Promising review: "They are literally the best ever!!! I’m going to be purchasing more soon in different colors! They are not see-through and they do not fit awkwardly If you are like me it is hard to find the perfect pair of leggings and I actually heard about these through a girl in one of my college classes who I don’t know. She was just talking out loud about how great her leggings were and I had to ask!!! You cannot go wrong with these!!!!" —Mo

Kitsch is a woman-owned small biz that sells cruelty-free haircare products.

Promising review: "I have long, thick hair. I have tried everything to keep my hair back but ended up with numerous ponytail holders. Not only did the ponytail holders have a tendency to break (sometimes mid-workout), but they also left my hair damaged and dented. The hair coils (I do couple them with a single ponytail holder, loosely fastened) keep my hair in place, even in the most intense workouts!!! Additionally, my hair doesn't get dented, knotted, or broken during my sweat sessions. I was skeptical about this product, but am back for a second (but certainly not last) order!!" —Katie E Ward

Promising review: "This might sound funny, but I am so thankful that I found these socks. They are thick enough to give me some warmth in the winter, but thin enough to wear with my dress shoes. Usually, I would wear a nice trouser sock... sort of a pantyhose thickness, but that's just not warm enough in my office. My shoes are not fitted for thick socks, but these are a fine smooth knit that fits nicely. I've worn and washed them and they are holding up like new." —Kim

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.98+ (available in various styles and packs).

Promising review: "Got these socks last week as I needed a good new set of running socks for my half-marathon training. The tab at the back comes up high enough to protect my ankle from any chafing and the arch support is great on these. I’d be a little hesitant to wear them in the summer for running because they are pretty thick, but otherwise, they’re awesome. I’m a size 7.5 and got the set that fits sizes 5–10, but they are a little on the long side. There’s a little excess length to manage at the bottom of the sock but once they’re on, you don’t really notice it." —Sarah Williams

Promising review: "I was skeptical about these camisoles. I wear camis under my shirts every day and usually go for the more spandex-style ones. I am so glad I gave these a try. They are completely different than camis I normally buy. They’re more cotton than spandex and don’t cling to your body the same way. However, I’ve found that I love this model. They’re so soft and comfortable. I have fibromyalgia and have problems with uncomfortable clothes so these ended up being amazing. They’re the right length to wear under shirts and they’re not too loose so they don’t get all bunched up. And having them be cotton-based, I actually find fewer problems with my shirts riding up over them. I highly recommend these. I hope to purchase more colors of these in the future." —Nicole D

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 13 set options).

Promising review: "I love that this is a thicker material, especially in the front where it crosses over, and can keep you a bit warmer. It doesn't fit nearly as low-cut as in the product image, and can easily be worn to work without another shirt underneath it. Since it's not flimsy, you can wear this in 60-ish degree weather with just a light jacket, or indoors with no extra layers (I am usually cold in offices so this is really convenient)." —s_jm_sf

Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, 15 colors and styles, and two sleeve lengths). And if you're looking for a larger size, this short-sleeve bodysuit is available in sizes 12–24 and in 26 colors.

Promising review: "I looked everywhere for the perfect snuggle pants, but couldn’t find a reputable source. These are perfect! Dense jersey on the outside, thick cozy fleece on the inside. Highly recommended." —Ticorella

Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 10 colors). There's also a really great pair of lined leggings.

Promising review: "This totally exceeded my expectations. It’s super cute and stylish. The only issue is the arms are short! It’s not too bad though. Overall super cute shirt, I ordered more colors!" —Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 37 colors).

FYI, this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give them a trial run if you're a member!

Promising review: "Typically I would purchase large leggings however, other users suggested sizing down, saying these run big, and they were right! I ordered a medium and they fit perfectly. They're comfortable and soft — and a bit long, but for me that's fine because I'm pretty tall and will enjoy rolling these up on warmer days to wear as capris. They look very much like denim and for the price, they are a bargain. Much more comfortable than your average skinny jean. All in all, I would recommend these!" —AgentM87

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in five colors).

Promising review: "I love these earrings. I purchased three other pairs of earrings with these and these are my everyday favorite pair to wear. It's been about three months and they have not tarnished one bit. Stainless steel is what I have been looking for. The clasp is still holding tight too. I totally recommend if you are looking for some hoops!" —Andrea

Get them from Amazon for $9.69 (available in six sizes and three colors).

Promising review: "The absolute BEST underwear EVER. I'm finally wedgie-free for the first time in my life! I was constantly picking my underwear outta my crack UNTIL I found these underpants!!! I'm literally getting rid of all of my other underwear because they suck compared to these. They're cute, comfy, and sexy enough — yet provide enough coverage to be all that you'll ever need. Two of my girlfriends have also made the switch and couldn't be happier." —Amazon Customer

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL, various patterns/colors and packs).

Promising review: "Comfy is the keyword here. I'm very picky when it comes to underwear since I'm quite bottom-heavy, but these are perfect! The lace trim is soft and stretchy, which allows a perfect fit around my waist. Based off the size chart provided, I went with the medium (6–8), as I've been a size seven in many different brands of underwear in the past. Because of the stretch in the lace, I would maybe consider one size smaller since they may stretch over time." —Kim

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL, a 12-pack, and in eight color sets). There is also this seamless set that goes up to a size 5X.

Promising review: "These leggings are a hit! They are not cheap-looking at all! I originally bought them for a cosplay, but ended up wearing them for fashion purposes and they are a hit! Super comfy and stretchy around the waist." —Rebecca J

Get them from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and four colors). You can also check out these leggings that go up to a size 4X. Or these that have a functioning pocket!

Promising review: "I cannot believe I got this quality of a belt for this price. It came in such a nice box with a hole punch; which I did not need to use but still a nice touch! I have had the belt for months now and I still love it. The leather is durable but I like how it's smooth and does not catch on the belt loops. The adjustment holes in the belt show no sign of wear and the buckle is just the right size so it does not dig into my tummy. It's just a great quality jeans belt." —K-Martin

Get it from Amazon for $16.59+ (available in sizes S–XL and in seven colors).

Promising review: "Really cute dress! The one I received is not lined but the material is soft and not very see-through. I wore nude-colored undies and you couldn’t see a thing. If you are looking for a slightly looser fit then size up. The ruching on one side does wonders for shaping my waist and the pink color is gorgeous! The price is just right and much cheaper than other versions I’ve seen online. There are other versions from different sellers on Amazon at $20–$22 but the quality on this one is excellent and I’m glad I ordered it." —MizLis

Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 27 colors).

Promising review: "Definitely worth the money! True-to-size with no break-in period since they're not real leather but feels just as smooth. No toe cleavage and no weird noises when you're walking. I wear between a 7 and 7.5 and bought the 7.5 in these to be on the safe side." —Matt

Get them from Amazon for $19.92+ (available in standard and wide sizes 5–15 and in 26 colors).

Promising review: "I really like this coat. It is 'oversized' enough to layer but does not feel too big or boxy. The bottom falls right at my knees. The lining feels luxurious and the outer layer is not overly thick, but sturdy and well made. Great value if you are looking for a versatile option for a winter coat this season. I feel like I can pull this off with a sweater, jeans, and boots or with a neutral dress and heels." —Bricky

Get it from Amazon for $65.99 (available in sizes XS–2XL and nine colors).

Promising review: "Getting one in every color! Love the lace trim. Fits great. Super cute to layer with a sweater, cardigan, or jean jacket. Love the versatility of it!" —Colie Marie

Get it from Amazon for $21.23+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 21 colors).

Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by these pants! I’m a teacher so I need clothes that are stylish yet comfortable and can move with me throughout the day. As soon as these gems arrived in the mail, I tried them on. The first thing I noticed is that the material is higher quality than I expected. They don’t feel cheap or flimsy. The waist is comfortable and I like the button and hook fastening that leaves the front without lumps. I’m buying these again in another color." —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $27.90+ (available in sizes 0–20 and in nine colors).

Promising review: "This dress is the absolute cutest dress of all time. I got so many compliments on it. I am going to order it in other colors." —Lindsay

We love this coat so much we've even done a full review of the Orolay Women's Thickened Down Jacket.

Promising review: "This puffer jacket is a real problem solver during colder months where suitcase real estate just won’t accommodate a warm jacket. It’s also very light. The entire garment stuffs into an impossibly small ripstop nylon bag which is included. You’ll find it tied to the interior. With a little practice, you can leave the bag tied to the garment and repack quickly. I was very comfortable in moderately cold weather meaning 40–50-ish degrees, threatening rain. For the price, you'll be able to sport your favorite colors in style." —String Theory

Get it from Amazon for $27.93+ (available in men's sizes XS–XXL and in 21 colors).

Promising review: "I love this material. It’s so soft and comfortable! It feels like it’s barely there and it doesn’t feel heavy or like it’s pulling or putting grooves in my shoulders like I’m used to. I also don’t really ever have to readjust it. (I’m always readjusting my bra usually because I can't stand it.) Highly recommend! I may have to get more, LOL." —Jillian

Get it from Amazon for $35 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 17 colors).

