1.
A good ol’ Hanes crewneck sweater because it’s a cold weather classic that’s surprisingly versatile. Stick with your normal size or go up a size or two if you prefer the oversized look. You can customize it further with your own screen print designs or even a tie-dye kit.
Promising review: “I bought this as a gift for my father. At first, he and I were both alarmed at how thin it was. I offered to return it, thinking it was just cheap fabric. He decided to keep it anyway and within a few days had called to brag on how warm it was; ‘Remember that sweatshirt you got me? It is really light and thin, but boy is it warm! Warmer than any of my others!’ This was only one month ago, so I can’t testify to how it will hold up in the wash, but for now we are very pleased!” —Littlebig
Get it from Amazon for $7.13+ (available in men’s sizes S–5XL and 24 colors).

Some thick socks to keep your little piggies warm. This set comes with multiple pairs so you can slip out of your dirty socks and slip straight into a clean pair.
Promising review: “First let me say, I am a sock person in the wintertime, hardcore. While socks do not touch my feet during the summer months, I have issues with anemia and once the snow begins to fall my poor toes get cold rather quickly. These are FANTASTIC — soft, warm and the patterns are adorable! These shall be my go-to winter socks for years to come.” —Mombie
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in eight styles).
4.
A sleek pair of faux-leather leggings so you and your 🍑 can feel luxe but also like you’re wearing the world’s softest pajama pants (yes, they’re that comfy!).
Promising review: “I LOVE these leggings. I was a little nervous at first to purchase them because I was afraid that the faux leather wouldn’t stretch or that it would make a ‘squeaky’ noise when walk (since I have thicker thighs) so I was happily surprised when I put them on with ease and they felt great. I got an XL and could have even managed with a L since they stretch really well. So far very satisfied.” —Kayla Rankin
Get them from Amazon for $29.14 (available in sizes XS–4XL and three styles).

A pair of fleece-lined joggers for keeping you nice and toasty while the rest of your pleb roommates huddle by the heater for warmth.
Promising review: “I’m very happy with these warm pants. My house is very cold in the winter, and I am very cold in the winter. A few reviewers commented that the fit is weird. It is not. These are sweatpants, and with a thick lining; what did you expect? They are very comfortable and warm. They are stiffer than regular sweatpants because of the lining. But they are sweatpants-— meaning they were never meant to make you look like a fashion queen. Just imagine curling up on the sofa with hot chocolate and a friendly cat during polar vortex in your fleece lined pants. Nice and cozy!” —Angela Thompson
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and five colors).

A supportive bralette made for busty folks (calling all D–DDD cups!) because you looked at the previous bralette and laughed at the idea of it being able to contain ~the girls~. It has breathable mesh lining and an inner sling for support.
Lively
Promising review: “This bralette is comfy enough for staying at home but supportive enough to feel comfortable leaving the house in. Plus, it feels sexy to me. It my natural shape, just supported.” —Casey R.

A giant hoodie blanket from Shark Tank for any genius who’s ever wished for a blanket they could wear. Tada! Who needs friends or contact with the outside world when you’re swaddled in its warm embrace?
The Comfy also comes with a giant pocket in the front to keep your hands warm and your snacks close by (obviously the most important part), plus the wrists are fitted so you won’t have to worry about dirtying your sleeves.
Promising review: “Have you ever been all warm and cozy under a blanket then have to get up for something and it’s horrifically cold outside of the blanket? That doesn’t happen because you’re literally wearing the blanket! Bought this as a gift and that was the response I got after asking how they liked it.” —Amznshpr123

A wrap sweatshirt if you’re all about clothing with hidden features. This one has pockets *and* a hood — surprise! Reviewers say the drapey fit makes for easy nursing on the go.
Athleta
Reviewers say it’s loose and recommend sizing down.
Promising review: “This is like wearing a blanket…with pockets. It is very soft and the fact that it has pockets makes it flare a bit. The sleeves give you a hug and are snug fitting. I’m very short-waisted, so it covered everything in front. You know it’s awesome when my 10-year-old son commented about how soft it is and asked if they made it in his size. I’m looking at getting another one in a different color.” —Mom of chaos
Get it from Athleta for $89 (available in sizes XXS–XL and seven colors).

