Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.
1. An essential long-sleeve bodysuit that'll help you achieve a sleek fitted look without having to constantly keep tucking your top back into your pants. Many reviewers called this piece a fall staple, and you know what, they're right. Plus, it's affordable enough to buy in multiples!
Promising review: "So soft and comfy, a little warm, perfect for fall. The ideal companion to a high-waist jean!" —anonymous
Another promising review: "This is a perfect closet staple for fall. I bought it in white, and it's thick enough not to be see-through. It's fitted but not uncomfortably tight. Will definitely be looking to purchase in other colors!" —Meg Q
Get it from Old Navy for $29.99 (available in regular sizes XS–4X, petite and tall sizes XS–XXL, and five colors).
2. An adorable wide-leg jumpsuit, which looks like it came straight out of an expensive linen collection rather than good old Amazon dot-com. It's giving "cool art teacher" vibes and would look so cute under a chunky cardigan or paired with a fitted tee when the sun's in full force.
Promising review: "The photos do not do justice. I am in love with these. Quality cotton blend material. I wash delicate in cold water and hang to dry. Color stays and no shrinking. I chose to size up and they fit perfectly. I bought a second pair, I like them so much. They are super soft and comfortable." —Sunbunny064
Another promising review: "I got this to be sort of a summer into fall transition item and I’m so surprised by how comfortable it is! If you like things to fit snugly on you, don’t bother getting this because it is loose everywhere unless you tighten it all the way, but it’s super breathable and comfortable! Especially for layering!" —Brie Parry
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and 12 colors).
3. A v fall-appropriate pumpkin embroidered sweatshirt, because a cute pullover is just the ticket when you wanna feel cozy without sweating under a thick coat. Oh, and it would make the perfect "passing out candy on Halloween top" if you're just not that into full-on costumes.
Good Scout Supply is a North Carolina-based small biz specializing in super cute monogrammed apparel and accessories using a range of fun typefaces.
Promising review: "Super soft and warm without being too heavy — this was the perfect top for a brisk fall day!" —Emma Davidson
Another promising review: "This sweatshirt is so adorable! The quality is great, it runs true to size and the embroidery is perfection. Can’t wait for fall to come so I can wear it!" —Elizabeth
Get it from Good Scout Supply on Etsy for $38 (available in sizes S–3XL).
4. A stylish long-sleeve sheath dress complete with a tie-waist belt you can bulk up with leggings and a denim jacket or keep light with some knee-high boots and thin tights. Your obligatory orchard photoshoots just got a whole lot cuter.
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "The material is so soft. The pockets are legit pockets! And every time I wear this, I get all the compliments." —crhill20
Another promising review: "I bought this dress for a fall wedding. It was absolutely PERFECT. I’m not one who likes to wear dresses, as I am more a leggings-and-T-shirt person, but this dress I would wear every week! I 100% recommend." —Kelsey Ellis
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 23 colors/prints).
5. A pair of soft joggers, which, yes, FEEL like pjs, but are actually quite cute if you end up wearing them in front of other humans in public. The fabric strikes just the right balance between lightweight and cozy, and when you feel like putting exactly zero effort into your outfit, throw these babies on with some tennis shoes and you're golden.
I recently joined the 21st century and got my first pair of joggers (!), and they're this exact pair. I don't really know what I was thinking by holding off for so long — maybe I figured they would just be glorified sweatpants? — but I'm here to say that they have RUINED all other pants for me from here on out. They're SO soft, comfy enough to wear as pajamas or around the house when I'm feeling lazy, but cute enough for me to wear out without feeling self-conscious about looking like someone who couldn't be bothered to look presentable. In fact, I even wore them on Thanksgiving last year (a drawstring waist = you can chow down and still be comfortable), and no one was the wiser.
I love that they're a little looser on top and tapered at the bottom, making them look way more elevated than my baggy college sweats. There's not really much else to say about these pants other than, mark my words, I will be keeping an eye out for other colors. If you're on the fence, hop right on off and get them stat! PS: They come with super-roomy pockets. 🙌
Promising review: "The most comfortable pants EVER. I adore these pants! I was worried they'd be too long on me (most pants usually are), but they fit just right. Love the stretchy waistband and how I can wear them while being cozy at home or run errands while looking semi-human. :)" —Miriam S.
Get it from ThirdLove for $55 (available in sizes XS–3X and in black or gray).
6. An eye-catching leopard-sleeved sweater that'll stun everyone when they learn it's not by a swanky designer brand. Black cats, you've got some competition this month...
7. A drop dead gorgeous pair of wide-leg corduroys you'll be tempted to buy in every autumnal color once you see how stunning and comfy they are. Wear 'em with boots or sneaks, and be prepared for lots of "Where are those from?!"
Promising review: "I love these pants. They fit perfectly and true to size. They are super soft and very cute!" —lumalady
Another promising review: "These pants are divine. The waistband doesn’t give very much at first, but the pants will stretch out throughout the day. Not exaggerating here, I literally got five compliments from total strangers on my pants. Total winners." —Anthromollogies
Get it from Anthropologie for $138 (available in standard and tall sizes 24–33, plus sizes 16–26, petite sizes 24–32, and five colors — not all colors available in all sizes).
8. A colorful striped pullover, which is so fun, even people who "don't do" stripes will have a hard time resisting its charms (can we also talk about that A+ slouch factor?).
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "When I bought this, I was a bit unsure if it could live up to my other sweaters. Now it's probably my favorite to wear during sweater weather 😊 It's warm, cute, super soft, colors are as shown, and the neck is pretty stretchy so if you wanna show a lil' strap action you can! Overall I'd recommend this to others!" —Kae
Another promising review: "This sweater is adorable! I love the unique color combo, I got the orange and navy striped and it is a staple in my wardrobe. You can dress it up or dress it down, it is not itchy, it is not too thick or too thin. It looks great with jeans and boots, you could wear it in the fall or in the winter! I love it as a front-tuck option for my high-waisted jeans. I’ve washed it several times on cold and hang it to dry and it still looks great! Excellent value for the super reasonable price point." —Ashley Mancione
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 19 designs).
9. A pair of spooky ghost sweats for anyone who thinks Halloween is a personality, namely theirs. But even if you're not into all things scary, these friendly-looking ghosts are really cute. 🥺

