Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A lightweight raincoat that you can fold and tuck away on those days when you can't tell if it'll rain or not (because even the meteorologist is confused). This jacket comes with a drawstring pouch so you can easily store this in your bag or purse.
Promising review: "Perfect for layering or on it's own! It's very compact to pack and bring along, but fits perfectly! I love that I can wear it on its own to hike or to walk around in, or put a hoodie underneath it in colder weather. I got this to go in my back pack. The bag is smaller than my hand. The size is just what I needed and expected — a little bit longer and not form fitting." —Hailey Anderson
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 20 colors).
2. Or, a waterproof windbreaker with removable sleeves that you can wear as a vest when the temp unexpectedly gets warmer. And reviewers say it's perfect for hiking and biking.
3. A maxi sundress that'll keep your legs warm when it's still a little chilly out but it's also airy enough so you won't overheat if the temp rises in the afternoon. You can also pair this with a cardigan or denim jacket if you want a little extra warmth.
4. A button-down skater dress, because it's one of those pieces that can be worn so many different ways — as is, with tights, or with a sweater. It also comes in so many cute colors, perfect for every season. And (!!) it has pockets to keep your hands warm during chilly weather (or when you just don't know what to do with them).
Promising review: "LOVE this dress! It’s super stretchy, great for plus-size girls! I am a 14–16 right now and got the XXL and it’s perfect. I have a pretty big chest DDD and it fits there too! The length is longer (knee length) but it’s actually flattering and makes it so you can wear it with boots and a cardigan in fall but also wear it in spring and summer when it gets hot so it’s very versatile! Plan on getting in more colors!" —Kandice
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 43 styles, including both short and long sleeves).
5. A casual A-line midi skirt if the temps aren't quite right for a mini skirt or shorts but you wanna show a little skin.
Reviewers note the skirt runs small so consider ordering a size up!
Promising review: "The perfect skirt. It's very light without being see-through or flimsy. I love that it has pockets and the length is perfect. It wrinkles a fair amount in the wash but I kind of like the lived-in look of it. A new favorite, I'll probably buy other colors." —Renee Tilby
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 37 styles).
6. A cable knit sweater that'll keep you cozy and it has over 16,000 5-star ratings. Reviewers are calling it "the perfect sweater for all seasons!"
Promising review: "All weather sweater. I like this sweater because it fits perfectly, is a perfect weight for most seasons and it is soft and not scratchy on my skin. It seems to be well made and the price is outstanding. I will wear this a lot. It will be my go to sweater for most casual outings." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 39 colors).
7. A floral embroidered dress for when it's not quite warm enough for a sundress, but you wish it was.
Moda Blask is a small business based in Europe that sells women's clothing.
Promising review: "SUCH great quality! The dress itself hangs so well, with a weight to it. And the embroidered flowers are the real deal! I’ve had SO many compliments with this dress. Absolutely love it. ♥️" —haustin835
Get it from Moda Blask on Etsy for $25.21 (originally $84.02; available in sizes S–3XL and three colors).
8. A high-neck sweater dress because it'll be your go-to dress no matter the season. It can be paired with boots or tights for colder weather, or you can rock it as is in the spring when you step out for brunch.
Promising review: "I love this dress so much!! I bought it for wine tasting on my 21st birthday, so I wanted something reserved and classy. This dress checked all the boxes. Also, this dress fits really well!! I was actually really surprised that it wasn’t too short (considering I am a bit tall, and length has always been an issue for me). This dress is also surprisingly thick too, so I believe it is suitable for wearing outside even when it is a tad chilly. The only thing I would recommend is to air dry the dress when washing it, because I have seen in other reviews that the knit material has a tendency to shrink. Other than that, great dress!! —Madison
Get it from Amazon for $42.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 23 colors).
9. Super comfy baggy overalls you can wear throughout the seasons — from the pumpkin patch in the fall to gardening in the spring.
Promising reviews: "My new capsule wardrobe staple. These overalls will quickly become your favorite WFH office wear. The navy blue is beautiful, and I can dress it up or pair with a tube top for puttering around in the yard. **Cold wash/drip dry so far to avoid shrinkage** Pros: linen; lightweight; loose fit; cool and breathable. Cons: none yet." —teaseapea
"I have bought four of these, now, in different colors. I originally thought I might feel frumpy, but I wanted something loose-fitting to allow airflow in the summer heat. I never fail to receive a compliment when wearing these out and about. They are very cute jumpers! For the price, the fit, and the quality, they're worth buying. The material seems to be linen which is very breathable, but is thick enough that I don't worry about it being see-through. I highly recommend these to anyone, any size!" —M. morson
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 21 colors/patterns).
