BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says, "I bought this allllll the way back in 2019 and it's SO WARM!!!! I truly live in it all winter, and so do half the people I know at this point."
Promising review: "Let me start by saying, my husband says that I am obsessed with coats. Out of probably 20 winter coats, this is now my absolute favorite! I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this coat; I love everything about it! The quality is outstanding! I have had every expensive brand-name winter coat, but have never ever had one that has kept me this warm! I'm not even looking forward to the warmer months because I don't want to put this coat away!! Every time I wear it, I get at least one, 'I love your coat!'" —Suzi Linthorst

Promising reviews: "So soft! These are 10/10 and I would buy again. The stitching is great quality. The lining is so comfortable and soft. I haven’t taken them off since they came in today. I’ve never written a review before, but these pants deserve it." —Amazon Customer
"I bought these for my daughter who’s in Iowa for college. She loves them. They kept her warm during winter. I’ll definitely buy her more next winter." —ynsmom
Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 12 colors).
3. A turtleneck sweater dress made for picturesque outdoor photoshoots and other events where you want to look chic but feel cozy as heck. This versatile piece will help you transition your fall wardrobe into winter, letting your legs breathe while keeping you warm up top — and on extra chilly days, just pop on some tights or leggings and you're good to go.
These are popularly worn with knee-high boots if you're skipping tights/leggings!
Promising review: "The best winter cozy dress. Omg where do I start. I’m usually a L, but I ordered an XL because I was worried about the length. I love this dress. It’s so big and chunky and cozy but also super sexy!!! The pockets are amazing and the material isn’t itchy at all. It looks great paired with tall boots, but I’m sure you could rock some leggings and ankle boots and it would look just as amazing. Totally worth the price. It is baggy for sure, but I anticipated that when I ordered one size up so I could get the length I wanted. I want one in EVERY COLOR. Another Amazon win!" —Ashlee
Get it from Amazon for $33.59+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 38 colors).
4. A splurge-worthy pair of rip-resistant Sheertex polka dot tights you'll be reaching for again and again once you put them to the test and see how durable the material is — there's nothing worst than finding one of those dreaded runs in your tights right before the fam's annual holiday photo!
These are designed with a comfortable 4-inch waistband that lightly compresses but doesn't dig in painfully like some tights.
Promising reviews: "These are no doubt priced at the top of the market, but they are worth the premium charge. They are durable and a quality product, and unlike any other tights I have purchased where I only get one, maybe two, wears before I put a run in them, I am five wears in with my Sheertex with no noticeable decrease to the quality. I would definitely recommend the investment!!!" —Jacqueline L.
"They are super durable!!! Played tug of war with my dog with the swatch of fabric that came with it, and was super impressed that they didn't tear lol. Also can we talk about how cute the polka dots are!?" —Lori C.
Get them from Sheertex for $48 (originally $69; available in sizes XS–3XL). Psst — you can check out the full Sheertex collection for more rip-resistant styles!
5. And a pair of fleece-lined thermal tights for when you want to wear a dress or skirt but it's cold enough to see your breath outside. These will let you rock your winter 'fits exactly the way you want without your legs turning into icicles.
Note that these are opaque, not sheer!
Promising review: "The warmest tights ever. I have several pair of fleece tights, but these are by far the warmest. I live in Kansas, so it is common for us to have 20mph north winds during the winter. A 40-degree day can feel like 20 degrees and a 20-degree day can feel like 0 or below. I usually wear skirts or dresses to work so I need something warm on my legs. These tights paired with a skirt and boots are warmer than a pair of pants. They are also very soft and comfortable and fit great. I have a hard time finding tights to fit properly because of my long legs. A lot of tights are either too short and sag in the crouch area or come all the way up to my neck, but these don't do either. I just ordered another pair and will most likely order a third pair in another color." —Cindy Henley
Get them from Amazon for $19.97 (available in sizes S–XL, six colors, and in two-packs with various color combos).
