1. A bodysuit turtleneck for always a) having an easy solution to any unexpected ~untucking~ throughout the day and b) living a comfy life despite wearing something other than your favorite sweater.
Promising review: "My snakeskin-print bodysuit is hands-down the best bodysuit EVER. The mock neck is a detail I tend to love, and this one doesn’t disappoint. The real win, though, is the material; it is so soft and has the perfect amount of stretch. It’s incredibly comfortable aaaaand it’s only $12!" —Michele The Beauty Snitch
Get it from Amazon for $7.38+ (available in sizes S–XL and 10 patterns).
2. An oversized cotton flannel, because looking ~cool~ has never felt so cuddly. Warning: you may spend your whole work day snuggling with this top.
Promising review: "For reference, I'm 5'6" and 125lbs. I bought this top in a small over the holidays thinking it would be perfect for Christmas. It was! I love the green double lines all around and it looks AMAZING in jeans OF ANY COLOR. I love how soft it is and it's pretty thick so it keeps me warm on cool days without a sweater. It's also a perfect loose fit without being too baggy." —Venna

Get it from Boohoo for $12.50 (originally $25; available in sizes 12–24 and two colors).
5. A jersey turtleneck to keep an incredibly comfy and *justtt* light enough staple on heavy rotation all darn season. Wear it under a blazer, with a layer-able dress, over your go-to jeans, WHATEVER. There's nothing this won't make look a little extra dressy.
Promising review: "I fell in love with this jersey. It is so silky — there is no friction when worn layered. I bought one to see if I would like it and and today I ordered eight more. Check out the prices! For me, I bought them mainly to wear this winter with something cozy over them. In the past I have spent up to $50 on jerseys not even this soft. These are well-made." —Cheyenne

Get it from Free People for $68 (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors).

Promising review: "This is a very nice long sleeve top! Did a 5K jog with this tonight without any issues! Did not overheat, the design with back vent is nice. The thumb holes held the sleeves in place. The length is perfect, not too long and not too short. The fabric is very cooling, also! Overall, happy with my purchase." —Joann Pham

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 1X–5X and two colors).

23. An oversized wool-blend button-down, because this'll prove it's actually possible to look fashionable despite the ominous weather forecast. Not to mention this'll go out of style when the sky stops being blue — so never.
It's a ~splurge~, but it's thick, roomy (aka c-o-m-f-y), and the perfect combo of dressy and relaxed. Translation: you'll wear it forever.
Get it from & Other Stories for $149 (available in sizes 0–12 and three colors).
24. A cropped workout top with trendy thumbholes that'll keep you toasty during your outdoor morning exercise routine. I'm no athlete, but it's probably hard to wear sweaters while running.

Andddd it has POCKETS!
Promising review: "Great tunic! I typically wear a 1X / 2X in tops and I purchased this in a 2X. I was pleasantly surprised that it ran a bit larger than I had expected — but after a cool wash cycle and hang dry, I am really diggin' my new shirt. Great to wear with jeans, but not too long that it feels like a dress. Just discovered today after wearing it twice that it has pockets built into the side seams. Bonus!! VERY HAPPY with this purchase!" —Flower0813
Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in sizes S–3XL and three colors)
