Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A chic cropped faux fur aviation jacket, which is about to become a staple for you this fall. You can easily dress it up with a skirt or keep it casual with some leggings and boots. You'll be extra cozy bundled up in the faux fur lining.
Get it from Nasty Gal for $73.50 (originally $105; available in sizes 14–20).
2. A heated jacket so even the coldest of people (🙋♀️) can be warm enough to enjoy the time outside with friends. Personally, I know the struggle of wearing like four layers and still freezing even while everyone else seems to be living their best life, so this honestly would be a game changer.
Check out the heated jacket in action on TikTok!
The jacket has a rechargeable battery that will last 10 hours as well as three heat settings so you can decide if it's just a brisk wind or you're basically in the arctic. Plus it's machine washable and has a detachable hood.
Promising review: "I was honestly kind of skeptical about this at first because it took a bit of time to heat up all the way, but once it did I was absolutely in love. It gets so warm and is absolutely perfect. It’s very very well made and luxurious feeling. 10/10." —Ezra Adair
Get it from Amazon in two styles: $159.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and four colors) and $159.99 (available in men's sizes S–3XL and three colors).
3. A super soft popcorn yarn cardigan that's the closest you're gonna get to a socially acceptable way of wearing an ultra-comfy robe out in public. And when you finally get back home, just imagine how cozy it'll be to snuggle up with this sweater on the couch. 🥰
Promising review: "I love it! It is the perfect weight and is VERY soft! Will be good for fall, winter, and spring, but is also good for cool mornings or evenings in summer. It came shrink wrapped and smelled a little strong. I machine washed on gentle and laid flat to dry. Washed beautifully! Looks great! Glad I bought two!! :)." —Cindylou
Get it from Amazon for $40.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 32 colors).
4. A classic London Fog trench perfect for throwing on top of whatever outfit you already have planned for the day when you need some extra warmth but don't wanna go ~full puffer~ mode.
FYI! This is available for Prime Try Before You Buy!
Promising review: "This trench coat is well constructed and very high quality. It looks great over formal attire but can also elevate a casual look. It has a slightly loose fit, as expected with this style, but can be cinched with the belt. It’s lightweight, making it ideal for spring or fall. Just enough to cut the chill and keep you dry in the rain, but not overly warm. This is my second LF trench, the first had a plaid flannel lining which — while very soft and pretty — always made me sweat. This one is perfect!!" —Ash
Get it from Amazon for $93.11+ (available in two colors and sizes XS–3X).
5. A splurge-worthy chunky cardigan adorned with adorable little pumpkins so you can showcase your fave season by wearing your fave sweater. Each sweater is completely handmade, so when people ask where it's from, you can feel extra boujee when you say it was customized for YOU.
Oorgubutik is a family-owned small business based in Istanbul, Turkey that sells handmade cardigans, sweaters, and cropped tops. It's run by a mother and daughter duo — the daughter comes up with the designs, and mom knits them.
Promising review: "I LOVE my new pumpkin sweater! Just in time for my favorite season! I can dress it up or down, the communication from the seller was fantastic, quick to respond, and the quality is exceptional! I will definitely be buying another sweater soon!" —Rebecca
Get it from Oorgubutik on Etsy for $130.90+ (originally $238+; available in sizes S–4X).
6. A color-block blazer to give you a statement piece so you literally don't even have to worry about whatever else you put on. Everyone is gonna be so infatuated with this blazer they prob wouldn't notice if you were wearing 10-year-old sweatpants with it.
Promising review: "This blazer is just perfect. It’s one of the first things I bought from Eloquii, and I was sold. The fabric is so high quality, and it’s very well-made. I get more compliments on this than just about anything else I wear." —Momany
Get it from Eloquii for $149.95 (available in sizes 14–28 and in two colors).
7. A button-down cropped corduroy shacket that is basically "fall" in a jacket. Reviewers are loving that it looks like it should cost more than it does.
Promising review: "This shacket is exactly what I was looking for. Super comfy, not super heavy, and a great color and fit. Doesn't fit super oversized that you feel like you're swimming in it. But is a super comfortable jacket with a T-shirt or tighter fitted shirt underneath. Looks great. Had lots of compliments on it when I wore it." —McKenzie Merritt
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 17 colors/patterns).
8. A fuzzy, patchwork hooded jacket, which looks like it would feel like a warm, cozy hug. Pop this on when you're feeling chilly and you'll be as cozy as if you were wearing a blanket.
