Scarf season will be here any minute now…
Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.
1. A pair of 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.”
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 $14.95 (available in sizes S–XL and in 16 colors and sets).
2. A sweatshirt dress with the comfort of your beloved college crewneck (faded and tearing at the seams from thousands of wears, though we’re not judging) and a cinched waistband for a touch of polish.
Amazon, amazon.com
Promising review: “I didn’t expect this simple, inexpensive sweatshirt dress from Amazon to become one of my favorite go-to outfits (with skinny jeans or leggings, it is ADORABLE). But it did. I love it. It’s warm and comfortable and holds up in the wash.” —Tracy Anderson
Get it from Amazon for $28.80 (available in sizes XS–6X and in seven colors).
3. A 100% Merino wool coat designed with a built-in scarf. If you’re someone who is consistently running late and foregoes winter accessories as a result, meet your winter savior.
Quince
Get it from Quince for $189 (available in sizes XS–XL and in five colors).
4. A bat-wing 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.”
5. A cozy three-piece set (pants, crop top, cardigan) that will make rewatching The Vampire Diaries for the 90th time this year feel like, well, a luxurious experience. Matching loungewear = a foolproof way to feel fancy.
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 it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 25 colors).
6. A mock-neck midi with a soft stretch fabric you can accessorize with knee-high boots, a long wool jacket, and et voilà, you’ll be stylish and warm.
Free People
Get it from Free People for $70 (available in sizes XS–XL and in five colors).
7. A knit pullover that will never get the chance to grace the insides of your Ikea Malm dresser because it will be worn every. damn. day. Versatility is the secret sauce that makes this top so irreplaceable; in other words, you can put this s*** on everything.
8. A cult-favorite Orolay parka to help you thrive through even the most frigid of winters; this is designed with a cozy fleece-lined hoodie, deep pockets to keep your hands nice and toasty, and the perfect midi length to make sure your ~assets~ are covered.
Maitland Quitmeyer / BuzzFeed
Promising review: “This coat is no joke. The coldest temperature I tested it out was 9 degrees, and I did not feel like I was freezing at all! I even tried to wear it with just a T-shirt, no sweaters/layers underneath, to see if I felt cold…nothing. No cold! Boomshakalaka! It’s also so stylish, roomy, has a thousand pockets (Goodbye, purse!), and looks different from all the rest out there.” —Zhure
Get it from Amazon for $107.99+ (available in sizes XXS–5XL and in eight colors).
9. A packable puffer jacket in plain old black, about to become *far* more relevant than your LBD now that the temps are rapidly dropping.
Amazon
Promising review: “Despite its lightweight design, this jacket provides a surprising amount of warmth. It’s been my faithful companion during chilly mornings and evenings, offering just the right level of insulation without the bulkiness of traditional puffer jackets. The long sleeves and zippered pockets are thoughtful touches, adding to its functionality and warmth.” —RD
Get it from Amazon for $42.70 (available in sizes XS–6X).
10. A half-zip pullover to celebrate the arrival of *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.
11. A wool-blend oversized sweater available in a lovely cornflower blue if you’re looking to add a hint of color to your otherwise all-black wardrobe. (But if you’d prefer to stick with neutrals…this also comes in black, white, and grey.)
NA-KD
Get it from NA-KD for $85.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in four colors).
12. A pair of fleece-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 in 14 colors).
13. 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 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 $36.29+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 19 colors).
14. A turtleneck sweater dress for a chic way to feel as if you’re *wearing* that ultra-soft throw blanket you purchased in three colors from TJ Maxx. The rib-knit material is truly a joy.
Promising review: “This is WAY BETTER than I thought it would be when I purchased it. First of all, the size is perfect! It’s an oversized sweater, and the material is great. I personally love the pockets! I wore it with some simple leggings and was just in heaven at how comfortable I was. Anyway, y’all, BUY THIS SWEATER!” —Kristen Saunders
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 38 colors).
15. A long-sleeve tee from Uniqulo’s beloved Heattech collection with a lightweight construction that will keep you unbelievably warm.
Uniqlo
Promising review: “This is my third heat tech shirt. I use it for layering and the weight is perfect. I always wear a medium. It is stretchy, fits close to the body but not too snug. Perfect for staying warm and comfortable under flannel shirts and sweaters.” —Angel
Get it from Uniqulo for $19.90 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in six colors).
16. An oversize knitted sweater vest making the word “crisp” come to mind. Turtleneck weather is coming, pets, and what better way to accessorize it than with the below? I’ll be taking five. Thanks.
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 wasn’t what I expected at all. Would definitely, and might, buy again very soon!” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–L and six colors).
17. 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 it from Amazon for $22.08+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, including short and long fits, and 10 colors)
18. An oversize sweater you’ll dub “foliage attire,” aka an outfit you’ll want to wear for any and all fall activities. Crunchy leaves, hear us roar.
19. A cocktail dress with a clever inner tie, i.e. this is a wrap style that will stay firmly in place and won’t budge an inch to reveal underwire. Plus, the velvet fabric makes this a bit warmer for a winter wedding.
