Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A casual shift dress that really gives you a blank slate to build off of. Pair it with your chunkiest lug-sole boots, wide-brim felt hat, croc-embossed faux-leather crossbody — you name it.
2. Some budget-friendly high-waisted leggings if you've sworn off jeans and any other bottoms without at least 5% spandex.
Promising review: "If you’re on the fence about buying these leggings, DO IT. I bought a black pair (plus size) to see how they’d fit and let me tell you! I have wide hips, big thighs, and a large behind, and these leggings fit perfectly! Even better, THEY ARE NOT SEE THROUGH!! I’ve *never* found leggings that weren’t sheer when I bent over before! I bought eight more in different colors and they all are the same quality! I love them so much that over a year later I bought two more black pairs!! I swear I wear these to work three times a week, at least. I love them!!" —hali howard
Get them from Amazon for $11.19+ (available in standard and plus sizes, three lengths, and 25 colors/patterns).
3. A tie-waist, lantern-sleeve dress with a simple silhouette made more exciting by an adjustable tie. Slip on some platform sneakers or thigh-high suede boots and you're all done, bb!
Promising reviews: "This dress is everything, buy it now. You can dress it up or down! I'm bringing it to Nashville with me this week and just ordered it in multiple other colors for my trip!" —Dawn
"I absolutely love this dress. It fits so well — a little short but I have long legs. I wore it with sandals the first time but it will look great with heels or even knee-high boots in the fall/winter. The material is not the softest but I wouldn't say it is scratchy or anything. Will probably order in several more colors!" —Snum Snum
Get it from Amazon for $38.89 (available in sizes S–XL and in 22 colors).
4. A pair of Levi's Ribcage jeans that go where no low-rise jeans have ever gone before — up, up, up past your bellybutton.
Promising review: "Bought these for both my daughter and I, and they look great on both of us!!! They’re extremely comfortable and they stretch just enough. The quality is exactly what you expect from Levi’s. We purchased three pairs in total and plan on purchasing more in other colors." —Lulu Herrera
Get them from Amazon for $36.94+ (available in sizes 22–32 Standard and 36–44 Plus and in 18 washes).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can give these a spin before you buy them!
5. Or a pair of knit Amazon Essentials jeggings because they've accumulated thousands of 5-star reviews — almost all of which unanimously state they feel like leggings but look like jeans.
Promising review: "I love, love, love these pants. I have them in the black and the dark blue wash. They go with everything and are so comfortable that I want to wear them every day! I usually wear premium denim but I am reaching for these now. The price is definitely right at $20. They look good with boots, flip-flops, or tennis shoes. If you’re on the fence, get these." —DM Lover
Get them from Amazon for $14.57+ (available in sizes XS–XXL in regular, and long and eight colors).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can give these a spin before you buy them!
6. A pair of relaxed linen overalls with two mega pockets and a relaxed silhouette that says: "adult onesie, but make it fashion."
Promising review: "I have bought four of these, now, in different colors. I originally thought I might feel frumpy, but I wanted something loose-fitting to allow air-flow in the summer heat. I never fail to receive a compliment when wearing these out and about. They are very cute jumpers! For the price, the fit, and the quality, they're worth buying. The material seems to be linen which is very breathable, but is thick enough that I don't worry about it being see-through. I highly recommend these to anyone, any size!" —M. morson
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 19 colors/prints).
7. A rib-knit skirt you can wear at your natural waist or hike up for a shorter silhouette. It's like getting two skirts in one!
Promising review: "Love this skirt so much, I bought it in four colors. All are true to the photo. The slit is perfect making it easy to walk, but not too high. I wear the slit in the back. On one of the skirts the tag was on the wrong side and the other three it was where the slit was, so I know you can wear it either way. The material is the perfect thickness for all year and is not see-through. These are a great staple to have." —Lauren Winn
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in seven colors).
8. 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.
