We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A corduroy button-down that'll help you nail that "oh, this? I just threw it on" look that all of your favorite stars have down. (I'm looking at you, Dakota Johnson.)
2. A pair of cowgirl-inspired western boots if TikTok has turned you on to the trend but you've struck out finding an affordable vintage pair at any consignment shop in a 50-mile radius.
3. A faux-croc shoulder bag (with an added cross-body chain) because no matter your age, you deserve to dress/accessorize like a Gen Z influencer if you so please! (Daily affirmation complete.)
4. A layered initial and paper clip chain necklace for those who love the look of two-plus pieces, but don't want to deal with sourcing them individually. I've been there, done that, and gotta say that this way, you don't have to deal with uneven lengths or unexpected tangles.
5. A mineral-wash quilted jacket that'll allow you to roll through your day as if you never got out of bed. (AKA my absolute dream.)
6. An oversized plaid shacket my family back in New Hampshire would really get a kick out of cause they've been wearing them for function, not fashion (and since before I was born), but here we are!
7. Or an even longer plaid shacket because it's FINALLY the season for lots of layers and there's no stopping you now.
8. A set of chunky dome rings just like the ones you've seen on IG, but for way, way less. Just keep 'em away from your lotions and hand sanitizer and they should hold up A-OK.
9. A slinky turtleneck bodysuit that can make a statement on its own or play supporting actor to any particularly daring bottoms you've got in mind.
10. A chunky oversized sweater guaranteed to keep you snug as a bug in a rug even though you're a human who exists exclusively in Spanx faux-leather leggings.
11. A pair of button-fly raw hem jeans that go *perfectly* with crop tops, slinky tanks, open-front cardigans, and whatever else you're planning to wear in those two weird fall weeks when it's, like, hot but also cold?
12. Or if you want something with a lil' more pizzazz — a bold pair of wide-leg jeans if regular ol' blue denim just isn't you but cow-print pants in every shade of Roy G. Biv absolutely are. ❤️ 💜 💚
13. Some chunky burgundy loafers that'll stand out from the crowd since they're not your typical black shoe. If you're ready to just do the dang thing (the thing being the loafer trend, ofc) throw on some slouchy crew socks while you're at it!
14. An oversized knit cardigan if watching Sex Education and Derry Girls (on repeat) has you channeling academia vibes.
15. A set of chunky claw clips because the young'uns all over TikTok are wearing them and for some reason, you've been swayed by this. ("You" being me, ofc.)
16. A pair of ~edgy~ huggie pendant earrings with your choice of dangly evil eye, sun, star, spike, or snake charms that may just make you want to shake around like a bobblehead for all to see.
17. A one-and-done oversized sweatshirt dress because sometimes, just having to change out of PJs and then pick out undergarments is already more than I can handle.
18. An off-the-shoulder knit duo so sleek and expensive looking, it's exactly what I imagine Hailey Bieber is hanging out in at home. Even if you do have unlimited funds to throw at your matching loungewear, why waste $$$ when you can look this good for 30 bucks.
19. A pair of classic gold-dipped hoops that take ~literally~ no effort or know-how to style. While they're pretty substantial in size, they are unbelievably lightweight, so you don't have to worry about saggy lobes.
20. A batwing sweater dress you can layer over tights for extra warmth, dress down with trendy sneakers, or dress up with daring over-the-knee boots. With this dress, the world is truly your oyster.
21. A wool-blend miniskirt with a timeless silhouette prepared to pull the weight of your entire outfit.
22. A Hollywood glam satin scarf you can wear SO many ways. Use it as a headband or scrunchie, tie it around your purse handle for extra oomph, wear it around your neck, the list goes on and on.
23. A pair of flared high-rise jeans because, as we all know, fashion is cyclical and wide-leg denim is back for its seventh (or so) moment in the sun.
24. A pair of fleece-lined leggings so incredibly soft and warm, you just won't believe it. If you've been eyeing a pair from Spanx but don't have $100 to shell out, they're a great dupe!
25. A pair of faux snake skin booties that now have that "I'm a snake" YouTube video stuck in my head. Go ahead, google it if you don't remember.
26. A pair of faux-leather pants with a high-waisted design and ankle-baring cut so you can up the ante with your coolest footwear, too.
27. An oversized sweater-vest that is the *choice* grandma/grandpa knit of 2022. Throw it on over a crisp button-down and you're in business, baby.
28. A silky satin midi skirt with a silhouette that says "chic" and an elastic waistband that says "I'll give your most comfortable sweats a go."
29. A $15 baguette ring that — despite your overgrown cuticles — is sure to look like a million bucks!
My colleague Ali Faccenda has one (she's pictured above!) and says:
"This is my most beloved ring at the moment and I've wanted one in this exact style for some time now. I love the asymmetrical placement of the stones where they're not in a perfect aligned shape, it adds some character. It honestly looks fab when I wear it on any finger — thumb, index, middle finger (it truly doesn't matter, it looks good ALWAYS). I've washed my hands a bunch with it too and I've seen no signs of wear and tear. This is a jewelry ~steal.~"
Promising review: "THIS RING. It shipped very quickly and it arrived in a nice blue velvet bag. It fits pretty true to size and is not super heavy, but not flimsy or cheap either. It is well made and seems to hold up pretty well, given that I'm usually pretty tough on jewelry. The stones seem to be set very securely and it has not at all tarnished or discolored, though I do take it off to wash my hands, apply lotion, etc. and do not wear it 24 hours a day. And the SPARKLE! It shines in the dark and in the light it just absolutely gleams. I've gotten so many compliments on it and I am absolutely in love!!" —Keri Alford
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in sizes 5–9 and seven finishes/styles).
30. An on-trend faux-leather fanny pack with just enough room for all of your essentials: smartphone, card wallet, and pack of Fruit Stripe gum (you know — the one with the Zebra and temporary tattoos) that only keeps its flavor for like two seconds but it just tastes so darn good.
Promising reviews: "Obsessed with this bag! Looks expensive and is so cute with any outfit! Great for the price." —Allyson
"What an adorable bag! Perfect to be on-trend and hands-free when you’re out and about. The snake print matches with black or brown and will look so good this fall with sweaters, denim, and boots." —Dan
Get it from Amazon for $29.90 (available in seven colors/styles).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime, you can give this a spin before you buy it!
31. A pair of extra-wide-leg darted palazzo pants that are not only extremely on-trend, but also allow for ample airflow. It's basically like wearing a dress, but you don't have to worry about accidentally flashing anyone if a gust of wind catches you by surprise.
Promising review: "Wasn't sure what to expect for the cost but they are amazing! Look waaay more expensive. I returned a $90 pair because these were better. Fit is great and true to size. Going to get a second color." —Emily K Mathews
Get them from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X and 22 colors and patterns).
32. And a faux-suede blazer sure to make you feel like an absolute boss even if the only reason you're wearing it outside is because your favorite hoodie is in the wash and you *need* a BEC stat.
Promising review: "Great jacket for the fall! Can dress it up or looks good with more casual shirts and jeans, too." —Maurice's Reviewer
Get it from Maurices for $44.90+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 0X–4X).
When I *finally* have a social event to attend and can wear my new faux-leather pants:
