Promising review: "I love the fit of this boot. My heels don't slide up in them because they have some shaping around the heel inside, the mark of a more expensive boot. They fit right out of the box. I wore them around the house and didn't want to take them off! Walked around Portland and very comfortable, no break-in period. I sized up by a half-size, which I typically do in booties." —Ginger

Promising review: "This jacket is beautiful — the color is great, the fit is great. Most importantly, this jacket is warm. I live in the Midwest, so cute jackets are fine, but I need something that’s going to stand up to a Midwestern winter, and this one does. I ordered a large. I could have gotten a medium, but the large gives me room for thicker sweaters. 10/10 would order again." — Andrea

And you totally can because they don't stretch out after the first wear. In fact, Madewell says to wait up to 10 wears before washing.

Promising review: "I do not know how to accurately express my love for these jeans. I'd marry these jeans. I'd give my left arm for these jeans. I'd overdraft my account for these jeans. These jeans are unbelievably comfortable and are amazing quality. I wear them maybe 85% of the time, and they still look brand-new a year later. I have yet to find an item of clothing that is as good as these jeans. They make your legs and hips look incredible. Seriously. I cannot recommend this product more." — Liza44

Promising review: "THE COAT is the most comfortable coat I’ve ever owned! It’s very warm but not super heavy. I was surprised by how light the coat felt and how warm it kept me. I also love how long it is! The hood is attached and lined with the softest and comfy Sherpa type material. There are several pockets with zippers to keep a beanie, my phone and whatever else I need so I don’t have to carry a purse. I ordered both small and XS, and both fit me but I ended up keeping the small because I like my coats to have a little room to layer underneath and my sleeves to be longer. This is the best coat I've ever owned!" — Toni Wheaton

These shoes are specifically designed to be super lightweight — in fact, each one only weighs 1 pound. Plus, they're waterproof, anti-microbial and have an oh-so-chic look.

Promising review: "I have had my eye on these shoes for quite some time. They seemed minimal, good quality, and a great everyday shoe that I could throw on yet still look classy. Despite my love for them prior to receiving them, they still blew my expectations out of the water. They are all the things I anticipated, becoming a quick wardrobe staple, but are also just so dang comfortable. 'Travel' does not just pertain to their packability, I could totally see myself walking 20,000 steps around Amsterdam with these shoes on my feet." — Kristen K.

Promising review: "These will go down in history as one of the best pair of leggings I have ever purchased. Be it burpees, squats or jumping jacks, these babies won't let you down. The fabric is like butter. I have two pairs and am beginning to get the eyebrow raise from the hubs as they are all I wear, in and out of the gym." — milesfromperfection

Promising review: "This is my second pair of Greats and like the first pair, I get compliments them all the time, great quality, comfortable. I love that they take a few days to 'break-in' the leather, and even the break-in days aren't painfully, the leather is just stiffer. Plus, they're fresh white kicks, so they go with everything!" — Claudia D.

Get them from Greats for $179 (available in sizes 6-10 and in 14 colors).

I absolutely love it, and it fits perfectly and can actually be worn in all seasons!! 😊 I highly recommend this jean jacket!! Also, the color is amazing!!" — Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $79.50 (available in sizes XS-4X and in 14 colors).

These are a cult favorite for a reason — they're stylish, comfortable and reliable.

Promising review: "This shoe will never go out of style. I’ve been rocking the Superstar since I was a teenager in the '80s, and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I wear all brands and types of sneakers, but the Superstar will always be my first true love. Now true you have to find your perfect size, but it’s worth the effort. My regular shoe size varies between 8.5 and 9, but I wear an 8 in the Superstar. No slipping on the heel, my toes are comfortable, and the width is perfect. This shoe is just sneaker chic." — amitchell

Get them from Adidas for $85 (available in sizes 5-11 and in 20 colors).

It's time to realize that watches are great pieces of jewelry, even if you still look at your phone when you need to know what time it is.

Promising review: "This is a lovely wristwatch. While the style is simple and crisp with its classy, uncluttered face, the rose gold combined with fog leather band gives an uncommon look to the watch. The price is good for such quality and sleek design. Equally important is that the watch is keeping time as it should—otherwise, I wouldn't be so free with compliments. I am wearing this watch with pleasure!" — JTC
