Summer SAH clothes

[namasteak]

Have you found anything you like recently?

I got these shorts at Target and love them! I did size up so I could wear them a little lower.

namasteak, what's the inseam on those? I've decided my sweet spot is 5". Shorter is no bueno for me and longer makes me look frumpy.

To answer your question, I'm ordering everything from Senita Athletics. I basically don't get dressed in real clothes during the summer, and see even less of a reason to do so THIS summer.

The website says 3” but I don’t think that’s accurate. I sized up to get a looser & longer fit.

Does anyone have a favorite solid cotton summer tee? I normally like the ModCloth Simplicity on a Saturday tunic but the polyester gets so big in the summer.

I don’t know. I am desperate for WFH clothes and can’t pull the trigger on any purchase. With the season change, I am even more loath to make decisions.

On a slightly related note, I wonder if when we return to the social non-distant world if people are all “Comfortable only clothes only! I’ve been too comfy, too long to go back!” Or if we enter a renewed world of “Fashion and style is king, abandon anything comfy! I missed high fashion at the cost of comfort!”

I love the casual explore type shorts from Athleta. They are $$$ but I have 3 pairs and they are basically all I wore last summer (Bali linen short and one similar to the farryon short).

Also spring break away shorts from lulu are great. Quick drying, elastic waistband, etc. super comfy

My favorite have become the Caslon rounded v-neck from Nordstrom. I usually pick up a few at the anniversary sale.

I literally cannot rave about these enough. I LOVE them. Someone on here recommended them to me. They're the only tee I wear now. They're soft, breathable, don't feel hot during the summer, the fabric is thick enough that it's not see through, and they have just the right amount of stretch so they aren't boxy.

Think those shorts would work with a post partum bod? I hate everything right now, lol.

I love the soft & sexy tees from American Eagle. They’re a little flowy and oversized, which I appreciate lol. They’re not cotton, but I find them to be very comfortable and great for summer.

I will second these as being super comfortable and flattering. Even the white one isn’t see-through.

Do these cling or drape?

I like tees that drape but are also fitted .. nor sure if that makes sense. Basically I don’t like if they are super form fitted, or boxy. Sizing up doesn’t help with this for me as then the shoulders look silly. So I need the style to be more “lightly fitted” i guess ...

I bought a couple of these last month, and I love them so much that I'm going to order a couple more. They're rayon, not cotton, but they're flattering, comfortable, lightweight (but not sheer), and wash well.

I think they fit the description you’re giving. The aren’t clingy, but are still slightly fitted. You can’t see the curves of my stomach through them.

They’re easy enough to return since it’s Amazon. I’d give it a shot.

Yes - I’m 11 months postpartum. IGNORE THE SIZES because they run small. I’m normally a 12-14 and found the 16 most comfortable & flattering.
