Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A regal metallic pleated maxi skirt with an elastic waist, because who says glam and comfy can't mix? This will give new, sparkly life to any — and I mean any — top in your closet.
For example, I am living for the way the reviewer above styled it with a casual hoodie!!!!
Promising review: "The pictures do not do this skirt justice. I received over 20 compliments at our company Christmas party. The silver is both a light silver and dark silver at the same time and it picks up and mimics whatever color you put with it. It’s the perfect complement to any top!!" —Teri M
Get it from Amazon for $28.69 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in eight colors and knee- or ankle-length).
2. Truly drool-worthy cargo pants featuring leopard, palm tree, and sun patches that are simply so cute, I think they're about to turn me into a cargo pants person...
3. Gorgeous colorful striped slingbacks sure to have your plain pumps banished to the back of your closet.
Promising review: "I was hopeful these cute, colorful shoes would fit my (slightly) wide, size 10 or 11 feet and THEY DO!!! They’re comfortable for an evening even, but wearing them all day was too much for me. They were well packaged and are more well-made than I expected. I'm very impressed and I’d totally recommend these heels!" —Margaret Green
Get them from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in sizes 5–13 and in five colors).
4. Versatile and glitzy celestial ear jackets with optional cascading stars in the back. Rock 'em with the fringe for a bold statement, or wear just the front for a simpler stud that still packs a punch. Either way, your lobes will look ~out of this world~.
Promising review: "These are absolutely beautiful, and clever with the post being falling stars. The stud sits comfortably and is lovely. Not gaudy or tacky in the least. I’m thrilled with them — and the price? If you are charmed by the picture you won’t be disappointed! They’re beautiful!" —Amyss
Get them from Amazon for $8.66+ (available in two colors).
5. A pair of cow-print pants that'll finally mooootivate you to try out this super fun trend. Now this is what I call ranch dressing.
Promising review: "I am my younger self's icon. WARNING: only buy these pants if you are comfortable receiving compliments from groups of middle school girls. Also the occasional mooing from your boyfriend. :) These pants are absolutely lovely. The fabric is more canvas like than it is jean, but it totally works with the style." —Maria
Get it from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and 23 styles).
6. A fun oversized cardigan for anyone who is so into the bow trend, but looking for a unique way to rock it. This will scratch that itch and be oh-so-cozy, too. And OMG, there's a dog version of this to MATCH WITH YOUR PUP!!!!
Lisa Says Gah is a small business known for quirky and fashion-forward finds.
Promising review: "Perfect fit, soft, and cute. I got this as part of the Little Beast collab and the sweater is really cute. It's pretty soft while being good quality. I’m very sensitive to sweaters but this doesn’t bother or itch me at all. I’m in love with the bow design 🎀🥰." —Nicole K.
Pre-order it from Lisa Says Gah (expected to ship Feb. 20–March 5) for $148 (available in sizes XS/S–XL/2XL and in four prints).
7. A hot hot hot lace-up detail denim mini dress you can style a zillion ways — with or without tights, with bold shoes and jewelry, or with simple and minimal accessories because the cool corset-like embellishments make it a statement all on its own ❤️🔥.
Promising review: "Best dress 👗 😍. This dress is everything. I wear a size XS and I have a hard time finding dresses and this one fits like a glove! Wish they made it in more colors!" —Laura B.
Get it from Forever 21 for $35.54+ (originally $44.99+; available in two colors and in sizes XS–XXL here and 0X–4X here).
8. A knockout one-piece swimsuit very worthy of the suitcase space on your next trip (even if you buy/pack several colors). Why? Because it's beloved by over 8,000 people and guaranteed to make you look pinup perfect.
Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on this swimsuit.
Promising review: "This is the most perfect bathing suit. I'm about 200 pounds, wear a 16/20 depending on brand, and have a VERY difficult time finding bathing suits that fit the way I want. I took the advice of other reviewers and purchased the XXXL. IT BLEW ME OUT OF THE WATER, HOLY HECK!!! The fit is, in a word, perfect. I'm very glad the bust area has more fabric, as previous reviews have stated, since I'm not even close to lacking in that department. I may just buy this in every color." —Emma Maas
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 24 prints, colors, and styles including some with criss-cross straps).
9. A beyond-glam faux-fur jacket ~fur~ anyone who loves to feel fancy but also insists on being cozy 24/7. It'll look so fashion-blogger-level fabulous tossed over a fancy dress *or* with jeans and heeled boots.
