    31 Cozy Pieces Of Clothing You'll Actually Want To Wear In Public

    The coziness doesn't have to stop just because you're forced to leave the house.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.

    1. A fleece hoodie dress you might actually find is *more* comfortable than your favorite pair of sweatpants because it feels like you're wrapped in a warm blanket while still looking so stylish.

    Promising review: "LOVE! I ordered a black one first because at 40 bucks a pop, I wanted to make sure it was what it claimed to be. It is SO GREAT! Comes right above my knees. It's thick, warm, unusual, and I get tons of comments/compliments on it. Needless to say, I ordered the purple, and it's gorgeous. Slap on some leggings and knee-high boots, and it's a HOT look. I'm getting the green one today. Never seen a long hoodie like this, and it's just über-cool! You need this!" —Joyce VoteThemOUT

    Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes S–3X and in 14 colors).

    2. A cute long puffer vest that's the perfect last layer to your look when you feel like you're missing something. Plus, you'll feel extra toasty, which is a win-win.

    Promising review: "This vest is AMAZING and gives the exact look I was hoping for. I wore it a few times recently while traveling through Ireland. Paired with an oversized sweatshirt and leggings, it was the perfect addition to an outfit while still keeping me warm. For the cost, it is well worth it to buy more than one!!! I did find that it ran large, so maybe size down if you don't want it to feel too oversized." —BDraper19

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 10 colors).

    3. An absolutely adorable cardigan — you might just make plans out of the house so you have excuses to wear it more. Plus, there's dog version so you can match your pup perfectly. Cue the "awwwws"!

    Promising review: "Perfect fit, soft, and cute. I got this as part of the Little Beast collab and the sweater is really cute. It's pretty soft while being good quality. I’m very sensitive to sweaters but this doesn’t bother or itch me at all. I’m in love with the bow design. 🎀🥰" —Nicole K.

    Get it from Lisa Says Gah for $148 (available in sizes XS/S–XL/2XL and in three prints).

    4. crewneck sweater that's oversized enough to wear with leggings because a sweater + leggings = the ultimate lounging outfit combo. Seriously, you may just want to add a couple of colors to your cart now so you can have them in rotation in your wardrobe.

    Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 30 colors and styles). 

    5. A pair of fleece-lined jeggings made to look like jeans but actually feel like sweatpants. You'll stay cozy and warm whenever you *must* venture outside.

    Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL, short, long, and in 33 colors).

    6. A basic long-sleeve tee you really can't go wrong with because you can wear it with jeans, leggings, or sweats. Bonus: it's so soft that you may not even want to take it off before you go to bed at night.

    Promising review: "This is amazingly comfy and perfect for lounging around or when the weather dips down and you don’t want a super heavy one but don’t want a super light sweater either. The pockets make it even better!" —Tam

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes 14–28 and in 25 colors and styles).

    7. A quilted fleece pullover perfect for those extra-cold days when you know you've gotta go to the grocery store because one can only live on popcorn for so long. Throw this on, and you won't even be upset if you run into that person from high school who you haven't seen in years.

    Promising review: "I love this sweater!!! It has the coolest button detail that you can button all the way up or have loose like my pics, it’s incredibly soft, and it's amazing quality! I highly recommend this!! If you’re on the verge of sizes, just go up a size because you can’t go wrong with oversized right now!" —Stephanie Mason

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 24 colors and styles).

    8. A pair of overalls I'm pretty sure are an ~overall~ great purchase because you can wear them now with a long-sleeve shirt or sweater underneath and then when spring and summer finally arrive you can swap for a t-shirt or tank. It's a versatile piece that's basically a must.

    Promising review: "I saw this outfit on TikTok and thought there was no way I could pull these overalls off as well as she could in her 'Hobbit'-esque aesthetic. THESE LOOK AMAZING ON EVERYONE!!! The overalls are super flowy and comfortable! I'm 5'10" so if there are any tall girls wondering if this will fit the answer is YES! It does crop a bit above your ankles, but I think it looks super cute. The pockets are functional, too!" —Emma

    Get it from Amazon $13.49+ (available in sizes S–3X and in 19 colors and patterns).

    9. A mock neck sweater and matching pants set you can totally pull off wearing to the office because it looks incredibly chic and put together. Nobody will even realize that you're actually extremely comfortable.

    11. A half-zip pullover sweatshirt for a sophisticated yet oh-so-comfortable layer you'll find yourself wearing whenever you get the chance. No matter if that's on a video call with your boss or a random Tuesday night. It'll eventually turn into a staple in your wardrobe.