Promising review: "I love this jacket! I get compliments on it everywhere I go. I got the blue one, and I’m going to get another one in pink. It’s so light, yet very warm. I love that the inside is the same soft fuzzy as the outside. No cold inner liner against you. I like that it goes past my waist and bottom. No riding up and drafts getting in at the waist." —Karen M.
Get it from Amazon for $39.98 (available in sizes S–XXL and 15 colors).
9. A quilted puffer coat for the fall days that feel like they could really be classified as winter days. And this isn't your typical puffer coat that makes you look like a giant marshmallow, it's actually stylish!!
FYI! This is available for Prime Try Before You Buy!
Promising review: "I'm so in LOVE with this jacket. I got mine in black in size large so I could wear sweaters/sweatshirts underneath, and it fits perfectly. This is so comfortable and keeps me warm. I love how it zips up a bit near the neck, and the wrist material is really nice, too. Really good material and durability. I wear this all the time. I'm getting this jacket in at least two more colors." —Brianna B
Get it from Amazon for $67.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 13 colors).
10. A zip-up with a satin-lined hoodie so you can put your hood on for extra warmth without worrying about messing up your hair or ending up with a giant frizz ball when you finally take it off.
Unikusa is a small biz based in Los Angeles, California that creates women's and children's clothing.
There are hidden pockets inside that are perfect for travel!
Promising review: "Amazing, super soft, and warm. Satin hood is great, super roomy for really big hair. Color exactly as pictured. I got a large for an oversized fit, and it was perfect." —Melanie Yunes
Get it from Unikusa on Etsy for $26.99 (available in sizes S–XL and five colors).
11. A stylish shawl collar coat for a different silhouette if you need to mix up what's in your closet.
It's 60% wool and 40% polyester. Reviewers recommend sizing down. And it is available for Prime Try Before You Buy!
Promising review: "Love this so much!!!! The sleeves and shoulders/upper back are a little too snug/tight, but everything else fit just right. I bought two so far, and plan to get as many as I can in my size! I get so many compliments when I wear them. The best part is that it’s not just fashionable, it’s also very warm! I love the pockets, and I love, love, love the broad collar!" —Rev Cass
Get it from Amazon for $79.90 (available in sizes XXS–3XL and in 11 colors).
12. Thermal workout leggings to keep your lower half nice and toasty because we always think about wearing coats but never anything to protect our legs?! Like I can't be the only one who is overheating on the top but is basically numb from the waist down?!
They're made with moisture-wicking, brushed fabric that prevents you from feeling too cold and sweaty during workouts.
Promising review: "Ran a size small for me, but quality and warmth perfect. Wore them for cycling in cooler fall weather and these pants (as well as the top from Bayleaf) kept me nice and warm. Pants felt so soft and snuggly in the inside lining. Very comfortable." —Daisy
Get them from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors).
13. A button-up oversized blazer for a more lightweight warmth that'll keep your fit looking as trendy (if not trendier) as it did before you put it on. Seriously, blazers are all the rage, so this is your sign to finally cave and grab one.
Promising review: "Fantastic quality blazer! I get compliments whenever I wear it! I’m about 5’4”, and it hits me below the hip about one-quarter way down to my knee. It’s made of a nice, thick material. Great for transitioning into fall or spring. My only gripe is that the front pockets are fake (they don’t open), but I’m used to that on women’s clothes at this point so this blazer still gets five stars." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $37.50 (available in sizes S–L and 17 colors).
14. A zippered cardigan with a hood, which is handmade in Ireland, to add a little twist to your classic sweater by actually being able to close it instead of having to constantly hold it closed when you want that extra heated insulation.
Kate Irish Tweed Store is a small biz based in Ireland that sells handmade wool sweaters, scarves, shawls, throws, and more.
Promising review: "Gorgeous! Fit is perfect! I can't wait to take it on my cruise to Alaska! I'll be stylishly warm!" —Linda
Get it from Kate Irish Tweed Store on Etsy for $124.96+ (available in sizes XS–2XL).
15. A handcrafted hooded leather bomber jacket so you can finally complete your jacket collection with the leather jacket of your dreams. Not to mention this one isn't some cheapo quality that will fall apart after a few wears, it's actually made with high-end materials and crafted one at a time so you know you're investing in a forever piece.
