Promising review: "This sweater vest looks super cute with a shirt underneath, leggings, and short boots. I get so many compliments while wearing it. I ordered the black, and it goes great with everything. It's stretchy enough, but doesn't stretch out while wearing it." —Jewels M
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in five colors, and sizes S—XL)
Promising review: "So this is a staple in my wardrobe now! Didn't even know it before I purchased it just how bad I needed one of these! The fabric is thick enough to make sense (you know, not one of those super-thin turtlenecks). It's not a super high turtleneck either which is great because I hate when I feel like I'm rubbing makeup off all over it. The color is great too, a mustard yellow more than canary yellow (which I wish they had too). But overall this is a great purchase!" —Chelsea Fairbairn

Promising review: "This is my go-to cardi now! I loved it as a layer when I went to San Francisco, and I have kept wearing it ever since. It's not too long and not too short — on me it doesn't cover my butt all the way, so I wouldn't wear it just with leggings, but it's just short enough that it looks good with jeans. The sleeves are very soft and stretchy so I can easily push them up to my elbows, which I do a lot. I love the snaps, but there are a ton of them, lol, but I usually wear it open anyways." —Julia
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two styles, ten colors, and in sizes XS-XXL).
Promising review: "This sweater is such an amazing quality for the price. It’s a pretty heavy knit but it’s super soft. It runs true to size, but I got a size up so it would be more oversized and loose." —Mckenna W.
Get it from Forever 21 for $19.99 (available in three colors, and sizes S–L).
Promising review: "I was skeptical about these camisoles. I wear camis under my shirts every day and usually go for the more spandex-style ones. I am so glad I gave these a try. They are completely different than camis I normally buy. They’re more cotton than spandex and don’t cling to your body the same way. However, I’ve found that I love this model. They’re so soft and comfortable. I have fibromyalgia and have problems with uncomfortable clothes so these ended up being amazing. They’re the right length to wear under shirts and they’re not too loose so they don’t get all bunched up. And having them be cotton-based, I actually find fewer problems with my shirts riding up over them. I highly recommend these. I hope to purchase more colors of these in the future." —Nicole D
Get them in packs of two and four from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 14 color combo options, and sizes S–XL).
Promising review: "Loved this! Bought it for a festival and it was perfect. Lightweight enough for the heat and breathable. The color-changing sheen was nice and it was a perfect combo of see-through but covering enough to mask your body under. Definitely will be using it again with but a tank top under for everyday non-festival use." —Tabatha Ashley

It's also great for laying under your coat when that treacherous time comes.
Promising review: "My son loves this Synchilla. He's 6'6" and the XL fits him well. He also has wide shoulders and this is big enough to be comfortable. This must be the 6th or 7th Patagonia I've purchased for him over the years. Certainly is a staple in our house." —Trendimom
Get it from Nordstrom for $119 (available in seven styles/colors, and sizes XS–XXL).
Promising review: "My husband initially bought the red one for me. The cloth is thick, but soft, warm, (even if you don't wear any shirt/jacket under it), and comfortable. I already washed it multiple times, and the colors did not fade and the material did not shrink or become loose. I am 5'1" and 110 pounds. My husband bought the US size 6–10. I like that I can opt to wear a sweater underneath it in the winter. I am sooo happy about it that my husband purchased three other colors for me — beige, purple, and blue." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 18 colors, and sizes 0–4/18–22)
Promising review: "I really like this sweater since it is warm enough to wear all winter here in Florida as a coat. When I have traveled to colder climates, it is light enough to wear under my heavier coats for a middle layer. I like that the fleece lining is so soft and that it has both an inner zipper, and buttons. The hood is also a plus! It washes nicely, and is holding up well." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon $33.14+ (available in 13 style and color combinations. and sizes S-XXL).
Promising review: "Wow! I was extremely skeptical of these leggings considering they’re a 'one size fits all' type of deal. I am 5'5" and curvier. I was worried they were going to be too tight or see-through. However, that’s not the case! They are not see-through even after three washes so far. They are extremely soft and comfortable. The only thing I noticed is they are more of a muted black compared to some of my other leggings but it’s barely noticeable. I liked them so much I ordered a second pair. Def would recommend!" —nichole campton
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 22 colors, and in three sizes).
Promising review: "Love this jacket. This is what I’ve been looking for. It has a slight slouchiness so it’s not a typical fitted denim. It’s not too long or too short, just right. I am 5’4”, 120 lbs and bought both the small and medium. I’m going to keep the medium because it has a tad more of a laid back vibe." —Susel
Get it from Madewell for $99 (available in sizes XXS–XXL).
Promising review: "I have gotten the most compliments on this vest; every time I wear it, I get told how cute it is. Most people want to just touch it. It helps keep me warm but does not make me too hot. I am a woman in menopause and this is something that is perfect to keep me warm but yet I can take off quickly if a hot flash comes on. It is very well made. I was surprised by the quality of the material. I plan on ordering more for gifts this year!" —Kimmi

Promising review: "I work out a lot and it gets so annoying wearing regular laser-cut panties that get stuck in areas they shouldn't. I bought these last week to wear specifically for exercise, and they are great! The cotton is very breathable and I no longer have to worry about wedgies. If you order these, you may want to go up a size just to be safe. Other than that, they serve their purpose well." —Megan Gossett

Promising review: "I happened upon this brand while hiking in Maine. With frozen feet I had nothing to lose. I will never wear anything else. They are comfortable, warm, and have styles you can wear year-round. The return policy is fantastic and really helped when I bought the wrong size. I have replaced all my socks with Darn Tough!" —Claudia K.

Promising review: "I love this shirt! It fits perfect and true to size. I’m an XL and large-chested, and it fits nice. People complaining about the stretchy material breaking too often are possibly drying in the dryer, mine is still 100% intact and I hang dry like the label says." —Brit

Promising review: "I fell in love with this dress, fit nicely. I wear a size 6 or 8 and the medium is just right. I got a lot of compliments on this dress. Can wear with wedges or sneakers. I'll buy another color next time. For the price, it's not bad at all. I'm a happy customer. Thank you." —Georgia
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors, and sizes XS–L).
Promising review: "Long story short (for those with limited time to read my full review,) these are some of the best thermal underwear you can possibly buy. At ANY price. I am a 6' tall, 240 lb. man and the size SMALL fit me like a glove! Which is exactly what you want when buying long johns. You want them to fit fairly tight so they won't be too bulky to wear under your jeans (or other style of pants). These fit like a (comfortable) second skin. I absolutely LOVE them.
Having said all that, let me tell you where I live, and the conditions that I've been wearing these in. I live in Marquette County, Michigan. We've been getting down below zero, with wind chill factors of around 30 to 40 BELOW ZERO. I have yet to feel the need to wear my snowsuit while wearing these! They've been PERFECT for shoveling snow, checking the mail, etc.
Yes, if I were planning on being outdoors for great periods of time, I would absolutely wear these in conjunction with my snowsuit, but for periods of 10-15 minutes, they're GREAT. I can't possibly say enough nice things about these. I bought two pair, but will definitely be ordering more as soon as possible." —YooperCoupleInMarquette
