Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.
1. A knit skirt so comfy and cute, you'll probably forget that you're not wearing sweatpants. It has a stretchy material and completes whatever fall OOTD you're wearing — even if that's just a T-shirt, faux leather jacket, and some sneakers.
Another great feature of this skirt is that you can wear it high or low. It can be easily adjusted to hit above your knees or go to your calves, making it great for different types of shoes (booties, flats, etc.).
Promising reviews: "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
"Love the fit of this skirt! Material is soft and stretchy and the ribbed pattern is very cute. The color is beautiful as well." —Amylia Coover
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 23 colors).
2. Or a silky midi skirt that'll pair well with a cropped sweater or short sleeve blouse. No one will believe you spent less than $50 for this chic piece of clothing that *also* has a comfy elastic waist.
Promising review: "EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY. I am so pleased with this skirt that I’ve now ordered three. The pink is almost a bright fuchsia and I feel super Elle Woods in it. The storm color is a soft greige (gray/beige) and looks stunning at work. Overall, INCREDIBLE purchases." —Hutson Family
Get it from Amazon for $44.90 (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 21 colors and patterns).
3. A chunky-knit sweater so cozy for the autumn season and beyond. Whether you're headed to a pumpkin patch or a salon appointment, this wardrobe staple has stylish batwing sleeves and goes well with midi skirts, jeans, and leggings.
Promising review: "To say I am obsessed is an understatement! Everywhere I go, I get compliments on this sweater! It’s so soft and is 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 33 colors).
Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe, you can try this piece out before you buy it!
4. A long-sleeve maxi dress guaranteed to score you so many compliments when autumn hits. In addition to its stylish A-line shape, it has a wow-worthy fuchsia shade that'll brighten up any pair of boots, mules, or heels.
Rebdolls is a Latine-owned fashion brand founded by Grisel Paula. They're known for their inclusive sizing and gorgeous wardrobe staples that span from bodysuits to dresses to wide-leg trousers.
Pre-order it from Rebdolls for $64.90 (available in sizes S–5X and expected to ship on or before Sept. 27).
5. Cult-favorite Abercrombie '90s Ultra High Rise Straight Jeans you'll probably want to live in when the seasons change. If you still like skinny jeans but aren't fully ready to take the leap with wide leg styles, this will be the perf in-between fit!
Here's what BuzzFeeder Abby Kass has to say about these jeans: "After two years of only wearing jeans a handful of times, I knew it was time to invest in a great pair. I had heard SO much about these jeans on TikTok and decided to see what the hype was all about. And let me tell you, they are SO worth it. I ended up getting the curve style (because it has 2 extra inches and fit my waist better), and I love how these jeans look. They're a classic style you can really wear with anything. I've only had them for a couple of weeks, and I've worn them in both casual and dressier settings. I've already gone back to get a second pair in black. That's how good these are. These do sell out fast, so don't delay if you want to add these to your closet."
Promising review: "Oh, these jeans are IT. I bought this specific style after seeing them on TikTok and am legitimately obsessed. I’m 5’9", around 170 lbs, with a more curvy and muscular bottom half. I originally bought longs with the hope to cut the bottoms for a more raw hem, but the knee holes were wayyyy too low on my shins, so I returned for the regulars, and they are PERFECT. A little tight with a real jean feel, but after wearing them for an hour or two, they are amazing. BUY THEM." —Abercrombie Customer
Get them from Abercrombie & Fitch for $90 (available in sizes 23–37, extra short, short, regular, long, and extra-long lengths, 20 washes, and in a curve style).
6. A tie-waist deep V-neck dress to invest in for fall date nights and theater trips. You'll be so glad you didn't wear a sleeveless maxi if the weather is a little chilly in the evening and you need to get dressed up!
Promising review: "I wasn’t expecting to love this dress as much as I do. The long sleeves are sheer and perfect for fall. I wore it to a wedding with a cocktail attire dress code and this was perfect for it. I got a lot of compliments." —samantha tessier
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 20 colors).
7. A pair of Chelsea ankle boots with a lug-sole design and chunky block heel that'll be your go-to fall shoe. They're comfortable and will ~elevate~ any cozy sweater and jeans ensemble.
Promising reviews: "Fit great, looks cute. Even wore them on a few-mile walk and didn’t get blisters" —Laurence Grante III
"These boots fit perfectly. The quality is great so far and they are super comfy. GET these for fall!!" —Bailey Earp
Get them from Amazon for $47.98+ (available in shoe sizes 5–11 and in 20 colors).
Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe, you can try this piece out before you buy it!
8. An off-the-shoulder satin bodysuit for your next night out — it's not summer anymore, but you can still rock this stunner with a black pair of pants or jeans all fall long.
Promising review: "I love this bodysuit! I got so many compliments and no one believed it was from Amazon! It runs true to size and the blue was absolutely STUNNING! Four of my friends bought it right after I sent them the link! I don’t think it could be any more gorgeous and I’m excited to wear it again!!" —Kierra Scott
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in nine colors).
9. A Levi's denim jacket because it's fall and you need outerwear that'll help keep you warm without making you sweat too much. It has a lightweight Sherpa lining that'll be *chef's kiss* amazing for breezy days and the summer tees and tanks you don't want to retire yet.
Promising review: "This jacket is amazing. It is so comfortable and looks cute with every outfit! The sherpa lining is on the front and back torso plus the neck, and the sleeves have a different soft lining. Easy, comfortable, and cute!" —Eileen Eisen-Cohen
Get it from Amazon for $40.15+ (available in sizes XS–4X and in seven colors).
Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe, you can try this piece out before you buy it!
10. An oversized houndstooth knitted sweater-vest that gives major "I'm sitting in a cozy coffee shop corner and drinking a latte" vibes. This autumn staple will look so good with a button-down shirt, a mock-neck top, or a semi-sheer blouse.
Some reviewers suggested sizing up if you prefer a roomer fit for layering.
Promising review: "I love this vest! It gives me a total vintage look. The sweater itself is already oversized, but I wanted a looser fit, so I went a size bigger, and I am happy with how it fits. I'm really thinking of getting more colors!" —Levi
Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in sizes S–L and in 19 colors).
11. A JW Pei Gabbi handbag to stash all your essentials in while you're out and about on a fall day. Made with vegan leather, this beauty has a scrunched handle, an interior compartment that'll hold your wallet, keys, and phone, plus comes in so many cool colors (like the vibrant orange below).
JW Pei is a husband-and-wife-founded accessories brand based in Los Angeles. They sell minimalist handbags and shoes made with sustainable vegan materials.
BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd loves this small accessory and said: "When I started seeing this new 'it bag' all over Instagram, I knew I had to have it. What shocked me was the fact that it's less than $100! The quality is amazing — the vegan leather is sturdy, it has a nice faux suede lining, and the magnetic closure actually stays closed. The adorable 'scrunchie' design is such a great way to jazz up an outfit. Plus, it's a great size for the necessities like my phone, wallet, keys, mask, and lip gloss. I definitely plan on buying more colors!"
Get it from JW Pei for $89 (available in 14 colors) or Amazon for $79 (available in 14 colors).
12. A bodycon pencil dress that'll be a great LBD if you're going into the office and have a dinner or happy hour to attend later on. Another bonus? It's also available in other autumnal hues in case you need more outfit options.
Promising review: "I love this dress. Simple, classy, and professional. It can be worn with a nice necklace to spruce it up, and flats and/or pumps. The material is also versatile enough so that it can be worn year round; all you need is a pair of stockings or tights, but the dress will work either way. I plan to order more colors." —LadyLestat
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes L–5XL and in 10 colors).
13. A corduroy button-down to solve the dilemma of, "it's too hot to wear a full-on coat BUT too cold to wear nothing at all." Layer it over a T-shirt or bodysuit and you'll be all set for apple picking and more fall adventures.
Check out a TikTok of the corduroy shacket.
Promising review: "I can't even begin to count how many compliments I've gotten while wearing this shirt! It's the perfect staple piece for your fall/winter wardrobe. It's oversized which is exactly what I wanted, comfy, and the perfect layering piece!" —Nicole

