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.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this jacket! I wear it all the time and it’s perfect for all seasons and most all occasions. It was definitely a splurge on my end but it was so worth it. Yes it’s stiff at first but more use of it makes it mold to your body. Highly recommend this!" —Kelley

A lot of reviewers advise sizing up!
Promising review: "Love this jacket! I’ve wanted a trucker jacket for some time now and this is perfect.

Great staple and addition to my wardrobe." —Elissa Robinson
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in sizes XS–4X and seven colors).
7. A glamorous pleated button-down set you'd have to shell out 10x as much for at a designer shop. It's light enough to wear while it's still warm out but is also great for layering when it starts getting nippy.

"I’m traveling quite a bit and needed something for the airport that looked more put together. I got the khaki colored set in long sleeve and can I just say WOW! I wasn’t expecting much since clothes online are hit or miss but this is absolutely a hit! The top is slightly cropped but not too much. The pants are super cute and have a jogger ankle fit. The pleat on the front of the pants brings it all together and makes it look very elevated. I’m considering buying it in other colors as well." —Chelsea Burgess
Get it from Amazon for $46.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).
9. A plaid button-down shacket if you simply cannot choose between a shirt and a jacket but know you want to stay warm *and* look fabulous. This genius hybrid was basically made for outdoor exploring on a brisk day!
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!!

Promising review: "My new favorite hat! So cute and goes with so much. Everywhere I go I get compliments on it, and I absolutely love that I didn't have to break the bank to be trendy. This same style of hat from other brands is around $60–$100! I do have a big head, so it is a little snug. Over time, it's loosened up a bit though! Get it for those bad hair days or just to add an extra dose of cute to your outfit." —McKenzie

The inside is a soft velour, it’s well made and durable, and it stretches to fit any size head. I plan to purchase this in additional colors for next winter." —Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in one size and 25 colors).

Diop is a small, Black-owned business that was founded in Detroit in 2018 and makes gorgeous apparel and accessories inspired by the African Diaspora.
Former BuzzFeeder Britt Ross says: "Spoiler alert: I'm OBSESSED with this jacket, and it's gotten me tons of compliments. After an excruciatingly hot summer, I'm so ready for layering weather and this one's perfect for those in-between-temperature days fall is notorious for. When I first got it last year, I wore it outside on a wet, drizzly day, and was pleasantly surprised to find it kept me completely dry! The adjustable hood stayed put, even when things got a little windy, meaning my hair — which usually frizzes up just at the sight of water — looked exactly the way it did when I left the house. Oh, and don't get me started on those gorgeous prints — I'm tempted to move to the rainy Pacific Northwest just so I can justify getting another one. Note that it's a little oversized, so I'd consider sizing down if you're in between!"
Get it from Diop for $69 (originally $79; available in sizes S–XXL and four prints).
15. An oversized fuzzy jacket so you can look your best while feeling like you're wearing a warm, cuddly teddy bear instead of a regular ol' jacket!

Get it from Amazon for $48.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 30 styles/colors).
16. A striking bodycon gingham dress if your style can best be described as "business chic." Finish the look with a cardigan or blazer and your fave pair of heels or boots!
Promising review: "This dress was very well-made, I did not find any flaws, the quality seemed very good. One thing I was surprised about, was the way the pattern matched in the seam work, you seldom find that anymore in clothing. I was quite impressed to find a reasonably priced dress, with top quality material matching. I would have expected this quality to be at an upscale boutique." —M
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and 10 prints — not all styles available in all sizes).
17. A form-fitting jumpsuit for a one-and-done ensemble that's always ready to serve up some major looks. It'll look ~flawless~ paired with your favorite puffer jacket or vest, too.
Just note that you might want to choose your undergarments wisely, as reviewers say it's made of a thinner material.
Promising review: "I love this one-piece! It’s comfortable enough to just throw on and go, yet cute enough to dress up for a night out. I ordered black and it fits like a glove. ☺️ It has a lot of stretch to it. I will be ordering more colors." —Quadirah
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 15 designs).
18. An unbelievably comfy linen sweater with a loose fit and wide sleeves that you'll probably want to live in for the foreseeable future due to the cuddly factor being OFF the charts.