Promising review: "I love this jacket and I have gotten so many compliments. It does not look cheap at all. It can be worn with an elegant dress or dressed down with jeans. It is super soft and warm! My only complaint is the sleeves are a little long on me, but I just rolled them under and you can't tell at all." —Peggy Vetter
Get it from Amazon for $55.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 13 colors).
10. A super cute, Y2K-esque floral nylon bag with an optional crossbody strap (because practicality is important, too, not just cuteness...I guess). The most basic outfit suddenly becomes 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 with this baby.
Get it from Asos for $49.
12. A glam sequined bomber jacket with the perfect 1989 (Taylor's Version) vibes. You'll likely find yourself rocking it and replicating her tour moves in your bedroom mirror. ~I wish you would.~
Promising review: "FUN! Fun! FUN! So many compliments received wearing this jacket out on the town to a rock concert. Once the lights were dimmed, I was shining brightly like a twinkling star! LOVED IT. My only complaint would be the sequins kept snagging one another in the arms. I just got to the point were I tugged it enough to rip the connection and went about my business. For the price, it's fun. If I had spent $100 or more and the problem existed, I would send the merch back. For the price, I can manage. It's fun. It's funky. It's fresh! Haters gonna hate...LOVERS WILL LOVE." —Joanna 0216
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 29 colors).
13. Adorable over-the-knee animal socks who can't wait to peek out from your fave tall boots.
Promising review: "These socks are just as adorable in person as they are in the photo. And they're warm, which is good because I'm always cold! The material is soft, but sturdy, and a lot thicker than I expected them to be, and they have a bit of a stretch to them." —Dru
Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five animals)
14. A dreamy tulle midi skirt, aka the fashion item you're probably already fantasizing about twirling in. Tuck in a sleek top and add heels to make it dressy, of course, but also don't be afraid to pair it with graphic tees, moto jackets, sneakers, and combat boots! Life in tulle — it's fantastic.
Promising reviews: "This is great evening/party attire. This is a great A-line circle skirt. I bought the black version for a holiday party. I got many compliments. I’m a size 18 and bought the 3X. It fit perfectly, and hit me just below the knee and had excellent poof!" —Margeaux Chavez
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–5X and in 44 colors).
15. Or a ruffled tulle skirt with a comfy elastic waist, because IMHO a tulle midi should be considered just as much of a wardrobe staple as a white tee or LBD. I said what I said.
It runs big according to reviewers!
Promising review: "Like many of you, I stared at this skirt forever. Buy it. It is a statement piece. It is unique. It is light, versatile, and comfy! The waistband will not squeeze you. In love!" —natamach
Get it from Anthropologie for $158 (available in sizes XXS–3X and XS–XL petite and in three colors).
16. Scene-stealing funky-framed sunglasses, which — warning — might get you mistaken for a celebrity.
Promising review: "I absolutely adore these shades. They have such a rich, sophisticated, and classy look. They have an extremely sturdy construction, with a good weight to them, and are trendy. The packaging was great; the magnetic case, insert, and dust cloth make you think you paid $100+, but I only paid $15. 😊 Well worth it and I would buy again." —Msjayyb
Get them from Amazon for $12.98 (available in 10 styles).
17. A SUBLIME fuzzy Barbie heart-shaped novelty bag that's the perfect blend of high fashion and high fantasy. Carrying this is sure to make your bold journeys into the Real World a little brighter.
Promising review: "Purchased this to go with my Halloween costume BUT it is so cute I will use it occasionally when I wear pink or want to feel a little bougie glam! Would recommend this to anyone who still has a heart for Barbie. Surprisingly it's a good size that will fit a few essentials and also has an inside zipper pocket. Love the metal wording detail on the front, the medallion on back and the Barbie silhouette zipper pulls. The chain link strap and pearl strap are both very sturdy to support your carrying preference. The purse doesn't open exceptionally wide, which may be a drawback to some but overall, don't skip this one!!" —Divamommy11
Get it from BoxLunch for $41.94 (originally $69.90).
18. A super fun crop top and skirt set you may have to plan a warm-weather vacay for just so you'll have have a chance to wear it before spring. After all, it basically makes taking an OOTD pic *required* — your favorite style Instagrammer has met their match.
Some reviewers say you can size down! And psst — you can also break up the top and skirt to create tons of outfits with pieces already in your wardrobe.
