The comfortable and stylish '90s relaxed jeans have won over the hearts of many, including myself. In fact, I actually own multiple pairs of these jeans in various colors, and I find them to be true-to-size. I usually struggle with jeans (don’t we all) when I order them online because they’re either too loose in the butt, too tight in the waist or something else entirely. These are extremely slimming and hug my figure to a T without feeling too snug or uncomfortable. You see, the high-waist jeans are made from 99 percent cotton and one percent elastane, which gives them that snug yet stretchy feel that I like. And I really appreciate that the leg tapers off into a slightly wider shape at the thighs while still remaining straight through the hem. They look especially sharp when styled with a pump. Best of all, they come in multiple colors, from oat to silver to this dark wash, and lengths that run from extra short to extra long in order to accommodate various heights.

Chanel-inspired tweed jackets like this are all the rage in the PureWow office. And this collarless jacket is made from a soft tweed material and features gold button embellishments in the front to give it a luxe quality that's not at all cheap-looking. One buyer mentions that every detail, from the material to the buttons, looks luxurious and pretty, though they do note that the silhouette is quite boxy. One way to give it some shape is to leave the bottom buttons open for a ‘lax look that’s slightly sexy and shows off the top of your jeans.

Whether you’re participating in Football Sunday activities with your hubby or recovering from a girl’s brunch that went hard on the mimosas, the easy fit and super soft knit on this Fairisle cardigan will feel unbelievably cozy and luxuriously supple against your skin as you lounge. But don’t just take my word for it: “I feel like a teddy bear wearing this,” gushes one buyer. “It’s incredibly warm and soft. I recommend hand washing to avoid pilling.” If you prefer a more tailored fit, I suggest sizing down from your usual size to avoid the boxy look that some reviewers mention, otherwise most customers say it runs true-to-size.

When I think of holiday party dresses, I think of this darling shift mini dress. It’s sleek and sophisticated, cute and dainty (just look at that bow detail), plus super sexy with that plunging V-neckline and open V-back. Reader beware, I suspect you’ll receive a *ton* of compliments and double takes while you’re wearing this.

“This dress is so comfortable, perfectly oversize and just beautiful,” raves an Abercrombie & Fitch buyer. “The material and pattern remind me of my favorite cozy Christmas blanket. It’s my new favorite piece in my closet!” Pair it with a sleek pair of leather knee-high boots for a combination that’ll look like you just walked off a runway.

In addition to Classic Fit, Abercrombie & Fitch has the Curve Love Fit—which provides an additional two inches through the hips and thighs. Made from the same cotton and elastane blend of the other pairs, these ultra high-waist jeans are designed to fit around the waist and bum without gaping, tapering off along the thighs into a loose and relaxed straight leg. The high fit at the waist is an especially great option for those who have a longer torso and struggle to find jeans that sit at or above the belly button. Its superior stretch and vintage ’90s style make it a winner in my book.

Cozy, roomy and just long enough to hit at the middle of your hips, this trendy faux-suede jacket is made from a pillowy soft blend of materials, including polyester and elastane. If you always tend to wear a basic jacket or blazer, this piece is the perfect swap for a more elevated finish, and it just so happens to be one of the most popular outerwear items to own.

Your man will love the familiarity of this quarter-zip sweater. It’s comfortable, soft (hello, heavyweight merino wool-blend) and slim-yet-spacious, thanks to that relaxed fit. And unlike his go-to sweatshirts, this knit is more elevated and stylish for date night. What’s more, it has a rib stitching details throughout and a quarter-zip detail, so it’s simultaneously casual and polished. I call that a win-win.

Psst: I found your outfit for this year’s holiday party. Draping details along the bodice will give you a dreamy silhouette, while the smooth, velvet fabric adds a touch of softness to the dress that'll photograph beautifully. And to complete the winning trifecta: The dress features slim-fit long sleeves that complement the elegant cut of the dress and balance out the short length, too. Wear the mini dress with a pair of stockings at the next holiday party for a chic and classy look. Oh, and did I mention that it’s machine washable?

When it comes to cold weather dressing, a slim-fit sweater is to winter what a plain white T-shirt is to summer. Made from a cozy fabric, the ribbed sweater looks especially chic when paired with a statement belt. Available in a range of colors, such as black, light gray and deep green, to name a few, it hugs the body and features a foldover turtleneck that’s just begging to be layered under a chunky sweater or wool coat.

Every closet deserves a sweater dress, and this maxi is giving major DISSH vibes at a fraction of the cost. It’s made from a soft merino wool-blend fabric that’s warm and flattering. And I can’t get enough of the button-up design that manages to be both tasteful and sexy, especially depending on how you many you choose to leave undone. Not to mention, it creates nice movement in the skirt that makes it easier to walk in.

Crafted from soft, sweater-knit fabric, I predict that you’ll fall hard for this piece the moment you put it on. The relaxed fit provides ample breathing room around the armpits and chest, and the versatile classic cut will look just as good untucked as it will tucked into the waist of your pants. Don’t worry about it being itchy, either, because buyers rave about how soft it is. In fact, one reviewer says, “The first day I wore it, I literally changed into my pajama pants and kept the sweater on until I actually went to sleep...it’s that comfy.”

Behold: the winter BFF you didn’t know you needed. Warm up in wind- and water-resistant luxe sueded nylon fabric. The puffer features a functional (and removable!) hood, an adjustable interior drawcord, an interior zip pocket, storm cuffs and fleece-lined side pockets. Even better, it’s filled with recycled material and “there is a liner inside that is sooooo soft,” writes one reviewer. “This coat is puffy and so warm and comfy. I actually can’t wait for it to snow now so I can wear it everywhere!”

Light, breathable and undeniably cool, these bottoms are just right for hitting the gym, running errands or curling up on the couch. The stretchy waistband is as comfortable as it is flattering, and it’s made with from a cotton and polyester blend that’s designed to have a soft, comfy and heavyweight feel to it that’ll be especially ideal for cooler temps. The best part? It has pockets! So, what’ll it be: light gray, deep green, dark blue or one of the other dreamy hues?

The classic, wool-blend coat is selling fast on Abercrombie & Fitch, so I won’t be surprised if it sells out in all five colorways (dark olive green, light brown, black, brown pattern and black pattern) before the Black Friday sale is over. “[It’s an] extraordinarily cool coat,” says one customer. “You can dress it up or dress it down as you wish. I took mine to Paris and Brussels and I received tons of compliments from my friends in Europe.” No detail goes unnoticed on this sleek and luxe number, from the concealed, double-breasted button-up front to the interior chest pocket.