10. A fleece hoodie dress so you can wear a comfortable and cozy dress all throughout the year. It's perfect during those days when the weather is giving a ton of mixed signals — like your last situationship.
Promising review: "I bought one of these last year, and absolutely loved it. This one is my second one, and I only bought a second one because I needed more of this in my life. The other one is still in perfect condition even though I wear it all the time during the long Chicago winters. No pilling or weird defects that have cropped up despite the fact that the purple one was washed a couple of times a week and worn pretty much every day. Very high quality for the price and perfect for layering on cold days when you need to go in and out of the house a lot. I bought the XXL." —Maryam Louise
Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes S–3X and in 14 colors).
11. A long-sleeve jumpsuit with a customizable drawstring waist, that takes the guesswork out of what to wear. This one-piece fit is made of breathable fabric, so you won't overheat, but the sleeves and pants will give you some coverage when you need it.
Promising review: "I love this jumper. Super comfy, perfect fit. The waist is a string tie (not elastic!), which I really like. Elastic waistbands can sometimes be too tight even on comfortable clothes so the string is great. The ankles and wrists are stretchy with the perfect amount of 'give' so I can get my feet and hands in and out easily. The fabric is lightweight and easy to move, dance, do yoga in. Of course, it's a V-neck so I wear a cami, sports top or halter underneath. And pockets!" —Debbie
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 15 colors).
12. A mock-neck bodysuit that you can layer under sweaters or jackets as the seasons transition. And you won't have to keep tucking this into your pants or skirts because it won't roll up!
Promising review: "This is so soft and so comfortable. It’s the first bodysuit I’ve bought and I don’t know why I haven’t purchased these sooner, it’s amazing. I was worried about the snaps being uncomfortable, but you don’t even know they’re there. I also worried for the price if it might be see-through but it’s not at all. I’ll probably be buying this in every color." —MW
Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and in 27 colors).
13. Fleece rain boot liners because you can add them to your boots when it's cold and rainy. And they're simple to remove when the temps switch up and you no longer need the extra warmth.
With The Rain is a small biz based in Seattle, Washington.
Promising review: "Love these! so warm and comfy. made very well!" —Anonymous
Get a pair from With The Rain on Etsy for $32 (available in mid-length or tall and in two sizes. For more colors/styles click here).
15. A fashionable oversized houndstooth knitted sweater vest that you can layer on top of a button-up shirt or wear with shorts, a skirt, or high-waisted jeans. However you style it, it'll make any outfit selfie-worthy.
Promising review: "Love this! Well worth the price! I ordered a medium so that it wouldn’t be too oversized and look awkward. And it fits perfect!! I paired it with a white turtleneck underneath, but the options are limitless here. Was surprised at the quality of this item...it’s very soft and thick. Which isn’t wasn’t what I expected at all. My only real complaint is the price of the item. However, this item is very trendy so I understand. Would definitely, and might, buy again very soon!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–L and nine colors).
16. A show-stopping turtleneck sweater shrug with cozy sleeves and an open front and back. It feels like a scarf and sweater combined but wayyy more fashionable.
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 18/20–26/28 and in three colors).
17. A satin fringe duster to add a pop of color to any outfit. You'll glow even on the most cloudiest of days.
18. A Hackwith Design House shirt because it can be worn more than five different ways. You can be as casual or as dressy as you want, and it can adapt to any season. The best part? You can wear this over and over and no one will ever know it's the same shirt!
Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small business that creates made-to-order apparel. This shirt can be worn as a V-neck, off-the-shoulder, boatneck, V-back, and even open as a jacket.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart says: "I have this shirt and I *love* it. All credit for its discovery goes to TikToker @jennifer.bianca who I happened to stumble across on my FYP. It checks all my boxes: black, comfortable, versatile, and durable. My initial worry was that I wouldn't feel secure in it (I have a 38DDD chest and most wrap tops/dresses I've tried haven't stayed where they're supposed to), but I haven't had an issue with this! I've worn it tied in the front giving me a square neck (like the middle picture) and tied in the back giving me a V-neck up front (just like the photo on the right) — both were super comfortable, and I didn't have to adjust myself at all. As someone whose weight fluctuates, I also appreciate that this piece can handle pounds gained and lost. The fabric is medium weight, so I'll be wearing it season to season, and there's just enough elasticity in the arms that if you roll up your sleeves, they won't fall back down. All that is to say trust that I will be buying additional colors!"
Get it from Hackwith Design House for $145 (available in sizes XS–4X and in five colors).
