1. A plaid shirt that’s just inspired me to scour Airbnb for a staycation in the middle of nowhere. I can picture it already: surrounded by nature, drinking coffee in a semi-modern cabin with floor-to-ceiling windows.. all while wearing this top.
2. An oversized faux shearling jacket so soft, you’ll basically feel as if you’re wearing a combination of your favorite blanket and most cuddly teddy bear. Comfortable + super on-trend + much more affordable than your typical piece of outerwear = bliss.
3. A matching set for lounging around and doing nothing, but the subtle pant pleats also make the whole thing très trendy. Need to run errands? Have a friend stopping by? Don’t want to show up to the Zoom call in your pajamas? This cozy duo is perfect for all scenarios.
Promising review: “Got this set to sleep in for the winter. The material is very comfortable and soft on the skin and not irritating at all. The stitches were flawless and looks exactly like the picture. I actually wore the sweats outside with another top and I was feeling fine the whole day.” —Kesha Follz
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 16 colors).
4. A huggably soft two-piece cuffed sleeve and shorts set that is basically a gazillion options in one: Wear this as a matching ensemble, throw on the crop top with jeans, pair the bottoms with your favorite sweater, and the list goes on.
Promising review: “I love this set! It’s so cute and great quality. I love it regardless. The top can actually be worn with jeans or athletic leggings which is a huge bonus. All in all, I love it.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 25 colors).
5. A pajama set with over 1,000 glowing reviews that scream “Target, you’ve done it again.” This matching top and bottom set is made from a buttery soft fabric so lovely, you’ll be belting out a Celine Dion ballad at first wear.
Target
Promising review: “I’ve been looking for pajamas that are comfortable and suitable for COVID lounging all day, and these fit the bill. I love these so much, I’ve purchased multiple pairs. I’ve washed them a few times and haven’t run into any issues with shrinkage. To avoid them being wrinkled, as long as I manage to take them out of the dryer as soon as they’re done, they’re perfect.” —Miranda
Get them from Target for $21.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and in seven colors).
6. Fleece-lined leggings described by one reviewer as a magical furry leg dream and wow, what a compliment. These babies will keep you warm in freezing temperatures best described as “I can see my breath.”
Amazon, amazon.com
Promising review: “The reviewer who says ‘it’s like wearing kittens on your legs’ is spot on. Kittens, small teddy bears, whatever you want to call it — these leggings aren’t lined with fleece — it’s low-pile, stretchy faux fur. But you don’t look like you gained 20 lbs. when you wear them. I went out to a concert on a miserably cold and windy February evening, with these leggings under a skirt. I’m terribly cold-blooded, and even I felt like, ‘COME ON, WIND, BRING IT ON.’ There’s one potential negative: the seams around the crotch and butt are obvious. ” —Nouvelle Héloïse
Get them from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 16 colors and sets).
7. A deliciously cozy sweater dubbed “The Cloud Turtleneck” thanks to a luxurious blend of merino wool, pima cotton, and alpaca yarn. Pair this with wide-leg trousers to make the great Matilda Djerf proud.
Everlane
Get it from Everlane for $116 (originally $165, available in sizes XXS–M and in three colors).
8. A feather-adorned button-up set likely worn by Blair Waldorf herself. I never thought the phrase “party pajamas” would be in my vocabulary, but here I am — recommending a pair of party pajamas.
9. A seamless set featuring a ribbed material best described as divine. Reviewers swear that the compressive fabric feels durable and supportive, making it the perfect ensemble for hikes and gym sessions alike.
Promising review: “The material is a good balance of thick and stretchy which allows for great compression without limiting mobility. I wore it while doing cardio and strength training and the waist doesn’t slide and the legs don’t roll up. Definitely getting more colors.” –Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in sizes S–L and in 32 colors).
10. A longline cardigan best described by the phrase “wearable blanket.” Designed with a slouchy silhouette and oversized collar, think of this pretty layer as step one toward reaching peak ’90s rom-com, Nancy Meyers-inspired fashion.
Free People
Promising review: “This cardigan is my favorite sweater. It is chunky and thick and oversized, the sleeves are long and I just feel so cozy and good in it every time I wear it. Plus it looks super cool and effortless. Oversized but not in a sloppy way. I got it in black and it is just the perfect sweater for the fall. I would love to have one in ivory as well.” —lola900
Get it from Free People for $158 (available in sizes XS–XL and in eight colors).
11. An asymmetric midi sweater dress with a body-skimming silhouette that’s what the youths would refer to as fire. And the best part of this simple number? You can wear it with any shoe, from sandals, to pumps, to knee-high boots.

Promising review: “I love that I can dress this up with boots and a belt, or just sport it with sneakers to run errands. Nice thick weave material that hugs just right.” —Steph Dubb
Get it from Amazon for $45.73+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and in six colors).
12. A pair of plaid knit leggings for a look that one-ups your favorite black yoga bottoms (but is still significantly more comfortable than any of the denim residing inside your Ikea drawers).
Promising review: “I love, love, love these pants. I have them in the black and the dark blue wash. They go with everything and are so comfortable that I want to wear them every day! I usually wear premium denim but I am reaching for these now. The price is definitely right at $20. They look good with boots, flip-flops, or tennis shoes. If you’re on the fence, get these.” —DM Lover
Get them from Amazon for $12.51+ (available in sizes XS–6X, short and long sizes, and 17 colors).
FYI, if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe you can give this a spin before you buy it!
13. A pair of fleece-lined jeggings bound to make your heart go pitter-patter if you despise the cold but *also* hate the bulky feeling of layering leggings under denim. Presenting a stylish solution with an ultra-high rise, to boot!
Promising review: “I was pleasantly surprised by this product! I ordered these for a trip to Washington state, where I did a lot of hiking in snow and cool weather. These held up really well, had enough stretch in them to be comfortable for hiking but did not stretch out, and most importantly kept me warm!” —Aaron Arnold
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XXS–5XL and in 44 colors).
14. An open-front cardigan worthy of all the compliments it’s bound to receive. Slipping this on over a wrinkled white tee and your most faded denim = upping your ~chic~ factor by about 97%. You can’t argue with science.
Promising review: “Absolutely loved this cardigan duster. Used it for one of my outfits for my maternity shoot. Received a ton of compliments and looked amazing on camera. I purchased at large at it was slightly big in arms.” —ReJina
Get it from Amazon for $23.59+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 21 colors).
15. A tortoise-shell button-down destined to fall into the “I should’ve bought this sooner” section of your wardrobe. This classic silhouette paired with a corduroy fabric = cold weather perfection.
Promising review: “A staple for fall! I absolutely love this shirt! So soft and fits as expected, but size up if you want a baggier look.” —Gabbi Inch
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 41 colors).
16. A fleece hoodie dress that I intend on buying/hibernating in all winter long. 🎶 So long, farewell, gotta add this to my Amazon cart. 🎶
Promising review: “This dress is very comfortable and cozy for the winter. I am tall and plus-size. It falls halfway down my calves. It’s very thick and nicely made. I just throw it on to run errands and look cute while doing it. It’s as comfy as a pair of sweatpants but way more stylish. I love it and will be buying other colors.” —Theresa Casanova
Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes S–3X and in 15 colors).
17. An open-front cardigan that’ll have you thinking “hark the herald” because angels do sing — at last, you’ve found the perfect layer to keep you warm and trendy. One that will never clash with an outfit.
18. A comfortable loungewear set if you work from home and need a swap from your pajamas — this features ribbed pants, a U-neck tank, and a long cardigan that feels more put-together than the flannel pants and oversized tee you’ve been wearing whilst answering emails.
19. A V-neck ribbed sweater with the word versatility written all over it in invisible ink. This wardrobe basic can be worn to anything, with anything — and it’s great for the sightly chilly days of fall and full-blown freezing temps of winter.
20. A super-duper-cozy loungewear set I am currently adding to my cart right now — and yes, in the process, I am romanticizing every Hallmark and true crime marathon I’ll be having this winter. Hot cocoa in hand. The weather app showing freezing temps. Bliss.
Promising review: “No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price. The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they’re plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together. Anyway, I’m back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much!” —Jenna
Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 29 colors).
21. A baggy overall for anyone who detests having to scrounge up a matching top and bottom, plus wants to look peak Instagram-worthy in their loungewear — all you’ll have to do is slip this on over a bralette *or* a sleeved tee.
Promising review: “I am literally obsessed with these! I have been wanting to order overalls for a couple of years now. I thought this was a cute way to wear them without trying to look too young. Spot on. I actually bought it as my lounging outfit. With all this time being spent at home with the recent crisis, I wanted something comfortable but cute so I’m not in sweats all day. Thinking about getting a couple of other colors. I would totally wear these out and about.” —WamQQk
Get it from Amazon for $13.59+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 21 colors).
22. A faux fur trim parka you’re about to wish you owned decades earlier. The neutral hue paired with massive pockets = outerwear perfection.
23. A pair of sherpa-lined sweats to make your legs feel as if they’re being enveloped by a large, fluffy bathrobe. If you’re dreading the winter and are perpetually cold (#me), then these babies should already be in your shopping cart.
Amazon
Promising review: “I’m always cold in the Wisconsin winters. These toast me up and are perfect for lounging. So cozy.” —Jodi Larson
Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and nine colors).
