1

This Stylish Pullover That’s Skyrocketing In Popularity

A top-selling new release, this striped pullover has a few unexpected features that help it stand out from the rest of your wardrobe. The dropped shoulders and ribbed hems in a contrasting color make it both comfortable and chic, plus it’s easy to tuck into a skirt or wear loose with jeans.

  • Available styles: 8

2

A Soft, Lightweight Sweater Reviewers Buy In Multiple Colors

“I buy a new color or two every year,” one reviewer wrote about this Amazon Essentials sweater, all because it’s a lightweight piece “that works on its own or under another layer.” The cotton-modal blend is soft, the ribbed cuffs are stretchy, and the V-shaped neckline makes it look slightly more elevated than your standard oversized sweater.

  • Available sizes: X-Small — 6X
  • Available styles: 33

3

A Velvet Dress That’s Comfy & Practical

Velvet is making a comeback, but this swing dress is much easier to wear and style than a slip. Its longer length, butterfly sleeves, and V-shaped neckline pair well with both heels and flats, while its high elastic waist and functional pockets make it comfortable and practical.

  • Available styles: 11

4

This Knit Loungewear Set That’s Polished Enough To Wear Out

Think of this knit set as the Juicy sweatsuit of today — but so much more polished. The viscose-nylon fabric is soft, stretchy, and lightweight, so you’ll be plenty comfortable while taking Zoom calls or lounging around the house. That said, the wide-leg silhouette and contrasting hems look so put-together, reviewers “get compliments every time [they] wear it.”

  • Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
  • Available styles: 8

5

A Gauzy Blouse You Can Wear So Many Ways

Tuck it into jeans, wear it open over a tank, layer it underneath a vest, pair it with slacks, or tie it in the front. Since this gauzy button-down blouse is lightweight, comes in ample colors and patterns, and has functional buttons, you can wear it in so many different ways. Reviewers also say the fabric feels “like linen” and “drapes incredibly nicely.

  • Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
  • Available styles: 39

6

These Leggings That Reviewers Prefer Over Lululemon

“I usually buy Sweaty Betty and Lululemon leggings, but these are now my go-to pairs,” one reviewer raved, all because they “stay put” and “wear and wash well.” In fact, these high-waisted yoga leggings have an overall 4.6-star rating from almost 55,000 reviewers because of their opaque, four-way stretch fabric that’s buttery soft and has large side pockets.

  • Available sizes: X-Small — 3X-Large
  • Available styles: 23

7

The “Best Dress Pants” Reviewers Have “Ever Worn”

If you’ve ever wished you could get away with wearing pajamas to work, meetings, interviews, or showers, these Lee Flex Motion trousers are the “best dress pants” reviewers have “ever worn.” While they’re still polished thanks to the high waist, single button, belt loops, and tapered leg, the fabric is stretchy and the waistband is designed to resist binding for all-day comfort.

  • Available sizes: 0 — 18 Long
  • Available styles: 9

8

This Flowy Tunic You Can Dress Up Or Down

Dress this tunic dress down with leggings and boots, or dress it up with a clutch, a statement necklace, and heels. Some reviewers also belted it or gave it more shape with a crossbody bag.

Get it in black and shades of brown as well as bolder colors.

  • Available styles: 16

10

Some $9 Belts That Look Way More Expensive

These fashion belts break down to less than $9 each — but because the faux leather looks real and the buckle has a chic gold design, reviewers wrote that “they look more expensive than they are.” Choose the two colors that best suit your wardrobe and use them to secure jeans and slacks or belt dresses and sweaters.

  • Available sizes: S — XXXXL
  • Available styles: 13

This Pleated Chiffon Maxi Skirt That Feels Effortless But Looks So Chic

Some Soft, Stretchy Palazzo Pants That You Could Wear To Work

Wide-leg pants are back, and these Palazzo leggings are suitable for both lounging and working from the office.

These Belts Made With Stretchy, Adaptive Elastic

I have these vintage-inspired belts in four colors, and I use them to add a little more shape and style to oversize sweaters, dresses, and skirts.

An Elevated Take On A Standard T-Shirt

If you’re feeling bored with your basic T-shirts, reach for this flowy top instead. It’s just as comfortable and made from 100% cotton — but its fluttery batwing sleeves and subtle raised-stitch pattern elevate your outfit with minimal effort.

  • Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
  • Available styles: 12

17

These Claw Clips That Actually Work On Thick Hair

Yesteryear’s claw clips might not have done a lot for you except break — but these resin claw clips are much more durable across hair types. “These clips are strong and big enough to hold up my thick hair that goes past my shoulders,” one reviewer wrote, and the tortoiseshell pattern is nostalgic and on-trend.

18

This Flowy Maxi Dress That’s Equal Parts Trendy & Comfy

Puffy sleeves and elastic bodices are two of my favorite trends right now, and this long-sleeve maxi dress combines both of them in a flowy, breathable outfit you can dress up or down.

  • Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
  • Available styles: 25

19

This Velvet Knot Bag That’s Way More Practical Than A Clutch

Clutches may be compact, but they’re rarely practical. This velvet knot bag, on the other hand, is roomy and flexible enough to hold your phone, keys, and lipstick. The straps then crisscross over each other, forming a wrist strap that’s effortless and comfortable to hold.
