This vegan lip balm is a small but mighty beauty staple for your everyday routine. It’s supremely hydrating and offers a gorgeous, subtle tint \u2014 per reviews. One shopper wrote on Free People’s site: “Love these balms. The two tinted shades give the most subtle\/sheer wash of color that I prefer to a heavy lipstick! Super hydrating too.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Best Belt Bag<\/h2>\n
\n

FP Movement Runner Sling<\/strong><\/a> ($28)\n<\/p>\n

It’s always a great feat to find a functional belt bag that stays put during a run or other workouts, but this design, available in eight colorways and two adjustable sizing models, gets great reviews.\n<\/p>\n

“I can’t properly express how fabulous this little number really is!” one shopper wrote. “Hands free at the gym, listening to music\/podcasts while lifting weights without an armband getting in my way anymore. Gorgeous neoprene fabric! The belt is even stretchy! Able to wear it low-slung over my 44″ hips.” If you’re curious about how the pack looks on, scroll down to the reviews to sift through plenty of IRL photos.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Best Running Shorts<\/h2>\n
\n

FP Movement Carpe Diem Shorts<\/strong><\/a> ($40)\n<\/p>\n

These Carpe Diem shorts have a secret built-in pocket at the interior waistband and they are water-resistant, making them a prime choice for the gym. They’re also available in 23 different colorways. You can read even more in our Free People running shorts review<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

Editor Quote<\/strong>: “The breezy feel of the Carpe Diem Shorts is definitely what stands out to me, especially in humid weather . . .The Carpe Diem comes with built-in briefs for added coverage, and I found them to be quite comfortable. Also, my white pair isn’t sheer, so you don’t have to attempt to hide your panty lines. If you are concerned about a look that borders on too leggy, size up, as many reviewers suggest this helps with length.” \u2014 Sarah Wasilak, associate content director, Shopping<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Best Sleep Mask<\/h2>\n
\n

Slip Pure Silk Contour Eye Mask<\/strong><\/a> ($66)\n<\/p>\n

You can’t go wrong with a Slip sleep mask \u2014 especially if it’s as luxurious as this style. The accessory is made from a silk fabrication that’s gentle on skin and soft to the touch. You can read more in our Slip Pure Silk Contour Eye Mask review<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

Editor Quote<\/strong>: “The silky fabric feels soft to the touch and it is thick enough to stop any light from piercing through. We’ve both been using ours for a couple weeks now, and have been enjoying uninterrupted sleep. We also have large windows (and no blackout curtains), so on sunny days, our apartment is filled with so much light. This used to instantly wake us up, but not anymore thanks to the sleep mask. It’s a simple solution, yet a total game-changer.” \u2014 Shelcy Joseph, former associate editor, Fashion<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Best Everyday Bag<\/h2>\n
\n

FP Movement Quilted Carryall<\/strong><\/a> ($78)\n<\/p>\n

This versatile tote is seasonless, and it’s great for packing all your essentials when you’re running errands. Given its zipper closure and lightweight fabrication, it’d make for the perfect gym bag or grocery shopping carryall. You can shop it in 30 different shades and patterns.\n<\/p>\n

A happy shopper called it the “universal bag,” writing: “I saw a woman when I was out shopping with this bag and I immediately knew I wanted one! It’s fantastic! Arrived yesterday very big, spacious, and well made. I did take notice that they raised the price for these bags! Must be because they are so popular!!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Best Midi Skirt<\/h2>\n
\n

Free People Lowen Midi Skirt<\/strong><\/a> ($60)\n<\/p>\n

This skirt is the perfect summer staple. Made from 100 percent cotton for a lightweight, breathable feel, it features a classic mid-rise, A-line silhouette with an easy pull-on elastic waistband.\n<\/p>\n

Editor Quote: “What I love about the Lowen Midi Skirt is how effortlessly chic it is. In my opinion, a classic A-line silhouette is timeless. I also like that this billowy skirt is made of 100 percent cotton, which means it’s lightweight and comfortable for warm weather. And despite being airy and light, the skirt doesn’t feel thin, thanks to a poplin fabric that gives it a bit more structure. Another bonus? The skirt has pockets! Those were not expected, but of course greatly appreciated.” \u2014 Alida Araica, manager, Newsletter\n<\/p>\n

Editor Quote: “This matching set is best for anyone who is looking for a comfortable and stylish outfit for summer. The two pieces are very easy to mix and match with other basics \u2014 so they’d also work great for anyone looking to expand their summer wardrobe.” \u2014 AA\n<\/p>\n

Best Cozy Sweater<\/h2>\n
\n

Free People Easy Street Crop Pullover<\/strong><\/a> ($98)\n<\/p>\n

This cropped pullover, with ribbing throughout, is offered in 13 shades comprising neutrals and vibrant tones \u2014 like this mandarine red. The slightly exaggerated sleeves are spacious but then taper at the wrists to add definition. This design would look just as great with a pair of dark-wash jeans as it would with joggers or lounge pants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Editor Quote: “The one-piece bathing suit is made from a recycled polyamide and elastane material that has just enough stretch to move around in but is still form-fitting enough that it hugs the body and keeps me feeling secure.” \u2014 Kyley Warren, former assistant editor, Shopping\n<\/p>\n

Best Printed Jacket<\/h2>\n
\n

Free People Chloe Jacket<\/strong><\/a> ($198)\n<\/p>\n

The Chloe is made from lightweight cotton and rayon material, with a polyester filling and it’s extremely versatile as an in-between wardrobe basic. You can shop it nine different patterns, and it’s easily packable for travel \u2014 even in a carry-on suitcase<\/a>. Read more in our former editor’s Free People Chloe Jacket review<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

Editor Quote<\/strong>: “[The Chloe is] like getting all the benefits of a cozy down jacket rolled into the structure of a chunky cardigan. The material isn’t so heavy that I feel overwhelmed or constricted, but it’s also just thick enough to where I can comfortably wear it in lower winter temperatures.” \u2014 KW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Best Puffer<\/h2>\n
\n

FP Movement Pippa Packable Pullover Puffer<\/strong><\/a> ($198)\n<\/p>\n

This pullover puffer is a Free People bestseller, available eight different shades and crafted from water-resistant fabric that’s filled with a vegan-friendly down alternative. “Packable” is part of its name because the collapsible material is also wrinkle-free. Our former editor provides even more color it in her FP Movement Pippa Packable Pullover jacket review<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

Editor Quote<\/strong>: “I prefer the oversize look in my clothing, and this boxy pullover definitely achieves that. Whether I’m wearing it on a fall road trip, squeezing it into my suitcase while traveling, or just throwing it on quickly for a morning walk, the style is versatile enough to be worn basically everywhere. And with such a wide range of available colors to shop the piece in, it can double as a staple winter essential in truly anyone’s wardrobe \u2014 regardless of your personal style.” \u2014 KW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Best Ankle Boots<\/h2>\n
\n

Dr. Martens Leona Platform Ankle Boots<\/strong><\/a> ($200)\n<\/p>\n

Who doesn’t love a trusty pair of Dr. Martens? We love that the brand is stocked at the retailer, as the combat boots and lug-sole loafers are a no-brainer accessory to team with most of the looks on Free People’s site. The Leona silhouette is available in two shades, both of which would complement this season’s biggest trends while maintaining their inimitable appeal with iconic signature yellow stitching.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