Promising reviews: "I own two different colors of this sweater. They are my favorites!" —Kim H Townsel
"To say I am obsessed is an understatement!!! Everywhere I go, I get compliments on this sweater! It’s so soft and not too thick, so it’s perfect for warmer places because I can get that fall feeling without sweating. It’s a beautiful orange and looks more expensive in person than it is! Now I want to order all the colors LOL." —Stephanie Mason
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 34 colors/patterns; clip the coupon for 25% off this price!).
9. Or a crisscross backless sweater that's all business in the front but party in the back because you're never one to be boring.
Promising review: "Love, love, love it!!! Finally a piece of clothing that actually looks just like the picture and is exactly as described! Super cute and versatile. Can be worn boat neck style, off the shoulder, or slouching off one shoulder. Super cute and not boxy at all. Sizing chart is spot on. Loved the sweater so much, I bought three other colors. Definitely a must for your wardrobe!" —MMA2020
Get it from Amazon for $36.95+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 66 colors).
10. A pair of high-rise tapered pants that are office-appropriate, but feel *just* like your favorite sweats. My colleague who "avoid pants like the plague" (her words!) is even a big fan.
Promising review: "I LOVE these pants. Every time they bring them back I have to get one in every style. They are stretchy, good ankle length and great to wear to work or casual." —CeCe64
Get them from Target for $25 (available in sizes XS–4X and in six colors/styles).

11. A casual blazer with a classic collar and lapel you can layer over a button up for an interview or over a band tee for the photo shoot you scheduled with your BFF, 'cause you need new pics for LinkedIn and your dating profile.
Promising review: "I can’t stop talking about how much I love this blazer. All of my friends ask me where I got this and I am so obsessed with it that I bought it in two colors. So comfy. Plenty of space to move. It’s the BEST. And the best price for the quality." —Lara Winkler
Get it from Amazon for $46.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 34 colors/patterns).
12. A tie-front jumper that comes in 11 different colors so you can wear one every day of the week and no one will be the wiser.
The V-neck sweater has loose batwing sleeves that can be worn down or pushed up and the tie waist can be adjusted to your liking.
Promising review: "Looove this top! I paired this top with faux-leather leggings and knee-high boots while visiting Cleveland, Ohio. I got so many compliments, so now I have the white and the dark brown, too. I’ll grab a few other colors for winter. The sizes are spot on with the size chart. It was perfect." —Danielle B.
Get it from Amazon for $42.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 12 colors).
13. Some extra-wide-leg darted palazzo pants that 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: "These are so comfortable and I receive so many compliments every time I wear them. As a matter of fact, I like them so much, I bought another pair just in a different color. I’m also going to get a third pair in a different color. If you’re asking me 'should I buy?' YES!" —Frequent Buyer
Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X and 31 colors and patterns).
14. 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."
Okay so the reviewer in question here is... me lol. I ~personally~ own this in four colors. 🙈 But hear me out! I got it on sale during Prime Day and it's just SUCH a closet staple. I have it in coffee bean, black, tortoiseshell, and dark olive — each of which pairs perfectly with all the neutral tops in my closet. The quality is amazing and I really like the hidden elastic waist (it's only visible from the inside — so the outside silhouette is smooth and expensive-looking) and midi length which is not only trending, but something that I don't think will ever go out of style. I pair mine with chunky sweaters and sneakers or booties depending on how much walking my day includes and they're honestly just such an effortless way to look really put together!
Promising review: "Wow I honestly had low expectations, but love this skirt! It became a staple in my closet and I’m not one to wear colors or many prints. So silky and smooth, so comfy. Got so many compliments. The band doesn’t dig in and doesn’t look awkward. I can’t wait to get it in different colors." —Daria Z.
Get it from Amazon for $44.90+ (available in sizes XXS—3X and in 24 colors/ patterns).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime, you can give this a spin before you buy it!
15. Or a similar high-waisted midi skirt but with a leg slit you can pop your thigh out of for a lil' sun (or tuck it away under tights when it's chilly).