6. Plus, a pair of plaid tartan tights that are like a cozy sweater for your legs! They're warm and thicker than your average tights, so they're ready for any cold weather adventures — and with a print this bold, you'll want to plan your whole outfit around them.
Promising review: "Perfect tights for New England winters. Absolutely love these tights! They did not roll down, which made me happy to not be fussing with pulling them up all day long. They are super comfortable, high quality, thicker knit, but not so thick that they would feel too bulky under slacks. The colors are exactly what I was looking for! I am so pleased with these tights that I totally plan my outfits around them now." —Ducky
Get them from Amazon for $21.95 (available in sizes S–XL and six colors).
7. Or a longer fuzzy fleece open-front coat that'll come down to about your knees if you really like to wrap up — almost like a cozy bear hug. It'll be the perfect extra layer to throw on for those transitional early days of winter when you *really* don't want to overheat.
FYI, this coat is available with Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
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 $42.49+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 25 colors).
8. A faux-shearling pullover stylish and warm enough to wear out and about...but also comfy enough to pull on over your PJs while you're bingeing that new Netflix drama. Basically, you'll want to live in this thing (and probably buy one in every color).
FYI, this top is available with Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "Bought it in three colors because I love it so much. It is thick enough to not let much cold air/wind in, but thin enough that I don't get hot indoors — if those two things can simultaneously exist. I LOVE the fact that you can zip it up all of the way and protect your chest and neck from the cold, but unzip it indoors and have an open neck shirt. This is definitely one of my best winter purchases for this season. I love love love it!!!" —AKH
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and 22 colors).
9. A chic sweater with a long asymmetrical hem for anyone who basically lives in leggings all winter (it looks great with jeans too).
Note that this sweater does run big, so consider sizing down.
FYI, this top is available with Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
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
Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 33 styles).
10. And speaking of leggings: A pair of fleece-lined faux leather leggings that manage to look sexy and stylish while also keeping your legs ultra warm in the chilliest of weather. Need a dupe for those $100 Spanx leather leggings? Give these a go.
FYI, these leggings are available with Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "I purchased these faux leather leggings during a late-night Amazon shopping spree. They don't look faux at all, are well-made, and I receive compliments on them every time I wear them. They are also extremely comfortable and fit like a second skin. They are super warm so I probably would not wear in warmer weather but are perfect for the fall and winter. They shape well and stay put! There is no rolling or slipping down with these babies. Put them on and they are going to stay where you put them. I love them!" —Kelly C. Albanese
Get them from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS–4XL, including regular and tall sizes, and in six styles).
11. A sherpa sweater perfect for wearing indoors when you want to keep the heating bills down — it's so ridiculously cozy, you might just be tempted to wear it to bed.
This sweater isn't super thick, so it's not appropriate for really cold days outside, but if you live in a warmer climate, it'll be the perfect lightweight winter sweater.
FYI, this sweater is available with Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "I love this sweater so much that I purchased the gray and pink colors! I will be purchasing every color in this sweater. They’re amazing and I find any excuse to wear them. The sweater is baggy for the days you’re not feeling 100 or it looks super cute partially tucked into your jeans. 100% comfortable and if comfort is your style, this is YOUR sweater!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $33.48+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 18 colors)
12. A simple, loose cotton sweater vest for winter layering — it's basically made to be thrown over a collared shirt for an ultra-cozy and casual OOTD. You can even go up a couple of sizes to wear it as a sweater dress!
A casual collared button-down would look great with this!
Promising review: "I put this sweater vest on and fell in love. It is cotton, a good substantial material. It doesn't cling uncomfortably anywhere, and covers the hip and rear. Feels right for fall and winter. I can wear it with tons of shirts and with leggings. I ordered three more vests. The top fits great, and I have room at the hem where I am much more curvy. ❤️" —Margie
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 11 colors).