19. A pack of adjustable strap stretchy undershirts that are necessary no matter the season. They're perfect for layering during colder temps and great as is when it's warmer.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about these camisoles. I wear camis under my shirts every day and usually go for the more spandex-style ones. I am so glad I gave these a try. They are completely different than camis I normally buy. They’re more cotton than spandex and don’t cling to your body the same way. However, I’ve found that I love this model. They’re so soft and comfortable. I have fibromyalgia and have problems with uncomfortable clothes so these ended up being amazing. They’re the right length to wear under shirts and they’re not too loose so they don’t get all bunched up. And having them be cotton-based, I actually find fewer problems with my shirts riding up over them. I highly recommend these. I hope to purchase more colors of these in the future." —Nicole D
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 15 set options).
20. An oversized corduroy button-down shirt because it complements almost every outfit and you can easily layer up when it's chilly.
21. A knitted flower cardigan that'll come in handy when it's not cold enough for a jacket but definitely not warm enough to go outside without a sweater. Or, when it's super hot in the summer yet everywhere indoors is freezing (we just can't win). This will be your go-to sweater because it's fun, cozy, and will add some ~groovy~ vibes to any outfit.
Aesthetic Apparel Zone is a small biz comfy and stylish clothing.
Promising review: "Adorable design. Thick and cozy fabric. Buttons are unique rounded edge squares. High quality item." —Cynthia
Get it from Aesthetic Apparel Zone on Etsy for $40.30 (originally $44.78; available in sizes S–2XL and two colors).
22. A pair of high-waisted faux leather leggings if you practically live in leggings and could use a ~dressier~ alternative without sacrificing comfort.
Promising review: "These leggings are a hit! They are not cheap-looking at all! I originally bought them for a cosplay, but ended up wearing them for fashion purposes and they are 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). You can also check out these leggings that go up to a size 4X. Or these that have a functioning pocket!
23. A gorgeously oversized plaid coat because you will be warm and stylish. You'll also have a ton of room to layer up, making it perfect for any season.
BTW, this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give them a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "I really like this coat. It is 'oversized' enough to layer but does not feel too big or boxy. The bottom falls right at my knees. The lining feels luxurious and the outer layer is not overly thick, but sturdy and well made. Great value if you are looking for a versatile option for a winter coat this season. I feel like I can pull this off with a sweater, jeans, and boots or with a neutral dress and heels." —Bricky
Get it from Amazon for $65.99 (available in sizes XS–2XL and nine colors).
24. A faux-leather moto jacket to get in tune with your inner rock star. This is perfect for fall and spring or those weird phases in between seasons when you have no idea what the weather will be like.
25. A pair of super comfy cuffed sweatpants with an elastic waist and pockets. You won't want to take these off! They're perfect for the gym, to lounge around the house, or to run errands in. And they come in so many patterns and colors!
Promising review: "I have bought several of these pants because they are the most comfortable things I've ever owned. I'm not a fashionista, but I'm aware that wearing sweatpants out of the house is not universally accepted, despite the majority of us doing it. However, I feel confident wearing these with a T-shirt or tank top while going out and about and looking put together. I also got these because I have a tough time finding pants that don't push on my bladder too heavily like the jeans or slacks that I wear to work. I have interstitial cystitis and these pants are soft and fit well enough that I need not worry about any issues arising in that department. I'm not the biggest fan of all of the designs, but I'm sure there's a design out there for everyone. Or you can get the plain ones. Whichever works for you." —Featherpin
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and in 142 colors).
26. An oversized denim jacket because it's a staple piece, and let's be honest, you could probably use a new one. This classic jacket will pull any outfit together without much effort.
FYI, this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give it a trial run if you're a member!
Promising review: "Love this jacket! I am usually a size 10–12, 5'7, and it’s very hard for me to find jackets that fit well because I have a wide back and wear a DD bra. I went through a bunch of the reviews and decided to get a large. Honestly, I could have gotten a medium. But the large is good! You can def wear a sweater underneath it. Go down a size when ordering!" —Betsy
Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in five styles).
27. A stretchy romper bodysuit that'll be a great layering piece. It's perfect to wear under oversized sweaters, dresses, or as is during warmer weather. It's even a cute 'fit for the gym.
Promising review: "'One size fits all' items NEVER fit me. However, this tiny catsuit fit my big body with ease. Haha! At first, when I opened the package I laughed and said this must be for a child but surprise, surprise, it fit. Slid into it like it was specifically designed for me. I am a size 14/16 with 40DDD breasts and it fit without pinching or squeezing any part of me. Great material, very light, and extremely opaque. I bought this to wear under a sheer shawl and I am very happy with this purchase." —Patrice Morris
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in one size that fits most US 0–14/XS–L and in three colors).
