Promising review: "Best sweater I own. I get so many compliments on this sweater! I was super surprised when I opened the package to find that it’s extremely soft and not made of cheap material! This pairs great with leggings, jeans, colored jeans, seriously anything! I would definitely consider purchasing another color in the future!" —Aimee Echelberger
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 29 designs).

Some reviewers recommend sizing up! Learn more about how Girlfriend Collective makes their sustainable athleisure gear here.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress. This is certainly going to be a staple piece in my wardrobe when it warms up. I love the cut of the dress as well, it’s not too short, but just short enough. The built in one-piece is great! The shorts are just long enough that I feel super comfortable." —Pilar B.

Promising review: "Holy crap, these leggings are amazing. Without exaggeration, they are the most comfortable item of clothing I've ever put on my body. I'm 5'10" and I often find 'one size' to be too short, but these fit down to my ankle. The best part is, the top doesn't roll and they don't slide down. Keeping in mind I'm wearing them during winter, they also didn't make me sweat. I didn't want to take them off. I need to order a billion pairs, including a few to wear to bed." —Avery T
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in one size fits most for straight and plus sizes and in three styles, including one with pockets, and 25 colors).
4. Slouchy overalls with roomy pockets and a lightweight fabric perfect for lounging or striking the balance of comfy and cute on the weekends — while still being extremely mirror-selfieworthy.
Some reviewers recommend sizing down, unless you're tall!
Promising review: "I never want to take them off! If you've been hesitant about whether or not to buy these, then this is your official sign to just do it!! I kept these in my 'saved for later' cart for nearly a year before finally deciding to take the leap, and oh my GOSH I am so glad I did! This is officially my favorite pair of overalls and absolutely perfect for fall. They're so comfortable, and I most certainly will be ordering more in other colors. So, if you're looking to unleash your inner painter/gardener, then this is the perfect outfit for you :D." —Nathan R Ford
Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 21 colors and prints).
5. A cropped puffer jacket, aka your winter and transitional weather staple. Buh-bye, coats that ruin the outfit.
Beginning Boutique is a woman-owned Australian shop with a huge selection of trendy clothes.
Promising review: "Love this puffer!!! So cute, such a staple!!" —Estelle J.
Get it from Beginning Boutique for $104.99 (available in sizes XXS–L and in two colors).
6. Glam faux-leather leggings that could easily pass for a pricey pair and will make everything — from sweaters to tees to going-out tops — look about a zillion times more posh.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up! You can also check out our roundup of the best faux leather leggings for more options.
Promising review: "IN LOVE!!! They aren't cheap looking at all!!! I originally bought them for a cosplay, but ended up wearing them for fashion purposes and they're a hit!!!!!! Super comfy and stretchy around the waist!!!" —Rebecca J
Get them from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and four colors).
7. An effortlessly cool shirt jacket (aka a shacket), which, as the name suggests, can be styled like a shirt or a jacket. It's basically the spork of the fashion world. Versatility, people!
Promising review: "I originally bought a large because I wanted it to fit with a little room. I ended up replacing it with a medium because it is already a loose design. I absolutely love this jacket and I have already worn it a dozen times. That's rare because as a clothing-a-holic, I have so many others to choose from." —Renee
Get it from Amazon for $25.49+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 14 colors).
8. A sleeveless, lightweight fleece jumpsuit that's perfect workout or Netflix binge attire, sure, but would also be darn cute with a faux leather jacket and sneakers or booties. In other words, not only will you never *want* to take it off, but you'll also never *have* to.
Reviewers recommend getting your usual size or sizing down if you're between sizes and/or want it more fitted. And, if you're a Prime member, you can Try Before You Buy!
Promising review: "I’m not so much into dresses except for around the house like pajamas, and sometimes I want an option that feels like a dress but allows me freer movement, and heck! Give me some pockets, too! This is absolutely perfect. You can spread your legs as much as you want, enjoy the roomy pockets, and the relaxed waist makes it feel like there’s nothing restricting you at all. This is the height of casual comfort, and it can be used around the house or for going out, and it doesn’t even look half bad when you wear the right accessories. I love it!" —Hedera Femme
Get it from Amazon for $24.40+ (available in sizes XS–6X and in 19 colors and prints).
