Promising review: "I was looking for a warm pair of boots to wear to an outdoor dinner party (it’s always cold where I live) and took a chance on these boots based on all of the positive reviews. I was a bit nervous about fit as I’m short and athletic. I needn’t have worried, these are fantastic! They look so much more expensive than they are and they fit this curvy girl like a dream. I did go one half-size up, and I’m glad that I did based on the toe box. So pleased!" —J C

Promising review: "This sweater is sooo soft. Love the detailing on the sleeves. Beautiful shade of blue. Perfect paired with a pair of jeans. Would look great with a skirt as well. Cannot stress how soft it is. So glad I purchased." —Tracy

Get it from Amazon for $44.90+ (available in sizes XXS–3X and four colors).

Promising review: "These are thin and soft and beautiful. It is impossible to find comfortable lounge pants without a thick elastic band at waist until now! These are just fabulous. I’m wearing them to death already. I got the lightest color and they are see-through but I don’t care." —Jennifer M.

Get them from Skims for $58 (available in sizes XXS–4X and four colors) .

Promising review: "Got this in brown and am absolutely obsessed with it. I was looking for this kind of burnt orange color and this is exactly what it looks like. Great quality, super cozy and warm, great for layering with an oversized leather jacket. Can be worn with leggings, skinny jeans or just thigh-high boots for the no-pants look. This sweater is a must for this fall/winter season!" —I S

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 49 colors).

Promising review: "I love everything about these pants! They are extremely thin, so they’re cool and comfortable even in the summer heat. They are extremely roomy, flexible, and flowy. The legs and waist are pretty big/baggy, but you can cinch them as tight as you want/need. These pants are a definite wardrobe staple. They go with everything. I would recommend to anyone." —Drew

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 24 colors).

Promising review: "I love how this turned out. It's a thinner material than I expected but you can't see through it so that's great! I'm also very weird about things touching my neck but the material is so soft that it doesn't bother me at all. It's versatile because I can wear it during the warmer southern fall months and not sweat to death but can also wear it during the colder winter months if paired with a cardigan or jacket." —Elizabeth

Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors).

Promising review: "I love the skirt! The yellow is very vibrant! Like a bright pastel yellow! The material is very light weight. Has a few layers inside. Make sure you pull it down when you put it on. I wore it at an outdoor event , and the weather was humid, and it didn’t make me sweat or feel gross! It feels very nice! I love how is stretches to accommodate your waist. The sizes are very inclusive. I got an extra small for a friend, I recommended one for my mom, and I got one for myself. This is perfect for outdoor events. Easy to walk in! Good for wearing on special occasions. It can really bring out your outfit! I would definitely wear it casually as well." —Autumn Tolbert

Get it from Amazon for $30.88 (available in sizes XS–5XL and 27 colors).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress! The material is perfect for me because it's not too thick but not flimsy at all. I could wear it here almost every season except for the summer. It will look great with boots or pumps, and it's long enough that I can wear it to work. It fits exactly as pictured and is true to size." —Aneglic_KR

Get it from Amazon for $22.39+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 31 colors).

Get it from Asos for $68 (available in sizes XS–XL).

Promising review: "These leggings are AMAZING. I got the green camo print in size medium and they are perfect. They are definitely snug/fitted, which is what I like in leggings, but if wiggling into them isn’t your thing and you’re similar to me (5’8”, about 170 lbs) then you might want to get a large. The pockets are awesome and when I put my phone in there I forget it’s even there. Nice and deep pockets. The material is smooth and spandex-y but thick so I feel secure and can move around without stressing about anything showing. They’re also pretty warm for a chilly fall day which is a bonus for me. I don’t think they’re going to be uncomfortable for working out or anything, I just mean they feel substantial enough to be pants in public. I don’t write a lot of reviews but I loved these and wanted to share! Going to buy more of them :)" —K

Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 39 colors).

I have a pair of these and let me tell you, they're absolutely worth it. I wear them from fall all the way through spring and they do not wear out! The material is so thin and soft yet never fails to keep me warm — I don't know how they do it!

Promising review: "The quality is super soft and not the type of leggings that will fade and cheap out over time! I have several Aerie leggings and these are by far my favorite. I wear them to lounge and even to dress up!" —Rose

Get them from Aerie for $38.46 (originally $54.95, available in sizes XXS–XXL with long, short, or regular options and four colors).

Promising review: "New fall/winter staple. I am absolutely OBSESSED with this puffer vest. It is lightweight and not overbearing, but at the same time it keeps me warm and feels so comfy. I took the advice of other reviews and ordered an extra small even though I'm usually a small, and I'm so glad I did. I love the cropped look that the smaller size gives me. I will certainly be buying this in other colors." —Lydia Spencer

Get it from Amazon for $25.88+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 20 colors).

