Promising review: "I have been wearing Nike sweatpants for years and have been very happy with them. Based on the reviews, I decided to give these a try. For about 60 percent of the cost, these sweat pants are just as good if not better. I bought the one with the lining. They are heavier, warmer, and fit closer to the skin without being tight. The lining is very soft and comfortable. The waistband is wide and fits perfectly. Items don't fall out of the deep pockets. I like them better for working out in the gym and for lounging at home." —Linda Wood

Promising review: "I love this blazer so much that I ordered it in another color! I now have a black and a cream blazer in this style, and they are my favorites for work. Ladies, this blazer has REAL POCKETS, and not only that, they are great, deep pockets. So hard to find sometimes! For reference, I am 130 lbs, 34B, 5 feet 4 inches, and typically wear a small in tops. The small in this blazer is perfect for a slightly oversized look. I do cuff the sleeves since they are a tad large for my taste." —Hannah F

Promising review: "Great fit and so warm! Usually, I'm not happy with wearing leggings because they pull down in the back and I'm constantly pulling them up but these have a high waist with a wide band. I'm a size 16 and 5 feet 5 inches tall and I ordered the large/ extra large and the colors are very vibrant. Hand washed and dried in the dryer and there was no shrinking and kept their shape." —Jean Russell

Promising review: "Absolutely LOVE these jeans! Seriously the comfiest pair I have put on. They have some stretch to them but are extremely lightweight and comfy. I'm 5 feet 11 inches and about 155 lbs. and ordered a size up (8 X-long) for a more relaxed loose fit!" —Heather
Get it from American Eagle for $37.46+ (available in sizes 000-24 in short, tall, and regular, and 15 washes).
Promising review: "I really like this shirt! It looks just as I hoped it would and fits really well. I ordered a small and I am about 5 feet 4 inches and 130 pounds. It is long so it could be worn untucked with leggings if desired. The color is a darker denim but not super dark. I bought it to wear specifically with white shorts, tucked in and it looks great." —Sydney Stewart

Promising review: "Perfect fit. Nice skinny look. I’m 5'8 and about 163 lbs and I got a medium. The waist is a tad loose but with the drawstring, it wasn’t an issue. I typically wear a 33 waist. The length is perfect. Slight bunching at the bottom but if you’re taller than me you won’t have that issue. I suspect they’ll shrink some in the wash anyway. Good amount of stretch too so they’re flexible." —Ryan Finn

Promising review: "I have purchased two of these boots; in khaki and black. I LOVE them! I have plantar faciitis, which causes me to have foot pain in most shoes I wear. These booties are the only attractive shoes I can wear to work all day that don't leave me in agony when the workday is over! There is enough heel to look good, but not so much that they further harm my arches. I would highly recommend these booties to anyone looking for a great shoe at an amazing price!" —SarahK

Promising review: "Fantastic T-shirts. Very flattering, Hangs/drapes well against the body. The medium worked well for me. It has some stretch and will naturally fall off the shoulder now and again, which I like. It accents the clavicle. The material is soft but after a number of goes in the dryer, you will see pilling. Still absolute Wardrobe must-haves, that’s for sure." —Chris W.

Promising review: "Best dress ever!! I wore this dress to an interview and was hired on the spot! I knew it would make me stand out and I did. I have received many compliments every time I've worn it! The medium fit perfectly. The quality is some of the best I've seen on Amazon in this price range. The material is like a stiff cotton with a little stretch, but not much, so if you are between sizes (for me med and large) the bottom isn't a problem, if you are larger than 36DD on top I would go up a size." —Katherine Schieffer
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes XS-24 and 47 colors).
Promising review: "This is a fantastic petticoat. The sizing chart is spot on! There are two layers of 'chiffon,' with a red underslip beneath that. The top has elastic at the waist and the material has some stretch to it. The skirt shook out to a flounce (I didn't need to steam) and it was very well priced. Thank you!" —Sarida

Promising review: "Love this jacket...but my girlfriend loves it more and wears it more than I do, so now I have to buy her one. I'm not a jacket or coat person but felt I may need it for the season, and despite being the thin version it keeps me warm in the south's 35-degree to 40-degree weather." —AD

Promising review: "Best jeans I have owned probably my whole adult life. Back pockets sit just right. Thick enough and just enough stretch." —alballthetime
Get it from Target for $24.99 (available in sizes 00-18 and in short and long sizes).
Promising review: "I was surprised at how well these fit. I have an athletic build with broad shoulders so sometimes these kinds of shirts get awkwardly tight in the chest and shoulders. This fits slim, but not restricting. For the price, you can't beat it." —Clayton
Get it from Amazon for $9.96+ (available in sizes XS-3XL and 30 prints).
Promising review: "This is a nice summer and fall dress. It's heavy enough to keep you from being cold indoors during the summer and outdoors during the fall, but breathes enough that you can wear it in the heat. The dress is a little shorter than I imagined it would be; I'm only 5'5", but it was more a midi length than a maxi on me. It's still very cute on and I always get lots of compliments." —Sara

Promising review: "I'm 30 and have worn hundreds of jeans. Never did expect to buy anything from AE after high school honestly. But these are by far the most comfortable, stretchy, and forgiving jeans I've ever owned. So I bought four pairs." —DMOAD

Promising review: "These are the first tights I have bought in a loooonnnng time and let me tell you, I don't regret it! They are comfortable, not completely see-through, kept me warm, and are made to last. They fit true to size and I did not have any problems with sagging. Did I mention how soft they are? I'll be buying another pair." —ANONYMOUS

My arms are so, so long and it can really create a fashion struggle at times.
Promising review: "It fits me well. I’m about 5 feet 9 inches, 150 lbs and wear a size 6, and I have long arms. It fits me so well, it's loose near the torso and tucks well into my trousers. I pair it with trousers and black boots. It’s a layering piece, so I don’t mind that it’s thin. I chose it because it’s soft and the pink hue matches my scarf and jacket. I plan to wear it under sweaters and blazers. I’ve worn it once a week and it’s held up so far with the washes." —Ms Curry
