1. A soft mini skirt that's basically fashion cordu-royalty — it rules no matter if you rock it with a graphic tee and sneakers or a sleek top and booties.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga has and loves this cutie! Here's what she has to say about it: "This skirt was there for me in my time of need! I had a broken foot, so when last-minute plans came up and I was in need of a cute outfit (that didn’t require trying to pull pants on over my cast) I took a chance on this lil’ number. And I’m so glad I did! It’s stretchy, soft, and made my butt look fabulous. Def ordering in another color.”
Get it from Amazon for $22.91+ (available in sizes S–XL and three colors).
2. The perfect sleeveless crop top you'll rock on its own come summer but as an essential layering piece year-round.
Beginning Boutique is a woman-owned Australian shop with a huge selection of trendy clothes!

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 $20.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and four colors).
4. 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 $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 11 colors).
5. An absolutely iconic "Harvard — what, like it's hard?" sweatshirt that'll become your new favorite weekend wear and make everyone do a double-take in a sea of other people in college merch and leggings. The quote gives it ~a little something extra, dontcha think~?

Get it from Letters & Lucy on Etsy for $31.99+ (available in unisex sizes S–3X and in two colors). Also available on a tee here.
6. 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!
7. A sleeveless, lightweight fleece jumpsuit that's perfect workout or Netflix binge attire, sure, but would also be darn cute with a moto 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.
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 $15.41+ (available in sizes XS–6X and in 20 colors and prints).
8. 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 $27.99+ (available in women's sizes S–3XL and 35 styles).

BTW, we gave Torrid a shoutout in our picks for the best places to buy plus-size clothing!
Promising review: "I love all of Torrid’s tops like this, but the cap sleeve makes this one take the cake! The cap sleeve is just enough to make me comfortable and remain stylish and fun. Already ordered the green one! Please make this exact top in more colors, Torrid!" –olybg85
Get it from Torrid for $55.50 (available in sizes 10–30 three colors).
10. A slouchy pullover, because you know what they say about striped sweaters...the best time to wear 'em is allllllll the tiiiiiimeeee.
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!

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.
Get it from Girlfriend Collective for $88 (available in sizes XXS–6XL and four essential colors; limited edition colors vary).
12. 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.
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 $16.40+ (available in unisex sizes S–3XL and in eight colors).

