Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A bodycon sheath dress featuring none other than deep pockets! I mean...a dress *this* sophisticated that also allows you to transport your phone and credit card, without lugging around a heavy handbag....There's only one word for a style this good: perfect.
2. A midi tube skirt reviewers adore so much they've snagged it in multiple colors — many are even calling it a "staple" and the slit height "just right." It's honestly so perfect for so many different occasions, the idea of it has literally got my head spinning (in a good way, ofc).
3. A mock neck bodysuit gifted with the ability to *hooray* never have to be tucked or re-tucked into your jeans or skirts. In this snazzy basic — I mean GODSEND — you'll just have one gloriously seamless finish.
4. A full-sleeve wrap dress appropriate for every semiformal event scheduled throughout the year. The flowy silo will get you by on warmer days, while the longer sleeves will have you covered when there's a breeze.
5. A quilted crossbody, aka the determination you'll make anytime you look in the mirror and wonder "what bag should go with this outfit?" The answer will forever and always be this gem because it can fit all the essentials without compromising your head-to-toe look.
6. A textured turtleneck sweater providing you an alternative to the same pilling one you've worn since high school. Ditch that for this. This being something that falls anywhere within the snazzy-yet-casual spectrum...which means...you can't go wrong with whatever you decide to accessorize it with.
7. Faux-leather leggings to upgrade the see-through ones you've been lounging in since the beginning of the pandem'. These are a *lot* fancier than those, so it's time to dig out some (walkable) heels and a flowy top to make it one heck of a fashionable fall.
8. A three-piece silky pajama set that'll make undressing out of your work clothes the best and easiest part of your day. Complete with a comfy pair of pants, a cami, *and* a robe, your after-hours look will feel nothing short of pure decadence.
9. A slouchy FP Movement onesie that'll make you feel so relaxed, you'll never have to spin your wheels over searching for a coordinating top and bottom ever again. Slide into this WFH-approved 'fit and watch every single worry melt away.
10. A cap-sleeve lace dress proving to us that sophistication and comfort can in fact coexist in sweet harmony. This stretchy beaut can be worn again and again — well into the winter months — and with all the fab colorways, it'll be hard to resist not checking out with one of each.
11. A pleated faux-leather skirt (with built-in shorts!) that'll basically pay for itself. This babe will hog all your attention given the number of fall and winter events you can wear it to.
12. A ribbed maxi dress, which is so simple yet so stylish. This gem is woven with a ridiculously soft material that can be slipped under a leather jacket, or worn beneath a sweater for another 'fit option that disguises itself as a skirt. So really, if you think about it, that's like spending $39 on two items! Genius.
13. A long-line plaid jacket that proves heaven is in fact a place on Earth — and when you're visiting said place, you're going to want to do it stylishly dressed in something that's part blazer, part overcoat.
14. A chic yet cozy ribbed knit tunic that is effortless to put together — and quite frankly, is the crème de la crème of any apple picking outfit.
15. Over-the-knee boots made of smooth and stretchy faux suede to round out your tall-boot collection. Might we be right in thinking you're missing a chunky-heeled pair that slides on as a stylish additional base layer?
16. A racerfront tank reviewers are commending for its fit and seasonal superpowers. Layering under open knits in the fall and airing out those pits in the summer never looked so damn stylish!
17. A glamorously comfy collared jumpsuit composed of a ribbed knit that'll keep you snug as a bug at home...or for a day out kicking up leaves with a latte in hand.
18. A batwing tie-up sweater doted on for being darn soft *and* pictureworthy. Some highlights? An open back, deep-V front, and a self-tie belt with a flounced bottom that can graciously be draped over any skirt or pant ready for an OOTD post.
19. An FP Movement printed fleece jacket you'll be reaching for to keep you warm on early-morning pup strolls, weekend hikes, aaaand late-night trips to pick up ice cream from the deli.
Promising review: "Best running around town jacket! Love love love this jacket! It’s so comfy and soft while also keeping you warm and snuggly. Deep pockets are a plus. Made to feel a little baggy — great for over a sweater. Highly recommend!" —Free People Customer
Get it from Free People for $168 (available in sizes XS–XL and nine patterns).
20. A strapless bustier one might look at and think "do I need this in every color?" The answer is yes. This in-demand top deserves its own schedule, because you'll be continuously making restaurant reservations just so you can wear it again and again.
21. Corduroy sneakers with fuzzy shearling lining, because cooler temps are just around the corner and if you're someone who likes to continue wearing slip-ons sans socks, these gems need to be in your arsenal.
Promising review: "I love a good slip-on sneaker. These are so cozy, they almost feel like a slipper. My typical shoe size fit perfectly. I do not wear socks with them. I recommend these as a cute fall sneaker." —Sheffygirl
Get them from J. Crew Factory for $59.50 (originally $98; available in two colors and sizes 5–12).
22. A waffle knit sweater coat for anyone who's been PSL sipping their way through the season and is ready to swaddle their entire body under a warm layer that resembles the feeling of their cozy comforter.