13. Or an oversized houndstooth knitted sweater-vest with major academia vibes — stylish enough for networking events or that major presentation you have to give, but cozy enough for everyday wear. You + this sweater in a coffee shop drinking a peppermint mocha = an Instaworthy aesthetic.
Pair it with a button-down shirt or semi-sheer blouse for a classic, vintage-y look that's perfect for those days when you're trying to look a bit more put-together.
FYI, this top is available with Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising reviews: "I love this vest! It gives me a total vintage look. The sweater itself is already oversized, but I wanted a looser fit, so I went a size bigger, and I am happy with how it fits. Shipping did take longer, but it was very clear at the time of purchase the expected arrival date, so that wasn’t a surprise. I'm really thinking of getting more colors!" —Levi
"This product runs a little big so be sure to consider the looser fit. That being said, the material is amazing and it is very warm and cozy. It looks really professional and clean when paired with a white button-down. I love this item." —umbo
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–L and in 12 colors).
14. A long-sleeve fisherman polo for pairing with work slacks and a warm cardigan on chilly days at the office, or style casually with jeans for a weekend hangout. This rich paprika shade is *stunning*, but this top comes in pretty much every color of the rainbow!
Big Bud Press is an ethical Los Angeles-based clothing label specializing in unisex, everyday goods.
Get it from Big Bud Press for $82 (available in sizes P–7XL; available in many colors).
15. A chunky turtleneck that'll engulf your upper body in comfort and warmth on those brisk winter mornings. Truly a classic.
Reviewers suggest sizing down if you prefer a more fitted look rather than the baggier style.
FYI, this top is available with Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this! It’s the perfect fall/winter cozy oversized cable knit sweater. Perfect length for high or mid-waisted jeans and true to size. I normally wear an 8 but went one size up for a looser fit... the medium would have been perfect for a more fitted look. Material is SO soft. Can’t wait to wear this over the holidays, looks and feels like an expensive designer one!" —Bee Dav
Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 43 colors).
16. A set of long thermal underwear to keep your whole body toasty warm. Though designed to be worn as a bottom layer in freezing cold weather, reviewers say this set is also soft and breathable enough for indoor lounging.
Though form-fitting, this set allows for full-mobility and is squat-proof. It's also moisture-wicking so you never get that sticky, clammy feeling and stay dry.
Promising review: "These are THE most comfortable long underwear! The fleece makes it so soft and comfy and warm, but for some reason you don’t get too hot indoors while wearing them. Highly recommend them!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL and 15 colors).
17. A mock-neck bodysuit to eliminate the constant retucking and adjusting that comes with wearing a normal shirt underneath a skirt or pants. This'll make achieving that fitted look effortless, and the long sleeves provide an excellent base for layering!
Be sure to reference the size chart (the last image on the listing) before ordering!
Promising reviews: "Warm, cozy, a perfect basic for your closet. About a year ago I purchased the solid turtleneck and fell in love. It is made with very warm fabric, which is perfect for our harsh winters. It is form-fitting to your body. I have purchased about four others since." —Daniela Orozco
"So I bought two black turtleneck bodysuits, one designer and this Amazon one. Honestly this bodysuit holds up wear after wear, is in perfect condition, washable, and great breathable material. Excellent quality compared to the designer one, which was $148. I ended up returning the designer. Size up though!" —Aliya Mathiesen
Get it from Amazon for $23.98+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and in 29 colors).
18. A wool blend coat if you like your outerwear to ~exude~ style — it's so chic, you'll be excited to put it back on every time you head out the door. The gorgeous plaid patterns are about as classic as it gets, and reviewers say it's as warm as it is stylish.