The Jacket Maker is a small, direct-to-consumer business! These investment-worthy pieces are handmade from top-notch raw materials. Custom sizing is available, too, so you can ensure your jacket fits perfectly.
Promising review: "The jacket that we received is beautiful. The extra little touches such as the garment bag make this purchase stand out from others. Thank you for a great jacket." —Robert McWhirter
Get it from The Jacket Maker for $295 (available in sizes XXS–3XL or made to measure for an additional $50, and three colors).
16. A vintage floral jacket perfect for the out-of-the-box fashionistas who are sick of only seeing neutrals everywhere. This oversized padded coat is going to be the standout piece of the season.
17. An asymmetric long velvet jacket to add a little ~pizazz~ to your ensemble with unique textures and layers. Imagine strutting up to the Thanksgiving table wearing this — jaws will be dropping.
Promising review: "Wow! I just got this and wore it for the first time today, and I've had three strangers and numerous friends compliment it already. I can't remember getting this much notice from any clothing I've ever worn! It's soft, fits as expected, and it is DRAMATIC. I got a small, and it's loose, flowy, and light. It hits right at the top of my thigh." —Lady
Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 12 colors).
18. A Columbia fleece jacket when you're more focused on warmth than fashion statements. This will be a staple piece that you just throw on to get from point A to point B OR, for the more ~adventurous~ folks, this is a great option for hikes on chilly fall days.
FYI! This is available for Prime Try Before You Buy!
Promising review: “This is one of my favorite little light jackets I've ever owned. It's made well, fits great, and is easy to match with daily outfits or to layer under heavy coats when it's really cold out. It's perfect for running errands, ball games, walks in the park, etc. when the weather is between 55–65 degrees. If it's colder, I wear a long-sleeve shirt underneath, though I usually need something heavier than this when it's colder than 45 — especially if it's windy! This jacket doesn't have a hood, but it has cinched wrist cuffs, and the hem of the jacket can be cinched, too. The zipper is good quality, and even the pockets have zippers. The material is soft and cozy, and I expect this piece to hold up well over time and periodic washings." —Baj G.
Get it from Amazon for $52.53+ (available in sizes XS–3X, regular or petite, and a wide variety of colors).
19. A cozy blanket sweatshirt for those extraaa chilly days when the cold is seeping its way into your house and regular blankets just aren't cutting it. Toss this on and fully cocoon yourself into it — this is the best way to experience a fall movie marathon.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd has one and says, "I LOVE this thing. It allows you to literally wrap yourself in a blanket, but still be able to use your hands, without your poor arm suffering in the cold breeze. I wear this while working from home, watching Netflix, and while taking naps. It's so comfy that there have been times I don't want to take it off when I have to run to the store — the only reason I do is because I don't want it to get dirty. I can't imagine one person who wouldn't be happy to have this wonderful bundle of coziness."
Promising review: "My husband is terribly hard to buy for, so most gifts end up returned or exchanged. Because he is always cold due to health issues, I thought this Comfy might be just the thing to make him — well, more comfy! I read the reviews, and with high hopes, I bought him one. It arrived in the mail the next day, and he was pretty skeptical as we opened the box. I insisted that he try it on for at least a little while, and it turns out he couldn't be happier with it! He tells me he hasn't been so warm and cozy for years now. This is a double bonus for me — not only is he more comfortable, but it is the first gift in a long time that isn't being shipped back! The Comfy is super soft, just the right length to not tangle around his legs, and with the front pocket and hood, it keeps him warm no matter how cold he was when he put it on. This is a terrific product for yourself or someone you love!" —Dee Heinrich
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in 24 styles, including pullover or quarter zip options).
20. An open-front blanket shawl that's reversible (!!) so you're really getting two coats for the price of one…so basically, you're losing money if you don't buy it (#girlmath). But seriously, this is the ultimate outer layer because it hovers on the line between blanket and cloak, aka you can wear it draped over your shoulders at your event and then snuggle up underneath it on your drive home…you get the best of both worlds. 🎶
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 $29.69+ (available in 26 styles).
21. A zip-up rib knit hoodie for a ~chic~ twist on the traditional zip-up hoodie you've been sporting for probably half a decade by now.
Many reviewers say this style runs big, so if you want a more fitted look, consider ordering a size down.
Promising review: "I needed a jacket to wear at work over my scrub top that wasn’t too thin or too bulky but still kept me warm. This jacket is perfect! The material is heavier than I expected, but I actually prefer it! Very soft and comfortable. 10/10 would buy in another color!" —J.H
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 21 colors).
