1. A Hanes pullover sweatshirt that has reviewers R-A-V-I-N-G about how comfortable it is. And the solid color options mean you can wear it with everything from you favorite jeans to biker shorts (aka the Princess Diana fall uniform).
Promising review: "I saw a TikTok that said these sweatshirts were a great deal and comfy plus amazing price. I bought three. They, in fact, are great! They’re thin, which is nice for transitioning from summer into fall. Arms are roomy, and it’s the perfect length." —Meghan H
Get it from Amazon for $16.40+ (available in unisex sizes S–3XL and in eight colors).
2. A vintage-inspired pumpkin tee perfect for anyone who THRIVES in the fall and wants their outfit to subtly show that fact to the world. Pretty sure this will be your go-to tee from now until Dec. 1.
Femfetti is a small, woman-run business based in Columbus, Ohio. They've been designing apparel and accessories with hand-drawn illustrations and letterings since 2013.
Get it from Femfetti for $25 (originally $32; available in sizes S–2X).
3. A Carhartt beanie so on trend you're going to want to wear it every single day and night. So much so that it might just start to be a part of your personality. It comes in a variety of colors so you can grab one that works for you (as the more than 109,000 reviewers did).
Promising review: "I saw this hat on TikTok and decided to place my order! I needed a cozy guy for the winter. It can get very cold where I live, especially during morning time when I’m walking my dog. I need to keep my ears warm! The material is so soft, and there are many color options. I got the black one." —Yamit
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in one size and 29 colors).
4. A cropped corduroy jacket just begging for you to take it on every fall adventure you have planned. We're talking apple picking, harvest fests, vineyards, and more. Not only is this outer layer super trendy and cute, but it's also lightweight and perfect to wear over your favorite sweater. And at that price? Now, that's what we call a steal.
5. A plaid mini skirt because plaid is basically a fall staple at this point, and this combo of lilac and brown takes the school uniform vibes and updates them for all your date nights, happy hours, and brunches.
Get it from Forever 21 for $24.99 (available in sizes 0X-3X).
6. Some fall-themed hoops with the cutest lil' clay charms. Reviewers confirm these are super lightweight — meaning you can wear them every single day without your ears bothering you. And the fact that you can create a mismatch pair — are you kidding me right now??? Sign me up!
Indigo Clay Jewelry is an Asian woman-owned small business that has been creating clay statement earrings from Minnesota since 2018. You can select a pair from the options above or ask for a mismatched pair in the personalization box before adding it to your cart.
Promising review: "I love these earrings so much! They are so light and haven't irritated my nickel allergy at all. The colors of the clay are gorgeous as well!" —Stacie Silva
Get them from Indigo Clay Jewelry for $20 (available in eight designs).
7. A pair of overalls I'm pretty sure are an ~overall~ great purchase because you can wear them now with a T-shirt and then later on in the season with a long-sleeved shirt underneath. Plus, those colors just scream "AUTUMNAL."
Promising review: "If you've been hesitant about whether or not to buy these, then this is your official sign to just do it!! I kept these in my 'Saved for later' cart for nearly a year before finally deciding to take the leap. Oh my GOSH, I am so glad I did! These are officially my favorite pair of overalls and absolutely perfect for fall. They're so comfortable, and I most certainly will be ordering more in other colors. So if you're looking to unleash your inner painter/gardener, then this is the perfect outfit for you :D" —Nathan R Ford
Get it from Amazon $18.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and in 21 colors and patterns).
8. A pair of slip-on mules people will probably just assume you dropped a huge chunk of change on because they look so nice. But you can just let that fact ~slide~.
Promising review: "This flat mule has been the best purchase I have made in a long time. They are stylish, they are comfortable, and most importantly the fit is great. I would definitely recommend purchasing this item." —Mules
Get it from Target for $29.99 (available in sizes 5–12 and in three colors).
9. An off-the-shoulder V-neck blouse brilliantly mixing a soft and stretchy fabric with a super-stylish silhouette for a ~top~ notch look you can wear with your favorite jeans or trousers.
Reviewers do say it runs small, so size up.
