Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A short slouchy cardigan practically begging to be added to your wardrobe. This easy breezy layer is made from a cozy knit that is equal portions comfortable and stylish — simply drape it over anything in your wardrobe for a kick of warmth.
2. A ribbed sweater dress made from a soft, comfortable material that doesn't feel stifling. If the fabric and silhouette aren't enough to win you over, let me present my closing argument: pockets.
3. High-waisted leggings guaranteed to make you feel trendier than thou strutting to your usual dinner spot. Pair these with any simple top to make it look as if you didn't snooze through your alarm this morning.
4. An open-front cardigan worthy of all the compliments it's bound to receive. Slipping this on over a wrinkled white tee and your most faded denim = upping your ~chic~ factor by about 97%. You can't argue with science.
5. A tortoise-shell button-down destined to fall into the "I should've bought this sooner" section of your wardrobe. This classic silhouette paired with a corduroy fabric = autumn perfection.
6. A high-waisted wide-leg pant that's available in a slew of neutral colors (think: black, white, navy, dark green). These are designed with an elastic waistband, aka these are a far cry in comfort from the stiff denim you're typically reaching for.
7. A sleeved off-shoulder bodycon because you may have been invited to a champagne-sipping event, but your budget is more like the $2 beer special. This number looks expensive but is actually quite affordable.
8. A pair of plaid knit leggings for a look that one-ups your favorite black yoga bottoms (but is still significantly more comfortable than any of the denim residing inside your Ikea drawers).
9. An off-shoulder top because while we talk about the importance of the LBD, I'd argue that the little black top is just as important — perhaps even more important.
10. A ribbed knit pencil skirt that looks so. damn. chic. Mama loves comfy clothes that fool the masses into thinking I'm trendy (mama in this context = me), and this skirt provides just that.
11. A flowy ruffled dress I'm envisioning paired with the holy duo: combat boots and a faux leather jacket. Autumnal perfection.
12. A mock-neck bodysuit bound to be on constant rotation this fall. While this piece of clothing may not wear Uggs or guzzle down pumpkin spice, it still remains the perfect basic.
13. A V-neck pullover I intend on buying and wearing all chilly season long — apologies in advance to the friends and random Instagram followers from high school who will only be seeing this on my stories.
14. An oversized sweatshirt about to become the loungewear equivalent of your favorite jeans: In other words, this will be worn every. single. day. Opt for matching sweatpants if you're feeling extra frisky.
15. A ribbed knit tunic that screams fall aesthetics thanks to an oversized, ultra-comfortable style — one that can be worn as a minidress with booties *or* a plain old sweater with leggings.
16. A fleece hoodie dress that I intend on buying/hibernating in all chilly season long. 🎶 So long, farewell, gotta add this to my Amazon cart. 🎶
17. A turtleneck sweater dress for a chic way to feel as if you're *wearing* that ultra-soft throw blanket you purchased in three colors from TJ Maxx. The rib-knit material is truly a joy.
18. A romper comfy enough for errands and hikes but *also* swanky enough for dinner and drinks. I've never leaned into a style trend so quickly. Bless the trend gods for making this easy 'fit so popular again.
19. A half-zip pullover to celebrate the arrival of *cue trumpets and horns* sweater season. Available in a ton of neutral hues, pair this with jeans, leggings, or slacks for a comfy but put-together look.
20. A brushed shacket because, other than the obvious breakfast choice (apple cider donuts) and crunchy leaves, there's another sheriff in town when it comes to fall dressing: plaid. This staple is ideal for spooky season but is also warm enough for winter layer wear.
21. An open-front cardigan that'll have you thinking "hark the herald" because angels do sing — at last, you've found the perfect layer to keep you warm and trendy. One that will never clash with an outfit.
22. An essential cropped tank that has most likely been blessed by a fairy godmother. Why? This takes your basic cami and goes *poof.* An instantly chic upgrade is yours for the taking due to this high-neck silhouette.
23. A bodycon pencil dress that looks so. damn. chic. And while the importance of owning the perfect LBD is no secret, it's likely you've had the same one for... decades (#guilty). I believe it's time we both level up.
24. An off-shoulder jumpsuit because in the year that won't be named (*ahem* literally the one we are living in now), the impossible has happened: we've gotten sick of leggings. This simple number provides all the comfort from our once beloved staple but looks far more put-together.
25. A V-neck ribbed sweater with the word versatility written all over it in invisible ink. This wardrobe basic can be worn to anything, with anything — and it's great for the sightly chilly days of fall and full-blown freezing temps of winter.
26. A batwing sweater complete with an asymmetrical hem you'll want to pair with leggings, combat boots, and a trendy fedora for a look that says, "Why yes, this is something you have saved to a Pinterest board."
27. A maxi dress featuring the mack daddy of fashion designs: pockets. Throw in super soft fabric and you've got yourself a recipe for perfection.
28. A drawstring romper with all the comfort of the pajama set you've been wearing to bed since 1893, but it's not fuzzy fleece rubber duck pajamas and ergo a *lot* more chic.
29. A baggy overall for anyone who detests having to scrounge up a matching top and bottom, plus wants to look peak Instagram-worthy in their loungewear — all you'll have to do is slip this on over a bralette *or* a sleeved tee.
