1. A warm, oversized waffle knit cardigan great for layering in the winter and wearing with a tank in the summer. Everyone needs an easy-to-style sweater in their closet, and this is *thee* one.
Promising review: "I have these cardigans in three different colors; need I say more? They are thick and heavy, which I like because I bought them for winter, but since they're cotton, I feel like they will be comfortable in spring and fall too. They keep their shape and quality after washing. For sizing comparison, I have them in S, and I usually wear US S in tops." —Anonimous
Get it from Amazon for $42.99 (available in sizes S–3X and 26 colors).
2. A classic Levi's faux leather biker jacket to make a day-to-day outfit a little more fun. Keeping you warm is just a bonus.
Promising reviews: "This is a fantastic jacket. So cute and fits perfectly true to size. I love, love, love it. It’s comfy and soft and just awesome." —SFC
"SUUUUPER CUTE. I have to say I am very pleasantly surprised with how much I absolutely LOVE this little jacket. I bought it solely for fashion purposes, but it's actually really comfortable.

Get it from Amazon for $53.99+ (available in sizes XS–4X and over 30 styles).

Check out a TikTok of the cargo pants.
Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok, and I LOVE them. They fit so well. I'm 5'4" and 130 pounds, and I got a size 29, and they fit perfectly. Loose, but not too loose, and extremely comfy. They come down just below the ankle, so they'd pair perfectly with a pair of Jordans or Dunks. Also comes with an adjustable tie on the waist to fit as you need, same around the ankle." —annabella Gambone
Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe, you can try this piece out before you buy it!
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in men's sizes 27–44 and 42 colors).

Promising reviews: "This was totally oversized! It looks so cute on! The quality feels nice and washed nicely too! Will buy again!" —Ashley Joseph

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 32 colors/patterns — including houndstooth and checkered!).
7. A pair of loafer mules when you want to slip into a sophisticated look as quickly as you can slip into these shoes. Low effort but cute shoes happen to be one of my favorite things.
Promising reviews: "Such cute shoes that are maybe even better than the designer inspiration! I ordered a 37 and usually am a 6.5. They fit perfectly. The footbed is more padded than the designer version. Leather is soft and comfortable on the foot. Sole is not slippery." —Emily Wilson
Get it from Amazon for $49.89+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in nine colors).
8. A long-line wool coat so you have a go-to piece for immediate chic-ness, especially on those colder fall evenings.
If you plan on wearing thick sweaters and lots of layers, reviewers suggest sizing up one size so the coat isn't too snug!
Promising reviews: "Coat is everything I didn’t expect! IT IS PERFECT! I wanted a nice coat for my trip to France, one that fit well and kept me warm. And truly, this hit the mark! If you are on the fence about buying this product, i hope this is the review that helps you decide! 100% worth it! And also for the price, you can’t beat it!" —Sthephany Bento

Get it from Amazon for $44.90 (available in sizes XXS–3X and five colors).
10. A pair of straight-ankle Levi's jeans that'll last for many seasons to come. These ribcage jeans also happen to be TikTok-famous for being cute as heck on every body type!
Promising review: "I was nervous to wear these at first because I usually only wear skinny jeans and don't branch out much with fashion trends. I like to stick to 'safe/boring' styles. But after trying them on and testing them out, I discovered they are LITERALLY my favorite pants. I can literally wear them ALL different ways. Strappy heels, flats, loafers, vans, booties, you name it. I am SO pleased, and I feel so confident wearing them. They fit my waist like they were tailored just for me. I have an hourglass figure, and I LOVE how high and fitted the waist is. I ordered my usual size in Levi's, and they fit great. A nice hug, but nothing uncomfortable. These pants are SO on trend right now. I encourage anyone to give them a try...you'll be pleasantly surprised!!" —Spades
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in sizes 24–39 and 15 colors).
11. An oversized scarf to keep you warm when it's cold, without ruining your outfit. This chunky plaid scarf doubles as a shawl and even has super-cute tasseled ends.
Promising review: "The colors are beautiful, and this scarf goes with just about anything. It is warm and comfortable, and you can dress it up or down. It can be used for casual wear or even for a night out. I have used mine all winter, and I love it. It is very well made and warm for those freezing cold days when you have to get out for daily errands. I recommend it." —Genna Corsentino
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in ten colors).
12. A sophisticated blazer — a true closet essential! You know how some of your fave characters wear the most basic outfits but somehow still look like fashionistas walking down the street? Blazers. The answer is always to add a blazer!
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "The perfect blazer! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I cannot say enough good things about this blazer... The quality is similar to designer brands that cost twice as much. I have since bought multiple colors, and they're all fabulous. They fit true to size, with a relaxed fit, [and are] very comfortable... These are great to dress up for a professional look or to pair with jeans for a more casual look." —Kristen R.