Promising review: "This blouse is so elegant! It fits well, but it runs a bit small/tight, so ordering up would be ideal. It’s also versatile, and the material is extremely soft. It has little stretch, but again, I would recommend it. The color is so nice too. I used it for a photo shoot, and it just popped!" —Gesselle Walters
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 29 colors and sleeve lengths).
10. A felt fedora that will instantly make you feel like you're ready for fall (even if you live in a warmer climate where it never really gets cool and crisp). Add it to any look — from a blouse and jeans to an oversized t-shirt dress, and you'll have the perfect autumn ensemble.
Promising review: "This hat is EVERYTHING. You will feel like a new person when you go out with this thing. It completes your look. It hides your sweaty greasy roots after being out all day. It doubles great as a fan. Fits a normal head and your big head friends with ease. Need to be basic? Gonna be Crocodile Dundee for Halloween? You already know. I’m about to order three more in different colors because it is so versatile and a whole MOOD. Buy the hat. Enjoy your brunch." —Brettenie Mehr
Get it from Amazon for $17.49 (available in 27 colors).
11. A plaid flannel shirt TikTok-ers are flocking to because it looks eerily similar to the coat that Taylor Swift wears on the cover of her Evermore album. And if that doesn't immediately sell you on this amazing shirt, reviewers says it's super soft and comfortable. That's a win-win-win in my book.
12. A waffle-knit top designed with a tie-front detailing that gives this simple top a *pause for shoulder shimmy* little somethin' extra. Plus, with more than 25,000 5-star ratings, you know it lives up to the hype. Get ready to wear it at least once a week.
Promising review: "This shirt has become a staple in my closet since purchasing it a little over a year ago. It has worn incredibly well with consistent use and has no pilling or thinning of the fabric. It is incredibly comfortable. I adore the waffle print and will be ordering them in different colors — perfect for casual and for semi business attire." —Mora R
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 24 colors and prints).
13. A button-down cardigan you'll probably be shocked when you realize it's less than $20. Even if you have a closet full of sweaters, you really can't argue with adding it to your closet for that price. It's a no-brainer!
Promising review: "I love it so much. The sleeves were bigger than I was expecting, but I don’t mind at all. Great, heavy material and true to size. I find it very cute and can’t wait to wear it this fall!" —H&M Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in four colors).
14. A super-stylish midi skirt made with a rib-knit material, so it's not only stretchy but also comfy to wear even if there's a chill in the air.
Promising review: "This skirt looks so good on. The color is perfect for fall and winter. I will be pairing it with sweaters. It looks expensive on." —Alicia Adams
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 23 colors).
15. An acetate claw clip to ~spice up~ all the fall clothes you already have in your closet. Suddenly your outfit will feel so put together and on trend when you add this to your hair.
Chunks is a woman-founded accessories brand started by Tiffany Ju in 2019 to create cute hair clips.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman says: "I recently spent what some would consider to be a silly amount of money on hair clips but these bring me such joy (something we all need right now) that I can justify it. I have straight Asian hair but it's quite thick and these clips do a great job of holding it back without ripping out strands every time I remove them."
Get it from Chunks for $18 (also available in 50 others colors/styles).
16. A pleated faux leather skirt actually designed with a super cool feature — it has built-in shorts!! You can wear this with your favorite sweaters now and then add a pair of tights once winter comes around. Talk about versatility.
Promising review: "This skirt looks like it costs FAR more than the $20 I spent on it. I was worried that a cheap pleather skirt would look it and this completely exceeded all my expectations. There are shorts underneath, which is great since it doesn't ride up like other skater skirts that also don't sit quite at the natural waist (although they did take a little bit of a mental adjustment because I'm not used to having to unzip skirts in order to use the restroom). Quality of fabric is awesome, construction and design look great too." —Jeanette Santori
Get it from Amazon for $24.78 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and five colors).
17. A long-sleeved crop top for a subtly sexy look perfect for your next night out with friends. And the sleeves mean you won't totally freeze when you decide it's not cold enough yet for a jacket (even if it probably is, whoops!).
Rebdolls is a Latina-founded small biz that believes all women deserve amazing fashion. All of their styles are available in women's sizes S–5X.
Get it from Rebdolls for $24.90 (available in sizes M-5X).
18. An oversized houndstooth knitted sweater vest destined to be the star of your wardrobe as you show your friends just how much of a fashionista you are. Pair it with a buttondown, turtleneck, or even a long-sleeved T-shirt and jeans for a chic look that's so on trend.
