Promising review: "I ordered a size up because I wanted a really loose fit. I'm a normal medium and got a large. It is really great to wear with leggings and makes you look like a cute, cuddly, snow bunny. I've bought a second one already and I'm looking at a third." —Nikki S. Kitchen
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and in 24 colors).
3. 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 29 styles).

5. 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: "This sweater poncho is so cozy and thick. It’s perfect for the fall! I grabbed this while I went on my trip and it kept me warm on the airplane. I’m glad I grabbed it because it was freezing on the airplane! It’s super cute paired with leggings and boots." —MJ
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in 29 styles).
6. A soft sweater, so cozy you'll want to buy 10, cut 'em all up, and make a blanket out of them. But, like, don't do that.
Promising review: "I love this sweater! I bought it to wear with leggings to work and it is the perfect length to cover everything while wearing leggings. It is also very warm and soft! " —Rebecca Gerstorff

Promising review: "Ordered a small in the white version of this sweater and holy cow! I intend to buy this in black as well, so impressed. This sweater is incredibly soft and stretchy and comfortable. It does run slightly large in my opinion, however, I wouldn't order a size down. This has been washed several times since I ordered it and I am impressed with how it's held up. 10/10 would recommend to a friend! Great value for the money spent." —Elizabeth
