Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.
1. An open-front blanket shawl that’s reversible (!!), so you’re really getting two coats for the price of one… Basically, you’re losing money if you don’t buy it (#girlmath). But seriously, this is the ultimate outer layer because it hovers on the line between blanket and cloak, aka you can wear it draped over your shoulders at your event and then snuggle up underneath it on your drive home… You get the best of both worlds. 🎶
Promising review: “I love this poncho. The quality of the material is good. Love the colors. I purchased this for a trip. I wanted something lightweight, not bulky, but would keep me warm on cool nights. It also doubles as a blanket when I am watching TV. I machine wash it, put it in the dryer, and it still looks good.” —HombreDemonio
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 37 colors/patterns).
2. An oversize blanket scarf for some added warmth *and* a pop of color for your otherwise bland (and chilly) outfit.
Promising review: “This arrived quickly and in perfect condition. It is so soft! Possibly my favorite scarf ever. Did I mention it’s soft? It is incredibly soft, and it also comes in a generous size that keeps me warm. Great for walking my dog in Chicago winters.” —Mary D.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 25 colors).
3. A waffle-knit lounge cardigan that’ll elevate your lounge look from “just rolled out of bed” to “ready to sip coffee at a local shop.” But don’t let the elevated vibe fool you, this is still comfy as heck.
Lane Bryant
Get it from Lane Bryant for $41.97 (originally $69.95; available in sizes 10–36).
And check out the matching waffle knit joggers to complete the set!
4. A fuzzy pajama set you will probably never want to take off your body after you put it on for the first time. Adding this to my ever-growing list of things I want as we speak.
Promising review: “I got this in a large when I’m usually a small only because I like oversize things and it’s probably the best thing I’ve ever put on my body. 😌 This is so comfy. This outfit got me through a horrible time in the ER on Christmas Eve morning because how can you be sad when you’re so comfy, ya know?” —carly
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 11 colors).
5. A fuzzy patchwork hooded jacket, which looks like it would feel like a warm hug. Pop this on when you’re feeling chilly, and you’ll be as cozy as if you were wearing a blanket.
Amazon
Promising review: “I love this jacket! I get compliments on it everywhere I go. I got the blue one, and I’m going to get another one in pink. It’s so light, yet very warm. I love that the inside is as soft and fuzzy as the outside. No cold inner liner against you. I like that it goes past my waist and bottom. No riding up and drafts getting in at the waist.” —Karen M.
Get it from Amazon for $41.79+ (available in sizes S–XXL and seven colors).
6. A fleece-lined hoodie that takes everything you love about a hoodie and adds some extra warmth for those days that are just chilly enough but not so cold that you want to wear a jacket.
Promising review: “Need to purchase!!!! I bought a large, because I didn’t want it to be a bit too tight on me, and in case it shrinks in the washer, but it hasn’t. The weight is fine. I wore it in the cold when I took my dog for a walk once, when it was a bit windy and cold, but the hoodie kept me warm, and I wasn’t cold at all because it’s like a blanket inside, hugging you around to keep you warm. I’m planning on buying more of these in the future. The size is great. Everything is great about the hoodie.” —Monika
Get it from Amazon for $35.96+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 16 colors).
7. A heated jacket so even the coldest of people (🙋♀️) can be warm enough to enjoy the time outside with friends. Personally, I know the struggle of wearing like four layers and still freezing, even while everyone else seems to be living their best life, so this honestly would be a game changer.
Check out the heated jacket in action on TikTok!
The jacket has a rechargeable battery that will last 10 hours, as well as three heat settings, so you can decide if it’s just a brisk wind or you’re basically in the Arctic. Plus, it’s machine washable and has a detachable hood.
Promising review: “I was honestly kind of skeptical about this at first because it took a bit of time to heat up all the way, but once it did, I was absolutely in love. It gets so warm and is absolutely perfect. It’s very, very well-made and luxurious feeling. 10/10.” —Ezra Adair
Get it from Amazon for $127.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL).
8. A looong cardigan that truly looks like it feels like a warm hug. This is a great layering piece that can easily be dressed up or down to fit your vibes. Running to your car after a Pilates class? Throw it on. Need a cute layer for your jeans outfit to head to brunch? This is it.
Promising review: “Literally so obsessed. I wear this all the time. It got softer after its first wash, and the shape changed, so it was way more fitted and cozy. Can wear it with anything. I get sooooo many compliments. 100000/10.” —Nora Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and six colors).
9. An effortlessly cool hoodie and joggers set so you don’t have to worry about what outfit you’re going to throw on today. No, you don’t have to debate between your old ugly sweats and a pair of jeans — get the best of both worlds of feeling comfortable and looking cute.
Artcare Shop / Etsy
Artcare Shop is a Nashville-based small biz making stylish, quality, and comfy essentials. Also, they call the pants in this set the “Jasmine Joggers” because they were designed to fit like Jasmine’s pants in Aladdin!
