1. An oversized knitted sweater vest to wear on its own or pair with a turtleneck for the ultimate addition to your wardrobe. Keep giving us fashionable-bookshop-owner-in-a-romance-novel viiiibes!
BuzzFeed editor Katy Herman is a big fan:
"Back in the good old days/fashion pocket universe that was 2009, I had some favorite Forever 21 sweater vests that I adored (YES, sometimes I wore them with the aforementioned trilby, okay?!?), and I was definitely in the market for one once they started to come back in style. I love the black-and-white versions that are everywhere, but I absolutely cannot resist anything purple. The lavender hue feels so fresh and different, and pairs great with all washes of denim. I'm usually between a medium and a large, and I ordered a large so it was extra cozy and there would be room to layer. It's the ideal 2022 wardrobe item because it's comfy enough to work from/chill out at home in, but also can be dressed up all sorts of ways when you do go out. So far, I've worn it by itself with shorts, over a white tee with jeans, and over a button-down/under a moto jacket. The layering possibilities are endless!"

5. A cozy flannel the internet has dubbed "the Evermore flannel" as it looks eerily similar to the one Taylor Swift wears on the cover of the album — a must-have for any Swiftie's collection.
As seen above, I treated myself to this flannel this fall. It's super soft, true to size, and a lovely color for fall/winter. I'd suggest sizing up if you'd prefer an oversized look — I'm wearing a medium and it's a bit more fitted. It looks cute with jeans or leggings and is definitely already a staple in my wardrobe.
Promising review: "I am plus size and Old Navy has become my favorite brand. Well made and stylish the top is obviously designed to fit my frame rather just being an upsized from the popular size. It sits beautifully, perfect sleeve length. Quality material and construction I feel will wear well. Absolutely recommended." —LizP
Get it from Old Navy for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–4X and 19 styles).
6. A lightweight, oversized blazer you'll *fall* for this season once you see how fabulously it layers with other items you already own. Get ready to get your creative juices flowing while seeing just how many outfits you can plan around this piece!
Promising reviews: "I get so many compliments whenever I wear this coat. It always ties my outfits together and makes me feel spruced up. The weight is really versatile, too! It was a godsend when I went to a convention in San Diego. I could wear it over my sleeveless dress in the air conditioning or outside walking by the water and feel very comfortable. I wore it over long sleeved shirts and sweaters with boots in the fall and winter and felt super cute. It's held up well and I couldn't be happier!" —Noneya
Get it from Amazon for $55.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and six styles).
7. An oversized corduroy shacket (shirt and jacket) you'll praise yourself for buying on those days between when the weather is just a tad awkward — put the whole "do I need a coat?" debate to rest.
I recently picked up this corduroy shirt jacket and am a big fan. It's not too heavy and can easily be layered for days where you'd like some extra warmth. It comes in lovely colors for fall and winter and the tortoiseshell buttons are too cute!
Promising review: "This jacket is absolute perfection. The quality, the color, and the fit are stunning. I got the Pale Thistle color and it is even more beautiful in person. I'm a true size medium and the medium is the perfect oversized fit. I tried on a small which fit too, but I wanted the oversized look so medium it was!" —JMD00
Get it from Madewell for $89.50 (available in sizes 2XS–2XL, 1X–4X, and four colors).
8. A mock neck bodysuit you'll never have to worry about re-tucking every time you take a bathroom break. It'll remain flawless and fabulous the entire time you wear it.
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 $12.98+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 25 colors).
9. A batwing-sleeve sweater dress, a romantic option you'll also be able to count on to leave your comment section flooded with asks of "where did you get that dress???" when you post a cute pic of yourself in it.
Promising review: "Fit perfectly, the fabric is thick and good quality. It was also warm yet also sexy at the time! I paired it with OTK boots and got so many compliments. It’s now one of my favorite fall dresses!" —Kat

12. Spanx faux leather leggings you can wear on days you want to appear more ~edgy~ but still feel like you're lounging in comfy clothes.
I splurged on these three years ago. I don't know why I waited so long! They're super soft on the inside, edgy on the outside, and just freakin' fabulous. I was pregnant last year during the holiday seasons and invested in the maternity version — which I'll now continue to wear! They fit exactly like non-maternity ones, but with a stretchy waist! I love pairing them with an oversized sweater or flannel for a look that's stylish but still cozy.
Get them from Nordstrom, Spanx, or Amazon for $98+ (available in sizes XS–3X).

Promising review: "Absolutely love this shirt! It's very trendy and flattering yet affordable — similar to some tops I get from local boutiques. I wore it with distressed jeans out for a casual dinner with friends and received several compliments! I'm not usually a fan of this color but I love it! I will be getting another one in army green soon." —Smalave76
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in sizes S–2XL and seven colors).

Promising review: “I bought these for an Elton John concert and received so many compliments on them throughout the evening! The rhinestones are absolutely stunning and even though I don't wear heels often I was able to comfortably wear these for several hours. However, I would highly recommend going up a half size! I read several other reviews recommending this and am glad I did or else they probably would not have fit. I'd recommend going a half size up from your regular shoe size, but otherwise these boots are perfection!” —Amazon Customer

Promising review: “Freaking love these! Purchased for a Vegas trip. And didn’t wear them in before I went. Risky, right? Like never bring a new pair of shoes for a night out. But oh my gosh. They fit amazing in the shoe! And were legit comfortable until 4 a.m. when I got back to my hotel room. Only con: they do slide down a little bit, but nothing terrible, just to the top of my knee if walking. Standing and just moving they stayed up all the way. Just buy the boots!” —Danielle

22. A fuzzy fleece open-front coat you can indulge in on slightly warmer days when you don't want to sweat through your clothes but still want to embrace the fact it's sweater weather.
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 $46.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 10 colors).

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

Promising review: "So cute — I get so many compliments on this! Even friends ask to borrow it! Works great by itself or with a blazer. Only complaint is that it could be a little longer, as sizing up would make it baggy. Great for winter or summer and the pockets are perfect!" —Virginia Redgate
Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and two styles).
26. Steve Madden ankle boots you'll want to write a love song about thanks to their bedazzled accents and how comfortable they are.

27. A lightweight maxi skirt starring an adorable ruffle waistband (s'cute) you won't be able to stop yourself from ordering in a variety of colors (take it from someone who actually owns it).
After putting this skirt in tons of posts, I finally caved and ordered one for myself. Reviewers love this skirt and for a reason — it really does live up to the hype! I paired it with a high-neck tank, a denim jacket, and sneakers and felt super cute when wearing it to my best friend's baby shower. I love that there aren't any buttons or drawstrings, you just pull this baby on and feel like royalty. The pleats are adorable, the ruched waist is fun, AND it has pockets!!! I'm literally going to place an order for another one as soon as I can decide between the green and the pink. Screw it, maybe I'll just get both.
Get it from Amazon for $31.89+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 17 colors).

Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 15 colors).
29. An A-line overalls dress that'll look just darling layered over long sleeves and sweaters during colder weather — this should absolutely be a contender for your Friendsgiving look.

I can wear it all through fall!" —Brandon Alexander

I love oversized sweaters though! It’s 100% acrylic so it doesn’t shrink, which is nice. It’s also super soft without being scratchy. I love the cable-knit design!
