or casual." They continued, writing: "The quality is good, once [I] washed it I did not have to iron it. I first purchased the black and white and then purchased the blue and white."
"Classy and comfy," said this happy customer. "This shirt DOES NOT WRINKLE. I did iron when I received it but then wore it from sun up to sundown and still looked freshly pressed. I especially love the longer length in the back and the elastic sleeves along with the dropped sleeves for those of us that like extra room in the shoulders."
"The detailed smock cuffs make this top," wrote a fifth fan. "I've worn both front-tucked and layered with a T-shirt under. Doesn't wrinkle. Launders nicely. It covers my rear if I wear out with leggings too!"
A couple of reviewers took issue with the weight of the fabric. "Roomy and light, silky kinda feel to the fabric, but it's not shiny," explained this four-star reviewer. "I would have given five stars if the fabric was a little heavier."
Another shopper wrote: "I love the sleeves and design of this shirt, however, the material is thin and see-through, so I have to double layer."
One final shopper notes that the fabric is noisy. "The fabric is also audible, not as loud as a '90s-style warm-up suit, but has a swishy sound when it rubs together."
