1. A fuzzy three-piece loungewear set that's sure to pass for Skims but honor your TJ Maxx budget.
Promising review: "No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price. The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think theyāre plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together. Anyway, Iām back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much!" āJenna
Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $53.99Ā (available in sizes SāXL and in 31 colors).
2. A cozy Aerie V-neck sweaterĀ I can all but guarantee you will LIVE in this winter. It's got an oversized fit and longer cuffs you can even wear pulled all the way down ā or Ariana Grande style, if you will.Ā
Promising review: "This is now my favorite lightweight sweater of the year! Most of my sweaters and T-shirts are from Aerie, and Iām always excited to try a new style and fit, particularly ones that make port access that much easier during my chemotherapy cycles. Aerieās Unreal V-Neck Sweater is absolutely heavenly in fabric, and exactly how I like oversized styles to fit. Size down for a traditional fit. While not a heavy winter fabric, this is perfect for layering or wearing casually around the house." āColleen C.
Get it from Aerie for $35.97Ā (originally $59.95; available in sizes XXSāXXL and in seven colors).
3. A pair of fleece-lined joggersĀ you'll literally only take off to wash. Might as well buy two or three pairs now because once you slip these babies on, there's no going back to normal pants.
Promising review: "These pants are warm and comfortable. I have been wearing these for over a year now and they are wonderful. They wash and dry well, and I have experienced no pills or shrinkage. They also have a functional back pocket as well as side pockets. I have these in three colorsĀ and I will purchase again." āSpotted Mermaid
Get it from Amazon $38.99Ā (available in sizes XSāXXL and in 12 colors).
FYI, if you haveĀ Amazon Prime, you can give these a spin before you buy them!
4. A teddy coat that's positively hibernation ready but also sophisticated thanks to its tailored silhouette and large lapels. You can use it to dress up any outfit including the most basic (no haters) leggings and a tee.
Promising review: "GUYS, OMG this jacket is definitely a hidden gem. It's so soft and makes you look so sophisticated!! It does shed a little at first, so definitely wash this before you wear it unless you want little specks all over your clothes ā I learned the hard way LOL. However, I wore this in 50-degree-Fahrenheit weather and it kept me warm! This is definitely one of those 'blanket ā but make it fashion' pieces HAHA I love it so much."ā @KATHY_VU
Get it from Amazon for $61.99Ā (available in sizes Sā3XL and 24 colors).
5. A off-the-shoulder, bell sleeve maxi dress if the only way you're willing to change out of PJs is if it's into something equally as comfortable.
6. A faux shearling moto jacketĀ that you'll get years and years of use out of because it's a classic. Simple as that.Ā
Promising review: "Really an excellent steal! Just like the one from Zara but more comfortable, half the price and warmer. Wore it a few times and already got a dozen compliments." āAleksandra Teichman
"Beautiful coat!! Looks and feels like expensive Italian leather. You have to literally touch it to feel that it's not and even then, it's not obvious. The fur is thick and plush. Very well made and beautiful. I'm so glad I was able to find such a beautiful substitute for leather. Note: the sleeves are a bit tight at the shoulder area so if you don't want it form fitting, size up." āmarco topete
Get it from Amazon for $69.99Ā (available in sizes SāXL and 10 colors and styles).
7. A fuzzy hooded cardigan one buyer says is as plush as a baby blanket! And if that's not a 10/10 review, idk what is!
Promising review: "Absolutely LOVE this jacket. I bought it in two colors: black and white. Well made, super warm, and comfy. I washed it and hung it to dry immediately and the fur changed slightly but still great. I plan to wear with tights or my distressed jeans. It is true to size. I usually wear a small but bought a medium, and it was an oversized fit just like I wanted. The jacket is so versatile I plan to make this a 'go-to' gift for all my friends." āReading for Knowledge
Get it from Amazon for $37.98+ (available in sizes Sā3X and 45 colors/prints).
FYI, if you haveĀ Amazon Prime, you can give this a spin before you buy it!
8. A slouchy matching setĀ people will easily think you dropped over $100 on. But really, you could get two for that price. šĀ
Promising review:Ā Ā "The material feel and weight is very luxe. A must-have set. Looks and feels very chic, especially with a little French tuck action. Canāt wait to order in other colors!!!" āMichelle Ramirez
Get it from Amazon for $51.99 (available in sizes SāXL and in 25 colors).
9. A buffalo plaid poncho all of your friends (and enemies) will envy. If you identify with Charlie Brown's BFF Linus ā you know, from Peanuts ā then this glorified throw blanket is for you.
Promising review: "I LOVE this!!! It is as thick as a wool blanket, nearly as soft as silk, yet still lightweight, warm, cozy! I work the graveyard shift at work in the High Plains so sometimes when I get off work early in the morning it can be as much as 50 degrees colder than it was went I left for work! This is a great for me so I can have something in my bag to cover up with on those colder mornings!" āElle
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in 13 colors).
10. A faux-fur bucket hat that will soon become a staple in your wardrobe. Yes, it'll keep your noggin nice and warm, but it'll also be a magnet for compliments and "Where'd you get that?!" inquiries.
Promising review: "Not only is it warm for the winter season but sooooo warm and FASHIONABLE!! I have been wearing this hat everywhere!! Itās a bit big but honestly that just makes it more cozy. I love it!!" āGrace Beardsely
Get it from Amazon for $18.99Ā (available in 41 colors/patterns).Ā
11. Or aĀ hand-knit balaclava you can add on to any coat that doesn't have a hood. It has ties, too, so you can cinch it up real tight if you turn down a street that happens to actually be a wind tunnel.Ā
Little Angel Queen is a Londonābased small biz that sells all sorts of balaclavas, beanies, scarves, and cold weather accessories.Ā
Promising review: "Genuinely thrilled with this snood. It fits PERFECTLY and Iāve had so many compliments on the color, and customer service is EXCELLENT! š©·" āAruhan Bisengalieva
Get it from Little Angel Queen on Etsy for $33.17 (available in nine colors).Ā
12. AĀ cable knit chunky pullover sweaterĀ that's actually long enough to wear as a dress so you don't even have to worry about any uncomfortable pants being part of your outfit equation.Ā Ā
Promising review: "This sweater dress is a dream! Not a scratchy material, not super short (especially for anyone with a little more in the back), warm, literally the PERFECT sweater dress!! Some sweaters I donāt like because the wind will blow through the holes from the knitting/stitching but this one is perfect. It looks great on anyone and the burgundy is a stunning wine color thatās great for the holidays! Iāll probably be wearing this to Thanksgiving dinner for sure and more than likely, a Christmas event, too!" āTaylor
Get it from Amazon forĀ $49.99Ā (available in sizes XSāXL and in 23 colors).
13. A fleece hoodie dress you can pull on real quick for those times when you texted your friend that you left the house 10 minutes ago but in reality you just stepped out of the shower.
Promising review: "Great fall go-to outfit with your favorite pair of boots. The material is just right. It washes well, no shrinkage or fading. It's roomy and I like it to fit big, so I had plenty of room. I could have gone down a size, but this was just right for me. Plus I like to layer my clothing during the winter months. This is not an olive green, but more of a dark hunter green. I still gave it five stars. I ordered three more in differentĀ colors." āYnv-Jazz-E
Get it. from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes Sā3X and 16 colors)
14. A low-pile fleece shacket to emulate your favorite throw. If you can't be on your couch wrapped up in its embrace all night long, this is at least the next best thing.
Promising review: "This is the perfect shacket! Every bit as good a quality as Columbia clothing for half the price; itās a low-pile fleece so it looks sleek but is cozy. The top pockets are faux, but it has real side pockets that are perfectly positioned; the trim is sorta nylon material ā but nice, smooth, and doesnāt look at all cheap or like it would snag; it looks both smart and casual at the same time. I love the gray with jeans but I think the cream or black would look nice with dress pants; itās perfect length; Iāll be ordering more colors." āKj
Get it from Amazon for $41.98Ā (available in sizes SāXXL and 30 colors).
15. AĀ fluffy jacketĀ that suits literally every outing. Camping ā
running errands ā
making an incognito visit to the Dunkin' drive-thru in your PJs ā
Ā