If you're looking for a pair to deem "the best black leggings," look no further!
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 $10.49+ (available in one size fits most for straight and plus-sizes and in three styles, including one with pockets, and 22 colors).
14. 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 them from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL, 37 styles, and in multipacks).
16. Or some cool and loose jogger pants that are an upgrade from usual sweats but just as effortless. They'll make you wonder why you ever wasted time with jeans.
Not to worry - we've got you covered with 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 $12.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL and in 15 styles).
17. A beautifully breezy and comfy flutter-sleeve, fit-and-flare dress with pockets that'll provide foolproof protection against ever feeling like you have nothing to wear ever again.
It's machine washable so you can wash and wear on repeat!
Promising review: "So comfortable. I really love this dress. It fits well and looks great with a jean jacket, cardigan, or utility jacket. It's so versatile." —Liza180
Get it from Boden for $90 (available in sizes 2–20/22 regular, 2–12 petite, and 4–20/22 long and in seven colors and prints).
18. 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 $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 13 colors and patterns).
19. '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~?).
20. 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-selfie-worthy.
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 $18.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 21 colors and prints).
21. 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 $43.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 11 colors).
22. 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 7,000 (!!!) positive reviews.
Take a look at some other bike shorts that reviewers swear by!
Promising review: "Great shorts! Perfect for leisure or working out. They are pretty much squat proof (if you reaaallly try, you can see through them a bit). True to size. The 5-inch are the best for working out. I do CrossFit in them and they don’t ride up during the workout or running (yay, no chafing!). Great value! I have three pairs and wear them constantly." —NR
Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 40 colors and styles, including different lengths).
23. A sultry Staud cutout linen dress you can restyle with different shoes, jackets, bags, and jewelry for countless dates and brunches to come.
Get it from Shopbop for $245 (available in sizes XS–XL).
24. The perfect faux-leather moto jacket, because I can't think of a single thing — whether it's a floral dress, a tee and jeans, a jumpsuit, or even a formal gown — that wouldn't go from blah to ~fashion~ real quick under one of these.
Amazon reviewers love this classic Levi's one, and I have it in purple! These are definitely thicker moto jackets, which means they're not like lighter faux leather jackets I have that I can almost toss on like a sweatshirt. No, these are definitely made to be part of a more put-together look, but they are great for it. The length is excellent, because it's cropped enough I could see it working with skirts or dresses, but not so cropped that it looks awkward with jeans. I've only worn it once so far, but I have plenty of other outfit ideas. I rocked it as part of a super layered look, and both for that reason and for comfort I would recommend going up a size if you're between sizes!
Promising review: "This is worth every penny you spend on it. The quality of the material is very nice for faux leather — the feel and look will have you thinking otherwise. The fit is perfect. I’m pretty petite so I’m always concerned with how things will fit, and honey it fits just fine. I mean I’m overly satisfied with jacket. I get so many compliments whenever I wear this. If you're looking for a staple moto jacket, this is, it put this in your cart now!" —Lauren Copeland
Get it from Amazon for $38.10+ (available in sizes XS–4X and in 44 colors).
25. An oversized cardigan made from super soft cotton here to take the reins as your go-to on days when you'd rather be snuggled up in bed.
Promising review: "It’s so hard to find affordable cotton cardigans these days. This one is perfectly oversized and cozy. Really trying to refrain from buying every color since it’s currently summer 🫠" –Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 15 colors).
26. A pastel pink blazer that's as ready for spring as you are. Next time you're tempted to toss a black blazer over a striped tee or basic button-down, opt for this instead — it's just as polished but feels fresh.
Get it from Loft for $140 (available in sizes 00–12 regular and petite).
27. 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 $13.20+ (available in sizes S–XL and in eight colors).
28. 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 4,500 positive reviews, and reviewers recommend sizing up to get that cool oversized look.
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 $12.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 28 colors and prints).
29. An oversized knitted sweater vest for a chic extra layer that won't make you go into "overheating" mode.
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 $25.99+ (available in sizes S–L and in 18 colors).
30. 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 $14.99+ (available in sizes 4/6–14 and in 20 colors).
31. A double-breasted blazer because you want your wardrobe to be a bit more ~debonair~, and this is a much cuter pick than a monocle and top hat.
Promising review: "I'm petite and have a hard time finding jackets and blazers that fit me well. This blazer fit me perfectly and the length was slightly oversized, which is a really cute look overall. There is a hidden chest pocket on the left which is a lovely bonus (can't ever have enough pockets!). The plaid design is very subtle and the color matches easily. Love it!" –Anastasia55
Get it from Madewell for $178 (available in sizes XXS–XXL).
32. An incredibly versatile long-sleeved T-shirt dress that over 6,000 reviewers swear by. I can see why, since it works for all seasons and is as easy as PJs but could still easily be dressed up for special outings.
Reviewers say that it runs true to size but a bit snug in the arms!
Promising review: "I want to order this is ALL THE COLORS. It is so comfy and soft and the perfect length. I love how the hem is asymmetrical!!!" —Emily
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 42 colors and prints).
33. A super comfy-looking, gauzy cotton button-up you can wear loose, knot in the front, tuck in, or even rock as a swimsuit cover-up. It's a fun shot of color and the styling possibilities are endless.
This cutie is from an awesome Black woman–owned, Houston-based small business!
Get it from Lilly's Kloset for $60 (available in sizes S–L).
34. A turtleneck sweater dress that'll make you feel like you're bundled up in a snuggly blanket all day (except you'll look wayyy cuter).
Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy but I LOVE! I took it out of the package and immediately said 'this is so soft omg.' I’m almost 5’5" and weigh 125 lbs. and I love how the size S fits. It is the perfect level of short for me - even if I raise my arms overhead it is still long enough. The sleeves are not that super poofy look but I still love it." –Megan Torbenson
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 22 colors).
35. A comfy brami (translation: cami with a built-in bra) so you can look cute and feel comfy on and off the yoga mat, all while relishing in an underwire-free existence.
Promising review: "I am obsessed with these tops! This is my second one and I am just as pleased with it as the first one. The pads are removable and truthfully, you can't see *anything* when you take them out. The pads don't add too much extra 'push-up' and without you don't lose the flattering shape. The material is soft and these wash really well in your washing machine. These tops are great for working out and adorable dressed into a cute outfit. I have worn mine to bed (sans pads) and it was really light and comfy. I am a 34C and the mediums fit me perfectly. I am working on buying these in every color!" –Nicole
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 20 colors).
36. A blouse with lacy balloon sleeves that'll become a go-to for any occasion, whether you're looking to dress up or rock a laid-back look.
Promising review: "This top was even prettier in person than I expected. My hubby commented how good it looked. It’s great for date night or if you want to throw something on that looks like you put in an effort to look good. I’ve already worn this several times since I bought it. It was a great purchase." –Evelyn Y. Craven
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 40 colors and styles).
37. A pair of top-rated, high-waisted straight-leg jeans for anyone that's looking for a pair to call "ol' reliable."

Promising review: "These are the most amazing jeans I have ever bought. I love them so much! I wear them all the time. The fit great and look great. Highly recommend." –Chandler
Get them from Abercrombie & Fitch for $89 (available in sizes 23W–37W, five lengths, and in 22 washes and styles).
38. A mini T-shirt dress with a knotted, cinching waist and cuffed sleeves that make it distinguishably cuter from your collection of oversized college tees.
Promising review: "You have to get this dress! It is super comfortable and classy. I ordered a medium in two colors – light pink and black – and love them both...It’s stretchy and not tight, but still hugs your body." –Amber Kunau
Get it from Amazon for $19.49+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 23 colors).
39. A matching sweatsuit that'll make the transition from pajamas to lounge-around-the-house-gear to errands outfit incredibly seamless, since you simply *won't* have to change.
Promising review: "This is one of the best loungewear outfits I've purchased online. It's super comfortable and looks great with sneakers or combat boots. I sized up for comfort but it runs true to size. There is a nice stretch to it but it doesn't feel or look cheap. If you're looking for cozy at a good price this is it." –Robert McCabe
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 38 styles).