Promising review: "This skirt is absolutely beautiful. I bought it to wear to work but it can easily be work just about for any occasion!! Dress it up or Dress it down. I also bought it in two more colors. Wear with boots, sneakers, heels, or flats — either way it's perfect. Thin material but not see through. The plain black one is kind of a shiny material different from the other two. I'm thinking to wear this one for the holidays with a red sweater or winter white!! Purchase this and you wont be sorry you did and besides, it's trending :)" —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 34 colors/prints).
16. A high-neck chiffon blouse that comes in such a variety of vibrant prints, no one will even be able to detect that it's literally the only shirt in your closet.
Promising review: "I ordered the dark green floral pattern first, and loved it so much I got the cheetah print one! Comfortable fit that is versatile and perfect for work. I’ve paired the tops untucked with ankle-length pixie pants, and also tucked in with a high wasted skirt. Be warned — the material has no give! With tops like these, I typically get a large to ensure it fits over my broad (probably broader than average) shoulders. The large in this top was just right for me." —Carly P
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in 34 patterns).
17. 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!
Promising reviews: "Great colors! I have this shacket in a few colors and am very happy with my purchases!" —polly
"So much cuter than I expected! It fits loose and boxy, as you’d expect a jacket to be. Layers over tees great. The fabric is thicker than a flannel, but still very soft. Great construction and quality. Shipped fast, too!" —Michelle Roetman
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 12 colors; clip the coupon for 15% off this price!).
18. Or an even longer plaid shacket because it's FINALLY the season for lots of layers and there's no stopping you now.
Promising reviews: "I love the length of this coat because it will keep me warm on the fall days. Already purchased another one in a different color. Can't wait to wear them more often!" —Dianne Terrault
"I almost spent $90 at Zara for something similar... Glad I didn’t because this fits and looks amazing and it's good quality." —Amanda D.
Get it from Amazon for $44.98 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in nine colors).
19. A cushy quilted jacket that'll allow you to roll through your day as if you never got out of bed. (AKA my absolute dream.)
Promising review: "The dolman quilted knit jacket was an instant keeper — I cut off the tag and wore it the next day! I love the oversized, cozy feel but what sealed the deal was I fell in love with the color — saltwater khaki — a gorgeous dusty blue with beige undertones. I also got a black one, because everyone needs this jacket in black! Happy Mother's Day to me!" —MissMusubi
Get it from Free People for $198 (available in sizes XS–XL and in seven colors).
20. A corduroy button-down sure to 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.)
Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this shirt. I have it in light brown, beige, black, and pink. I’ll be ordering more colors. It’s the perfect oversized fit. It’s not heavy but not thin. The fabric breathes so it’s not hot. It’s not stiff at all, very comfy. If you’re thinking about it, BUY it." —Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $35.98+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in 40 colors).
21. 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.
This is definitely the type of thing you buy in multiple colors but whether you choose to gift those too or keep them for yourself is your business!
Promising review: "I LOVE this coat. I get so many compliments on it. It is so warm and comfortable. I wore it in Chicago in 10-degree weather and walked for hours and never even got a chill. I am back to purchase it in more colors." —lisa cicciarelli
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 25 colors/patterns).
22. A smocked flare dress with a tiered skirt that'll have you twirling in three...two...one...yup, there ya go!
Promising review: "I challenge you to buy just one of these once you've got it and tried it on. I receive compliments wherever I wear it. It's light and airy. It's a perfect fit. It just meets the ground and is not too long on me at all, even in flats. I have bought two colors and when the olive one is back in stock in my size, I will be buying that also." —Proud Mommy
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 15 colors/prints).
23. A faux suede moto jacket you can *literally* wear with anything. There was a time when my mom told me to stop using the word literally 'cause I said it every two seconds, but mom, I swear it's justified in this case!
Promising review: "I could've gone one size smaller if I wanted it more fitted but I like a loose feel. I love the buttery soft material and feel like a runway model in this jacket... I get so many compliments every time I wear it! I now have brown, burgundy, rose pink, and I can't wait to get the dark spotted one too!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $53.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in three colors; clip the coupon for 10% off!).