9. A trendy oversized teddy bear coat because it's as cuddly and cute as its namesake, so you'll pop it over literally every outfit from now until the (real, not just one misleading weekend) arrival of warm weather.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up for a slouchy fit and more room to layer.
Promising review: "I was a little hesitant before purchasing as this was my first time ordering clothing from any retailer on Amazon but let me tell you I am sooooo happy that I did. This jacket is not only cute and trendy but it’s very warm and so soft! I kid you not — I wore this to a concert tonight in 30 degree weather and I feel so cozy. Would definitely buy again. I’m usually a small, I ordered a medium for a loose fit. Glad I did. Feels and looks great!" —A. Hunter
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 33 styles).
10. A super soft athleisure-inspired top that's a cute and casual basic, but that also has stitched details and a longer hemline that make it more interesting than a typical tee.
Reviewers say it fits true to size!
Promising review: "I absolutely love the way this fits me, and how soft the material is. I can easily dress this up or down and be comfy wearing it all day. The color is also stunning and there are a bunch of choices. This is going to be a go-to piece in my wardrobe." —Mandi S
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes 14–28 and in 24 colors).
11. A pair of high-rise, tie-waist pants, because who says chic officewear has to have buttons and zippers? No need to bother with any of that — just pull these babies on with a top and heels.
Promising review: "These pants are amazing! I wear them to work and get a lot of compliments. It pairs well with a bodysuit. For reference, I am 5’5” and 133 lbs — medium fit me perfectly." –Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 61 styles).
12. A faux-croc biker jacket that is the literal dictionary definition of badass — and will make you feel like one, too.
As a jacket-obsessed fashionista *and* someone who boycotts real leather for ethical reasons, I am a longtime devotee of Express faux leather jackets. The style I've been wearing for years has been discontinued (*sob*), but I was thrilled when I saw this statement-making twist in the store and knew it would become a regular in my rotation. I drool over everything about it — how it's structured but relatively lightweight, the badass biker belt, the zippers, the texture, and mainly the shoulder pads that give it a cool shape and make me feel like Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny (a forever style icon). More pluses? *Pockets* and the fact that the hardware isn't silver or gold, but just black, so it goes with more and looks extra sleek. I just brought this on a vacation to California (where it was chilly!) and wore it over a skirt, jeans, and a sparkly NYE dress, so yes it truly can do it all. 10/10 recommend playing around pairing it with soft colors like pastels and pinks for some cool contrast — the outfit above is one of my favorites I've worn maybe EVER.
Promising review: "Best jacket ever! I saw this jacket at one of the stores and immediately fell in love. The fit and the quality are perfect. My new favorite jacket this season." —Rmen90
Get it from Express for $99 (originally $198; available in sizes XXS–XL).
13. A chill yet chic hoodie dress, because athleisure can mean so much more than leggings and sweatshirts. Heck, you could even dress this up with a moto jacket and booties.
Reviewers say it runs large!
Promising review: "I am so obsessed with this hoodie dress! It is soooo comfortable but so chic. Perfect material (not normal heavy sweatshirt material) and it lays perfectly. Perfect for errands or casual days. I got a large and it fits great (I'm size 14 and DDD chest)." —Regina K.
Get it from Amazon for $12.71+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 13 colors).
14. Seriously stylish faux leather shorts that are even more of a bargain when you consider you can wear them for all seasons — they look sooooo cute with tights!
15. A rainbow striped V-neck cardigan to inject some cheer and whimsy into your winter (and spring, and fall...) wardrobe.
Get it from Loft for $74.95 (available in sizes XXS–XXL regular and petite).
16. A practically perfect pullover sweatshirt that'll make you forget the concept of "boyfriend sweatshirt" — you'll be ready to make a more serious commitment and full-on marry this baby.
Psst...this is eligible for Prime Try Before You Buy!
Promising review: "Perfect! This is so comfy I don’t ever want to take it off! It is very oversized, but after I washed it, it’s actually so perfect and I’m glad I got the large. The color and quality are amazing. It feels like it’s already been broken in. If I had a boyfriend to steal sweatshirts from, I feel like this would be it. 😂" —beautypot ✨
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in unisex sizes S–3XL and in eight colors).
17. A comfy three-quarter-sleeve dress, which is way more than three-quarters awesome. You'll give it a 4/4, 10/10, or whatever you want to call it for versatility, style, and POCKETS!
18. A sleek ribbed mock-neck maxi dress in case your idea of the perfect LBD is one that'd pair equally well with pointy pumps as it would an open flannel shirt and combat boots. Same.
Rebdolls is a woman- and Latine-owned small business based in Harlem, NY!
Get it from Rebdolls for $59.90 (available in sizes M–5X).
19. A pair of chic and chill jogger pants that might just have you labeling jeans "overrated."
And psst....we've got even more recommendations for comfy pants that *aren't* sweats!
Promising review: "I didn’t have super high expectations for these but I love them! The material is so soft and comfortable and the fit is true to size. Thin enough material that they’re not super hot, but also not see-through. The print looks just like the picture and I think they are nice enough to be worn out, not just around the house. Could be dressed up cute with a jean jacket and some heels. Definitely recommend for the price!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $30.99 (available in sizes S–4XL and in 23 styles).
20. A Speak Now pullover to get, well, *now* before Tay Tay drops her version...any day. You'll be ahead of the rush when everyone's shopping for Speak Now merch once again, plus this'll keep you warm in the nosebleeds at the Eras tour. Taylor's liner notes said it all..."I don't think you should wait."
I'm obsessed with this shop's collegiate-inspired fandom sweatshirts and tees (I'm currently wearing this one that Santa brought me). The tee I got came stiff but became super comfy and effortlessly cute after a wash, so I imagine the same would be true of the sweatshirts. I especially love the detail of the crest with a great lyric and graphic representing the theme of each song.
Promising review: "SO CUTE AND COMFY :)). I love subtle Taylor merch and the purple is gorgeous!" —Siena
Get it from Shop Eddie Lane on Etsy for $44 (available in unisex sizes S–5XL and in three colors).
21. Surprisingly affordable bike shorts, which, like any of the trusty pairs you've been living in lately, are great for wearing for workouts, while chillaxing, or under dresses. What makes these particular comfy wardrobe staples must-haves? POCKETS and over 56,000 (!!!) 5-star ratings.
These are eligible for Prime Try Before You Buy!
Promising review: "These are lifesavers. The charcoal pair is cotton and soooooo comfy for summertime. But I have multiple pairs of each color and swear by them. They are great for the gym and just wearing under dresses and skirts." —MissLee
Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 39 colors and styles, including different lengths).
22. A classic boatneck striped tee that's quite simply a wardrobe essential. Pair it with jeans or black pants for a look that's Parisian chic, or tuck it in to a bold printed skirt for a look that's more Emily In Paris.
Promising review: "I love this shirt! I have multiple shirts in different colors, and I find that I live in them. I wear one nearly every day — you can wear them to work with trousers and a blazer, or wear them out and about with jeans for casual days. Super soft, easy to care for, and very long-lasting." —anonymous
Get it from Boden for $32 (available in sizes 2–20/22 and in four colors and prints).
23. A jean jacket-hoodie combo, aka a stylish and easy layer you'll wear e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e and that's much more interesting than a regular sweatshirt or denim jacket.
Several reviewers say it fits loose!
Promising review: "This jacket is cute and comfortable! Jean jackets can be a little tight in the arms for me and this one is not, it’s a little baggy but not bad. It’s sooo comfortable with the sweatshirt material; it feels like I’m wearing a sweatshirt but much cuter! I get so many compliments when I wear it and I say it’s one of my best Amazon purchases!" —Cass S
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in nine colors).
24. '90s-tastic ripped bootcut jeans to give all the tops and jackets you've worn a zillion times a whole new trendy flair (or should I say, ~flare~?).
25. A classically chic striped turtleneck that's not too bulky, not too thin, but Goldilocks-level jusssssttttt right. The buttons on the shoulder are a classy-looking touch, too.
Reviewers recommend sizing up for a slouchier fit!
Promising review: "I LOVE this sweater! It’s thick and cozy. The gold metal buttons on the neck and shoulder make this garment feel super luxurious. The fabric has stood up well to washing in warm to cool water with like color clothing. Overall I’m extremely happy with this piece. My only caution with this sweater is the weave is a little on the delicate side, even though it’s a thicker sweater. I was brushing my hair wearing it and snagged a bunch of threads around the neck. I wasn’t brushing hard, and my bristles barely brushed the fabric. I was able to very gently tug them back into place. Ever since then, I’ve been careful to not get the sweater caught on anything. For the price, softness, style, and attention to detail in the finishes of this sweater, it’s worth it!" —Nichole
Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 26 colors and patterns).
26. A romantic lace fit-and-flare dress with POCKETS to make it even more perfect. This looks sooo much like a dress I wore basically every week of 10th grade, in the best possible way — between T. Swift rerecording her albums, vests and Converse popping up on my fashion radar again, and new Percy Jackson books coming out, I'm gonna go on record and say the late 2000s/early 2010s are officially BACK.
Get it from Torrid for $51.67 (originally $79.50; available in sizes 00X–6X and in two colors).
27. A tie-front, waffle-knit top to help you master that effortlessly chic vibe, well, effortlessly — whether you pair it with jeans or leggings. You might start to love it just as much as actual waffles. OK, almost.
It's got over 4,000 positive reviews, and reviewers recommend sizing up to get that cool oversized look. And it's available for Prime Try Before You Buy!
Promising review: "I can’t believe I didn’t buy this shirt sooner! It’s everything I hoped it would be and much better than what I expected! I’m definitely getting this shirt in all the colors! A similar shirt from Urban Outfitters is sells for like $45, so this is much better for my wallet!" —Marie Lassley
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 22 colors and prints).
28. An oversized houndstooth sweater vest to have you serving up major influencer vibes, without all the spam DMs (nope, your inbox will just be full of compliments).
Promising review: "I ended up purchasing three of these sweater vests — the tan/black check, the pink/white check and the blue/white check. They are oversized but not ridiculous. I love the look. I wear a white silk shirt under the tan/black vest with black leggings. As the weather gets warmer, I will put a white cami under the pink and blue vests. The sweater weight is a nice medium. These sweater vests have a very nice, soft feel to them. They are exceptionally comfortable. They are super cool-looking." —Arlooey
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes S–L and in nine styles).
29. A luxe velvet T-shirt you can rock in place of any of your other basic tees for an instant outfit upgrade. Look at you, living the George Costanza dream of draping yourself in velvet 24/7.
Promising review: "OBSESSED! I bought the green, then I bought the pink. Now I’m about to buy the mermaid blue or the coffee. Looks just like the photos, and I am beyond pleased with the quality. I get sooo many compliments when I wear these crushed velvet tees. You won’t be disappointed!" —Kristin Cline
Get it from Amazon for $18.86 (available in sizes S–XXL and in eight colors).
30. A clever mixed-material shirtdress (by adorbs label English Factory) that does all the styling work for you — it looks like it has a sweater layered over it! Oh, and just peep how cute it looks with sneaks.
31. A charming pom-pom detail sweater you'll have a ~ball~ layering over pretty much anything.
Promising review: "I’m really impressed by the quality of this sweater! I’m an Amazon binge shopper, and end up returning a lot more than I keep. This, my friends, is a keeper! The dots, the lantern sleeves, the detail of the cuffs...this sweater feels heavy and substantial but isn’t bulky. For reference, I usually wear a medium or large in tops/sweaters. Got the large and it’s just right, a little loose but I didn’t want it tight." —jetset
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 4/6–14 and in 23 styles).
32. An absolutely epic green velvet double-breasted coat you'll come to find Every. Single. Outfit. looks better under. Almost no styling effort required — heck, you could be wearing sweats underneath and you'd still radiate royal energy.
It's from a Black woman-owned, Houston-based small business!
Get it from Lilly's Kloset for $118 (available in sizes S–L).
