If you’re on the hunt for affordable fashion that’s as trendy as it is comfy, you’re in for a treat. I personally tried on five of Ardene’s latest clothing items—and I’m spilling all the tea on how they fit, feel, and look IRL. Here’s what I honestly think about each piece, complete with styling tips and sizing notes.
1. Basic Double Layer Tube Top – $7.90
- Size Tried: XS
- Colors: Black, White, Brown
- Material: 94% recycled polyester, 6% elastane
I didn’t expect much from a $7 tube top, but I was SO pleasantly surprised. The double layer adds support and smooths everything out—no bra necessary. The fit is super flattering and didn’t roll down, even after a full day of wear🔥.

2. Crinkle Maxi Tube Dress – $31.43 (on sale)
Hands-down the most flowy, boho-style dress I’ve worn all summer. It’s strapless with a smocked bodice, which meant no awkward slipping and it actually stayed up without cutting into my ribs.
- Material: 100% rayon
- Style: Maxi, flowy fit-and-flare

3. Bodycon Mesh Maxi Dress – $24.43
This dress made me feel like a million bucks—for under $25. The bodycon fit hugs in all the right places but doesn’t feel too tight thanks to the mesh overlay. It’s a wardrobe essential!
- Material: 95% polyester, 5% spandex
- Style: Sleek bodycon with mesh layers
4. Strapless Tie Back Mini Dress – $27.93
This mini dress is pure summer vibes. The tie-back detail is SO cute and adjustable, and I love how it flares gently at the hips. It’s perfect for festivals or beach days. The print also feels artsy and unique—not your basic floral.
- Material: 100% polyester
- Features: Strapless, smocked bodice, tie-back
5. Summer Print Ultra Crop Tank – $10.43
This is the top I didn’t know I needed. The citrus print is adorable (I got so many compliments), and the crop is high enough to wear with high-waisted shorts or a bikini underneath. It’s super soft too—nothing scratchy or stiff.
- Material: 95% cotton, 5% elastane
- Style: Ultra crop with scoop neck + graphic print
💬 Final Thoughts – What’s Worth It?
Honestly, every piece felt like a win. Ardene continues to surprise me with its mix of affordability and quality. My absolute must-haves? The Bodycon Mesh Dress for going out and the Basic Tube Top for literally every day.