Promising review: "I have ordered these twice, in different colors, and LOVE them so much. The feel of these jeans is so silky and soft, it's unbelievable how good they feel. I just might order a pair of skinny jeans next. Thank you so much for making a really great pair of jeans!!" —Marla M.

Promising review: "I was a bit concerned getting pants online but I chose the right size and when they arrived they fit me perfectly. I was happy they weren’t too long but they also weren’t too short. I am able to wear them with almost any shoe through the day. I love that they haven’t shrunk after the few times I have washed them. I will definitely be buying these jeans again." —Sarina Tafoya

Promising review: "I got this to be sort of a summer into fall transition item and I’m so surprised by how comfortable it is! If you like things to fit snugly on you, don’t bother getting this because it is loose everywhere unless you tighten it all the way, but it’s super breathable and comfortable! Especially for layering!" —Brie Parry

Promising review: "I love everything about these boots. They are well made, very fashionable, and comfortable.

Promising review: "They're very cute and high quality! The only thing is they are a little snug to slip on and off but they are extremely comfortable. They are a wide set, which is perfect to wear thicker socks with. And the bottom has stars! I want them in every color." —Angie

Get them from Amazon for $48.98 (available in sizes 5–11 and 19 colors).

Promising review: "I ended up buying five pairs in different colors and talked a friend into one. (She loves them). These are top quality. Tailored like fine trousers. Extremely comfortable, soft, flowing material. I can wear year round. Fit is perfect. Washed with no problem. I pressed a little because I like a polished look. They do not wrinkle with wearing. Bonus was they are such a good price!!!" —Chris

Promising review: "I love these sweatshirts. They're the only kind I like to wear. I have several of them in different colors. I love the fit. I bought the light pink in the women's style, but it had a very weird fit. I love the long, baggy fit on these!!! I intentionally buy them too big — it's so cozy! In the colder months I wear these to bed because of how soft and comfortable they are. I love how long the sleeves are. They're the best! If you're looking for a cute oversized sweater, look no further!!! And they have PINK now!!!!!!!!" —MJ

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 32 colors/patterns).

Promising review: "As usual, never know about quality until it's on your hands. This was a beautiful surprise. Great, dark black color. Fabric is not cheap nor does it smell. Compared to my already owned tan London Fog trench, gotta say, really prefer this one. This is a perfect fit. Still room for sweaters and food baby. Lol. Love the length, about three inches below my knee. Really a great fit for a double breasted coat. Inside of coat is a nice beige satin style fabric. Extra buttons included. This coat has a good weight and looks expensive. Can't wait to wear it!" —Ali Galv

Promising review: "I just received this jacket today and WOW was I impressed! The fit was perfect (M). I usually wear a S or M in tops. I ordered a M for this jacket (bust 36"). It's a HOT looking jacket to wear with jeans or you can dress up with pants, dress or skirt. It's lightweight yet looks like real leather. When I ordered it I admit I was skeptical but glad I did, I LOVE IT! I highly recommend." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 18 colors).

Promising review: "I am not someone who likes to wear clothes a second time but I wear this every chance I get. It’s a very good material, it’s warm and cozy. It’s not too thick where I’m sweating but it’s a nice balance. It’s a little oversized on me but that’s what makes it perfect." —Alex K

Get it from Amazon for $25.19+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 23 colors)

Shezza is a woman-owned small business founded by Tiffany Gil who wanted to find a solution for blisters and bloody heels from shoes!

Promising review: "These socks saved my feet. I ordered one pair a few months ago to see how they would last and they were awesome — they protected my heels and washed up nicely. I just ordered a bundle of new ones, so whether it’s my docs or a new pair of running shoes, I’ll be wearing these socks because I can’t live without them now." —Fish

Get it from Vorondolo Knitting on Etsy for $70+ (available in sizes XXS–4XL and men's XS–3XL).

Promising review: "I’ve been on the hunt for a comfortable jean jacket for YEARS but because of my chest size, I’ve never found one because the jean jackets I do find are always so boxy. I tried this with Amazon Wardrobe and it fits like a charm! Very stretchy material, comfortable, and NOT boxy at all. I wanted a jacket with fall coming up before we know it and being a kindergarten teacher, I need to be able to move around freely without feeling constricted. It’s amazing and I ended up purchasing it right after I put it on (Amazon Wardrobe gives you like a week to decide if you want to buy the item or return it)." —Angelica

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and eight colors)

It's from a small biz based in Virginville, Pennsylvania.
