1. A denim pencil skirt that goes with pretty much anything but is still special enough to get a ton of compliments.
Promising review: "LOVE these skirts! I have three now (black denim, gray, and light blue). I get compliments every time I wear them. Looks cute in flats and super cute in heels! You can dress it down or up...multi-look skirt!" —Brenda Torres
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 2–24 and 33 colors, plus shorter styles).
2. A Y2K-ish top with a cropped fit and lacy off-the-shoulder neckline that's the perfect elevated staple. It's a little different, but also goes with everything.
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $39 (available in sizes XS–XL and lavender).
3. An oversized sweater dress for next-level snuggliness that could rival that of a teddy bear.
4. A ruffled midi skirt you can wear alone, or layer under any other skirt that needs more dimension.
Get it from Old Navy for $44.99 (available in sizes XS–4X).
5. A pair of barrel-leg chinos with cropped legs so you can show off those funky boots you can finally wear...probably soon.
Get it from Banana Republic for $130 (available in sizes 0–20 and three colors).
6. A flowy shift dress with little fluffy polka dot appliques that, sure, is great for garden parties and strolls on the boardwalk, but consider this: leggings and combat boots. Yes, that's right — this is an all-season find.
Oh, and it does come in long-sleeve options as well!
Promising review: "Bought this for a wedding and got so many compliments! Super easy to dress up or down and the color is beautiful!" —Danny Prince
Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 18 colors).
7. A pleated faux-leather skirt equipped with built-in shorts so you can brave windy autumn nights and subway vents without worrying about potential Monroe moments.
Promising review: "This skirt looks like it costs FAR more than the $20 I spent on it. I was worried that a cheap pleather skirt would look it and this completely exceeded all my expectations. There are shorts underneath, which is great since it doesn't ride up like other skater skirts that also don't sit quite at the natural waist (although they did take a little bit of a mental adjustment because I'm not used to having to unzip skirts in order to use the restroom). Quality of fabric is awesome, construction and design look great, too." —Jeanette Santori
Get it from Amazon for $22.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and five colors).
8. A plaid ringer tea dress giving effortless '90s vibes. Now to just dust off the ole' Doc Martens in storage.
Rudie is a woman-owned small business that sells ethically-made, minimum waste clothing. The looks are inspired by the founder's punk parents.
Get it from Rudie for $146 (available in sizes XS–3XL).
9. A strapless knit top just begging to be worn with some wide legs pants. Finish with some chunky necklaces and baby? You got an outfit going.

11. A darling plaid skirt best paired with a nice cup of tea and a good book.
Promising review: "I love this skirt very very much! It’s so soft and comfortable! The one thing is that it’s a bit heavy, it’s comfortable to wear but I cannot take it with me on trips because it does weight my luggage quite a bit." —Blue
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–M and three colors).
12. A turtleneck sweater dress that seems to be screaming for a cropped leather jacket and a warm cup of cider. It's honestly hurting my ears.

13. A striped knit sweater proving that the best time to wear a striped sweater is all the time.

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

19. An oversized knitted sweater-vest to capture the ever-coveted "fashionable math teacher" look.
Promising review: "Love this! Well worth the price! I ordered a medium so that it wouldn’t be too oversized and look awkward. And it fits perfect!! I paired it with a white turtleneck underneath, but the options are limitless here. Was surprised at the quality of this item...it’s very soft and thick. Which wasn’t what I expected at all. My only real complaint is the price of the item. However, this item is very trendy, so I understand. Would definitely, and might, buy again very soon!" —Amazon Customer

Reviewers say this runs large so, depending on the type of fit you're going for, you may want to order a size down.
Promising review: "Super cute and oversized for pairing with any outfit. Got the green for St. Patrick’s day then ordered black because I loved it so much. Large was super comfy and cute with a black bodysuit under it!" —Lindsey Daniels
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 13 colors/styles).
22. A cotton dickey collar so you can get the benefits of layering (cute looks) without the downsides (bunched up clothing).
Promising review: "It’s a good value, fits nicely in the 'V' of a sweater. The underarm straps are comfortable and a nice addition to the dickey of the old days. The length is long enough for a deeper V sweater but would not work for a button down cardigan sweater. For the money don’t hesitate to give it to try." —Duffy
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four styles and in multi-packs).
23. Something I never thought would come back in style cargo pants. And you know what? I need several pairs.
Promising review: "This is my second pair. I probably will order more in diff colors. They are so comfortable. They have a little bit of stretch to them and they hug you just right, but give a little where needed. These have become my favorite pair of casual pants to wear." —Joyce Kirkpatrick
Get it from Amazon for $40.99 (available in sizes 4–18 and 15 colors).
24. A bodycon pencil dress because you can alwaaaays use another LBD.
Promising review: "I love this dress. Simple and professional. It molds to my body, and it wasn't too long. It can be worn with a nice necklace to spruce it up, and flats and/or pumps. The material is also versatile enough so that it can be worn year round, all you need is a pair of stockings or tights, but the dress will work either way. I plan to order more colors." —LadyLestat
Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in sizes L–5XL and seven colors).
25. A plaid blazer with a loose fit for maximum professor coziness.
Promising review: "Love, love, love this coat, and it’s become a staple in my closet. The interior is silky, and the material on the outside keeps you warm. I wore it over a dress in New York, and it kept me warm in October. Also love that it’s a little oversized so it fits fashionably." —Mary A
