Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A zip-front corduroy skirt that basically pairs with any old top in your closet. A chunky knit? ✔️ A sheer blouse? ✔️ A crisp white tee? ✔️ ✔️ That way, you can compensate up top if the temperatures soar or fall.
2. An exceptionally soft cashmere sweater you can turn to on days when you feel like putting zero effort into your outfit but you still want to look perfectly pulled together.
3. An oversized jean jacket that I won't even waste your time explaining. You and I both KNOW there's nothing more versatile.
4. A balloon sleeve blouse with an exaggerated collar that screams cottagecore/berries and cream in the best way possible.
5. A slip-on clog with serious '70s flair if your style icon has always been (and will always be) Donna Pinciotti.
6. A pair of 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.
7. An oversized plaid peacoat you can throw on over anything and immediately look like an incognito celeb — especially if you throw sunglasses and a beanie into the mix.
8. A pair of Dr. Martens Chelseas which can not only keep up with daily wear for more than a decade (I attest to this!) but also add some serious edge to your silk midi skirt + sweater combo.
9. A faux-fur purse that has enough room for your phone, wallet, and keys, and will resurface treasured memories of your favorite pillow pet.
10. 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."
11. A crisscross backless sweater that's all business in the front but party in the back because despite the fact that you only wear neutrals, you're never one to be boring.
12. A felt Free People hat because newsflash: Anyone can be a hat person!! All you've gotta do is pop it on your head and that's it! Fashion!
13. A trendy oversized Reebok sweatshirt you can wear on early morning runs to Starbucks. This should be a time when you don't have to worry about what you look like, but somehow you ALWAYS run into someone you know, so cozy meets stylish is a winning combination.
14. 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.
15. A handful of chunky claw clips because the youngins all over TikTok are wearing them and for some reason, you've been swayed by this. ("You" being me, ofc.)
16. A four-in-one Universal Standard puffer with a removable hood and bottom so you can skate through late fall and the freezing winter temps without the need for more than one coat.
17. A cropped mock turtleneck brami — AKA a two-in-one bra + cami — so you can ditch your usual underwire but still get alllll the support you need.
18. A mock-neck tunic sweater with cuffed sleeves and a slouchy fit if you love clothes that swallow you up but in a stylish way.
19. A pair of dainty huggie hoops *so* lightweight and comfortable, you won't even have to take them off when you sleep or chat away on your phone for hours.
20. 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!
21. A cowl-neck slip dress — woven from deliciously stretchy satin — for those looking to exude serious main character energy but with little added effort. Basically just put it on your body and go. 👍
22. A ginormous scrunchie from Jane Dottie Vintage that'll have you postponing wash day because your messy bun has never looked better. If turning limp or greasy locks into a compliment-magnet isn't a win, I don't know what is!
23. A pack of mesh ankle socks you can pair with all of your lug-sole loafers and '90s-esque Mary Janes. If anyone tries to tell you sandals + socks are a fashion faux pas, just show them these très chic bebes.
24. A corduroy button-down that'll help you nail that "oh, this? I just threw it on" look that all your favorite stars have down. (I'm looking at you, Dakota Johnson.)
25. 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.)
26. 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.
27. 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.
28. A pair of corduroy Madewell pants with a gathered elastic waist that gives you an excellent range of motion. You never know when you're gonna want to show off how well you can do the worm, after all.
29. An oversized plaid shacket that 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!
30. Or an even longer plaid shacket because it's FINALLY the season for lots of layers and there's no stopping you now.
31. 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!
32. 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.
33. A pair of '90s-inspired chunky 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!
34. 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.
35. 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.
36. 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.
37. A pair of faux-leather trousers that fit more like PJ pants and less like a wet suit. No matter how big your lunch, you won't have to worry about splitting a seam or finding scissors so you can cut your way to freedom.
38. A pair of Converse Run Star Hikes with futuristic details like a two-tone exaggerated outsole, rounded heel, and chunky platform that'll lend you a few extra inches.
39. A Reformation wool miniskirt if you're ready to roll through fall without ever pulling on a pair of jeans. Solved that for ya.
40. 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.
41. An oversized sweater-vest that is the *choice* grandma/grandpa knit of 2021. Throw it on over a crisp button-down and you're in business, baby.
42. An AllSaints leather jacket with classic lapels and simple gunmetal finishings that make it a cinch to style. Like, seriously — throw it on over basically anything.
43. Or — if you're looking for something a lil' more affordable — a faux-suede moto jacket that 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!
44. A slouchy buckle sweater if your go-to fall fashion is oversized knits but you're looking for something with a twist.
45. A quilted Free People jacket that'll allow you to roll through your day as if you never got out of bed. (AKA my absolute dream.)
46. A thick, textured cardigan with voluminous sleeves and an easy fit you can pair with just about anything — even day-old sweats.
47. And a pair of reliable black skinny jeans so easy to style, you can basically get dressed in the dark.
Your elder millennial friend when you show up in an outfit you saw a 17-year-old TikToker wearing on your FYP:
