1
A plaid shacket with a drop-shoulder design
Reviewers say this runs large, so depending on the type of fit you're going for, you may want to order a size down. It's available in sizes XS–XXL and in 13 colors/styles.

Promising review: "What’s not to love about this jacket??? It’s soft but has a good weight to it. Color is on trend but classic enough to be a fave for a number of years. Paired it with blue jeans, black jeans and leggings all for different looks and received many compliments. Love that it has side pockets — they could be a bit bigger though — but better than no pockets! Def recommend this as a fall and winter staple! I’m 5’5", 145lbs; ordered a medium and it fits the way I thought!" — Wendy M.

A pair of breathable high-waisted and fleece-lined leggings
They're available in sizes XS–3XL, in 19 colors, and in three different pocket options.

Promising review:
"I bought this pair of leggings initially so I could have something warm and comfortable to wear while working at home that wasn't just a pair of sweatpants — they ended up becoming a staple of my workout wardrobe too! I ended up getting two more pairs in the no-pocket style so I can cycle through them during the week for my outdoor walks/runs. Fit-wise, if you're not looking for something super-snug, I'd suggest going a size up. The legs are a little long on me, but I'm short (5'1") and I'm used to things being a little long on me. My only gripe about these is that the side pocket isn't anywhere near big enough to hold my phone, but I've got a huge phone, so I'm used to it not fitting in pockets easily. Long story short: I love these, and if you're looking for warm leggings, either for working out or for lounging around the house, you should get a pair of these." — Beth Lynn Nolen

It's become a wardrobe staple for me, and I have to remind myself to limit how often I wear it because I want to wear it everyday! It stretches perfectly, it's warm without being hot, the pockets are perfectly sized and placed, I could go on and on! I love this jacket! It washes well, travels well, keeps its shape and keeps you warm!" — Alexa

A faux leather jacket
It's available in sizes XS-XXL and in 22 colors.

Promising review:
"I have been trying so hard to find a duplicate faux leather jacket to replace the one I purchased from Forever 21 a few years ago. With that being said, I fell upon this baby right here on Amazon. I must say, I LOVE IT! Definitely a purchase I am satisfied with. I compared my measurements with the size chart provided and picked a size closer to my preferred fit and I just couldn't be happier with what I got. It's my STAPLE JACKET now." — LilRed

A pair of drawstring golf pants
These are machine-washable and available in sizes XXS–XXL and in 17 colors.

Promising review: "These are staples in my wardrobe. I’ve got kids and momming definitely means running around all day long and these pants fit the bill. Comfy, easy to clean, and stylish." — Nicole P.
11
A lightweight jumpsuit
It's available in sizes S–3XL and 35 colors/patterns.

Promising review:
"Y'all. If heaven were a piece of clothing, it would be this jumpsuit. The fabric is so buttery soft and it is so cute and chic. You can easily dress it up with accent jewelry and some cute shoes, or nap in it. It has a cute boatneck cut, but if you leave the top keyhole unbuttoned you can achieve the hanging off the shoulder look. It is the perfect amount of 'baggy'. I probably could have ordered a small, but I am happy with the medium. Will definitely be re-ordering in other sizes. This is a new staple piece in my closet." — Rachel Landrum
12
A chunky soft knit cardigan
It's available in sizes S–3XL and in 29 colors.

Promising review:
"Just as expected. If you want a baggier and oversized look I would recommend going up a size. I got a medium and it is just the right amount of oversize for me. The quality is nice as well, love my new black cardigan! It's a great staple piece." — Alexis A.
13
A lightweight mock-neck sweater
It's available in sizes XS–6X and in 16 colors.

Promising review:
"I am so pleased with these sweaters. I normally wear a medium sweater, so I ordered the black, charcoal, and navy in medium and they are an instant staple in my wardrobe. They fit perfectly and go well with a pencil skirt or trousers for the office. 10/10 would recommend." — Lane Augustine
14
A long-sleeve tunic top
It's available in sizes S–XXL and in 12 colors.