FYI, this coat is available with Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "I was searching for a winter coat (one that's Minnesota-appropriate) and came across this one. I thought it was beautiful in the pictures, and it seemed to have great reviews. Again, living in Minnesota, our cold is a little different than anyone else. So I put the coat in my cart and waited so I could think about it. Lo and behold, I run into a friend of mine at Whole Foods wearing this jacket! To see it in person, and she confirmed it is warm, I knew I had to have it myself. The moment it arrived and I put it on, I was more than happy with my purchase. I wore it to Thanksgiving and received all sorts of compliments. I think my grandma wants one too! Definitely recommend." —Tera Shopping
Get it from Amazon for $89.90+ (available in sizes 2XS–3XL and 11 styles, plus in a wool skirt version).
19. An oversized blanket-sweater (as seen on Shark Tank) you'll run to put on as soon as the temps start to dip. Does it look ridiculous? Maybe. Is it ultra-cozy? Absolutely.
Promising review: "A blanket sweater is one of the best ideas of all time. It’s so soft, not itchy. It's perfect for super cold weather, rainy days, lazy days. Pretty much any day. Everyone in my family is getting one for the holidays. Great gift idea. I purchased matching ones for my husband and I with the fleece inside. It’s the kindest thing you can do for yourself. My husband also enjoys it very much." —Briana
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in 17 colors).
20. A fleece hoodie dress for when you feel like wearing a dress, but your fave pair of sweatpants is also sounding tempting...it's (cue Hannah Montana) the best of both worlds 🎶. It'll be great for lounging around the house in and throwing on with when you need to run errands.
Promising review: "Holy comfy! I bought this for lounging around my home and staying warm and I couldn’t be happier with it! I live in Maine and keep my house cool. This sweatshirt dress thing is nice and thick (think old school sweats), roomy, and just perfectly comfy. Best money I’ve spent all year." —Shelby Briggs
Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and in 15 colors).
21. A faux-shearling moto jacket to be the winter-appropriate sibling to your favorite well-worn leather jacket — now you can add a little edge to your 'fit without shivering on your walk to dinner.
Some reviewers suggest sizing up if you plan on wearing bulky sweaters or have thicker arms or a larger chest. Doing so will give you a more oversized fit!
Promising review: "I purchased this jacket before my trip to Canada during winter. I honestly thought I might not be able to wear it as often. HOWEVER, it kept me really warm no matter how windy and snowy it got!! It’s beautiful and stylish, the material looks better in real life than in the picture. The inside is super soft and comfy. I would go a size up though. I had enough space to move around and wear bulky sweaters, but the sleeves are not long enough for me to roll up the sleeves like the picture. Still an amazing product, I am beyond satisfied." —Gabriela G.
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 10 styles).
22. A knit sweater you can reach for on casual days if you like to wear your heart on your sleeve...literally.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this sweater!! I think it's probably my favorite piece I have purchased the last few months. I wanted to have a bit of a baggy look and be able to wear this with leggings or a pair of jeans so I ordered a large. I just ordered another one in red and can't wait for it to get here. The material is really warm and comfy, not scratchy like I thought it would be." —Nicole Julum
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 15 colors).
23. Or a turtleneck pullover with a dreamy colorblock design and slightly oversized fit that's stylish without sacrificing comfort. Your neck will thank you for the extra warmth and protection against those biting winds!
FYI, this top is available with Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "This product is soooo cute! It is surprisingly high quality and looks high end for the price. The structure is comparable to more mid-range sweaters I have! The fit is baggy and oversized, which is perfect for wearing over leggings or for tucking into jeans. Would totally recommend this product! It’s an absolute steal for the price!" —G4
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes S-XL and 26 styles).
24. A pair of fleece-lined jeggings because anyone who's ever worn a pair of jeans in freezing cold weather knows that the icy wind seems to cut right through them (I'm shivering just thinking about it). These will let you rock your favorite denim looks all winter long since the thick fleece lining will keep your legs comfortably toasty.
