EDITOR'S NOTE

Lately, I’ve been “testing” (buying) a bunch of tank tops in the name of “work.” And by “work,” I mean that I live in the southeast and it’s already super hot here. I needed more tops to get me through the next three months. Of all the options I’ve tested, here are the ones I’m considering winners that are all under $40:

The tank-top version of my go-to Old Navy tee.
A classic cotton tank with wide straps.
A high-neck tank top that I like to wear on nights out. There’s something about the cut that feels dressier to me.
A bra-free scoopneck that comes in tons of fun colors.

And if you’re wondering about the bra I swear by for pretty much all of these tank tops, it’s this one with ultra-skinny straps and flattering support.

Skintimate Shave Oil and Moisturizer

This drugstore find reminds us of L’Occitane at a third of the price.

What’s an underrated product you swear by? When discussing at our monthly pitch meeting last week, our Commerce Director said that this two-in-one from Skintimate is something she buys from CVS religiously that isn’t talked about enough…so here we are. You can use it for shaving your body, or as an in-shower or post-shower hydrator. It reminds us of L’Occitane’s bestselling Shower Oil at a third of the price.

These summer shorts are cute and won’t give you a wedgie

With temperatures rising, we found shorts that even the shorts haters will love. Check out:

Some athletic shorts that don’t feel too sporty, so you can wear them with non-atheisure tops.
And if you are looking for a sportier option, we love these for their soft waistband and built-in underwear.
The shorts version of Quince’s beloved European Linen Pants.
Some printed shorts from Gap that look like denim, but are really a soft knit.