Promising review: "I love this vest! It gives me a total vintage look. The sweater itself is already oversized, but I wanted a looser fit, so I went a size bigger, and I am happy with how it fits. Shipping did take long, but it was very clear at the time of purchase the expected arrival date, so that wasn’t a surprise. I'm really thinking of getting more colors!!" —Levi
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes S–L and in 20 colors).
19. A cropped sweatshirt just begging to be paired with your favorite leggings for a comfy look you'll instantly ~fall~ for. You can wear this to the farmers' market on Saturday morning and feel comfy and chic at the same time.
20. A faux leather baseball cap here to elevate your look and make you feel so put together, even if it's hiding the greasy hair you just couldn't fathom washing this morning.
Lilly's Kloset is a Black- and woman-owned online boutique that has been bringing people fashion-forward clothing, shoes, and accessories since 2012. Their mission is to help dress people for their most memorable moments.
Get it from Lilly's Kloset for $30.
21. A leopard tee here to take your basic tee look up a notch and give you a style that's neutral enough to wear constantly yet still make you feel stylish every time you wear it.
Promising review: "The best T-shirt ever. It's amazing quality, soft fabric. I live in it. It goes so well with everything. It can be dressed up or down." —Vita Semkovych
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and in seven styles).
22. A pair of houndstooth slingback flats all you friends will be ~hounding~ you to ask where you got them from. And when you send them the link, and they see the price, you'll all be rocking these amazing shoes this fall.
Get them from Asos for $30 (available in whole sizes 4–12).
23. A detachable shirt collar to help solve your fashion conundrum of how to get the layered look without actually have to wear multiple shirts (and end up overheating indoors). Nobody will be able to tell the difference.
Promising review: "Must-have life hack! I saw someone get this off of TikTok, and I totally loved it. It does exactly what you’d want it to do. The shirt can unbutton if you need it to, it’s super easy to put on. I love that it gives the illusion I have a collared shirt under without the hassle of wearing an actual collared shirt!!" —Danny
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors and in round and pointed collars).
24. A long-sleeve ribbed tee in a perfect pumpkin hue that will make you feel so festive for fall yet able to wear it long beyond this season. Bonus points if you pair it with a pair of green pants for ultimate pumpkin patch vibes!
25. A three-quarter-sleeve midi – when people compliment you on how cute it is, you'll probably say, "Thanks! It has pockets." And proceed to show them.
Promising review: "I have purchased several dresses on Amazon, and this is actually one of the better fitting ones. The material is in between thin and thick. You can see this worn in either fall with a jacket or during the summer without. It has a nice design and a good fit. :-)" —Swarthy Daisy
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 12 colors and patterns).
26. A zip-up tank great for those in-between days when it's not too hot out but also not too cold. This will be the Goldilocks of tanks because you'll be the perfect temperature, even if you wear it with a jacket.
27. A knotted faux leather headband for a ~top notch~ accessory to transform an otherwise simple outfit into a chic fall statement outfit. Just grab your PSL, and you'll feel totally ready for the best season of the year.
Promising review: "Just got these so I can’t attest to durability, however first reaction was how soft and comfortable they were! Seriously, I was dreading buying any headband and feeling the impending headache from how it sits behind the ears. Not the case with these; a first for me. I have very fine/thin hair, and I’m excited to dress it up with these. They look to be very well-made and out of good materials. So happy with this purchase. Get them!" —Heidi Raetz Tedhams
Get it from Amazon for $15.89+ (available in 10 colors).
28. A leopard-print slip midi skirt because animal print is basically an essential, but especially during fall. Reviewers love this skirt not only because it's super cute but also because they say it looks way more expensive than its price tag.
Promising review: "This is by far one of my favorite purchases. It's an awesome skirt, and the price was unbelievable. I'm so happy I purchased this. It looks way more expensive than it is. I get tons of compliments every time I wear it. Buy it; you won’t be disappointed." —Jen Francis
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes XS–XL).
29. A crewneck sweater made from a lightweight fabric so you don't overheat in it, even if the store you venture into decides that fall means cranking up the heat a whole bunch. Ugh!