Promising reviews: "If you've been hesitant about whether or not to buy these, then this is your official sign to just do it!! I kept these in my 'saved for later' cart for nearly a year before finally deciding to take the leap, and oh my GOSH, I am so glad I did! This is officially my favorite pair of overalls and absolutely perfect for fall. They're so comfortable, and I most certainly will be ordering more in other colors. So, if you're looking to unleash your inner painter/gardener, then this is the perfect outfit for you! :D" —Nathan R. Ford
"I am literally obsessed with these! I have been wanting to order overalls for a couple of years now. I actually bought it as my lounging outfit. I wanted something comfortable but cute so I’m not in sweats all day. Thinking about getting a couple of other colors. I would totally wear these out and about." —WamQQk
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and in 21 colors/patterns).
15. A mock neck bodysuit just begging to be part of your wardrobe. It has long sleeves and works with skirts, jeans, and dressy pants. Instead of retiring this baby when it's a little chilly, wear it under a cozy cardigan or coat for an easy fall look.
Promising review: "This is so soft and so comfortable. It’s the first bodysuit I’ve bought and I don’t know why I haven’t purchased these sooner, it’s amazing. I was worried about the snaps being uncomfortable, but you don’t even know they’re there. I also worried for the price if it might be see-through but it’s not at all. I’ll probably be buying this in every color." —MW
Get it from Amazon for $22.98 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 29 colors).

Also the color and material are great for year-round wear. I want more!" —Anonymous

Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok, and I had to try them out. I am short, so I was expecting them to be long, but they are very long. I am just gonna get them tailored. I am buying more, though, because they are absolutely beautiful! I've gotten so many compliments on them!" —Bretta Little

Promising review: "I love this hat! At first, I was worried it might be heavy in weight because of its wool-like texture, but it was actually lightweight! This hat will go with any outfit. You’ll have to fix the shape of it after taking it out of the box though, it was a bit crushed from delivery but no biggie. For the price and quality, I was impressed. I recommend this must-have fashionable piece! :)" —Sapphire Shiohwan

I was not expecting that I could brave the snow with this jacket, but I was so warm and comfortable, I haven't even had the need to bust out my heavy duty winter coat because this is warm enough. The best part is that this jacket is so much cheaper than every other teddy jacket out there, and still stylish and comfy. I also love that the pockets are quite deep, I was able to fit quite a bit into the pockets which is super nice." —Minah

Promising review: "Love this dress! It’s so pretty and can be worn for so many occasions. I got a medium and it fit well after I adjusted the straps. I probably could have gotten a small if I wanted it to be tighter on my body. I got so many compliments while wearing it, I can’t wait to wear it again. However, I will advise to not put on lotion or oils prior to putting on the dress. It does easily transfer onto the dress and it can appear stained. It washed out later but just something to be careful with." —Amazon Customer