Promising review: "I'd been wanting fleece-lined jeans for long time. I'm so glad I bought these. With regular jeans in winter time, the wind cuts through and your buns are cold and legs freezing. These kept me warm and the fleece is so soft. I highly recommend getting a pair or two!" —Faith
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and 44 colors).
25. A cozy corduroy button-down perfect for pairing with an eggnog latte while you wander the local shops doing some Christmas shopping. You can wear it buttoned up or over a tank top, and it comes in some cute plaid color combos too!
Promising review: "This is such a cute shacket! The fabric is thick but still very soft. The fit is loose and boxy, as you would expect a jacket to fit. I wear it layered over a graphic tee with jeans." —Michelle Roetman
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 44 colors and prints).
26. A batwing-sleeve sweater dress just begging to be worn with ankle boots on a wintry date night, since it's equal parts warm *and* sexy.
Promising review: "It's a nice dress that is perfect for holidays or dinners out in the winter. I even wore it out in Anchorage, Alaska's 7-degree weather one day with tights, and I didn't freeze to death!" —Astrid&Sven
Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 22 colors).
27. Or a ruched velvet bodycon dress when you need to make an ~impact~ at that holiday party you're invited to (that your crush may or may not also be attending). Pair it with knee-high boots, and you'll barely feel the chill.
Promising review: "This dress is truly stunning, and it’s beautifully made! It fits true to size, and the fabric feels great on your skin. I wore it to a wedding and received a ton of compliments. I’m wearing it again on Thanksgiving. This is also a great dress for a holiday party and New Year’s Eve." —Tee
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and six colors).
28. Or a velvet jumpsuit for when you want to feel luxurious but also ridiculously comfortable all night long. These gorgeous jewel tones are perfect for any winter occasion, from holiday parties to weddings.

29. A pair of flowy palazzo pants that'll have you looking polished and ready for business, but chic and on-trend at the same time. Your fitted tops, slouchy sweaters, and cutest cardigans will pair beautifully, so plan on these getting lots of wear through the winter months and beyond.
Reviewers say you might want to wear tights under them if you live somewhere super cold, but the upside is these are pants you can wear year-round.
Promising reviews: "I ended up buying five pairs in different colors and talked a friend into one. (She loves them). These are top quality. Tailored like fine trousers. Extremely comfortable, soft, flowing material. I can wear year round. Fit is perfect. Washed with no problem. I pressed a little because I like a polished look. They do not wrinkle with wearing. Bonus was they are such a good price!!!" —Chris
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, including short sizes, and 34 styles).
30. A cozy cotton sweater for days when you feel like making a *statement* — and that statement is one pretty much everybody can get behind (even I as a cat lady can admit that dogs are cool). Unlike some tight-fitting sweaters, this one has an A-line shape meant to be looser around the hips so you can stay comfy all day. It's also super breathable so you won't overheat indoors!
Shiny By Nature is a Latine- and Asian-owned small biz with a mission of inspiring people to express their ~inner shine~ through fun, colorful, and size-inclusive fashion.
Get it from Shiny By Nature for $50 (originally $90; available in sizes S–6X).

FYI, this set is available with Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "I rely heavily on retail therapy to cheer me up. What to buy when there's nothing to do and I never leave my house? A matching sweatsuit. I saw this on a BuzzFeed shopping list and now it's my go-to quarantine ensemble. I no longer look like I chose my outfit out of a gym's lost and found bin when I'm walking the dog or picking up take out. The top is cropped above the belly button so you definitely need the very high-waisted pants...no mixing and matching unless you're into showing some skin. I will be buying this in at LEAST one more color to get me through this Midwest winter." —Mary M.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 16 colors).
32. Finally, a super soft sherpa cardigan basically made for curling up by the window with a cup of tea and good book and watching the snow fall.
FYI, this cardigan is available with Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising reviews: "I like the softness and coziness in this sweater. I plan on wearing it just about anywhere, but snuggling up on the couch this winter is my first thought!" —Debra L Larsen
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 40 styles).
