1. Joggers (with pockets!) that are just begging to become part of your cozy winter hibernation plans — they're stretchy, smooth against the skin, and simply a must-have loungewear piece.
Promising review: "When I ordered them I expected them to be thick. I wanted something warm for my winter workouts in my garage. They are way thinner than I expected but are surprisingly super warm. Not see through at all. And the feel is amazing. I love the material. I ordered both black and tye dye. I’ll deff be ordering more! If you want a super tight feel like leggings order down a size. But medium fit me perfectly with lots of room to move around, and so far no issues with waistband sliding down." —lacie Marie like
Get them from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 17 colors).
2. Ugg's classic tall boots, because your original pair is probably *super* worn down and you and I both know nothing keeps your legs warmer than these babies.
After basically living in my Ugg minis as my "work shoes" while WFH, it only felt right to transition into full boots now that it's really cold out. I can continue to wear my comfiest clothes to "the office" but also feel like I've somewhat transitioned into work mode for the day since *technically* I've put shoes on. They're super soft, as expected, and honestly just make me happy! They are true to size so no worries about sizing up or down.
Promising review: "Love my Uggs! The only time I have ever spent this much for shoes or boots was when I bought my first pair nine years ago. They are black, Classic Tall, and still look nice even though they have survived quite a bit of wear. Last week I bought a second pair, Classic Tall II in chestnut. This pair has the same high quality, warmth, and comfort. Knowing that the old black Uggs still have several years of use ahead, I didn't mind investing in a second pair. I've never worn a warmer or more comfortable boot!" —Anita
Get them from Amazon for $199.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and five colors).
3. Fuzzy earmuffs the main character of wintry films always seems to be wearing while they walk through their thoroughly decorated small town with a hot chocolate in hand.
4. A two-piece lounge set worth investing your hard earned dollars on — once the weekend rolls around you're going to want to live in the utmost comfort. This set will certainly check that box.
Promising review: "This is a cute and comfortable two-piece set. The fit was as expected, and these pieces could easily be worn for travel or just lounging around the house. They washed up nicely, but I wouldn't recommend putting them in the dryer due to possible shrinkage." —H. Brien
Get it from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 35 colors).
5. High-waisted leggings, because structured pants are *not* welcome to join in on your lazy day plans. Sorry, not sorry.
Promising review: "If you’re on the fence about buying these leggings, DO IT. I bought a black pair (plus size) to see how they’d fit and let me tell you! I have wide hips, big thighs, and a large behind, and these leggings fit perfectly! Even better, THEY ARE NOT SEE-THROUGH when I bend over!! I’ve *never* found leggings that weren’t sheer when I bent over before! I bought eight more in different colors and they all are the same quality! I love them so much that over a year later I bought two more black pairs!! I recommend these leggings to everyone I hear talking about the difficulties of finding good leggings. I swear I wear these to work three times a week, at least. I love them!!" —hali howard
Get them from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in one standard size and one plus size, 3 lengths, and 22 colors/patterns).
6. Sweater pants, because why should your arms and torso have all the fun??? Let your legs join in on the coziness by enveloping them in these bad boys.
Promising review: "SO COMFY. These pants are literally so amazing and such an awesome material...It’s a nice comfy brunch outfit or lounge outfit...they’re my favorite pair to wear right now." –Kyrene Galanis
Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 10 colors).
7. A drawstring jumpsuit, perfect for anyone who wants to lounge *most* of the day but also has a handful of errands to run. When the cute cashier at CVS starts checking *you* out while you're checking out, you can thank me.
Promising review: "Originally, I wanted a comfy outfit for air travel and bought this before my last trip to Mexico. As soon as I put it on, I fell in love with it. I now live in it. It's comfortable and fits perfectly. I will be purchasing more!" —Meg Fanslow
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 12 colors and styles).
8. An oversized crewneck sweater you can comfortably wear with leggings on busy WFH mornings where you want to feel cozy but still be a little dressed in case you have to hop on a Zoom call.
I bought this sweater and it's fantastic — super stretchy but cozy at the same time. I've been wearing it with leggings (the medium is long enough on me, I'm a little over 5 feet tall) but can totally see wearing it with jeans as well! It's washed beautifully (no pilling) and I will definitely buy more colors.