Get it from Amazon for $44.90 (available in sizes XXS–3X and five colors).
12. A cozy wrap sweater dress, which will go ~perfectly~ with the ultimate fall accessory — a piping hot PSL. The short length earns it an A+ for versatility, so pair it with tall boots at the start of the season and opaque tights as winter approaches.
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "Run to buy this dress! It is so comfy and the color is fantastic. It is a fitted bottom but there is a lot of stretch. This is also a very soft sweater material, not itchy at all." —Kathleen
Another promising review: "Okay, I am totally in love with this dress. I am always skeptical buying clothes online, especially dresses, when I can’t try them on. But WOW. This dress is so beautiful. It fits like a dream, and the material is such wonderful quality. I have already bought it in two colors. I love the tight fit, and that it’s not too tight, but just tight enough. This dress keeps me incredibly warm as well, so I can totally wear it during wintertime! I love that the tie is a separate piece because you can make it just how you want. It’s a perfect fit! I have nothing bad to say about this dress, and I can’t wait to buy more!! :)" —Katie
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 22 colors).
13. An otherworldly pair of sherpa-lined joggers, because why shouldn't your legs feel like they're being hugged by a fluffy sheep when the temps drop? Cozy, plush, you'll never take 'em off.
Promising review: "I’ve gone through so many 'fleece cold weather' pants and none have performed nearly as well as these. Either the wind cuts through the fabric or the material isn’t thick enough to keep my legs warm. The sherpa inner lining is super soft; the outer material holds up well after multiple washes. The loose-fit, un-tapered design is what makes it so ridiculously comfy. The look is cute enough to run errands while staying warm. The pockets are deep enough so my stuff doesn’t fall out." —Bargain Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $22.94+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 12 colors).
14. A lightweight knit Madewell cardigan with a cute cropped fit that'll perfectly skim the tops of all your new high-waisted pants. Wear it buttoned for a preppier look, or partially open when you're going for a more relaxed feel. Psst: It's made from a cozy alpaca yarn blend!
Promising review: "I got the sweater in green and am obsessed with how rich the color is! Some reviewers indicated it was a bit too thin, but I love that for layering purposes so things don't get too heavy! The material is super soft, the length isn't too short or cropped, and I find it to be super versatile. Would love for more colors!" —KatieK24
Get it from Madewell for $94.50 (originally $110; available in sizes XXS–4X and four colors).
15. A casual-chic oversized sweatshirt and shorts duo, because I can't be the only one who gets excited about "shorts-and-long-sleeves" weather. This lovely matching set looks like it's from a high-end loungewear brand, but costs less than 50 bucks (!).
Promising review: "Great quality, very soft and comfortable. Order your normal size. Great price! I’m ordering more." —Judith digregorio
Another promising review: "Most comfortable outfit everrrrr! Bought for my travel outfit for my bachelorette trip and now wear it alllll the time because it’s so comfy and GREAT quality! Plan to order in other colors!" —Adrianna B.
Get it from Amazon for $26.34+ (available in sizes S–XL and 15 colors).
16. Or a waffle knit long-sleeve top and shorts set you'll be glad you have on those in-between days when you need something a liiittle bit toasty but would also appreciate some airflow. Oh, and did I mention it's just really friggin' cute?
Promising review: "This little lounging outfit is so cozy and cute! Super soft. I love it!!" —Patti Katter
Another promising review: "I'm new to buying fashion on Amazon. I always worry about 'quality' pieces actually coming from Amazon...but this set defies all of it!! It's a thick, cozy waffle material that you will want to lounge in all day and night! I'm a work-from-home mama, so I don't really get dressed up every day. This is such a great alternative because I still feel cute but am also comfortable! Great set all around. Highly recommend!" —danielle comstock
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 32 colors).
17. A flowy pair of palazzo pants that'll put you right in that cool-warm sweet spot, with their long length, structured fit up top, and airier silhouette below. Dust off your chunky boots, throw on a cute top, and you've got yourself an A+ fall outfit.
Promising review: "The color is exactly what I wanted. In fact, it's perfect for more tops I own than I realized! The fabric is so soft and luxurious — I love the feel of it. The pants also drape beautifully. I think because the front is not elasticized, they flow more smoothly without bunching at the waistline. The elastic back allows some "give," so really, a perfect combination. I am so glad that I bought these!" —Pete
Promising review: "I ended up buying five pairs in different colors and talked a friend into one. (She loves them). These are top quality. Tailored like fine trousers. Extremely comfortable, soft, flowing material. I can wear year round. Fit is perfect. Washed with no problem. I pressed a little because I like a polished look. They do not wrinkle with wearing. Bonus was they are such a good price!!!" —Chris
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, including short sizes, and 31 styles — not all styles available in all sizes).
18. A beautiful vintage-inspired floral sweatshirt you'll appreciate on days when you're feeling a little tired of seeing red, orange, and brown everywhere. Don't worry, spring will be here before you know it, so curl up with some hot cider and enjoy comfy clothes season!