Everlane
Get it from Everlane for $78 (available in sizes XXS–XL and three colors).

A pair of lounge pants for comfort connoisseurs. Their MicroModal fabric (read: super freaking comfy and scrumdiddlyumptiously soft) will make you swear off all other sweats.
MeUndies
I own these pants and can attest to how truly wonderful they are. It’s kinda hard to describe the material (if you own any MeUndies products you’ll know what I’m talking about), but suffice it to say they are without a doubt the comfiest, coziest lounge pant I own. You know how nice it feels when you sink into soft bedsheets for the first time after shaving your legs? It feels like that every time I slip into them. Ask me when the last time I washed them was? *shrugs* I have no idea! What I do know is that I really love these pants. The one bad thing I have to say about them — and I’m being really nitpicky — is that the sizing is really weird. Even the XS is quite roomy (and I’m not tiny by any means), so I’d suggest sizing down!
Get it from MeUndies for $68 (available in sizes XS–4XL and 16 colors).

A pair of high-rise Levi’s jeans if unstructured sweatpants aren’t for you but your old denim is just too constricting. Enter: these jeans.
Amazon, Melanie Aman / BuzzFeed
These jeans! Where do I start? Well, first of all, they are surprisingly comfortable. They’ve been my go-to pair since pre-COVID times. I have a bad habit of eating to the point of being uncomfortably full (I just like food, OK?) and these pants never cut into my hips or stomach when I looked about three months pregnant with a baked mac ‘n’ cheese baby. Now that eating in restaurants isn’t really a thing, I’ve still gravitated toward these jeans on days when I just want to feel…normal… I can sit at my desk while wearing them (sometimes I even sit cross legged) and I totally forget I’m wearing denim. And unrelated to their comfort, I love them because 1. they cup my butt nicely and don’t make it look like a pancake and 2. they’re the perfect length for my annoyingly short legs.
Get them from Amazon for $49+ (available in sizes 23–34 and 11 colors).

The general consensus among reviewers is that these pants run a tiny bit big so you may want to consider sizing down. Psst! Don’t forget the matching top.

A mock neck dress to serve as a neutral base layer for all your wintry outfits. Wear it alone on milder days, or create warmth by adding tights, over-the-knee boots, a cozy beanie, and a thick jacket.
Promising review: “I bought the 1X and it fits like it was made for me! I wore the dress to work with a pair of brown leather knee-high boots, and received MANY compliments. The fabric is a good quality. It’s thick but still a jersey material. The turtleneck keeps its integrity all day. I hate when you wear a turtleneck and it gets droopy; this piece holds its shape. This dress is a MUST-buy.” —DeeDee
Get it from Amazon for $30.50 (available in sizes 1X–3X and 7X).

Amazon
Promising review: “I wear tights in the winter months only (I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania). This is a brand I would source out many times over. The tights are soft (not itchy) and thick but not binding and they keep their shape after several washings. They’re pretty too, the herringbone pattern is quite classy and can dress up a basic skirt well. I give a 5-star rating!!!” —Barbi
Get them from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six colors and two sizes).

A classic white T-shirt if you’re searching for a goes-with-everything, so-soft-you’ll-never-take-it-off top.
Katy Herman / BuzzFeed
BuzzFeed writer Katy Herman says, “It’s a perfect crew neck that is modest but shows enough skin that it looks fashionable (read: it doesn’t have that high, almost mock turtleneck that shows up on cheap giveaway tees). It’s a great backdrop for necklaces. It fits like a dream. This tee is comfy and stretchy and not too boxy, but also not so clingy. Yes, as with most white tees you can kind of see the outline of my bra, but not in a way where I’d be uncomfortable wearing it on its own. The material is opaque and feels sturdy. As you can see from the pics, this cutie works great on its own but is also perfectly comfy to layer under a little dress! It’s a new go-to for sure, and I’m thinking of getting the black, too.”