Promising review: "This is a great loose fitting sweater. So comfortable. Great to lounge around the house in sweats or throw on some leggings or jeans and run errands. I wear it a lot." —Michelle S.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 32 styles).
9. A fuzzy three-piece loungewear set reviewers have praised as being delightfully similar to Skims. (Apologies, Kim K!) A must-have if you want to test run the style before potentially treating yourself to the real thing — or just another set of these in another color!
Promising review: "This is by far the best money spent on clothing! I love this outfit, it's so comfortable! I will say the tag was a bit itchy on the top piece so I had to cut it off, but otherwise 20/10. This outfit is what I treat myself to on my self-care days and relaxing moments. Personally, I don't think I'd wear it out and about, but around the house it is just so perfect! And what I look like in my own house doesn't matter, but my comfort definitely does!" —Wendy
Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $53.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 30 styles).
Psst: This is included in Prime Wardrobe, so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
10. Richer Poorer recycled sweats, because everyone should have *at least* one pair of ridiculously comfortable sweatpants in their lineup.
You can make it a matching set with this recycled fleece sweatshirt.
Here's more from my colleague Emma Lord:
"Before these sweatpants, I had three rotating sweatpants that each had, like, One Good Thing about them, but weren't overall great. After I got these Richer Poorer sweatpants, I straight up got rid of all the others, because this pair has it all. I'm talking ridiculously soft fabric on the inside, and — be still my millennial heart — the aforementioned POCKETS. I tend not to go outside in sweatpants, but I do occasionally have to run down to the lobby of my building to pick up deliveries, and these make me feel very ~sweatpants chic~ (and the deep pockets are truly appreciated for holding things like my phone and keys and face masks). I can tell these are going to be a favorite of mine for a loooong, long time (unless I end up getting it in other colors, in which case it might tie for my favorite with those, lolol)."
Get it from Richer Poorer for $76 (available in sizes XS–L and eight colors).
11. Colorful leggings with side pockets (!!!) you can keep your phone in — so when you *finally* settle in to work comfortably on the couch you won't wonder "where is my phone?" and then, begrudgingly, get up to go search for it.
Promising review: "These leggings are AMAZING! Not only are they soft, comfortable, and squatproof, but they look so good on! I have a hard time finding leggings that are big enough around the thighs/butt area but fitting enough around the waistline. I can’t believe the price and the fact that my new favorite leggings are from Amazon." —MLK
Get them from Amazon for $25+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 29 colors).
12. An oversized pullover V-neck sweater made of a cozy waffle knit material you won't be able to get enough of — it'll look just as cute with leggings at home as it will with your fave pair of denim.
Promising review: "This is my new favorite go-to top for ANY occasion. I bought it to wear with heels and distressed jeans out with my fiancé, however the day turned into us and our daughter heading to a Mexican restaurant so I simply changed from heels to my Birkenstocks and it was just as cute. I’m buying every color. LOVE THIS SHIRT!" –Katie
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and in a variety of colors).
13. Novelty socks that'll adorably hold hands when you click your heels together — who needs ruby slippers when you can kick your feet up and relax with these cuties?
Promising review: "My sister and I have had so much fun with these socks!!! They are super cute and the magnetic hold really well. The magnets are a bit big so you do notice them but overall super fun and cute." —addison fullmer
Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available three styles and sets of four).
14. Or regular ol' cushioned crew socks to encourage you to kick back, put your feet up, indulge in some vino and relax a bit after a long work week.
Promising review: "I love socks and am also very picky about socks. These socks checked all my boxes! They're comfortable socks, they're thick but not too thick, and I wear them all the time. I will be coming back to order some more soon!!" —Abi Tamburro

Get them from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in sizes 5–10, including narrow sizes, and 14 colors).
16. A cropped sweater tank and shorts set that's exactly what you'd find pictured next to the definition of "cozy" in the dictionary. You can also complete the look with a matching cardigan!
Promising reviews: "Very cute and comfortable! Thicker material versus some other sets. Top is short but the bottoms are high cut and flexible so they fit together well!" —C. Larson
"This is the perfect sweater set! I love that the top and cardigan can be worn separately or with other pieces, making it super versatile. Each piece washed well and is very soft and comfortable. Would definitely buy in another color. Also, I sized up in the knit tank so that it fits less like a bra top and it ended up being a perfect crop!" —Nicole Thibou
Get the set from Amazon: $27.92+ (for the tank; available in sizes 2XS–5XL and eight colors) and $31.92+ (for the shorts; available in sizes 2XS–5XL and in eight colors).