Get it from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 17 colors).
13. A super cozy flannel button-down perfect to throw on top of your completed look for an extra layer if needed (or just for an extra layer of pizzazz, whichever).
Promising review: "This is such a cute shacket! The fabric is thick but still very soft. The fit is loose and boxy, as you would expect a jacket to fit. I wear it layered over a graphic tee with jeans." —Michelle Roetman
Get it from Amazon for $25.49+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 30 colors and prints).
14. A high-waisted pair of wide-leg pants which look super classy and professional but feel like you're walking around in your lounge clothes. TL;DR: These will be your new go-to fancy pants.
Promising review: "These pants as so comfortable and flowy! I stepped outside of my usual skinny-jean outfit to try this style — and I never want to take them off! They are great casual pants for work and can be dressed up for the evening with a fancy shirt and heels. They are as comfortable as pajamas, without looking like it." —Nash
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, short sizes, and in 32 colors).
15. A cozy striped pullover sweater sure to always fit your mood because of the array of color combos this baby comes in. Feeling a little moody? Orange and black stripes for the win! Feeling bright 'n' cheery? Rainbow stripes are the go-to.
Promising review: "I was absolutely shocked at how well-made this sweater is! It’s a lot thicker than I expected, which is a big plus. It’s exactly as shown. I ordered a medium; it’s slightly oversized but fits exactly the way I wanted it. Not too tight not too baggy. It’s also one of the softest sweaters that I have in my closet. Very comfortable and easy to layer under a jacket!" —Katie Cominsky
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 28 colors).
16. An everyday shoulder bag so you can put all of your essentials in one stylish, vegan-leather place. This purse is tiny but mighty and can fit everything you need.
17. Everlane's top-rated cropped pants for a clean look and comfortable feel. The cropped cut is stylish and will definitely make these a new favorite!
Promising reviews: "SO COMFY. Love love love these pants. They are extremely comfortable and are easily dressed up or dressed as casual as you want them" —kattt
"I love these pants. I’ve got a bit of a booty, and I’ve found that this style of pant works well for us bigger-bottomed gals. I’m also so pleased with how perfectly they fit. Usually, pants that fit in the rear they’re too big in the waist. However, these are the Goldilocks of pants. I’m ordering more immediately." —Emily Lucille
Get it from Everlane for $98 (available in sizes 000–16, tall sizes, and in nine colors).
18. A pair of comfortable clogs that are astoundingly similar to the viral, best-selling Birkenstock Boston Clog. Because of their adjustable strap, cork footbed, and suede insoles, reviewers say they're the perfect (and much cheaper) alternative.
Promising review: "They look just like my real Birkenstock clogs!! The shape, the buckle, the fit: they all make the clog feel legit. They are also super comfy! There is cushioning in the heel that makes them very comfortable to wear. If you are hesitant, just buy them. This is SUCH a bargain considering how expensive real Birks are LOL." —Quinlan Hanrahan
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes 6–11, wide sizes, and in 15 colors).
19. A matching set with details that'll make you swoon. The joggers have pockets (!!), a drawstring waist, and a super cute line detail going down the leg, while the top's cropped cut make it an easy mix 'n' match option.
Promising review: "Got this set to sleep in for the winter. The material is very comfortable and soft on the skin and not irritating at all. The stitches were flawless and looked exactly like the picture. I actually wore the sweats outside with another top, and I was feeling fine the whole day." —Kesha Follz
Get it from Amazon for $48.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 21 colors).
20. A pair of faux leather leggings to enter a totally different realm of fashion. Style is important, but these beauts ensure you don't have to compromise on comfort either.
Promising reviews: "These pants are so worth every penny. I’ve never gotten so many compliments or had complete strangers ask where my pants were from, but everyone wanted to know where these were from!!! You will not be disappointed!!" —Mamabear & Babycakes
"You guys... these are seriously the most amazing leggings ever. They looked so small coming out of the package, but the stretch is [awesome]. They fit like a glove! I know people say that, but I mean seriously, like a glove. No wrinkling around the knees, no camel toe, and they stay up around the waist when moving around and bending (Which is my biggest issue with other leather-look leggings). They look so smooth and shiny on. And they’re SO SOFT. They feel like when you put soft pajama pants on right after shaving and exfoliating. They’re like butter. My mind honestly is having trouble processing how amazing and structured they look with how amazing they feel...The minute I put them on, I ordered a second pair." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–4X and in four colors).
21. A pretty puff-sleeve mini dress with drool-worthy details like the square neck and adjustable sleeves you can wear on or off the shoulder.