24. An oversized turtleneck faintly calling out for — do you hear it? — a pair of OTK boots. Perk up your ears, folks, because the heart wants what it wants and *this* sweater demands to be worn exclusively with trendy (preferably suede and heeled) shoes.
Promising review: “One of my favorite sweaters I’ve purchased this season! I ordered a size up for an oversized look. It’s very soft and not itchy at all. The yellow is gorgeous. The quality is also very impressive for the price.” —Britny M.
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 22 colors).
25. A knee-length sherpa cardigan coat you’ll regret not having purchased, like, 10 years ago. This is perfection in outerwear form: chic, warm, cozy, and can be layered over fancy and casual outfits alike.
Promising review “GUYS, OMG this jacket is definitely a hidden gem. It’s so soft and makes you look so sophisticated!! It does shed a little at first, so definitely wash this before you wear it unless you want little specks all over your clothes. I learned the hard way LOL. However, I wore this outfit pictured in 50-degree weather and it kept me warm! This is definitely one of those ‘blanket-but-make-it-fashion’ pieces HAHA. I love it so much.” —@Kathy_Vu
Get it from Amazon for $42.49+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 25 colors).
26. A crewneck sweater intentionally designed to be super cropped, hitting *just* at the sweet spot of your torso when wearing high-waisted jeans. If you detest tucking in tops, et voilà — you’ve just unlocked your new favorite clothing plaything.
27. A V-neck dress crafted from 100% merino wool, which manages to be lightweight yet unbelievably warm. And the best part? This cardigan-inspired beauty is 50% off right now — so buh-bye, as I’ll have to purchase all seven colors immediately.
Aritzia
Get it from Aritzia for $59.99 (originally $178, available in sizes XXS–XXL and in six colors).
28. A half-zip pullover to celebrate *cue trumpets and horns* sweater season. Available in a ton of neutral hues, pair this with jeans, leggings, or slacks for a comfy but put-together look.
29. A ribbed knit tunic that screams cozy holiday style thanks to an oversized, ultra-comfortable style — one that can be worn as a minidress with booties *or* a plain old sweater with leggings.
Promising review: “Honestly, one of the best Amazon purchases I’ve made to date. And that’s saying a lot because I basically buy everything I own from here. I’m not proud of it…but ya girl is busy. Buy the sweater. Thank me later. This is such a nice fitting, high-quality top for the price. An Instagram influencer I follow posted about this sweater so I decided to give it a shot — so glad I did!” —Leah
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 29 colors).
30. A batwing sweater complete with an asymmetrical hem you’ll want to pair with leggings, combat boots, and a trendy fedora for a look that says, “Why yes, this is something you have saved to a Pinterest board.”
31. A two-piece set for early mornings when the only effort you’d like to muster up is reserved for caffeine making and caffeine making, only. This ‘fit is easy peasy.
Promising review: “For those of you who like to go to Walmart in your PJs and flannel pants, order this set! You will still be comfy but look great. These sets are lightweight but not see-through. True to size without fitting skintight. Extremely comfortable and versatile. Dress it up or down.” —Mimi
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in sizes S–XXXL and in 31 colors).
32. A long-sleeved jumpsuit that requires absolutely 👏 no 👏 effort 👏. Finding a matching top and bottom before your morning cup of coffee is inconceivable, so we suggest slipping this cozy one-piece on instead.
Amazon
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, 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 $32.88 (available in sizes S–XXL and 10 colors).
33. High-waisted flare pants available in 16 colors and, consider this a warning, you’ll want to stock up on every one. Over 8,000 reviewers swear that these babies are heaven in clothing form — buttery soft, amazingly stretchy, and perfect for any occasion.
Promising review: “I wore these pants on a first date and they made my booty and thighs look amazing. I also wore these pants to my office job and my coworkers went crazy over them. I literally emailed and texted shared item and copied links to these pants all day. They are so soft. You want to touch them all day and they make great sleep pants.” —Christina Tahey
Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 16 colors).
34. A short slouchy cardigan practically begging to be added to your wardrobe. This easy-breezy layer is made from a cozy knit that is equal portions comfortable and stylish — simply drape it over anything in your wardrobe for a kick of warmth.
Amazon
Promising review: “Didn’t realize I would end up wearing this sweater every single day. I should probably wash it, but I’m not sure I’m ready to part with it for even 30 minutes while it’s in the washer. 🙂 Love the color too, I got the pink/purple one and it’s so cute. If you want to own a super-comfortable cardigan — get it!! Usually wear a size S but ordered an L because I was going for the oversized look and OMG I love it so much!!” —Mary L
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 10 colors).
35. A ribbed knit pencil skirt, the free gift with purchase being immediate Instagram fame. This is far too trendy to be worn without photographic proof tbqh.
