4. A pack of cozy OTK socks that are ~begging~ to be paired with chunky loafers, lace up booties, and heeled oxfords all season long. The acrylic blend is soft and stretchy but won't lose its shape.
Promising review: "These are the best knee-high socks I've ever had. They actually stayed up, they're a nice thick material, they're comfy as hell, and they're not tight or loose. They manage to fit perfectly. These socks are much higher quality than the price you pay for them." —Neha Raghavan
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three colors).
5. A cozy sherpa jacket you'll appreciate when the temperature suddenly drops and you want something warm but also hella cute. The cotton fabric is surprisingly warm and the buttons allow you to wear it open or closed.
Promising review: "This jacket is very well constructed. The fleece is heavy and it is lined with a cotton jersey that adds another layer of wind protection and helps the jacket keep some shape. It keeps its shape more than many other shackets I’ve tried, which is great! I expect to be able to wear this in low 40ish degree temps and remain fairly warm." —Emma
Get it from Amazon for $82.40+ (available in sizes XXS–3X and in four colors/patterns).
6. A polo collared sweater that's perfectly on trend for fall and will make you feel oh-so-cozy. It's worth the splurge because it's made from 100% Inner Mongolian cashmere (aka the best of the best).
State Cashmere is a small biz founded in New York City by Hao Rone, who comes from a family of shepherds who are passionate about using sustainable practices to create their cashmere.
I own this sweater and absolutely adore it. The cashmere is soft, fluffy, and durable. I've been wearing it non-stop all month and it still looks brand new. As the weather gets colder I'm excited to layer it under my blazers and coats!! It's also worth mentioning that I'm sensitive to itchy fabrics and I can wear this without a tank top underneath. It's truly the softest cashmere I've ever owned. 😍
Get it from State Cashmere for $160 (available in sizes S–L).
7. A pair of corduroy sneakers with fuzzy sherpa lining that reviewers call "the perfect slip on." They're cute enough to wear to work but comfy enough to wear while pumpkin picking. 🎃
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 $49+ (originally $98; available in two colors and sizes 5–12).
8. A strapless sweetheart top that's bound to be a fall favorite because it looks fab tucked into jeans, waisted trousers, midi skirts, etc. The little twist at the top makes it feel extra special!
Check out a TikTok of the sweetheart tank in action.
Promising review: "True to size and perfect length. The color is the pure white I wanted and looks great with denim. The knit is soft and comfortable and still thick and stretchy, so it’s not see-through. Length works great with my-low rise jeans or can be tucked in for higher rises." —Cina
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–L and 22 colors).
9. A cashmere turtleneck sweater dress so soft and cozy it'll make your sweatpants jealous. It has long sleeves, a relaxed fit that's not too tight, and looks great with any kind of shoe.

The lining of this puffer jacket is 100% cotton and the shell is polyester (which means it's water resistant).
Promising review: "I was looking for a short puffer and had seen this one on Nordstrom but it was sold out. The coat is super warm and everything I was looking for. It is very cropped but I’ve been wearing with a longer hoodie and it’s great." —Dana Williams
Get it from Shopbop or Amazon for $159 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in two colors).
13. A turtleneck sweater shrug to transform your fall outfits and make all of your besties jealous. Throw this stylish layer over tanks, T-shirts, dresses, you name it!
Promising review: "Turtleneck sweater is very warm and cozy. The quality is good, it feels thick NOT thin and cheap. You can play around and mix it from a dainty style to down time lounging look. I will be rocking it different ways. I love how the sleeves have a fitted yet baggy bubble style..." —Eraina C.
Get it from Eloquii for $69.95 (available in sizes 14/16–26/28 and in four colors).
14. A lush velvet jumpsuit that frankly has no right being this fab (especially since it's under $80!!!). It's made by hand from suuuper soft velvet that drapes perfectly.
This stunning piece is hand wash only, but just look at it! Totally worth it.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this jacket! I wear it all the time and it’s perfect for all seasons and most all occasions. It was definitely a splurge on my end but it was so worth it. Yes it’s stiff at first but more use of it makes it mold to your body. Highly recommend this!" —Satine/Kelley

16. A collared rib-knit dress that's cute, comfortable, and machine washable. Throw it on with sneakers for a chic look that requires zero effort.
The recycled polyester and polyamide fibers add the perfect amount of stretch to this dress. Because of the added stretch you might want to size down.
Promising review: "This dress fits great. I usually wear a small but decided to size down and I'm glad that I did. I’m 4”11 so it was a bit long but that’s nothing heels can’t fix. Perfect piece for fall outfits." —H&M Reviewer
Get it from H&M for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in three colors).
17. A dreamy peasant-style V-neck sweater with ribbed trim around the cuffs, V-neck, and bottom hem. It's slightly cropped so if you love an oversized fit, reviewers recommend sizing up!