24. A lantern-sleeve top with a loose, oversized fit that makes it both exceptionally comfy and versatile because if you're dropping money on multiples, it better check both of those boxes.
Promising review: "First got the black sweater but then ended up getting the red and green one too. Looks absolutely fantastic tucked into a high-waisted skirt. I'll definitely scoop up any new colors they release. I've washed and dried 'em a lot with absolutely no issues. They're high quality for sure and they hold up really well. Very easy to dress up or down and really warm for the winter. I get compliments on them constantly. Completely worth buying, they're a staple in my wardrobe now." —Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in nine colors).
25. A turtleneck layering sweater if you like wearing your tank tops and dresses year-round and just need a way to make them winter-friendly.
Promising review: "High-fashion conversation starter! Turns a basic tank and jeans into a perfectly styled outfit. Received numerous compliments including from my hard-to-please boyfriend. Many Eloquii shirts are too short for my long arms — but this sweater has more generous length in the arms. Originally purchased the black, will be purchasing the other two colors." —Amber B.
Get it from Eloquii for $29 (originally $69.50; available in sizes 14/16–26/28 and in five colors).
26. A pair of fleece-lined joggers that 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 colors and I will purchase again." —Spotted Mermaid
Get it from Amazon $35.09+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 10 colors).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime, you can give these a spin before you buy them!
27. 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." —Reading for Knowledge
Get it from Amazon for $40.69+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 38 colors/prints).
28. An oversized, flame-forward knit if Guy Fieri is not only your comfort TV of choice (catch me watching Guy's Grocery Games Monday through Friday whilst I work), but also your personal style icon.
Promising reviews: "I have this in four colors lol. It’s a nice thick weave and it hasn’t fallen apart. I purchased my first one over a year and a half ago, wore it almost every day for like six months, and it’s still in perfect condition. No problems with machine washing and it’s not itchy or anything." —Erin
"I was a little hesitant because it was so cheap but NO this sweater is so comfy and warm and I'm L I V I N G." —Matthew Pauletich
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in one size fits some and in six colors).
29. A fuzzy three-piece loungewear set that's sure to pass for Skims but honor your TJ Maxx budget.
Promising review: "My hubby bought me these PJs and after I got the first set he ordered two more sets in different colors. They are incredibly comfortable and cozy. It feels like a really good soft used terry cloth towel. They are amazing! They are warm — a little thinner than the pic looks like but still incredibly cozy. The jacket that comes with it is very oversized and thicker than the PJs themselves. So again, VERY COZY!!! I’ll probably end up with one in every color. I love them so much!!!" —Stacy Clayton
Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $53.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 31 colors).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can give these a spin before you buy them!

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XXS–3XL and in 35 colors).
31. 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 different colors." —Ynv-Jazz-E
Get it. from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes S–3X and 14 colors)
32. A cropped sweater with leopard sleeves if you love yourself some animal print but not in a Carole Baskin way.
Promising review: "Love this sweater so much I bought another color! Went up a size from my normal size and it fits well. Sleeves are almost short but still look perfect. I am soooo happy with this purchase. It’s such a different sweater from anything I’ve seen and so much fun to wear. It’s a perfect length, too. The green is beautiful. It’s not as emerald as the picture suggests but it’s still really pretty." —Kate G.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in nine colors).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can give these a spin before you buy them!
33. 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 40 bucks.
Promising review: "This is the best outfit. So cute and simple. Easy to dress up or dress down. I loved it so much that I bought it again in two other colors." —Mandy Wright
Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 21 colors).

Get it from Amazon for $46.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).
35. A quilted fleece pullover that looks like it could be from The North Face or Patagonia but rings up for less than 40 bucks. 😍
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. This fleece pull over is SUPER warm. It's really soft and I love wearing it most days. I've gotten two different colors so far and might even go for a third!" —April SJC
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 26 colors).
36. And an oversized sweater-vest which is the *choice* grandma/grandpa knit of the season. Throw it on over a crisp button-down and you're in business, baby.
You watching the Amazon listing for your new fave sweater to see if it'll be released in even more colors:
