20 Essential Summer Buys, According To R29 Readers

It’s the beginning of May, which means several things are currently sitting at the top of our to-do lists: it’s time to send our friends that Justin Timberlake meme, set our alarms for the return of a new season of Bridgerton, and take a trip down memory lane to unearth the bestselling products our readers loved in the past month.

If the top-performing items from our April stories were any indication, our readers are very much ready to bid spring adieu and usher in hot girl summer, even with Memorial Day weekend still a few weeks away. Among the bestsellers are breezy dresses, glowy makeup, and several Amazon travel accessories thrown in for good measure. This can only mean one thing: you are making some epic plans this summer, and these buys are getting you in the mood.

Click ahead for the 20 products our Most Wanted readers loved in April, based on anonymous shopping data. Feel free to put on “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter — poised to become the summer bop of 2024 — while you’re at it.