Promising review: "OMG! I am a very picky shopper, this is one of the best pieces that I have purchased. It has a great weight without being too heavy, and pockets — love love pockets. I am going to order every color." —Jane Carney
Get it from Amazon for $35.98+ (available in sizes S–XL and 20 colors).
23. A long-sleeve asymmetrical top you might trade your basic turtleneck for since this beauty has style, sophistication, *and* warmth stitched into its seams.
24. A brushed plaid shacket you might never want to take off. Seriously. This is *the* reason fall is considered the most fashionable season, since it goes with leggings, jeans, shorts, skirts...phew, excuse me while I take a breath (and add this to cart).
25. Or, a low-pile fleece shacket complete with deep pockets and the type of coziness that'll replicate your favorite throw blanket — the same throw blanket that entices you to cancel on plans. We predict that if you snag this piece of outerwear, you'll be doing a lot less of that...
26. Levi's vintage-inspired cropped jeans affectionately named the ~wedgie fit~. These stunners offer lift *and* stretch, which, last time I checked, is essentially the formula for a match made in denim heaven.
27. A long-sleeved off-shoulder top best described by these two words: wardrobe. staple. TL;DR: This'll be the style you'll be reaching for on chillier eves to go with jeans and leggings or tucked into skirts and tights on a crisp fall day.
Promising review: "I received so many compliments on this top! Fits great and comfy." —Courtney Thomas
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes L–4XL and six colors).
28. A batwing-sleeve sweater dress, aka the answer you'll be giving in group chats when people ask you what you're wearing to all the October baby and bridal showers.
29. A gloriously shaggy cardigan, which *checks dictionary* seems to be the definition of a fancy jacket — aka it's time to ditch the denim one you've pretended is "fine if I get cold." Throw this over a cocktail dress and bless the world with your outstanding style, bb.
30. A cold-shoulder hoodie dress essential for days when you want to feel sporty and casual but still look like you made an effort: aka the flames emoji. I'd opt for this if you're after something that's a little more snazzy than your high school sweatshirt which still has yesterday's soup spilled on it.
Rebdolls is a WOC–owned business that sells all the fashion items your closet could possibly need.
Get it from Rebdolls for $59.90 (available in sizes M–5X and three colors).
31. A pair of joggers because these babies come in a touchably soft fabric that's both lightweight and livable, plus their tapered style ensures you can get away with wearing them outside, too.
32. A cashmere sweater tee considered a key component for fall — much like how your morning cup of coffee *with* a splash of pumpkin creamer is mandatory in order for you to even contemplate opening up your inbox.
33. Chunky-heel ankle boots here to take your autumnal style to new and exciting heights. These beauts are stylish, versatile, and their rubber platform sole will ensure you don't feel wobbly if you're not used to a little ~elevation~.
34. A short slouchy cardigan that's now *gasp* the only knit layer you need to go with mom jeans, flowing dresses, and high-waisted skirts. Excuse me while I swoon over this for you.
35. A fleece hoodie dress made of comfy, fluffy fabric that says, "I could give your PJs a run for their money." Finding this among your heap of failed outfit options when it's frigid out will essentially feel like finding a pot of gold.
Promising review: "I bought one of these last year, and absolutely loved it. This one is my second one, and I only bought a second one because I needed more of this in my life. The other one is still in perfect condition even though I wear it all the time during the long Chicago winters. No pilling or weird defects that have cropped up despite the fact that the purple one was washed a couple of times a week and worn pretty much every day. Very high quality for the price and perfect for layering on cold days when you need to go in and out of the house a lot. I bought the XXL." —Maryam Louise
Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes S–3X and in 16 colors).
36. A Hackwith Design House shirt, a highly rated top that's built to be worn more than five different ways — and offers the same coverage as a sweater but with a lighter feel. If "adaptability" is your love language, this bb matches that criteria. So if you reeeally think about it — it's like paying less than 25 bucks each for five or six different tops 🤷♀️. We don't make the rules.
Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small business that creates made-to-order apparel. This shirt can be worn as a V-neck, off-the-shoulder, boatneck, V-back, and even open as a jacket. And the color is simple, which means it can be paired well with many different bottoms.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart says: "I have this shirt and I *love* it. All credit for its discovery goes to TikToker @jennifer.bianca who I happened to stumble across on my FYP. It checks all my boxes: black, comfortable, versatile, and durable. My initial worry was that I wouldn't feel secure in it (I have a 38DDD chest and most wrap tops/dresses I've tried haven't stayed where they're supposed to), but I haven't had an issue with this! I've worn it tied in the front giving me a square neck (like the middle picture) and tied in the back giving me a V-neck up front (just like the photo on the right) — both were super comfortable, and I didn't have to adjust myself at all. As someone whose weight fluctuates, I also appreciate that this piece can handle pounds gained and lost. The fabric is medium weight, so I'll be wearing it season to season, and there's just enough elasticity in the arms that if you roll up your sleeves, they won't fall back down. All that is to say trust that I will be buying additional colors!"
Get it from Hackwith Design House for $125 (available in sizes XS–4X and in five colors).