Promising review: “Sooo, I’m obsessed with this. I have it in blue lavender and charcoal now, and both are perfect! The material is so soft and plush and warm (like, impressively high quality), and I love the high-waisted pants! I don’t remember how I found this shop, but I’m so glad I did. Also — I ended up exchanging sizes, and it was the easiest exchange of my life! And shipping is always super quick!” —Caroline Morris
Get it from Artcare Shop on Etsy for $120+ (available in sizes XS–XL and nine colors).
10. A pair of fleece-lined sweats reviewers say kept them warm even in 30-degree weather (although I seriously hope it isn’t getting that cold any time soon…).
Promising review: “So cozy! My house is an icebox in the winter, and I often wear leggings under sweats and still end up shivering. But these sweats keep me sooooo warm! They are pretty bulky (my partner thought I was wearing snow pants), but I’m just wearing them around the house, so I’m fine with looking like the Michelin man.” —Jennifer
Get them from Amazon for $27.91+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 16 colors).
11. A pair of snuggly lace-up Ugg ankle boots for a unique twist on the classic boot, if you wanna keep all the warmth and comfort while still standing out from the crowd.
Pick up some waterproofing spray so you can wear them in slushy weather!
Promising review: “My Uggs feel like they’re hugging my feet. And it feels like I’m walking on a cloud. I love them. 10/10…buy them, you won’t regret it.” —patty kephart
Get it from Amazon for $154.95 (available in sizes 5–12 and two colors).
12. A luxurious shawl made of faux fur that is the perfect outer layer for any fall wedding you may be attending, or maybe just a fancy date night.
13. A super soft popcorn yarn cardigan that’s the closest you’re gonna get to a socially acceptable way of wearing an ultra-comfy robe out in public. And when you finally get back home, just imagine how cozy it’ll be to snuggle up with this sweater on the couch. 🥰
Promising review: “I love it! It is the perfect weight and is VERY soft! It will be good for fall, winter, and spring, but it is also good for cool mornings or evenings in summer. It came shrink-wrapped and smelled a little strong. I machine-washed on gentle and laid flat to dry. Washed beautifully! Looks great! Glad I bought two!! :).” —Cindylou
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).
14. A teddy coat, which I personally think should be a staple in everyone’s closet (I think I have like four versions of teddy coats and pullovers lol…oops). This is a great option when the temperature starts to drop, but you’re not willing to break out the full-on parka yet.
Promising review: “I wanted a nice, fashionable, warm coat for this fall. And I have to say, I’m obsessed with this coat! It’s exactly what I expected it to be. It looks amazing, it is easy to combine with other clothes, and it’s warm! The zipper might be a bit annoying sometimes, as it gets trapped in the fur, but with a bit of patience and technique, it will no longer be a problem. Be ready for some fur leftovers in your other clothes too, but nothing too much, in my opinion. I’ve been wearing it nonstop these days, and I do not intend to stop!” —Ana Davis
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL, two styles, and 20 colors).
15. A poncho cape that takes the vibe of throwing your fave comfy blanket over your shoulders and transforms it into something you’re allowed to wear out in public…and to formal events at that. Pop the hood up, and you’ll be in the coziest cocoon ever.
Promising review: “10 out of 10. Lays perfectly. I am always aware of this length making me look funny. This is heavy and cut to lay so perfectly! Super soft, no fur falls off. Don’t want to take it off. Like a blanket. FYI, perfect for those of us and hot flashes. Arms out for cooling and in for warmth. The hood is big.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in seven colors).
16. A fuzzy three-piece loungewear set bound to become your new WFH uniform. And with the added duster on top, you can absolutely deem this worthy of your weekly Target run or casual lunch with friends.
Promising reviews: “I love it! Fits perfectly and has a stretchy, soft fabric. I can live in this outfit.” —Dona St. Clair
“I’m in love with this set! 💫 It’s so soft and cozy, like walking around wrapped in a cloud. The long cardigan adds instant warmth and style, and the pants and top fit perfectly — super comfortable without feeling tight. You can relax at home or even step out for errands and still look chic. After washing, it keeps its shape and color. Honestly, it’s one of those outfits you never want to take off! 🥰”—Mariam
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and six colors).
17. A pair of lined mittens that’ll make cold fingers a thing of the past! The plush fleece adds SO much more warmth, so you’ll actually be able to feel your hands while you’re outside making snowmen.
Amazon
Promising review: “I live in Minnesota. We’ve had sub-zero temps a lot lately. My lined gloves don’t keep my hands warm while I’m out waiting for the bus. I got these in the mail today. Super soft. My fingers are now warm. I love the gray. I am so satisfied that I’m buying another pair!” —waterlily
Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 11 colors and two-packs).