19. A comfy leopard-print maxi with warm long sleeves and — wait for it — POCKETS! And if leopard's not your thing, it comes in plenty of other lovely floral prints and solids to rock this fall.
Promising review: "This dress is absolutely everything. I got it in leopard print and it looks amazing and it's so soft! I cannot wait to buy it in more colors." —Lindsey T.
Another promising review: "Leopard print is all the rage again, and I’m loving it! This dress gives me such confidence and is lightweight enough to wear in the 80s but also comfortable enough to wear in the lower temps also. The fit was right on point for my larger, curvy, plus-size body! One of the best features is that this dress has pockets and is super comfortable. I want this dress in every color and pattern!" —Chrissy Meijer
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes 14–26, as well as 33 other colors/prints).
20. A super-popular turtleneck sweater mini you can pair with leggings or even jeans when the temperatures drop, though it would also look fab with thigh-high boots on milder days. Oversized comfort at its coziest.
PS: It has pockets!
Promising review: "Good quality, washes nicely and super soft and comfy! I’ve been wearing it with black leggings and black ankle boots." —Jazzy 74
Another promising review: "I love this sweater dress! I bought it in two colors. I live in Wyoming, and it is very cold here during the winter months. I wear this dress with a pair of fleece-lined leggings, and I stay very warm. I have received many compliments from coworkers. This sweater dress is loose, but I think that makes it comfortable. I love the pockets. I was even called a VSCO girl because of this sweater lol." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 34 colors/prints).

Art Care Shop is an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based small biz making stylish and comfy "basics" that are actually anything but. Also, I love that they call the pants in this set the "Jasmine Joggers" because they were designed to fit like Jasmine's pants in Aladdin!
Promising review: "Sooo, I’m obsessed with this. I have it in blue lavender and charcoal now, and both are perfect! The material is so soft and plush and warm (like, impressively high quality), and I love the high waisted pants! I don’t remember how I found this shop, but I’m so glad I did. Also — I ended up exchanging sizes, and it was the easiest exchange of my life! And shipping is always super quick!" —Caroline Morris
Get it from Art Care Shop on Etsy for $115 (available in sizes XS–XL and eight colors).
22. And a cozy loungewear set that's way more elevated than your standard sweats with its crisscross V-neck crop top and slightly flared bottoms. Plus, it's so affordable you should just scoop it up in every color.
Promising review: "I’ve worn it only twice now, and I’ve gotten so many compliments already. <3 Very soft loungewear, but is cute enough to be worn out! Highly recommend wearing to a cold movie theatre; it’s like having a blanket." —Caroline O.
Get it from Forever 21 for $12 (originally $44.99; available in sizes 0X–3X and three colors).
23. A rustic-chic plaid button-down shacket for a little extra insulation on those in-between days when you could use a moderately-thick extra layer. Did someone say "apple picking outfit"?

Another promising review: "I absolutely love this!! Fits perfectly! It's long and a little big. How I want it. Quality is amazing! Very thick fabric. Will keep you warm with style!!

Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "This shirt is so soft and cozy. I really like the buttons on it and the colors in it are beautiful! It may be a bit on the bigger side but nothing bad, plus I like that I’ll be able to wear a long-sleeved shirt underneath and have it open if I want!" —Lauren Sims

Promising review: "These joggers are so soft, so cute, I practically live in them. They wash well without fading, too. I haven’t dried them because they are a prized possession. They look great on and are warm enough to wear in cool weather, but light enough for nearly any warm temp." —LindSaH
Get it from Amazon for $32.98+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 12 colors).
26. A silky long-sleeved dress that'll probably become your new favorite fall/winter party outfit. Pair it with bare legs and heels when weather isn't an issue, or slip on some tights and ankle boots when you need a little more coverage. Best of all, it looks way more expensive than it actually is.

I later paired it with some dressy flats to go to dinner and everyone raved about how nice I look. The material is so soft and it’s the right thickness to keep you warm on a chilly day but not too hot for a sunny day. I will order more." —KJ