    Promising review: "This was a great purchase! I bought a large and am typically a size 12. It's the right amount of slouchy and doesn't cling. It feels true to size, but if you want it super slouchy, go up a size. It's casual enough to wear with jeans, and long enough to wear with leggings. You can dress it up with a scarf. The pockets are so convenient!" —ShadyGrove4H

    Get it from Amazon for $25.98+ (available in sizes S–3X and 44 colors and styles).

    BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Heather Braga says: "I have many sweatshirts from BFFs and Babes, a woman-owned small business, and I simply adore them — I've purchased so many as gifts as well! The Game Day collection is so fun, especially for someone, like myself, that loves to be on-theme but also super comfortable. I have a USA-themed sweatshirt (pictured above) that I wore during the Olympics and broke out again for both the Fourth of July and while watching The World Cup, and I also have a New York Jets-inspired green tie-dye one that I wear all the time. The sweatshirts are super cozy, don't run in the wash (thankfully), and I love that you can customize them to say whatever you want!"

    Get it from BFFs and Babes for $80+ (available in unisex sizes S–3XL, 12 colors and with personalization on the front and cuff).

    Promising review: "This sweater dress is a dream! Not a scratchy material, not super short (especially for anyone with a little more in the back), warm, literally the PERFECT sweater dress!! Some sweaters I don’t like because the wind will blow through the holes from the knitting/stitching but this one is perfect. It looks great on anyone and the burgundy is a stunning wine color that’s great for the holidays! I’ll probably be wearing this to Thanksgiving dinner for sure and more than likely, a Christmas event, too!" —Taylor

    Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 23 colors).

    Promising review: "This is a cute and comfortable two-piece set. The fit was as expected, and these pieces could easily be worn for travel or just lounging around the house. They washed up nicely, but I wouldn't recommend putting them in the dryer due to possible shrinkage." —H. Brien

    Get it from Amazon for $36.39+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 35 colors). 

    24. button-front cardigan for anyone who ~dreams~ about returning to their bed as soon as their feet hit the floor. At least when you wear this, you won't feel too far away from your precious blankets and pillows.

    Promising review: "Bury me in this onesie! The material is thick but breathable, and stretchy but holds its shape, and the pockets are what dreams are made of. I’m a size XL in most stores, but they didn’t have any colors I liked, so I sized down after reading reviews. It’s still very roomy and oversized. This piece will take me through all the seasons in Northern California with ease. Also, it's breastfeeding-friendly! I 1,000% recommend this, and I will be buying more colors!" —goldenstategirl

    Get it from Free People for $70 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 26 colors). 

    26. A reversible sweater you can wear two ways — with the deep V in the front when you want to show a little more skin or with the deep V in the back. Either way you wear it, this will be a versatile piece that looks *and* feels like a cloud.

    Viable NYC is a woman-owned small business based in New York! 

    When I came across this sweatshirt while scrolling TikTok, I just knew I HAD to own it. I've loved Princess Diana for years now, and this look is unmatched. And ever since this sweatshirt arrived, I basically haven't taken it off my body. It is so perfect. It's soft and comfortable and yet so chic. I paired it with my faux leather shorts to show a more dressed-up look. If you're a fan of Diana, you NEED this sweatshirt. Or check out the other designs in the shop, because there are so many other great styles.

    Get it from Viable NYC for $49 (available in unisex sizes S–3X).

    28. A drawstring jumpsuit you'll find yourself reaching for morning after morning because the simplicity means you don't have to even think about pairing a top and bottom together. You'll feel (and look) so put together that you'll crush your to-do list.

    Promising review: "Originally, I wanted a comfy outfit for air travel and bought this before my last trip to Mexico. As soon as I put it on, I fell in love with it. I now live in it. It's comfortable and fits perfectly. I will be purchasing more!" —Meg Fanslow

    Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 12 colors and styles).

    29. 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.

    FYI, if you have Amazon Prime you can try before you buy!

    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 $12.59+ (available in unisex sizes S–3XL and in 15 colors).

    30. A faux-shearling moto jacket here to solve the dilemma of what to wear when you wanna feel stylish but it's SO cold outside. Reviewers confirm this jacket is surprisingly warm — so much so that one person felt comfortable in -5 degree weather in it, meaning this will be your go-to through winter and well into spring.

    reviewer wearing the jacket in black

    Promising review: "This jacket is amazing. It looks expensive. It is extremely comfortable and warm, yet not too hot. Seriously, I wore it in 60-degree weather and was not too hot. I wore it in -5-degree weather, yes that’s right, and I was comfortable. I wore it in my house, and I didn’t overheat. There’s something about the material. The lining does not shed or flatten. It’s thick and spongey like real shearling. It doesn’t really attract lint or hair or anything either. I just can’t say enough about this." —Huesitos

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 10 colors).

    31. And a faux-fur bucket hat that'll be the perfect accessory for every outfit. Not only will you look super stylish, but your head will stay extra warm all day long.