18. A cable-knit sweater, which will be great to throw on under a jacket or wear on its own to showcase the unique knit detail.
Promising review: “I’ve been looking for a good cable knit sweater for a while and found this one. I wouldn’t say it’s extremely oversize, so true to size would work. It’s pretty comfortable, not scratchy, and perfect for layering with a vest, as it has just enough thickness to get away with not having to wear a coat. I would say it keeps its shape after washing, too. I haven’t noticed it getting stretched out. I’ll be ordering more colors for sure!” —Lisa Grant
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 20 colors).
19. Fleece-lined leggings to keep your lower half nice and toasty, because we always think about wearing coats but never anything to protect our legs?! Like, I can’t be the only one who is overheating on the top but is basically numb from the waist down?!
These are also water-resistant and can keep them from getting wet in light rain or snowfall.
Promising review: “I bought some of these for my daughter two or three years ago, and she loved them. I finally decided to give them a try. I am so glad I did!! I’m a fan for life. They are warm and soft on the inside and feature a nice water-resistant finish on the outside. These would be great to wear on a very chilly day for a walk. The color looks just like the picture, and there is no sheerness with these at all!!” —tracy
Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL, two lengths, three versions, and 22 colors).
20. A fuzzy sweater you may never want to take off your body again. With the added high-low detail and split hem, you can easily tuck in the front while keeping the back out to give you that cute put-together look without having to stuff a huge, bulky sweater into your waistband.
21. A faux-shearling moto jacket that combines the style of a pleather jacket with the luxurious warmth of faux fur to keep you extra bundled up. The diagonal zipper and belt detailing are just the icing on the cake.
Promising review: “Really an excellent steal! Just like the one from Zara, but more comfortable, half the price, and warmer. Wore it a few times and already got a dozen compliments.” —Aleksandra Teichman
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes S–XL and six colors).
22. A chic sweater with an asymmetrical hem that is long enough to cover your bum. This means you don’t have to worry about your cheeks getting cold while your whole upper body is toasty.
Promising review: “Ordered a small in the white version of this sweater and holy cow! I intend to buy this in black as well, so impressed. This sweater is incredibly soft and stretchy, and comfortable. It does run slightly large in my opinion; however, I wouldn’t order a size down. This has been washed several times since I ordered it, and I am impressed with how it’s held up. 10/10 would recommend to a friend! Great value for the money spent.” —Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 20 colors).
23. A button-down shacket, which combines the adorable style of a plaid shirt with the warmth of a jacket, creating the ultimate top. As soon as you put it on, you’re gonna want to call up all your friends to sit outside and drink some hot chocolate.
Promising review: “I absolutely love this!! Fits perfectly! It’s long and a little big. How I want it. Quality is amazing! Very thick fabric. Will keep you warm with style!! Looks much better in person! I’ve received so many compliments!! I’m definitely ordering more in different colors. 😍” —Tonya Green
Get it from Amazon for $29.98 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors).
24. A pair of sheepskin insole inserts you can add to any pair of shoes to give them an incredibly snuggly layer. Every step will be like a soothing, warm hug for your feet.
Promising review: “Bought these as a refresher for my son’s slippers. I know they won’t last forever. Neither did the original liners from the slippers themselves. They all flatten out, hence purchasing another set now. These were easy to trim up to fit inside something that is now the shape of his foot. They are a little expensive but not so much as buying a whole new set of slippers, so I find it an acceptable price.” —Heather Lunar
Get them from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in women’s sizes 6–12, men’s sizes 8–14, two colors, and a two-pack).
25. A pair of fuzzy socks for the ultimate comfy and warm feeling wrapped around your feet. Good thing these come in a multi-pack, cause your feet would freeze without them when they’re in the wash.
Promising review: “These socks were a great value. My husband found them pretty quickly after I said I needed to buy socks because the weather was getting colder. I love them! They’re thick, but not so thick that they’re uncomfortable to wear. Good for lounging in the house.” —Michael W.
Get seven pairs from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in a variety of styles).
26. An open-front cardigan in a gorgeous plaid design, because plaid screams fall. It’s long enough to help you keep the tops of your legs warm, and you can wrap yourself up nice and tight for extra coziness.
27. A machine-washable wearable blanket hoodie you’ll never want to take off. This is the ultimate option for warmth and softness — you may never wanna come out of it. And don’t let societal standards take you down, this would be *perfect* for the sidelines at your kiddos’ games when you wanna get up and down to cheer and don’t want your blanket to keep falling off.
Promising review: “Love, love! Our home is very cold in winter, and the humidity makes it feel even colder. Plus, I am cold-natured, so I dress in layers. This is so warm and keeps me cozy on the coldest days/nights. I really enjoy the pocket hand warmer and the hood. Just right for reading on the sofa on cold evenings. Enjoy it and wear it often.” —D Harrison
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three sizes and eleven colors).