Promising review:
"Love love love this sweater! Warm enough without being bulky. I want one in every color! Color is true to pictures. No defects. Definitely a great fall staple. You will not be disappointed with this purchase!" — April

Klassy Network
A pair of modish cargo pants
Klassy Network is an Asian-American woman-owned small business based in Orlando, Florida, that sells stylish clothing, including their TikTok-viral Brami top (aka a top that provides amazing support and doesn't require a bra underneath!). These pants are available in sizes XXS–3XL and in three colors.

Promising review: "The cargos are perfect staple piece for my outfits! I get to wear a complete Klassy Network outfit, and it feels great. I am 5’2" and my pant size varies from size 6–8. I ordered a medium and it fits perfectly! I like the high-rise look, so I never got it hemmed, but I'm obsessed it’s perfect for when I want to wear heels and dress up." — Alexis T.
16
A super versatile long-sleeve bodysuit
It's also available with fleece-lined material and in a short-sleeved option. Grab it in sizes XS–XXL and in 24 colors.

Promising reviews: "This body suit is perfection. Comfortable and now a staple in my wardrobe for casual occasions, work, or even going out. It's versatile! Love it." — Amanda S.

"I'm usually not a bodysuit gal but these are so comfortable. The material is light but not cheap looking. There is plenty of room in the torso so it doesn't ride up like some bodysuits. It fits snugly but not too tight. They are great staple items for pants, jeans, skirts and shorts. I purchased three and will be buying more." — Jerr
17
A buttery soft ribbed knit long sleeve
It's available in sizes S–XXL and in 26 colors.

Promising review:
"I got this shirt in a large (I usually wear a medium) because I wanted to be able to wear it with leggings, but also have a little room in it. I have washed it, no shrinkage. I do hang it to dry just because I don’t want the colors to fade, which nothing has shown me in the washing process that it will. Just ordered my second one in a different color, great staple to my wardrobe and so grateful I have found this shirt." — Kirsten Fountain
18
An open-front knit cardigan
It's available in sizes S–XL and in 18 colors.

Promising reviews:
"I bought this to go over some of my winter dresses. Love the color and it is so comfortable! It will be a staple in my closet now!" — Dana L K Night

"This is a classic, must-have wardrobe staple. Very well constructed. Beautiful weight and knit is smooth and soft. Hold its shape." — janice
19
A plaid overall dress
It's available in sizes XS–3XL and in 19 styles.

Promising review:
"Other reviews said to size up, so I did. I first ordered the XL, that felt too big so I got the medium and that was the winner. In an ideal world I would have mixed and match — the fit of the large on my hips and the fit of the medium on my waist/chest. But I can deal with the hips being a little snug, it kind of works with this style. Once I got the sizing figured out, the quality of this dress is INCREDIBLE. So beautifully made and I love the pattern!!! Will be a staple for fall." — C. Cole
20
A pullover striped sweater
It's available in sizes S–XXL and in 29 styles.

Promising review:
"Extremely comfortable. Not itchy. Did wear a tank top under it as I was afraid there would be areas that were see-through. The sleeves are perfectly loose. Perfect sweater staple!" — Kyndall D
21
A loose overall jumpsuit
Because these are cotton, reviewers recommend sizing up to account for shrinking, or sticking with your regular size and line-drying them. They're available in sizes XS–5XL and in 20 colors).

Promising review: "I absolutely adore these! I teach third grade and these are the most comfortable staple in my closet! I don't have to think and try on a million outfits to feel just right. I love to grab one of these jumpers (yes I have several they are that good!) and simple solid colored T-shirt and I'm out the door. I also love the adjustable straps and pockets!" — Missy
22
A button-up oversized blazer
It's available in sizes S–L and in 17 colors.

Promising review:
"You can absolutely never go wrong with a classic camel blazer, and this one is even trendier since it's slightly oversized. I still think it's fitted enough to be a wardrobe staple and not wane as trends fade away, though. I can dress it down with a cute crop top and some mom jeans, or dress for work with a cami top and some white slacks. It's such a versatile jacket and I'm pretty excited to style it a billion different ways this spring. The material is quite nice, too, and the lining will keep you pretty warm, especially in the shade or in the heavily air-conditioned office. Go ahead and take a chance on this one; it's been one of the best additions to my wardrobe this season and I foresee this piece serving me for lots of years to come." — Bibby928

An A-line woolen midi skirt
It's available in sizes XS–3XL and in 36 styles.