Psst: This is included in Prime Wardrobe, so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
17. An oversized knit cardigan in an array of gorgeous colors — ideal if you're someone who *waffles* between being too hot and too cold and loves nothing more than a go-to layering option.
Promising review: "I have these cardigans in three different colors, need I say more? They are thick and heavy, which I like because I bought them for winter, but since it’s cotton, I feel like they will be comfortable in spring and fall too. They keep their shape and quality after washing. For sizing comparison, I have them in S, and I usually wear US S in tops." —Anonimous
Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 30 colors).
18. A hoodie and joggers set inspired by Jasmine's pants from Aladdin to make you feel like a Disney Princess even if you're only planning to listen to the soundtracks while you power through work emails.
Art Care Shop is an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based small business that makes stylish and comfy "basics" that are actually anything but.
Promising review: "Sooo, I’m obsessed with this. I have it in blue lavender and charcoal now, and both are perfect! The material is so soft and plush and warm (like, impressively high quality), and I love the high-waisted pants! I don’t remember how I found this shop, but I’m so glad I did. Also — I ended up exchanging sizes, and it was the easiest exchange of my life! And shipping is always super quick!" —Caroline Morris
Get it from Art Care Shop on Etsy for $120 (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors).
19. A pullover sweatshirt that'll become a staple in your wardrobe faster than you can say "cozy." It comes in *so* many colors you can absolutely stock up on 'em. (Who wants to do laundry???)
Promising review: "I can't stop buying more and more of these sweaters. I am not joking, they are the most comfy thing ever. Make sure to wash on a cold, gentle cycle and tumble dry low so it stays softer for longer. It is the PERFECT lazy day comfy outfit. Couldn't recommend more. Going to get everyone one for the holidays." —Caroline Cycon
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 26 colors).
20. A padded tank so you can go about your day bra-free — which sounds like an absolute dream, TBH. It'll provide you with enough support and layer beautifully under your go-to oversize cardi.
Check out this activewear essential on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Honestly saw this on TikTok and contemplated getting it for a long time. I’m so glad I committed! It’s extremely comfortable. The padding is amazing so you don’t have to worry about a bra underneath at all. You can wear it with sweats or leggings to the gym or even dress it up for a night out. Considering more colors for sure!" —Kristyn Long
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).
21. A matching sweat set for a coordinated cozy vibe you can happily rock whether you're splayed out on your couch with your laptop or running errands at Tar-jay.
Promising review: "Got this set to sleep in for the winter. The material is very comfortable and soft on the skin and not irritating at all. The stitches were flawless and looks exactly like the picture. I actually wore the sweats outside with another top and I was feeling fine the whole day." —Kesha Follz
Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).
22. An oversized pullover for anyone who is passionate about ranch and refuses to eat a single meal without a lil' dipping action. Even Taylor Swift apparently likes her chicken fingers "with ketchup and seemingly ranch" hehehe.
BFFs and Babes is a woman-owned small business that sells customized apparel for both adults and kiddos — I have so many beloved items from them that I've truly lost count. If ranch isn't your thing, check out the rest of their "Sips & Snacks" collection.
Get it from BFFs and Babes for $54 (available in unisex sizes S–3XL and two colors).
23. Lounge pants you'll wonder why you've decided to live so long without — they're buttery soft and will be the perfect companion to your next snuggle sesh.
Promising review: "These pants are amazingggg. I was hesitant after trying a few similar styles that were super sheer but lemme tell you, you won’t regret this purchase! Super soft, wash really well (cold on delicate, I don’t put them in the dryer), and wear even better." —JWH
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and ten colors).
24. A pet pouch hoodie to help you *finally* win over your cat who typically prefers to scowl at you while they lounge on their own. They simply won't be able to resist the warm pocket and cute pom poms — snuggle season is HERE, friends.
