Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A pair of Chelsea boots that are perfect for crunching leaves. You'll be glad you have these for your trip to the pumpkin patch or apple picking because they're comfy, stylish, and will keep your feet warm and dry. They're also versatile — perfect for the confusing weather in the fall because you can pair 'em with just about anything.
Promising review: "After a lot of worry about getting the right fit, I took the advice given by the reviewers and the company and ordered a half size larger. They fit great! The leather is beautiful. They smell really good. They look very suave and debonair. I’m sitting on the sofa watching TV because I don’t want to take them off. I debated a long time and worried a lot about buying these boots because of some of the negative reviews, but I’m glad I went with the majority of reviews. They were not too narrow and fit comfortably. They also were not too long. They are the look that I was going for. A dressier look than my normal work boots that I bum around in. I’m very happy with these classy boots!!" —CMaxDavis
Get them from Amazon for $160 (available in sizes 5–11 and in nine colors).
2. A faux leather jacket to add a lil' pop to any fall outfit. This jacket is perfect for that in-between weather when it's not cold enough for a thick coat but definitely not warm enough to go without an extra layer.
3. An oversized turtleneck dress because it's so cozy, it'll feel like you're wrapped in your fave blanket all day long. Plus, just think of all the cute pics you can take while rocking this at the pumpkin patch! And, it's definitely one of those pieces you can dress up or down.
BTW: this runs big so consider sizing down if you want a more fitted look.
Promising review: "Got this in brown and am absolutely obsessed with it. I was looking for this kind of burnt orange color and this is exactly what it looks like. Great quality, super cozy and warm, great for layering with an oversized leather jacket. Can be worn with leggings, skinny jeans or just thigh-high boots for the no-pants look. This sweater is a must for this fall/winter season!" —I S
Get it from Amazon for $29.39+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 43 colors/styles).
4. A plaid peacoat so you can have chic outwear to elevate all your outfits. Plus, reviewers say it's the perfect transitional piece for when the weather is getting chillier.
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 over 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–XXL and nine colors).
5. Classic Dr. Martens combat boots that you'll want to rock all the time because they're stylish and versatile. Plus once you break them in, they're sooooo comfortable. These can be worn for almost any occasion you have planned this fall because you can wear them with anything from cozy leggings to a dress.
6. A ribbed knit pencil skirt because it will feel like a sweater for your legs. Plus, reviewers say it's great for fall, comfortable, and stretchy enough to wear during pregnancy. It's also one of those pieces that you can style in so many different ways — pair it with a T-shirt and sneakers for a casual day out or with heels and a turtle neck for a dressier look.
Promising review: "I love the length, the color, and feel of this skirt. It is the perfect dressy, casual piece. It fits just as expected so buy your usual size. I am a little curvy in the hips and it stretched, but was never see through. I am going to buy more colors!" —Bailee
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 14 colors and three styles).
7. Or a show-stopping faux-leather wrap midi skirt if you want a bold skirt to rock with your fave sweaters and turtlenecks.
8. A felt fedora to ~top off~ any outfit this autumn. It comes in a slew of colors and it's adjustable so you can get the perfect fit.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor, Katy Herman, had to say about it:
"I got this hat for Christmas last year and love it. I am not a huge hat person, but I *am* a huge purple person, so the rich royal hue sent this affordable style statement to the top of my wish list. I've only worn it once so far (with the outfit above), but it was an absolute compliment magnet that day and it made me feel like a rockstar — not at all silly like I feared it might. I already have several ideas for more ways to wear this outfit-maker this fall, and I 10/10 recommend for a style upgrade."
Promising review: "This hat is EVERYTHING. You will feel like a new person when you go out with this thing. It completes your look. It hides your sweaty greasy roots after being out all day. It doubles great as a fan. Fits a normal head and your big head friends with ease. Need to be basic? Gonna be Crocodile Dundee for Halloween? You already know. I’m about to order three more in different colors because it is so versatile and a whole MOOD. Buy the hat. Enjoy your brunch." —brettenie saldana
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 26 colors and two-packs).
9. An oversized teddy bear coat because it's cozy and cuddly — totally the whole vibe you'll want for those chilly fall days ahead.
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 in 32 styles).
10. A luxe Rachel Antonoff velvet jumpsuit, that'll make you feel like you're wearing PJs all day, yet it's dressy enough to wear for Thanksgiving dinner.
Here's why BuzzFeed Shopping editor, Katy Herman, loves this:
"Rachel Antonoff is one of my favorite designers. Her pieces are quirky, unique, and unapologetically maximalist (same), featuring prints of everything from pasta to ducks to the female reproductive system to sandwiches. She also has a brother named Jack you may have heard of (to have one sibling design this masterpiece of a jumpsuit and the other cowrite "Getaway Car"...I owe so much of my joy to this family's talent...). This design is one of her classic pieces; I have it in purple from a few seasons back and I love it! I definitely wish I had sized down for a fit more like on the model, but I also love the fact that it runs roomy and comfy. You really can't beat jewel-toned velvet, IMHO, but make it versatile and cozy and a one-and-done outfit?!?! Rachel's an overachiever, and I can relate to that too."
Get it from Rachel Antonoff for $162+ (originally $295+; available in sizes XS–3X and six styles/colors).
11. A pair of slouchy faux-suede heeled boots because what's fall without a pair of cute boots? These are also lined so your feet will be comfy and cozy. And, they come in the perfect shades for autumn.
BTW: reviewers suggest sizing up if you want to pair these with thick socks.
Promising review: "Mind blown at the quality and comfort 👍🏼. I usually wear a 5.5 but sometimes order a 6 in boots to accommodate for my athletic calves. The 6 is a little too big; however, these are the absolute most comfortable boots I’ve ever ordered. I’ll use a sole insert to help with the fit. The quality of these boots is outstanding — close comparison to my $800 designer boots! I’m absolutely shocked and pleasantly surprised! There is also a super soft interior finish that makes these great for wearing barefoot. The blue in the photos is a bit brighter than what they look like in person. I will be ordering additional colors! Outstanding!" —Amanda S. Battistoni
Get them from Amazon for $44.88+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 12 styles).
12. An always-on-trend boxy houndstooth sweater vest if you want to have a go-to piece for the confusing fall weather. Will it be hot or cold today? Who knows! You can wear it on its own on warmer days or with a turtleneck when it's chilly — making it the perfect transitional piece.
Promising review: "Fit is perfect! Can be worn alone in spring and early fall, or as an on-trend layering piece in winter." —Louise Milner
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes S–L and in 15 colors).
13. A plunging ruched bodysuit so you won't have to worry about your shirt rolling up when you bend to grab the perfect pumpkin at the farm.
Promising review: "I love that this is a thicker material, especially in the front where it crosses over, and can keep you a bit warmer. It doesn't fit nearly as low-cut as in the product image, and can easily be worn to work without another shirt underneath it. Since it's not flimsy, you can wear this in 60-ish degree weather with just a light jacket, or indoors with no extra layers (I am usually cold in offices so this is really convenient)." —s_jm_sf
Get it from Amazon for $23.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, 15 colors and styles, and two sleeve lengths). And if you're looking for a larger size, this short-sleeve bodysuit is available in sizes 12–24 and in 26 colors.
14. A pair of fleece-lined sweat pants, for cooler temps that are just around the corner. This will keep you so warm and comfy all fall and winter — you'll want to wear these all day, every day.
Promising review: "I looked everywhere for the perfect snuggle pants, but couldn’t find a reputable source. These are perfect! Dense jersey on the outside, thick cozy fleece on the inside. Highly recommended." —Ticorella
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 10 colors). There's also a really great pair of lined leggings.
15. An oversized corduroy button-down shirt, because it complements almost every outfit and you can easily layer up when it's chilly.
16. A "homecoat" that'll put your old robe to shame. This is like a robe, blanket, and sweatshirt all in one. What I'm saying is: you won't want to take it off because it's so cozy and perfect for the cooler temps that are on their way.
Get it from our Goodful shop for $295.
17. An affordable jogger set so you can take all the guesswork out of picking a cute and cozy outfit. This will be your go-to set for anything from brunch to shopping or just lounging on your couch.
18. A faux sheepskin-lined shacket if the weather is confusing and it's not warm enough to go without a jacket, but also wayyy too hot for a thick coat (annoying). Reviewers say it's comfy, cozy, and well-made.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, and I was hesitant at first, but I bought it. I’m really small, so I bought the medium to be oversized, and it’s great. I could def fit smaller sizes, and it still be big, so if you want the sleeves smaller, I’d size down. So comfortable and cute especially with bodycon dresses." —Bela Maria
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in men's sizes S–3X and in 13 colors).
19. A double-breasted knit cardigan so you'll always have a cute and chic cardigan to layer with whenever you feel chilly, without ruining your fancy outfit when you're all dressed up.
20. A button-down skater dress — 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 $20.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 43 styles, including both short and long sleeves).
21. A puffer vest that will come in handy when it's not quite the right time for your extra warm winter coat, but you need something to wear on cooler autumn days.
Beginning Boutique is a woman-owned small biz based in Australia.
Get it from Beginning Boutique for $40 (originally $84.99; available in sizes 2–8 and in two colors).
22. A casual A-line midi skirt if the temps aren't quite right for a mini skirt or shorts, but you still 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 $29.89+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 29 styles).
23. A fall coffee sweatshirt or tee for all the coffee lovers who countdown to autumn every year just so they can indulge in some PSL ☕️ goodness.
Kennedy Claire Couture is a small woman-owned biz that's inspired by and named after the owner's daughter.

Get it from Kennedy Claire Couture on Etsy for $14.99+ (originally $24.98+; available in sizes S–5XL, in five colors, and two styles).
24. A fleece hoodie dress so you can wear a comfortable and cozy dress all throughout the season. 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).
25. Some fun embroidered Halloween socks if you can't wait for October 31 to be a little spooky. Pair these with some cropped jeans to show off the cute Jack-o'-lantern designs.

Get a pair from Graphics And Tees Shop on Etsy for $26 (available in two sizes).
26. 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.

28. 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 $26.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 19 colors/patterns).
29. A pumpkin print pajama set because what signals the beginning of fall more than some cute pumpkins? You'll be comfy and cozy in these PJs, and you can even get matching sets for your kiddos!
Promising review: "Fits well and as expected, and the pattern is just as good as we were hoping. Would definitely buy again! We bought a matching pair for the whole family and I can't wait to get a family picture!" —Anonymous
Get this set from Old Navy for $39.99 (available in regular, petite, and tall sizes XS–XXL and in three prints; also available in children's sizes here).

Cozy Stepz is a small business that sells fun house slippers.
Get a pair from Cozy Stepz on Etsy for $9.99 (originally $19.98; available in sizes 5–11).
31. A cropped fleece jacket that's adjustable so you can get the perfect fit for you. Plus, reviewers say it's "definitely a fall and early winter staple."
Promising review: "Honestly, this is an awesome find. It’s thick enough for midwest fall and spring weather. Definitely has been my go-to sweater for these recent 30 degrees and below weather. I’m 5’3”, so this is a nice crop fit for me, it hits my mid torso. So, if you’re taller you’ll definitely get a more true to crop style. I love it. Will probably get other colors." —Sam
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes S–L and in 12 colors).
32. 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/S–3X/4X and in five colors).