Promising review: "I am a 40D, so I ordered the XXL. When I took the bra out of the package, it looked tiny so I didn’t think it would fit. But it actually fit perfectly! The fabric is extremely stretchy, so it can stretch as much as needed. The bra does not dig into my sides, as so many other bras do. It really is the most comfortable bra I’ve ever worn! I wouldn’t recommend this bra for high-impact workouts. I’ve been using it for low-moderate impact workouts though and it’s been great!" —bighpfan

Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in sizes S–3XL various colors, styles, and multipacks).

Get it from our Goodful shop for $295.

Promising review: "I'm 5'8" and usually a size 14–16 (1X) top and this 2X shirt was just loose enough to be casual without being baggy. I purchased both black and white as basic staples for my wardrobe. These are great for pairing with shorter jackets, jeans, or skirts and also for layering. The white tee is not sheer if worn with a skin-colored bra, and even paired with a black bra, the outline is just barely visible. These tees are cut straight up and down and fit basically like a men's undershirt, so if you are looking for something that is more of a boxy fit, this is ideal, but not if you want a shirt that's tapered at the waist." —MahNaz

Get it from Amazon for $8.40+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in seven colors).

Promising review: "I have bought several of these pants because they are the most comfortable things I've ever owned. I'm not a fashionista, but I'm aware that wearing sweatpants out of the house is not universally accepted, despite the majority of us doing it. However, I feel confident wearing these with a T-shirt or tank top while going out and about and looking put together. I also got these because I have a tough time finding pants that don't push on my bladder too heavily like the jeans or slacks that I wear to work. I have interstitial cystitis and these pants are soft and fit well enough that I need not worry about any issues arising in that department. I'm not the biggest fan of all of the designs, but I'm sure there's a design out there for everyone. Or you can get the plain ones. Whichever works for you." —Featherpin

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and in 94 colors).

Rebdolls is a Latine woman-owned small business.

Reviewers recommend not sizing up because it runs big, just buy your normal size for a loose fit.

Promising review: "Loved the shorts to go with the matching top. Shorts are a good length on my thighs. Good fabric, not to heavy and not too light. It has a nice flow to it. It ran really big so I had to send it back for a smaller size." —Doretta R.

Get it from Rebdolls for $39.90 (available in sizes 2–32 and two colors). And get the matching blouse for $44.90.

Promising review: "Love this jacket! I am usually a size 10–12, 5'7, and it’s very hard for me to find jackets that fit well because I have a wide back and wear a DD bra. I went through a bunch of the reviews and decided to get a large. Honestly, I could have gotten a medium. But the large is good! You can def wear a sweater underneath it. Go down a size when ordering!" —Betsy

Get it from Amazon for $39.70+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in five styles).

Promising review: "'One size fits all' items NEVER fit me. However, this tiny catsuit fit my big body with ease. Haha! At first, when I opened the package I laughed and said this must be for a child but surprise, surprise, it fit. Slid into it like it was specifically designed for me. I am a size 14/16 with 40DDD breasts and it fit without pinching or squeezing any part of me. Great material, very light, and extremely opaque. I bought this to wear under a sheer shawl and I am very happy with this purchase." —Patrice Morris

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in one size that fits most US sizes 0–14/XS–L and in three colors).

Hey Mimi Sisters is a woman-owned small biz that makes gorgeous clothing — many of them made to order!

Promising reviews: "I bought the suit in khaki and added a pair of custom shorts so I could wear during the summer and I kid you not this is the coolest thing I have ever bought! It fits perfectly, despite the fact that I did not give very accurate measurements, and Stefaniya was great to work with. She answered promptly, was incredibly helpful and willing to make exactly what I wanted! I will definitely be buying in multiple colors." —hgkoennecke

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in men's sizes S–XXL and in seven colors).

BTW: Reviewers suggest sizing down because it runs a little big.

Get it from Target for $34 (originally $40; available is sizes 00–28).

Reviewers point out that if you're on the bustier side make sure to size up and they also note that this isn't a wrinkle-resistant shirt, so make sure to steam or iron it before wear.

Promising review: "This shirt definitely fits as expected. I took a risk since so many people said they run small, but it fits perfectly — don't listen to the reviews saying otherwise! I even have a large chest, which can be an issue, but there's no pulling in the chest area. Quality material and very comfortable." —Alanna Edwards

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 20 colors).

Promising review: "I wanted to be on trend with a belt bag, but also love the security and ease of wearing it with the bag in front. So easy to open and navigate compared to a purse.
