So I’ve pulled some warm-weather options below, including Crocs and faux-wood sandals at Amazon and a few stretchy-looking pieces from Madewell’s sale-on-sale.

I also spotted our best overall plus-size jeans, which are still in stock in every size. Stylist Samantha Brown says the jeans are supportive without being suffocating, are a little looser through the thighs, and feel broken in from the first wear.
