Do you ever buy a new piece of clothing, convinced that it’s the cutest thing ever and then you only wear it once? It’s a huge disappointment, and feels like you’re throwing away money. I’m always trying to find pieces that will become a regular part of my wardrobe, whether it’s a staple piece that I can use to build up outfit after outfit or a statement that becomes a part of my signature look. And as someone who’s at the gym basically every day, a solid (and comfortable) sports bra that will hold up to some major usage is an absolute dream. I’ve searched high and low for clothes that hit these criteria and this list is the fruit of my labor. 37 items, each one a solid piece that you’ll find yourself wearing over and over. That’s pretty much nothing that could be better…except that they’re all available right now on Amazon and all you have to do is click and cart. Perfection.

This Loose Tee Comes in the Most Gorgeous Colors
Coral, mint, wine — this tee comes in so many trendy colors you’ll wind up grabbing more than a few of them (I know I did).

This pullover sweatshirt is “super soft with an oversized fit,” according to one reviewer. Another said, “I love the weight of this top which is between a light sweatshirt and tee.” I’ve always got it close at hand around the house, but I also love to throw it on when I’m meeting up with friends.

And, if you buy enough colors, you could have one for every day of the week without having to do laundry. Genius.
Be Better in This Bodycon Dress
I can’t let this list go by without throwing at least one bodycon dress in here. This one, in a soothing sage green, is simplicity defined.

I love the look of this style, which is just screaming for a statement necklace.

Oh, I hear your concerns pouring in, but don’t worry: thin doesn’t mean see through. They’re made from four-way stretch material so that they don’t become transparent when you bend over. I didn’t know it was possible, but they’ve proven it can be done. Oh, and one reviewer even wrote that “If you are trying to make your decision about workout pants, these are awesome…the pants are true to size, and do not cut off circulation.”

Having a solid swimsuit in your wardrobe is always a good choice. If you’re more of a one-piece girl when it comes to swimsuits, then this one has the sexiness of a bikini, while flattering the waistline. This ruffled V neck design compliments any woman’s figure, so no wonder it’s a best-selling swimsuit on Amazon. I’m buying it in black because I live in a warmer climate and enjoy swimming all year round, but if that’s not your color, there are more than a dozen others to choose from.
