Promising review: "This two-piece set is incredible!! I was skeptical of getting both pieces together and how they’d fit, but I cannot rave about this product more. I’m a size 12, and the large is perfect for me. The compression is spot on while also giving you room to feel comfortable. The color is BEAUTIFUL...it’s the perfect oatmeal shade, and I’ve gotten so many compliments. I like to take cycling classes, and this set was perfect the few times I’ve worn it so far. I’d also recommend for upper body day strength training, Pilates, and yoga. If I could give this 10 stars, I would!!" —Hoan Ngo

One of our editors, Heather Braga, *loves* the fall, almost as much as she loves these leggings — here's her take: "I splurged on these, and I don't know why I waited so long! They're super soft on the inside, edgy on the outside, and just freakin' fabulous. I love pairing them with an oversized sweater for a look that's stylish but still cozy during the winter and wearing them with a denim jacket and a graphic tee in spring and fall."
Promising review: "Spanx are comfortable — I could even lift and stretch in these! Breathable as well! They give great shape and DO NOT camel toe! No wrinkling/scrunching of that area! They do have more silvery sheen to them and a waistband (which give a more casual look)." —Nordstrom Customer

They don't look faux at all, are well-made, and I receive compliments on them every time I wear them. They are also extremely comfortable and fit like a second skin. They are super warm so I probably would not wear in warmer weather but are perfect for the fall and winter. They shape well and stay put! There is no rolling or slipping down with these babies. Put them on and they are going to stay where you put them. I love them!" —Kelly C. Albanese

Promising review: "This is my first time reviewing a product, but I think this product deserves more! The quality feels great; it’s not itchy or anything.

There’s a slight turtleneck, which I thought was an additional plus to the sweater! Overall, I think this is a great investment if you’re looking for something warm and oversized!" —Vivian

The top can be worn as a normal top with sleeves or you can wear it off the shoulders for a different look. I’m a big fan of the jogger-style legs and how they taper at the bottom. I often wear this as a casual outfit around the house, but it’s also easy to dress up for a night out! Fits true to size." —Jen G

Promising review: "I live in this jacket! This jacket is amazing — it is so comfortable and looks cute with every outfit! The sherpa lining is on the front and back torso plus the neck, and the sleeves have a different soft lining. Note that it does run small, so order a size up. It is quite warm, so I don't usually wear it indoors, or else, I'll overheat. Easy, comfortable, and cute!" —Eileen Eisen-Cohen

Promising review: "Soooo cozy!!! This sweater was better than I expected. As a plus-size woman, it can be hard to find 'oversized' sweaters, but this one fit perfectly. I highly recommend. I bought a 5XL but could easily have gone down a few sizes for a more fitted look." —Stephanie Massalone

Promising review: "The color is beautiful! Perfect for fall and winter. The material is very soft and cozy. The quality seems very good! Love the cowl neck and the length. Not too long and not too short. I would definitely recommend and will probably buy in more colors." —Spinner

28. A pair of baggy overalls so casually cool, they require zero outfit planning to rock. Throw them over a basic short or long-sleeve tee, and head out the door.
Promising reviews: "My new capsule wardrobe staple. These overalls will quickly become your favorite WFH office wear. The navy blue is beautiful, and I can dress it up or pair with a tube top for puttering around in the yard. **Cold wash/drip dry so far to avoid shrinkage** Pros: linen; lightweight; loose fit; cool and breathable. Cons: none yet." —teaseapea
"I have bought four of these, now, in different colors. I originally thought I might feel frumpy, but I wanted something loose-fitting to allow airflow in the summer heat. I never fail to receive a compliment when wearing these out and about. They are very cute jumpers! For the price, the fit, and the quality, they're worth buying. The material seems to be linen which is very breathable, but is thick enough that I don't worry about it being see-through. I highly recommend these to anyone, any size!" —M. morson

Get it from Amazon for $26.88+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 16 colors).
30. A plaid peacoat if all you currently own is a puffer coat and it's not quite cold enough to wear it yet. A peacoat will NEVER go out of style, so better invest in one now.
Promising review: "I really like this coat. It is 'oversized' enough to layer but does not feel too big or boxy. The bottom falls right at my knees. The lining feels luxurious, and the outer layer is not overly thick but sturdy and well-made. Great value if you are looking for a versatile option for a winter coat this season. I feel like I can pull this off with a sweater, jeans, and boots, or with a neutral dress and heels." —Bricky
Get it from Amazon for $65.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and nine colors).
31. A knitted bodycon sweater dress featuring a cute tie-waist that is so effortlessly stylish it's kinda ridiculous.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress! The material is perfect for me because it's not too thick but not flimsy at all. I could wear it here almost every season except for the summer. It will look great with boots or pumps, and it's long enough that I can wear it to work. It fits exactly as pictured and is true to size." —Aneglic_KR

Promising review: "OBSESSED!!! Exactly like a coat from Urban Outfitters except at a fraction of the cost. It's super comfy and warm! Love, love, love it! It feels expensive and is super cute. You don't have to spend so much money on trendy items — it's so not worth it when you can find cute dupes." —anon

Promising review: "I read about this in a BuzzFeed article that said best, cheapest things to buy on Amazon right now.

I can wear it all through fall and I've already worn it out in the summer!" —Brandon Alexander
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 13 colors).
34. A colorblock sweater because those leggings you wear so often need a new BFF.
