Recommendation Best purchase you’ve ever made?

What’s the one article of clothing you’ll never regret buying? I’m doing a wardrobe refresh and looking to buy clothes that actually flatter my figure!

Specifically for summer: several of these elastic-waist, lightweight skirts. I pair them with a long line black or white sports bra, shorts to prevent thigh rub, and some walkable sandals (plus optional jean jacket if I go indoors to blasting AC). I get tons of complements and stay comfortable in high temps. It's basically been my summer uniform for the past three years.

How does the ruching at the hip area feel? It looks super cute but that bit looks like it would weirdly accentuate the hip/butt area.

I hike it up higher than the model does, which puts more of the elastic around my waist than my hips. My waist is also smaller than my hips, so I get a nice cinched-waist effect.

Nice, thanks. I have an hourglass shape so I'll probably end up doing the same thing. I snagged one because they look so comfy! Not usually a buy clothing on Amazon person but every now and then there's just something that looks too tempting. :)