20. Or these sleek thermal leggings lined with thick fleece to warm you up when the temps drop *without* putting a damper on the super chic outfit you planned weeks ago!
Promising review: "The reviewer who says 'it's like wearing kittens on your legs' is spot on. Kittens, small teddy bears, whatever you want to call it — these leggings aren't lined with fleece — it's low-pile, stretchy faux fur. I went out to a concert on a miserably cold and windy February evening, with these leggings under a skirt. I'm terribly cold-blooded, and even I felt like, 'COME ON, WIND, BRING IT ON.' There's one potential negative: the seams around the crotch and butt are obvious. " —Nouvelle Héloïse
Get them from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 12 colors and styles, as well as packs of two).
21. A luxe-looking asymmetric-hem turtleneck you can wear with leggings OR your go-to pair of blue jeans. It's so dang versatile, no one will have any idea how many times you've worn it.
22. Or, a more fitted turtleneck because we all know it's not officially cold-weather season until you've worn a top like this *at least* once.
23. OR a cropped turtleneck, which looks like it belongs on a NYFW runway with all its stunning details. Tbh, how could you not keep wearing it?
24. A ~dynamite~ quilted vegan leather jacket with snap buttons if you adore the bomber jacket look — this will round out any ensemble while also keeping you plenty warm, so you can't go wrong.
Z Supply is a woman-owned small business creating truly the best basics on the planet.
Promising review: "Been looking for a leather-look jacket but motos, blazers, shacket styles I was finding were all so big and stiff. This jacket, however, adds a touch of edge and is super soft and comfortable. Bought a M, might have been able to wear a S, but the M ensures a sweater will fit underneath." — Tina S.
Get it from Z Supply for $99 (available in sizes XS–XL).
25. An off-the-shoulder maxi sweater dress so you can achieve your cool-weather dreams of serving major looks while somehow feeling like you're wearing a snuggly blanket.
Get it from Eloquii for $109.95 (available in sizes 14–32).
26. A lovely off-shoulder jumpsuit, aka a walking compliment magnet. It's got long sleeves *and* pants for warmth, so you'll be able to wear it well into next year!
Promising review: "If you want to feel like you’re wearing your favorite comfy PJs but look like a million bucks while you go shopping or to dinner, then buy it. I loved this, my boyfriend loved this, random strangers loved this. Material is soft, stretchy, and looks expensive." —Kristen Bogue
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 17 colors).
27. Or a glorious velvet jumpsuit perfect for days that never seem to end and you just know you'll be wearing the same thing for hours and hours. When you're feelin' *and* lookin' this good, that's never an issue.

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

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 $48.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 23 colors).
33. A super soft pullover hoodie dress so you can have the best of both worlds instead of having to choose between your two favorite things. It's long enough to wear by itself or you pair it with leggings when it's cold!
Promising review: "I love this thing! This was my second one and I sized down even more on this one. The other was a bit on the larger side. This one fit perfectly but still a little oversized. I always get compliments when I wear this and it is so comfy. I typically wear it with jeans and sneakers for an athleisure look. It definitely runs large, though." —RJackson
Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 14 colors).

35. A set of cute and cozy wool blend socks to keep your footsies happy all throughout fall *and* winter, because frozen toes are 100% not it.
Promising review: “First let me say, I am a sock person in the wintertime, hardcore. While socks do not touch my feet during the summer months, I have issues with anemia and once the snow begins to fall, my poor toes get cold rather quickly. I happened to grab these on a lightning deal and they are FANTASTIC! Soft, warm, and the patterns are adorable! These shall be my go-to winter socks for years to come.” —Mombie
Get a set of four pairs from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sets of four or three and 15 styles).

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