Get it from Uniqlo for $39.90Ā (available in sizes XXSāXXL and 10 colors).
16. An oversized crewneck sweatshirt lined with ULTRA comfy double-sided jersey fleece. It also has pockets so you can tuck your hands in or go purse-free on your daily mental health walk (aka trek to Dunkin').
Supesu is a woman-owned small biz that designs dresses, sweaters, tops, and pants with super-soft materials. I own this crewneck in black, and it's one of my go-tos! Since it's so long, I like pairing it with leggings and sneakers for an elevated athleisure look. And, ofc, the pockets are the best part because I can carry my phone, keys, and a small wallet without needing to bring a bag.
Promising review: "I refuse to take it off! Itās the perfect sweatshirt for a lazy day and/or a night out on the town. Itās the perfect size to wear as an oversized sweater but also doubles as a short dress. The pockets are amazing and unique. I have always bought sweatshirts from other brands and never thought about not having pockets, but once you have them, thereās no going back. Not to mention the wildly soft lining which not only lines the entire interior of the sweatshirt but also inside the pockets. Amazing!! I want it all in colors! š Highly recommend!" āJmart
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in sizes 0/2ā20 and in six colors).
17. A chunky striped sweater with voluminous sleeves and an easy fit you can pair with just about anything ā even day-old sweats.
Promising review: "I love this sweater! I saw this last year on an influencer's Instagram, but by the time I checked it out, it had sold out. Glad they restocked! It's soft and so warm. In fact, I work in my home office, which has eastern-facing windows, and it's almost too snuggly in the mornings when the sun is shining. Love. Easy to dress up or down." āAnneĀ
Get it from Amazon forĀ $38.99Ā (available in sizes SāXL and 16 colors).Ā

19. An asymmetric-hem turtleneck you can tuck in up front and let hang loose in the back so it covers your derriere because idk about you, but no matter how much I invest in quality leggings, I still never trust that they're not see-through.
20. A cult-favorite Orolay parka with approx. 45 pockets, a fleece-lined hood, and a midi design that keeps all your bits covered and warm.
Ok so it actually has six pockets but they're all rather sizable. It also has a side zippers which give it a more relaxed fit ā especially when sitting.
Promising review: "This coat is no joke. The coldest temperature I tested it out was 9 degrees and I did not feel like I was freezing at all! I even tried to wear with just a T-shirt, no sweaters/layers underneath, to see if I felt cold...nothing. No cold! Boomshakalaka! It's also so stylish, roomy, has a thousand pockets (goodbye purse!) and looks different from all the rest out there." āZhure

22. A pair of fleece-lined leggings ready for winter's wrath. The much-loved bottoms have a wide waistband that stays in place and they're made from a moisture-wicking fabric that's certain to keep ya nice and cozy.
Promising review: "These are by far my favorite legging that I own! I initially bought the unlined version about a year ago and decided to get these fleece lined leggings to wear under dresses at work. They are thick enough to wear on their own without being see-through, and they are warm enough to wear as the weather gets cold. They are my go-to for running errands on the weekend and the material looks so nice. l wouldn't say that its shiny, but the material looks more like a compression/athletic material than the thin, cottony leggings you get for cheap. Love, love, love them! I would absolutely buy again!" āAndrea
Get them from Amazon for $30.99+Ā (available in sizes XSā6XL, three styles, and 25 colors).
23. A faux-shearling pullover that's even more comfortable than your go-to PJs. The lapel collar is not only stylish, but protects against (what feels like) gale force winds.
Promising review: "Well, as soon as I took this sweater out of the box, my toddler grabbed it and wouldnāt give it back because he assumed it was a blanket for him. Update: Son dropped it to grab a cookie I bribed him with so I got to try it on. He then tackled me and has been cuddling ever since. Let it be known that itās a very warm sweater, obviously the softest thing ever created, and Iām trapped in it under my kid in a 70-degree house. Highly recommend." āKristy Noble
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in women's sizes SāXL and 17 colors).
24. A fuzzy cropped cardiganĀ if you're also looking for a way to transition your tank tops into winter-appropriate outfits.Ā
Promising review: "This sweater is so soft and fits great. I got so many compliments on it. Itās warm enough to wear alone or with a shirt underneath on colder days. Itās definitely worth getting. Iāll probably be buying it in different colors." āKathy
Get it from Amazon for $27.19Ā (available in sizes SāXL and 17 colors and patterns).
25. AĀ quilted fleece pullover that looks like it could be from The North Face or Patagonia but rings up for less than 40 bucks. š

Promising review: "I live along the coast of Oregon and freeze most of the time either with northern winds or massive storm systems. That said, it's paramount that I have clothes that keep me warm.

Promising review: "The dolman quilted knit jacket was an instant keeper ā I cut off the tag and wore it the next day!
