What is Z Supply? After Wearing the Casual Basics Brand for a Month, I Have Opinions

I've worn one specific item over and over and over.

If you took a five-second glance at my Instagram, you wouldn’t describe me (or my style) as “soft casual.” My feed is decked out with party dresses and vacation pics taken on my Canon G7X. But in reality, I spend a chunk of my week working from my apartment in more casual clothes, and I’ve been on a mission to find comfortable attire that’s both cute and practical for taking Teams meetings at my kitchen table, running errands on the weekend, etc.

Enter Z Supply. I'm a vintage-loving gal so I was initially suspicious of the abundance of muted beige tones and sweatshirts, but as I dug through their website, I came across item after item that looked extremely promising. Could this be another high-quality wardrobe building block brand I could add to my rotation? You won’t find any towering heels, occasion dresses, or really anything to wear on a night out on Z Supply's website, but you can expect breezy vibes, linen tanks, embroidery, and any other “soft girl” elevated basics you might want with a chill West Coast spin. Overalls? Yep. Gingham? Absolutely.

To take my testing process to the next level, I picked out a cotton set, some cute striped shorts, a nautical tee, a simple black tank (because I somehow didn't own one!) and a chic little workout dress. The verdict? Holy softness. I was pleasantly surprised by how the items fit and literally over the moon about how soft all of the fabrics felt against my skin. But no spoilers—you’ll have to keep reading for my full Z Supply review below!

Thick, stretchy, and sweat-wicking, with built-in shorts and a built-in bra? This is the perfect summer workout dress, period. Don't let the price tag deter you—the quality speaks for itself. Oh, and there are pockets on the inside shorts, too! Details, people!

  • Material: 80% polyester, 20% spandex
  • Sizes: XS-XL
  • Colors: Black

"This was an immediate yes. I wish they made this in more colors, I'd buy them in an instant! The stretchy, super luxe material makes me feel like a hot wife at a country club. The dress has a built-in bra with removable cups, the shorts underneath have pockets, and it's just a really smoothing fabric (I tried it on over underwear that gives me horrible panty lines just to see how it would do and it really did minimize them!). 100/10." - Hannah Oh, Shopping Editor

You'll love having a chill but stylish graphic tee on hand for your East Coast summers, beach bachelorettes, and trips to the European coast (or regular ol' days dreaming about said activities). This one is baggy, oversized, and perfect for hot days.

"I assumed that this 100% cotton tee would feel like your average T-shirt, but it's actually more of a thin knit. Not exactly what I was expecting but just as comfortable! This style actually filled a massive gap in my wardrobe of a fashion tee—I needed a T-shirt that I could wear with tons of bottoms that would look instantly stylish. Done!" - Hannah Oh, Shopping Editor

Nothing I love more than a good white tank top! This one has a built-in bra, adjustable straps, and an embroidered hemline, which makes it not just a good white tank but a great white tank. The matching shorts have an elastic waistband and some pretty trim that brings the whole look together.

  • Material: 75% cotton, 25% linen
  • Sizes: XS-XL
  • Colors: White

"When I first tried on this set, I was disappointed because the straps were way too long. I thought I was going to have to get it tailored—but to my delight, I realized that the straps are actually buttoned on and can be adjusted to three different lengths! It really is the little things. The top also has a built-in bra which is really nice." - Hannah Oh, Shopping Editor

Everyone needs a good black tank top in their wardrobe. Paired with the right pair of jeans and a sick belt, you have an effortless weekend outfit. This one is made with a lightweight rib knit with straps thick enough that you can wear a regular bra underneath.

  • Material: 95% cotton, 5% spandex
  • Sizes: XS-XL
  • Colors: 12 options

"There are a lot of things I really like about this tank—the price point, how breathable it is, the fact that it's bra-friendly, and how easy it is to style. I mean, I'm obsessed with this outfit! But I wish it was more fitted and stretchy, so that it hugged my body more. I should've sized down to get that look, and I regret taking the tag off before making a swap!" - Hannah Oh, Shopping Editor

These nautical striped shorts are made of the exact same material as some of our favorite summer pajamas—but they look perfectly acceptable (and stylish enough!!) for a weekend of bopping around the city of your choice.

  • Material: 97% modal, 3% spandex
  • Sizes: XS-XL
  • Colors: Crystal

"These shorts are exactly what my summer wardrobe needed. They're made of the softest material and feel INCREDIBLE, so I've been styling them with outfits I'd normally wear jean shorts (also great but not as comfy) with. I honestly can't believe the number of compliments I've been getting on them... literally wearing them as I type this!"

This isn't a one-and-done dress that'll sit sadly in your closet after you wear it to the event of your choice. No, I can almost guarantee that you'll get several uses out of it, whether you're wearing it to work or an event. The pretty front buttons and natural texture make it a total keeper.

  • Material: 90% rayon, 10% nylon
  • Sizes: XS-XL
  • Colors: Tiki, Medium Indigo

Maybe I've just been watching too much The Summer I Turned Pretty recently, but rugby shirts seriously seem to be everywhere. Think of them like an upgraded version of your throw-on-and-go tee—it's also the perfect piece to transition your wardrobe from summer to fall.

  • Material: 100% cotton
  • Sizes: XS-XL
  • Colors: Sandalwood

Soft fabrics and jersey knits, like the one used to make this top, are where Z Supply really shines. One customer liked it so much that they bought a second one in another color. And if you want to turn it into a set, you can snag the matching pants, too!

  • Material: 100% cotton
  • Sizes: XS-XL
  • Colors: Indigo, Medium Indigo, True Black