"The picture and gif above are of my cat Blair, who loves my husband so much more than she loves me. I bought this in an attempt to get her to snuggle up with me instead of him. This sweater works, folks! This has also made working from home a lot easier as she'll chill out in the pocket instead of insisting on using my keyboard as a bed. Win, win, WIN!" —BuzzFeed Writer, Mallory Mower
Promising review: "This is very cute. The color is vibrant and the size is technically very true. I say this only because the material is not stretchy AT ALL! Not that it ruins the sweatshirt! I think the stiffer fabric makes your pet more comfort in the pouch. The removable pouch liner is awesome!!! I took it out, seamed it a bit smaller, then put it back in. My pup is TINY and couldn't even reach the top of the pouch! Once I seamed it he can see out but still cuddle down in for warmth. As he grows I can adjust the seam size! All in all this is an AWESOME sweater that I will be buying in other colors!" —Carrie Parker
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in six colors and sizes S–3XL).
25. Silky-smooth fleece-lined leggings reviewers often compare to Lululemon (aka the ROYALTY of leggings). They have deep pockets, so no need to worry about carrying your phone around in your hand all the live long day.
Promising review: "These fleece-lined leggings are perfect for the chilly fall mornings. Was definitely pleased with the fit and the softness, love the pockets, seem to be high quality. Good value for the price." —Kindle Customer

26. A Carhartt beanie that'll keep your head nice 'n' toasty without sacrificing an ounce of style — these are a tried-and-true classic you'll likely find yourself ordering in different colors.
Both my husband and my toddler (you can get your mini-me one here) have Carhartt beanies, so it's only a matter of time before I order one for myself. They really are super soft, stretchy, and comfortable. Need I say more?
Promising review: "Saw this hat on TikTok and decided to place my order! It can get very cold where I live, especially during morning time when I’m walking my dog. I need to keep my ears warm! The material is so soft, and there are many color options." —MHF
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 36 colors).
27. Or a beanie with a faux-fur pom to keep your head warm while you're deciding which filter will capture the snow-covered trees nicely.
Promising review: "I'm so happy with my pom beanie! It's so cute and literally goes with everything I'm wearing this season! It's also thick and will definitely keep my head warm! I love that the pom is also removable. I will purchase this beanie again in more colors!" —samantha

Get it from Ornute on Etsy for $54.99 (available in 27 colors).
29. An open-front blanket shawl you can claim is *~fash-hun~* but in reality we both know you're just wearing it to feel like you're actually still lying in bed watching re-runs of Seinfeld.
Promising review: "I love this poncho. Quality of material is good. Love the colors. I purchased this for a trip. I wanted something lightweight, not bulky but would keep me warm on cool nights. It also doubles as a blanket when I am watching TV. I machine wash it, put in the dryer, and it still looks good." —Damian Perez
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in 42 styles).
30. A faux shearling moto jacket with a look that'll stand the test of time — throw it on over a tee and jeans you've already got in your closet and *boom* you've got a new go-to outfit!
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly is a fan, she said "This is the coat I own and it is VERY warm. It's so much warmer than you'd expect from the look of it!"

Promising review: "GUYS OMG this jacket is definitely a hidden gem. It's so soft and makes you look so sophisticated!! It does shed a little at first, so definitely wash this before you wear it unless you want little specks all over your clothes — I learned the hard way LOL. However, I wore this outfit pictured in 50-degree Fahrenheit weather, and it kept me warm! This is definitely one of those 'blanket- but make it fashion pieces' HAHA I love it so much." —@Kathy_Vu
Get it from Amazon for $61.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 25 colors).
Psst: This item is included in Amazon's Try Before You Buy service, so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
33. A pair of memory foam slippers that'll make your feet feel appreciated for once — they're so plush and cozy you won't want to wear any other footwear.
Promising review: "These are fabulous slippers! They're everything a slipper should be: super soft and warm, easy to slip on and off, and the sole comes up just high enough on the sides to keep the slipper from 'rolling' and it’s got the right amount of grip to keep you from slipping on hardwood or tile." —Humans of Kork & Kopper

Reviewers say to size down!
Promising review: "I wore this during a trip to NYC. Temps ranged from the mid-40s to mid-50s, and this kept me warm, was comfy, and was cute with all of my outfits. And the best part: It has ample pocket space, so I didn't have to carry a clutch!" —Kandace
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–L and 15 colors).