22. A double-breasted peacoat, which I feel like is the ~classic~ fall coat everyone pictures first. With the wool blend, side pockets, removable belt, and button closure, what more could you want in a coat?!
PS — This is available for Prime Try Before You Buy!
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS COAT SO MUCH! I wanted something that would give me some breathing room, and this coat does that. It’s easy to move in, and it makes me feel fancy. Also well-made and very warm! South Dakota-proof for sure. 😉" —Dwight Schrute
Get it from Amazon for $79.98 (available in sizes S–XXL and 15 colors/patterns).
23. A midweight hoodie for the days when it's a liiiittle warmer but you still have a bit of a chill and want something cozy to toss on.
This is the perfect mid-weight hoodie for fall days when you don't really know how to predict the temperature, like it's gonna be 60º in the morning but go up to 75º a few hours later…what are you supposed to do with that?! It is sooo comfy and soft. And unlike most of my other sweatshirts, it seems to be just a little more fitted for a bit of a structured look. Like you could wear it and seem more put together than some other regular hoodies. The v-cut on the neckline also adds a really unique touch that I like.
Get it from Public Rec for $108 (available in men's sizes S–XXL and five colors).
24. A pair of fleece-lined sweats reviewers say kept them warm even in 30-degree weather (although I seriously hope you have a while until it starts getting that cold…).
FYI — these are available for Prime Try Before You Buy so definitely check that out if you're a member!
Promising review: "So cozy! My house is an icebox in the winter and I often wear leggings under sweats and still end up shivering. But these sweats keep me sooooo warm! They are pretty bulky (my partner thought I was wearing snow pants) but I'm just wearing them around the house so I'm fine with looking like the Michelin man." —Jennifer
Get them from Amazon for $29.88+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and nine colors).
25. A teddy coat, which I personally think should be a staple in everyone's closet (I think I have like four versions of teddy coats and pullovers lol…oops). This is a great option when the temperature starts to drop but you're not willing to break out the full-on parka yet.
Promising review: "I wanted a nice, fashionable, warm coat for this fall. And I have to say, I’m obsessed with this coat! It’s exactly what I expected it to be. It looks amazing, it is easy to combine with other clothes, and it’s warm! The zipper might be a bit annoying sometimes, as it gets trapped in the fur, but with a bit of patience and technique, it will no longer be a problem. Be ready for some fur leftovers in your other clothes too, but nothing too much, in my opinion. I’ve been wearing it nonstop these days and I do not intend to stop!" —Ana Davis
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL, two styles, and 30 colors).
26. An adorable satin-lined hat to keep your head warm while also keeping your hair protected and static-free, because sometimes no matter how puffy your coat is you still feel freezing when your head is exposed to the elements. Bonus — the faux-fur pom-pom is removable for the days you're not ~feeling~ those vibes.
Honest & Faithful is a Chesapeake, Virginia-based small business that also makes their popular satin-lined hats for kids!
Promising review: "I have purchased several of these hats for both myself and friends and family. We all love them. They are just what we need to protect our hair. I love the color options, too." —Adenah
Get it from Honest & Faithful on Etsy for $20.50 (available in nine colors).
27. A Lululemon Pack It down jacket that is surprisingly warm for how thin it seems. Plus, it packs down into a small bag for those days when the temperature just cannot decide what it's doing and you start to overheat while you're running errands but don't want to be stuck with a coat tied around your waist for hours.
I personally own this Lululemon jacket and I can honestly tell you that it is one of my favorite jackets. It looks and feels a little bit thinner than other winter coats, but it is *shockingly* warm, without the bulky feeling some other jackets have. The biggest benefit to this jacket is that it comes with a bag attached inside the pocket and the jacket literally folds up and fits inside this tiny bag (hence the name)!! It has been so convenient for traveling so I can pack it into my suitcase without worrying about all the space it is going to take up. I absolutely love this jacket and I recommend it constantly.
Promising review: "The jacket fits perfectly and the design is very appealing. It has nice deep pockets and a secret pocket I use to keep change in. I received compliments on the color. I would definitely recommend this product." —Karen
Get it from Lululemon for $198 (available in sizes 0–14 and three colors).
28. A gorgeous blue cardigan to make into a wardrobe staple when you need something quick to throw on now that the temperatures are starting to drop.
Get it from our Goodful shop for $279 (available in sizes S/M–L).