Promising review: "I am EMOTIONAL about how great this is. But I want to wear this every day. If I were in a cartoon, I would want this to be the outfit that I have a closet full of. I have G-cup boobs, and tube tops are my own personal hell. BUT, somehow, this sat just right. I wore a strapless bra under it, and I'm just so excited to wear this out. Did I mention the skirt is perfect? It’s kinda long, but I wore it with some platform-y wedges and it made it look even cuter! Who gave me permission?!" —Sara
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 15 prints).
19. A professional-but-not-boring military jacket to top off jeans, dresses, skirts, dress pants, and all your casual outfits in ~general~.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up!
Promising review: "I got this jacket today and I love it. I ordered a large and it fits exactly as expected. The green color is rich and the jacket is rather light, which is fine with me because I’m always warm. It’s meant to be worn open, but it can be fastened in the middle of necessary. I’d buy another in a heartbeat." —Paula Kruchowski
Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in nine colors and prints).
20. Some show-stopping croc-effect silver cargo pants for a look that's a one-way ticket to being your own style icon, you crocodile rockstar, you.
Rebdolls is a woman- and Latine-owned small business.
Promising review: "The best-fitting pants EVER!!! Amazing fit REBDOLLS!!! I’m smaller in the waist and blessed with booty and when I tell you these pants do not gap in the waist at all!! What so ever!!! If hesitant…..BUY ASAP!!!" —chalyn j.
Get them from Rebdolls for $79.90 (available in sizes S–5X).
21. A clever turtleneck sweater shrug you can use to make pretty much any top or dress cold-weather friendly. This'll cement your place in the creative fashionista hall of fame.
Promising review: "The Turtleneck Sweater Sleeve Scarf is the best way to wake up your tops! I wore it with a cheetah print T-shirt and a black pair of jeans with a great pair of combat heels. Everywhere I went; work, the store and the gas station, I received compliment after compliment. Most people liked that it was different, others liked the sleeves, and others really thought it added so much to the outfit. Buy it. You will look great and love the compliments!" —Felita E.
Get it from Eloquii for $69.95 (available in sizes 14/16–30/32 and in five colors).
22. A sleek plaid bodycon dress sure to have everyone at work or on the weekends checking you out. It doesn't need anything else to be a ~look~, but if you want extra credit, go ahead and add a belt and a red lip — you overachiever, you.
Promising review: "This is one of my absolute favorite work dresses of all time! I feel like Joan from Mad Men every time I wear it. I get compliments every time. This dress looks even better with a skinny belt, and the mock-turtleneck collar is a classy detail that pulls it all together. The fabric is stretchy enough to hug your curves, but not cheap looking. It's thin enough to be comfortable, lightweight and breathable, while still being opaque and good quality. Oh, and it doesn't wrinkle!! I'm usually a size US 14/16, and the 2XL fits me like a glove." —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and in 10 colors and prints).
23. A fuzzy fleece bucket hat for anyone who's sick of winter beanies. This trendy pick has an adjustable inner drawstring so you can get your perfect fit...to complete your perfect 'fit.
Promising review: "Very warm! I had previously purchased this same hat in black and loved it so much I just bought it again in white. I love that it is adjustable for a perfect fit. It's machine washable and -dryable...what could be better?" —Deezee
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in six colors).
24. Posh wide-leg pants ready to take crop tops and pretty much every top you'd usually tuck into jeans to new, Parisian-chic heights.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up!
Promising review: "New wardrobe staple! Awesome pants! The quality would make me think they cost more like $60–$90. I bought the tan ones and after wearing them a couple of times went back a week later and bought them in black. Now, I’m 5’6”, and normally when I buy this kind of pants they end up being wayyy too long, but these are the perfect height with 1"–3” heels! They do drag a tiny bit with flats, but I prefer small heels anyway, and it’s not a major tripping hazard or anything. Also I wear a size 10–12 normally, but ordered these in 12–14 both times. I probably could’ve gotten away with ordering a 10, but I’m glad I ordered a size up, because it is loose and has some extra room at the waist. Highly recommend! Buy different colors!" —Stephanie
Get them from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, with a few colors also available in short lengths, and in 30 colors and prints).
25. A metallic, subtly rainbow tweed button-down jacket for a glam way to dress up jeans *or* a chic way to top off an already dressy 'fit. Casual and fancy — you want a piece that can do both!