Promising review: “Bought to wear to a wedding. I rarely have luck with clothes off Amazon, but I was in a pinch. This dress fit perfectly and the color was beautiful. It’s also comfortable and versatile. I could see wearing this year round with the right shoes and accessories for each season.” —Hilary
Get it from Amazon for $56+ (available in sizes 16–22 and in 11 colors).
20. An oversize crewneck giving ’90s vibes, perfect for channeling your inner Buffy Summers this fall through winter (and spring, if we’re being honest).
Urban Outfitters
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $59 (available in sizes XS–XL and in five colors).
21. A crewneck tee and wide-leg pant combo for a polished home office look that’s not as formal as a pencil skirt but also not as *informal* as the pajamas you wore to bed last night.
22. A curly longline coat if a chic take on the wearable blanket interest you. Feeling cozy whilst browsing bookstores and coffee shops feels like our ideal Saturday morning.
Nasty Gal
Get it from Nasty Gal for $112.80 (originally $188; available in sizes 18–20).
23. A ribbed knit tunic that screams fall aesthetics 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 $39.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 29 colors).
24. A lounge set featuring a cozy waffle-knit material, which is ironic considering you’ll adore this two-piece just as much as the doughy, syrup-drenched breakfast dessert.
Promising review: “I’m so glad I gave this set a try. This Amazon one is definitely thinner, but I really like the fabric of this one, too, and it’s perfect for fall and winter in Texas. I love being comfy and still looking somewhat put together in this.” —Lily McAninch
Get it from Amazon for $46.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 16 colors).
25. A cropped V-neck made from brushed cashmere for the fa-la-la-la holidays and all the dinners/happy hours/family events you’ll have through the end of the year.
J. Crew
Get it from J. Crew for $168 (available in sizes XXS–3X and in seven colors).
26. A ruffle hem dress about to become your fall uniform. Repeat after me: knee-high boots, this dress. You’re officially ready to go for any occasion.
Promising review: “I love how this dress fits. Wore it to brunch and a birthday party and got sooo many compliments on it. Fits true to size and has a lot of stretch to it.” —Rosalinda Velez
Get it from Amazon for $46.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in four colors).
27. A bodycon pencil dress because while the importance of owning the perfect LBD is no secret, it’s likely you’ve had the same one for…decades (#guilty). This one’s longer length and sleeves will also give you a hint of warmth this winter.
Promising review: “I love this dress. Simple, classy, and professional. It molds to my body in all the right ways, and it wasn’t too long. It can be worn with a nice necklace to spruce it up, and flats and/or pumps. The material is also versatile enough so that it can be worn year round; all you need is a pair of stockings or tights, but the dress will work either way. I plan to order more colors.” —LadyLestat
Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in sizes L–5XL and in six colors).
28. A fisherman cable sweater made from 100% cotton *and* less than $30? Sensational. This is *chef’s kiss* with leggings, jeans, suede skirts, and/or layered under the extensive fall outerwear hanging in your hallway closet.
Amazon
Promising review: “I have three of these sweaters. They are a quality product. You can dress them up with skirts and pants, or wear them with jeans. They wash well. I usually dry them on medium heat. Overall, great value for the money.” —Nicki
Get it from Amazon for $29.40 (available in sizes XS–6X and in 23 colors).
29. A splurge-worthy Super Puff crafted from water-repellant down that you’ll be able to wear for this upcoming winter… and every foreseeable one down the line. This is available in a slew of colors and lengths.
Aritzia
Get it from Aritzia for $250 (available in sizes XXXS–XXL and in 22 colors and four lengths).
30. A ribbed turtleneck bodysuit beckoning you to add it to that Amazon shopping cart, stat. This provides a lightweight layer of warmth (no suffocation sweating here), plus tucks perfectly into your trusty high-waisted skinnies *and* under your favorite crewneck.
Promising review: “The bodysuit is soooo comfy and stretches just right. Obsessed. I’m totally ordering other colors. Also, this is NOT see-through!!!” —Sharon Green
Get it from Amazon for $26.97 (available in sizes S–XXL and 11 colors).
31. A two-piece outfit that is basically a gazillion options in one: Wear this as a matching ensemble, throw on the sweater with workout leggings, pair the bottoms with your favorite band tee, and the list goes on.
32. A hooded coat because your outffits is all but irrelevant when temps begin to drop. You know what steps up in its absence? A standout puffer. And *this* one checks off all the boxes. It’s even got thumb holes.
33. A fleece bomber jacket that’s *technically* an on-the-way-to-a-workout layer, and we all know that the best motivation for actually taking the class you signed up for is… well, a good outfit.
34. And a faux-shearling moto jacket, which looks like it would cost upward of $7 trillion (*giggles nervously* right on budget) but thankfully, it does not. Consider this the cold-weather equivalent of a blazer: You’ll look ultra put together when you slip this on over any outfit.
Promising review: “This jacket is amazing. It looks expensive. It is extremely comfortable and warm, yet not too hot. Seriously, I wore it in 60-degree weather and was not too hot. I wore it in -5-degree weather, yes that’s right, and I was comfortable. I wore it in my house, and I didn’t overheat. There’s something about the material. The lining does not shed or flatten and does not look chintzy. It’s thick and spongey like real shearling. It doesn’t really attract lint or hair or anything either. I just can’t say enough about this.” —Huesitos
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 10 colors).
