It’s made with a lightweight blend of cotton and linen, making it breathable and comfortable enough for all-day wear as the weather warms up. The relaxed, boxy fit and side slits add to its easy-going feel, while the mix of thin front stripes and bold back stripes gives it a subtle, dimensional touch. Whether you pair it with jeans, linen pants, or your favorite overalls, this versatile staple is sure to be on heavy rotation all season long.

Cut from a breezy linen blend with a high waist and wide legs, these pull-on pants are a cool remake of a closet classic. They’re the perfect mix of comfort and polish, making them a must-have for spring. Whether you’re packing for a beach getaway or styling a light everyday errand outfit, the pull-on waistband and light fabric make it the perfect pick for warm days.  Available in both regular and petite sizes, they pair seamlessly with everything from fitted tanks to breezy button-downs—just add sandals or sneakers for an effortlessly chic look.

Free People Movement Hot Shot Mini Sport Dress

A throw-on-and-go dress is a warm-weather essential, and this one comes with thoughtful details that make it even better—like built-in shorts and roomy patch pockets. The racerback silhouette is effortlessly flattering, whether worn on its own or layered over a tank. Available in seven colors, including vibrant neons and classic neutrals, it’s as stylish as it is practical. Plus, it’s designed for comfort, so you’ll stay cool and confident all day long.