Promising review: "It’s super cute and comfortable, and I received a ton of compliments on it. I ordered a medium but could have gone with a small. Ordering another color because I liked it so much." —Amber Nelson
Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 17 colors and patterns).
And a VERY similar version in plus sizes (L–4X) for $39.99 (available in seven colors).
22. A pair of waterproof rain boots if you want to toss the usual bulky rain boots for some slim and chic puddle protection. With these, you can remain stylish even when it's pouring out.
Promising review: "I have trouble with rain boots because I have wide feet, and they usually crowd my toes, but these are perfect! Super comfortable, and didn’t need to break them in whatsoever. I sprayed the hose on them to make sure they’re waterproof, and they are! But some water will come in on the sides where there is fabric but that’s pretty standard with any boot like this. Just amazed at the quality and comfort for the price." —J. Enyeart
Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 4–12 and 13 colors).
23. A four-pack of trendy crop tops so you can get aaaalllI your go-to basics in one fell swoop. This pack comes with mix-and-match designs and comes in tons of colors, too (aka, you need to get multiple!).
Promising review: "These were well worth the value. Fit true to size, and all the material was thick, not see-through, and sturdy!" —Julia Fisher
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 16 pack options).
24. A wide brim fedora hat — the perfect accessory for an unfinished outfit (and the perfect accessory if you're having a bad hair day).
Promising review: "A STAPLE piece!! I am in looooove with this hat! 🤠It pretty much goes with every outfit and adds that extra spice. I get compliments on it every time I wear it! I'm seriously going to buy it in a few other colors because I love it so much. It's sturdy but not too sturdy to where it's uncomfortable. I have a pretty big head, and it fits great!" —Brandi
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in 30 colors).
25. A stunning pure linen puff-sleeve blouse giving major cottagecore vibes. Reviewers are in awe of the amazing quality, feel, and straight-up beauty of the garment. And the fact that it comes in so many color options means you just *have* to get more than one!
Mondo Bellissimo is a woman-owned small business that makes beautiful handmade clothing — dresses, jumpsuits, coats, etc — all made of pure linen!
Promising review: "Honestly, my jaw genuinely dropped when I put it on. It looks so beautiful (and I look beautiful in it???), and the seller was really helpful in answering questions. Shipping took a bit of time, which is more than understandable. Very happy and will be ordering again very soon :)" —Keri Eileen Charlton
Get it from Mondo Bellissimo on Etsy for $74.15+ (originally $105.93+; available in sizes XS–3X or custom sizing, and in 35 colors).
26. Ah, Dr. Martens combat boots — probably one of the first things that come to mind when you think "fall boots." And for good reason. You've got 100% long-lasting leather, comfortable "Air-Cushioned" soles, and an iconic style that never goes out of fashion.
FYI, Dr. Martens generally run a little large, so I recommend going half a size down if you're looking for a perfect fit or getting your own size if you don't mind a little extra room!
Get them from Dr. Martens for $170 (available in sizes 5–12 and in eight colors) or from Amazon for $169.95+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in six colors).
27. A silky midi slip dress with a deep V-neck in front and in back for a dramatic effect. Dress it up with a pair of heels or dress it down with sneakers and an oversized T-shirt on top. Either way, this dress is a must!
Promising reviews: "Love this dress! It’s so pretty and can be worn for so many occasions...I got so many compliments while wearing it, I can’t wait to wear it again." —Amazon Customer
"I received so many compliments when I wore this to my sister's wedding! Little stretchy, and it didn’t wrinkle after I initially steamed it. Washed perfectly on a gentle cycle. I will buy two other colors!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $54.90 (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 25 colors and prints).
28. Or a classic button-down blouse because they are still *very* important to have on deck! You can wear it on its own, as a cover-up, as a light layer — really, the options are endless. It's a classic piece you need in your closet, no matter the season.
Promising review: "Perfect everyday shirt. I love this shirt, it's light and can be worn in or out, or tight in a knot. Dress up or dress down, the material is not see-through. I'm considering buying it in a different color." —Tatiana
Get it from Amazon from $24.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 10 colors).
29. A pair of high-rise leggings — the OG lounging go-to before matching sets and biker shorts. Reviewers say these babies are ultra-comfortable and work great for everything from yoga to lounging around.
And yes, it has pockets!
Promising review: "I love these leggings! They are so comfortable and high quality. The material is fairly thick but not too hot. The best part is that the waist is tight enough to stay up when walking, running, etc, but doesn't feel constrictive." —Nicole D.
Get it from Girlfriend Collective for $88 (available in sizes XXS–6XL, two inseams, and in 12 colors).
