The Sultry Bustier That Actually Stays Up

A Classic Flannel Shirt In Loads Of Colorful Plaids

I'm generally a women's small in tops and I got a medium here for a quite loose and oversize fit that's super comfy. It looks smashing complementing a crop top with the sleeves rolled up, and really is the quintessential traditional flannel shirt.”

The Joggers That Are Stylish Enough To Go Out In

- Available colors: 10
- Available sizes: X-Small — 7X
23
A Cropped Shirt That Elevates The Typical Tee
“In my opinion, this is a perfect cropped tee. I love the boxy, relaxed fit, comfy crewneck, and lightweight cotton jersey material, plus the seam on the back adds a bit of interest. I just pair it with high-waisted jeans and I'm ready to go.”
- Available colors: 10
- Available sizes: XX-Small — 5X
24
These Versatile Cotton Socks That Feel & Look Fabulous

- Available sizes: 5 — 11

These Super Shiny Leggings That Level-Up The Look

- Available sizes: X-Small — 3X
26
A Sultry Mesh Bra That Fits Well & Provides Support

- Available colors: 9
- Available sizes: 34A — 38DD
27
These Cute Tennis Skorts For A Preppy-Casual Vibe
“I wore this houndstooth tennis skirt the whole summer. It fit the preppy-cheap vibe I was going for with a classic houndstooth print, and it also works in cooler weather layered with a sweater or jacket. Tennis skirts are my favorite because they have the ease of shorts — but with a nostalgic, dressier appeal that makes an outfit more fun. This one is not only comfortable, it also has three pockets that can hold a phone, keys and a bank card.”
- Available colors: 27
- Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
28
This Pretty Paperclip Necklace & Bracelet Set That Looks Expensive But Isn’t
“I love the look of Tiffany HardWear jewelry, but my budget isn’t quite big enough for Fifth Avenue. This gold chain necklace and bracelet set from Benevolence LA gives me a similar aesthetic and looks chic across seemingly every dress code: I’ve worn it everywhere from brunch in New York to dinner in Paris. It offers solid quality, besides. The 14-karat gold plate is luxe yet subtle and has yet to irritate my skin — plus, every purchase contributes to a charity that fights poverty.”
- Available colors: 1
- One size
29
A Gorgeous Shirt Dress That’s So Sophisticated
“This is one of my favorite day dresses. It’s classic yet trendy with its collared shirtdress silhouette and playful tiered skirt. The prints are sophisticated but skew creative — I’m partial to the abstract brushstroke — and look fantastic paired with any of your neutral accessories. The lightweight fabric is surprisingly opaque, although you might want an extra layer in the colder months, while its gauzy texture disguises wrinkles like a champ.”
- Available colors: 12
- Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
30
This Cushy Oversize Turtleneck That’s As Comfy As A Sweatshirt
“Cozy meets chic in this oversize turtleneck, which I basically live in during the colder months. (These leggings also figure prominently.) It basically feels like your most comfortable sweatshirt but looks way more polished which, incidentally, also makes it perfect for travel. The body is loose and slouchy to give you plenty of ease and room to layer, while the fitted sleeves create some balance so you’re not drowning in the silhouette. Its viscose-based knit is silky-soft, too, with just enough thickness and a nice amount of drape.”
- Available colors: 44
- Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
31
A Soft, Funnel-Neck T-Shirt That Looks So Chic

