Promising review: "I have purchased other leggings from Amazon and I have several pairs of Lululemon leggings.

8. A cutout ribbed dress aka the perfect amount of sporty and sexy. It looks fab with sneakers, heels, and boots!
I am obsessed with this dress. I'm about to go purchase it in more colors that's how much I love it. It's not see through, and you can successfully wear a bra (with straps) without them showing. The cutout worried me a bit since I don't always love a cutout, however, this one was placed perfectly and looked great. Highly recommend snagging this in several colors!
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 23 colors).
9. A super comfortable linen sweater for feeling like you're wrapped in an oversized, chunky blanket. TBH, it's so cozy you'll probs struggle to take it off before bed...

"I got this faux-shearling jacket for Christmas, and I have worn it tons since! It is soft, cozy, warm, and pretty much everything I want in a jacket. I love that it fits oversized so I can easily wear it over a sweater or hoodie. The front pockets are deep and easily fit my phone without feeling like it's going to fall out. And of course, I think it's really cute and stylish.

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
Get it from Nordstrom for $98 (available in sizes XS–XL petite, XS–XL straight, and 1X–3X plus)
15. Or a pair of fleece-lined faux leather leggings for a cool pant option that's chic and will keep you toasty warm.
Promising review: "I purchased these faux leather leggings during a late-night Amazon shopping spree. 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

16. A flowy-but-fitted ruffled wrap dress because a formfitting dress doesn't have to skimp out on frills. This one has the perfect amount of ruffles.
Promising review: "Usually I find that the clothing off Amazon doesn’t always fit well but this dress fit basically perfectly! It is pretty true to size. The fabric does not have any stretch at all so you want to be sure to order the right size. Also, the color is a little more vibrant than the picture on the site." —Tori H
Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in sizes S–XL and 16 colors/styles).
17. A long cardigan you can feel confident tossing on over a lightweight top since it'll cover your arms and your rear. Take that gusty winds.

Reviewers say this one size sweater fits up to an XXL.
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. It’s very warm and very oversized, exactly how I want it to fit. I’m usually a large to XL, and it was still very baggy on me. 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
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in one size and 19 colors/styles).

21. A comfy off-the-shoulder jumpsuit for an easy outfit option you can throw on with some fun accessories.
Promising review: "Love this jumpsuit! The material is great quality, not sheer at all, and feels soft. 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: "It's a thick, cozy waffle material that you will want to lounge in all day and night! I'm a WFH mama, so I don't really get dressed up every day and this is such a great alternative because I still feel cute but am also comfortable! Great set all around. Highly recommend!" —danielle comstock

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

Cons: none yet." —teaseapea