30. A classic denim jacket with no fancy frills but that brings all the effortless style you can imagine — the key to easy styling.
Promising review: "The denim has a slight stretch...so I steamed it to relax the material, and it ended up being a perfect fit! I can even layer with a light hoodie underneath... Bonus Feature: I LOVE that there are so many pockets! (six total pockets: two chest, two side, two inside) The inside pockets can fit an iPhone X with case." —Kristianna B.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in XS—4X and seven colors).
31. A stylish midi tank dress perfect for those with a minimalist closet (or anyone who needs a few more good staple dresses). The material is stretchy, comfortable, and surprisingly thick, according to reviewers!
Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical about buying a bodycon dress from an unknown... but am soooo glad I did. The fit is amazing. I can dress it up or down (think New Year's Eve, or a beach party). It is really that cool and versatile... This is an all-season, all-event dress... This dress will work for a variety of body shapes. Cons: Sorry, can't think of any." —Susan R.
Get it from Amazon for $39.90 (available in sizes XXS–5X and in seven colors).
32. A stylish two-piece suit if you're looking to stand out in a crowd full of mini dresses. This set comes complete with a blazer and palazzo pants made with lightweight linen fabric. It'll have you feeling like you're roaming the streets of Italy!
BTW, this suit is custom made for YOU to ensure it fits just right. Just be sure to leave your measurements in the designated area before checking out!
Hey Mimi Sisters is a woman-owned small biz that makes gorgeous clothing — many of them made to order! Cool, right?
Promising reviews: "I bought the suit in khaki and added a pair of custom shorts so I could wear during the summer and I kid you not this is the coolest thing I have ever bought! It fits perfectly, despite the fact that I did not give very accurate measurements, and Stefaniya was great to work with. She answered promptly, was incredibly helpful and willing to make exactly what I wanted! I will definitely be buying in multiple colors." —hgkoennecke
"Wore it as a wedding guest and people loved my fit! One of the bridesmaid said I had the best outfit out of everyone there. Fit perfectly :)" —Jessica Lee
Get it from Hey Mimi Sisters on Etsy for $120+ (originally $150; available in custom sizes, four styles, and in 42 colors).
33. A strapless bustier to join the corset trend with something that'll last way after it's over. This top comes in 17 (!!) cute and bold colors; you may want a different one for every day of the week.
Promising review: "I purchased this corset after watching a TikTok video of another midsized girl talking about how great it is. It did not disappoint! It fits nicely. I got lots of compliments on it! Someone else pointed out to me that the fabric looks expensive and just like another bustier listed on PrettyLittleThings for over twice the price." —Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes 00–20 and in 20 colors).
34. A satin button-up that you'll be able to wear for any occasion. And it comes in so many colors and patterns you'll be saving yourself from the constant "I never have anything to wear" problem.
There are also non-satin options!
Promising reviews: "I am obsessed with this top. The color is beautiful, and it fits great. I wore it to go out, and I got so many compliments! I have huge boobs, so I got an XXL, and it was a bit oversized, which I love. Definitely recommend this." —C-money
"I originally bought the black and white, and I ended up getting so many compliments that I went back and bought the dark red and yellow for my friend! It's super lightweight, which I love for when I'm at work and also for when the weather is a little warmer. I wear it at work and when I'm going out, so it's very versatile." —megan thomas
Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and in 21 colors and patterns).
35. A cozy turtleneck sweater dress you're probably going to live in after you try it on once. It's super soft and comes in over 20 colors (aka no one will blame you for getting a few 😉).
BTW, reviewers suggest going a size up if you want a more oversized look.
Promising review: "Got it for the oversized look shown in the picture. I took the size recommendation survey to see what size to order. This sweater tapers at the bottom, and the sleeves, pulled down or pushed up, offer a refined look. I wore with open-toe booties and was complimented twice within the first hour of being out." —Valerie
Get it from Amazon for $23.79 (available in sizes S–3X and in 37 colors and prints).
36. A basic cropped tee with a twist — literally. The twist-front steps it up from a normal plain white tee, while it's still comfortable enough to lounge around the house in.
Promising reviews: "I got this shirt to work out in/lounge in. It is very comfy for both... the stretch and the front knot is very [cute]. Definitely a keep!" —Elizabeth Redwine
"OK, so I wouldn't say that I'm a huge fan of crop tops...BUT I have been wanting a crop to wear with high-waisted midi skirts and dresses, and voila!! The shirt is actually pretty thick, so you can't see the outline of the dresses too much. I'm really digging it for layering, and I like it better than the DIY-tied white tee look. SO if you are turned off by crop tops, consider it as a way to wear even more clothes and not just less!😂" —FerristOfThemAll
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 13 colors/patterns).