19. A pair of faux leather leggings that reviewers say are identical to the Spanx version (which retails for $98) but wayyy cheaper. They're high-waisted, buttery soft, and super comfortable.
Promising review: "These leggings fit very well and the quality is very good. I can barely tell the difference between these and my Spanx, although I can move a little better in these than I can my Spanx. They are perfect for everyday wear, running errands, working out and even for going out at night. I get compliments on them all the time. They are flexible and stylish. These leggings are definitely worth the price. I purchased a medium and they fit as expected. I could have probably gone with a small, but I didn't want them to fit too tight." —Lisa A.
Get it from Amazon for $66.99+ (available in sizes XS–4X and in four colors).
20. A form-fitting jumpsuit perfect for days when you don't feel like putting in a ton of effort but still wanna look 💯💯. The polyester material is stretchy, comfortable, and breathable — a true wardrobe trifecta.
Just note that you might want to choose your undergarments wisely, as reviewers say the material is on the thinner side.
Promising review: "I love this one-piece! It’s comfortable enough to just throw on and go, yet cute enough to dress up for a night out. I ordered black and it fits like a glove ☺️ It has a lot of stretch to it. I will be ordering more colors." —Quadirah
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 26 designs).

Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 26 colors/patterns).
22. A pair of faux-fur lined Dr. Martens boots, which walks the line between practical and cute with its durable leather construction and soft lining. My apologies to all of your other shoes now feeling left out.
Promising reviews: "I’m obsessed with these boots!!! Super stylish and cute at the same time. You won’t regret it. The fit is true to size I wear a size 8 in which I bought a size 8 in these and fits perfectly!! Best investment by far I’m ready to take the streets of NYC with these babies :)" —Mel
"Perfect boots for any weather! They're nice and cozy on the inside for rainy days but stylish enough to wear with other outfits. The grip on these is also perfect for walking around in heavier conditions while still being a lighter boot you can walk around in all day. I found these fit true to size, but if you’re planning on wearing thick socks with them, maybe size up." —Nancy R.
Get it from Amazon for $133.99+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in five colors).
23. A faux shearling jacket that will keep you warm and look good doing it. Reviewers recommend sizing up if you plan on layering.
Promising review: "I thought it was time to review this jacket considering I just placed my second order for another color a year later, and I literally have a hard time convincing myself to wear any other jacket but this one. It's oversized but not HUGE, so warm and comfy, looks cute for going out, going to work, wearing over workout clothes, literally anything. I live in San Francisco so this is the perfect nighttime jacket year round. Only thing I will warn is that the darker colors tend to look a little dirtier as lint and things get stuck in the fabric and don't really come out in the wash. It's just the nature of the teddy fabric so I don't really mind, but just a heads up! BUY THIS JACKET." —Allie
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and in 35 colors).
24. A cropped sweater tank you'll no doubt want to live in. Pair it with leggings or distressed denim for a more casual look, or style it with the matching cardigan and shorts for a movie night at home.
Promising reviews: "Very cute and comfortable! Thicker material versus some other sets. Top is short but the bottoms are high cut and flexible so they fit together well!" —C. Larson
"This is the perfect fall sweater set! I love that the top and cardigan can be worn separately or with other pieces, making it super versatile. Each piece washed well and is very soft and comfortable. Would definitely buy in another color. Also, I sized up in the knit tank so that it fits less like a bra top and it ended up being a perfect crop!" —Amazon Reviewer
Get it from Amazon for $29.90 (available in sizes XXS–5X and in four colors).
25. An unbelievably soft turtleneck sweater dress that will have you wishing for colder temps so you'll have an excuse to wear it. Reviewers love styling this dress with sneakers or booties, and recommend adding a belt for a little extra flair!