- Available colors: 4
- Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
32
An Off-Shoulder Tunic That Is Super Cozy & Versatile
“This tunic feels like a sweatshirt, but the off-the-shoulder design adds style. I like pairing it with leggings or jeans and adding a necklace. The cotton-modal fabric blend has some added spandex, which makes it even cozier than I could have imagined.”
- Available colors: 11
- Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
33
This Ribbed Sweater Tank That Looks Great Under A Jacket
“This top is seriously one of my favorites (I wear it all the time). Its sleeveless rib-knit design isn't too warm, and I usually pair it with a denim or leather jacket. It's even a little stretchy, which is a plus.”
- Available colors: 3
- Available sizes: XX-Small — 5X
34
A Unique Smocked Shirt With Cuffs That’s Perfect For Dressing Up
“This shirt is as lightweight as a tee but the subtle puff sleeves and smocked cuffs give it a totally chic vibe that is easy to dress up. I think this top really shines because it's super versatile, I can wear it with jeans to brunch or with a skirt for a fancier night out.”
- Available colors: 8
- Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
35
The Jeggings That Look Great & Are As Comfy As Leggings
“I literally don't wear any other pants anymore, these are my absolute favorites. I own them in two colors and have a few other options sitting in my Amazon cart at all times. These pull-on jeggings are as comfortable as any leggings I own and super stretchy, but they have a structured design that doesn't sag even when I wear them for multiple days.”
- Available colors: 8
- Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
36
A Chic Crossbody Purse That Punches Above Its Weight
“I get compliments on this bag anytime I carry it, and people can't believe it was from Amazon. The crocodile print makes me feel trendy, and I love my hot pink bag especially for a little Barbiecore moment (though I think the other colorways are fabulous too). This bag is surprisingly roomy, and I love the hidden front pocket so I can just throw my Metrocard and credit card in there for easy, fast transactions.”
- Available colors: 15
- Available sizes: One size
37
A Knit Hoodie That Is So Soft & Sumptuous
“Totally comfy yet chic, this knit hoodie has quickly become my fall go-to top. It's a great WFH shirt that also looks a bit more dressed up than your basic hoodie for school dropoff. I love the rich chocolate hue, and it's long enough to look good over leggings if I don't feel like wearing jeans.”
- Available colors: 13
- Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
38
These Fashion-Forward, Chunky Sunglasses That Cost Under $20
“No need to spend more than $20 on sunnies — this is my new favorite pair, and it checks all the boxes. These are lightweight, and they're stylish enough to regularly garner compliments. The cat eye shape is timeless while the chunkier frame is trendy. I love the amber color for a warm neutral that switches it up from my usual black. Get them!”
- Available colors: 12
- One size
39
A Soft Hoodie Sweatshirt Dress That Is Casual & Comfy
“I have this hoodie dress in two colors and love that it's casual, comfy, and cute. The mini length makes it more wearable than longer versions I've seen elsewhere, and it's really held up after several washes.”
- Available colors: 12
- Available sizes: XX-Small — 5X
40
A Classic Button-Down That’s So Well-Made
“Amazon’s in-house brands are amazing resources for basics, and this button-down shirt is particularly well-made. The cotton poplin has a slightly rumpled texture that looks inherently effortless, and the fit is spot-on — relaxed enough to wear as an overshirt in lieu of a cardigan, but it’s still slim enough to look polished when buttoned up and tucked in. I have this in three shades: white, French blue stripe, and pink stripe, the latter two of which I’ve been styling with socks, loafers, and straight-leg jeans to channel my mom (or, let’s face it, my dad) in the ‘90s.”
- Available colors: 21
- Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
41
These Bootcut Yoga Pants You Can Wear Out On The Town
“As soon as I put on these flared yoga pants, I ordered two more pairs. They’re smooth, seamless, and the V waistband offers the gentlest compression. They’re the perfect work-from-home or travel pants, but the flare leg makes them feel chic enough to wear out — which I have, many times and without shame, styled with platform boots and a cropped knit cardigan.”
- Available colors: 11
- Available sizes: XX-Small — XX-Large
42
A Warm & Fuzzy Teddy Bear Coat That Looks Polished
“This cozy jacket is perfect for making any outfit read a little more put together. I love the boxy fit and just-right length. And it's nicely lined for a little added warmth. I have way too many coats in my closet but this is the one I end up reaching for the most.”
- Available colors: 11
- Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
43
This Easy Ribbed Tank Dress That Feels So Good On
“I'm a huge fan of a one-and-done dress and this scoop-neck midi dress is just that. So easy to throw on and go and look like you made an effort! The material feels expensive, too.”
- Available colors: 10
- Available sizes: XX-Small — 5X
44
A Crisp Smocked Top That Is Pretty & Versatile
“The perfect simple top to wear for just about anything, from the farmer's market to happy hour. I love that it's all cotton and feels crisp. I own it in white but I'm also eyeing it in the neutral tan and black. One note: I would size up one size from what you normally wear if you don't want the smocking to be constricting.”
- Available colors: 7
- Available sizes: XX-Small — 5X