There's also a matching skirt here!
I have this and wore it multiple times over my holiday break, but I'm a firm believer that sparkles shouldn't be limited to festive occasions! I like that this jacket has just the right mix of lightweight comfort and structure — not too relaxed but not too stiff, but Goldilocks-level just right. It's super cute and compliment-worthy and could pass as something from a fancier brand! My only complaint is that the sparkly tinsel woven into the tweed can be a little itchy, but unbuttoning the cuffs helped with that. I'm also tempted to spring for this non-metallic pink houndstooth version 👀.
Get it from Loft for $64.99 (originally $170; available in sizes XXS–XXL regular and petite).
26. Fabulously high fashion-looking tiered pearl statement earrings you'll adore, but the rest of your wardrobe might not — every other piece you own is gonna get tired of being upstaged by these wonders. Face it, they're the star of the show.
Promising review: "Loved these earrings! They didn’t weigh down my ears. Very elegant as well. I would purchase again." —Brandon Adams
Get them from Amazon for $8.66.
27. A splurge-worthy but appropriately squeal-worthy Alice + Olivia denim and faux leather varsity jacket that will take the tee and leggings you wear daily to new, fashion-blogger-esque heights.
28. A gorgeous gown with removable (!!!!) balloon sleeves so you can decide how extra you want to be at your next fancy function. Whether or not you add the arm candy, you're guaranteed to steal the scene.
Promising review: "Great fit — comfy. Plus it is a statement piece." —Lindsay H.
Get it from ModCloth for $269.99 (originally $299; available in sizes 2–12).
29. A so-fun plaid denim suspender skirt with cute deets like buttons and a scalloped hem that make it totally irresistible. I foresee you tucking any and every top into this bb.
30. Seriously epic sequined lace-up booties that are essentially badass energy in shoe form, and make it physically impossible to have a boring outfit.
Promising reviews: "Hey all my size 10 divas! Listen, you want this bootie! The fit is super comfy and it really is a size 10! You know the struggle, we purchase a 10 only to see that it fits like every bit of a 9! Lol! I originally purchased a size 11 because I thought it might run small but I was pleasantly surprised that the fit is true to size! So I returned it for a 10. They are GORGEOUS! The heel is high, maybe about 4.5–5 inches, but with the platform they are easy to walk in. Trust me, you'll love them! So like I said, no buts, just buy them and thank me later! Size 10 diva out! 😉" —Lady G
"Flyness. These boots gave me my whole life." —SanTigsha Pickett
Get them from Amazon for $64.90+ (available in sizes 6–12 and in three styles).
31. A delightful rainbow striped midi skirt for the sartorial serotonin boost you so desperately need right now. Oh, and it's perfect for showing off equally fabulous shoes.
This cuteness is from The Tiny Tassel, a Black woman-owned, Charleston-based small business that specializes in cheerful accessories (often featuring, yup, tassels) and clothes (designed by the founder's mom!).
Get it from The Tiny Tassel for $75 (originally $128; available in sizes L–2XL).
32. A collared printed jumpsuit that comes with a belt so styling truly is a ~cinch~. From work to happy hour, this bb can do it all.
Reviewers recommend sizing up! Check out our full write-up on this jumpsuit for more deets.
Promising review: "Bought this for a business trip. I had a jacket on top but even without the jacket, I loved it! The belt is a nice color although a bit cheap. Cannot say I am surprised about that for the price, but the fabric and the cut were wonderful. Would likely buy another color once my size is available again!" —G
Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in seven colors and prints, plus lots more colors in a V-neck version).
33. An Elle-Woods-worthy tweed shift dress in case there was somehow any doubt left in your mind that pink = powerful.
Get it from New York & Company for $62.97 (originally $89.95; available in sizes XS–XXL).
34. An embellished, richly-hued knit sweater and skirt set for my fellow mini skirt enthusiasts who don't want to stop wearing their fave style just because it's January. And Swifties, this is giving 1989 and Speak Now vibes at the same time — IYKYK.
This cute set is from an awesome Black woman-owned, Houston-based small business!
Get it from Lilly's Kloset for $98 (available in sizes S–L).
35. Stunning sheer beaded pumps, aka the outfit-making piece your LBD (and, tbh, your ripped denim) has been dreaming of.
Get them from Betsey Johnson for $119 (available in sizes 5–12 and in three colors).
