I didn’t dry it - I hung to dry just so it didn’t shrink in length. But it’s held up through multiple washings just fine. Love the color and the weight!" — Amazon Customer "This sweatshirt is so soft, not too heavy but not thin by any means. It’s just perfect. Looks super cute with leggings or high-waisted jeans. I just love it! Already purchased another color." —Gabrielle Dewey Price: $24.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 18 colors/prints) Promising review: "So I bought two black turtle neck bodysuits, one designer and this Amazon one. Honestly this bodysuit holds up wear after wear, is in perfect condition, washable, and great breathable material. Excellent quality compared to the designer one which was $148. I ended up returning the designer. Size up though!" —Aliya Mathiesen Price: $14.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 37 colors) XPromising reviews: "One of my favorite going out tops. It's pretty thick, so it snatches everything in as long as you size down. It's lasted several months and several washes with no pilling or snags." —Nadezhda Popova "Excellent quality. True to size. Wide straps do not slip off the shoulders, so they can be worn with a strapless or normal strapped bra underneath. Very comfortable and versatile. It can be dressed up or dressed down. The material is neither too thick nor too thin; you can not see-through it! My daughter loves it! Highly recommend!" —Ashlei Grier Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 26 colors) Promising reviews: "I started having to do work in a kitchen cooking, these pants are perfect. Comfortable, cool and the pants are jogger style so no dragging on the greasy kitchen floor. I have 3 pairs now! Holding up well with many washings. Plan on getting more." —Nicole Cuoco "Last month I bought a pair in olive, just to try them out. Love! Immediately bought two more, the heather charcoal (more love!) and the black with the orange print zipper. I like the black but the fabric is not the same, not that yummy soft buttery feel. But the fit is great like the others and I like the zipper on the pockets. Then I found this dark camo with the zipper, with the same soft fabric. Had to have it. And it’s now my favorite. Bonus: These pants are perfect for traveling, they fold up to half the size of regular pants and never wrinkle. The only problem is you have to stop yourself from buying too many." —nancykou Price: $12.79+ (available in sizes S–3XL and dozens of colors) Promising reviews: "Another awesome staple in my closet this fall! Almost identical to J Crew's Coatigan but a fraction of the price! The open, fold detail is eye catching. The material is thick and holds up well on a gentle wash cycle. No pills and it hasn’t snagged. Great with a pair of jeans and flats! Awesome with a sleeveless shirt and heels and always a solid belt to break up the outfit. It is really warm, I wore it comfortably on a 48 degree day and was comfortable all day! Another awesome Amazon purchase!" —Mom On A Mission PA "I don’t have enough amazing things to say about this sweater jacket. I have washed it many times and it still fits the same. The quality is amazing. Will be buying in other colors ! I also get so many compliments on it!" —Cara L Price: $49.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 27 colors) Promising reviews: "I love the length of this, sizing is good. Feels like good quality and after several washes is holding up and fitting normally still. Overall looks great!" —Feral Esther "I bought this after seeing a TikTok review and it’s even better than expected! I removed the padding because I never like them in sport bras and it’s absolutely adorable! It holds up during my workout routine! I definitely recommend! I ordered a size Large which is my normal size in sports bras and it fit great!" —Shannon Price: $19.98+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 11 colors) Promising reviews: "This sweater is so soft and comfy. It runs true to size if not a little bigger but fits nicely. I have washed it several times and it holds up very nicely. It's thick but not heavy. I will most likely end up ordering another color." —Brenda "I am in love with this fluffy oversized soft sweater! It's like wearing a cozy hug all day long. The material is incredibly soft, and the oversize fit adds an extra level of comfort. It's perfect for chilly days, keeping me warm without sacrificing style. If you want to feel both comfy and chic, this sweater is a must-have for your wardrobe!" —Ashley Rowell Price: $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 33 colors) Promising reviews: "Anything by Tronjori has proven great. All of their pants have nice stretch and are super comfortable. They also hold up well when washed — but I wouldn’t recommend drying as a safety." —Addison Wilson "OMG THESE ARE PERFECT! This color isn’t see-through at all. Obsessed, just ordered another pair in black. The length…I don’t even need to hem these! A fashion dream come true!" —Rachel Price: $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, regular, short, and long lengths, and 29 colors/patterns) Promising reviews: "These look pretty good and have stayed together through 9 performances with plenty of movement, being washed between. The pleather coating has not delaminated or broken with the stretch." —Amazon Customer "Fits like a dang glove. Ordered these along with a more expensive pair from Nordstrom for New Year's Eve and ended up keeping these. These were the far superior product for more than half of the price." —Linda K Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–4XL and in three colors) Promising reviews: "I love these shirts and have bought them in quite a few colors and styles. The material is not too thin or thick, and the ribbing gives it stretch to fit many different shapes and sizes. I recently lost 20 lbs, and the shirts still fit nicely and definitely don’t look stretched out or worn at all. They hold up well in the washer and dryer and haven’t lost shape. Seams are still intact and color hasn’t faded. Will definitely be ordering more." —Kindle Customer "The Roselux Women's Long Sleeve Top is a fantastic addition to my wardrobe! The ribbed knit fabric is soft, stretchy, and hugs perfectly for a perfect fit. It’s versatile enough to dress up or down, and the scoop neck adds a nice, classic touch. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stylish and comfortable top!" —Sheina Price: $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 19 colors) Promising reviews: "I have ordered 5 of these in different colors over the last year. I wear them mostly for dance class but also to wear out. They look cute with a chunky boot. They wash well ( I air dry them) and the seams and elastic holds up very well. I am a petite 5’2” and wear a small. The waist and ankles elastic are perfect and the legs nicely baggy. They have not shrunk in the wash on warm." —V McCarthy "I am literally in them all the time. I'm in them now actually. These are the perfect sweats for lounging, airport/travel, errands, and every day. They are my new favorites. I am 5'3", and these sit right at my ankle. Perfection." —Callie Price: $26.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and nine colors) Promising reviews: "I bought this shirt about 6 months ago and have worn it many times. It fits perfectly and is super cute! I love layering it with a sweater during the winter months and wearing it alone during the summer. The material is light and breathes easy. I have washed it many times and the material has held up without any holes or visible wear - NOTE: I do not put it in the dryer, as I don't with any of my shirts, so I cannot comment on what would happen if you put yours in the dryer." —Melanie "I have this shirt in black and white and it's the perfect crop top for anything high waisted or maxi skirts. The material is super stretchy and comfy. The white is not as see-through as I thought it might be and is perfect to wear with a simple bra or cami. Would buy in every color!" —skye Price: $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 11 colors) Promising reviews: "I love this sweater! It’s soft and comfortable, and it’s also very warm. It has the oversize style to it, and the sleeves are wide which adds to the cute style. I got the green color, which is like a mint green, and I love it! I definitely recommend this sweater! I read a lot of reviews that recommended sizing up to have the true oversize look, so I sized up to a Medium. It has the really cute oversize style, and it holds up so well after washing and drying, and it still has the oversize look! Can’t rave enough about this sweater! Buy it!!" —Ashley Starrett "I wanted something cozy and soft that I can wear to the office while doubling as a cute sweater for a wine night with the girls. This sweater is absolutely perfect for that!! I’ve gotten more compliments than any other sweater that I’ve worn and has been worth every penny. I got mine a size up when i could have bought my normal size and it still would have had the oversize look. The sleeves are baggy so if you aren’t a fan of baggy sleeves, then this might not be the sweater for you. Overall, I’d give this a 10/10 based on how durable it is (does not break down in the washer) and soft it is. If you are debating, just go ahead and buy it because you will LOVE it!" —Sydney Rehagen Price: $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 13 colors) BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord loves hers: "I recently bought these shorts because I'm in love with the similar ones you can get at Old Navy, but they sell out so fast. Turns out, I love these even more! I love the huge range of colors you can buy these in (at other places, they often sell out too quickly to get to pick!), love that the high-waistedness of them meets about where my running crop top ends, so I don't have to get bonkers with sunscreen, and love love loooooove the side pocket for my keys or face mask. I only have them in purple so far, but I'm excited to try other colors!" Promising review: "Ordered several pairs of these over the last year of so. My daughter wears these every days. She loves them. They are cute. Hold up very well after continuous washing and drying in the dryer. They are not to short she have very long legs. We have them in all the colors and they are all nice." —blues Price: $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 22 colors) Promising reviews: "Soft, nice fabric blend and holds up nicely when washed. I love this top." —Karen Williams "I love this shirt. I have a larger bust, and it is always so difficult to find a top that works. This one is great, I love a good staple black top that goes with everything. It is easy to dress up or dress down." —Nicole Wilkes Price: $12.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 15 colors) Promising reviews:"I wear this while I’m gardening all the time! The material is perfect and dries quickly if it gets wet. I’ve probably worn and washed it over 30 times so far and it’s holding up great (I line dry it though)." —Alexia Melms "Wanted something fun to wear when traveling in the airport and running errands. This is very easy to wear and not hard to get on and off. Easy to wash and wear." —Melissa Price: $22.98+ (available in sizes S–3XL and eight colors/patterns) Promising reviews: "I’ve worn this top at least 10 times since I bought it earlier this year lol. Proud to say it’s still holding up! I feel like it elevates any pant I pair it with and the material is great. It’s soft, opaque, and has structure without suffocating me. It doesn’t have much of a slimming effect since the “bones” are flexible, but it does make a nice silhouette." —AsanteDoll "I purchased this outfit for a night out. I must say I love this top because you can dress it up or dress it down. It is not see through at all. A nice corset like top that keeps you in ! Not made of cheap material at all." —Danielle DeNora Price: $26.99+ (available sizes 00–16 and 13 colors) Promising reviews: "These jeans are the perfect combination of comfort and style. The fit is just right—not too tight, not too loose—and they have just the right amount of stretch to stay comfortable all day. The quality is top-notch, and they hold up great after multiple washes. A true wardrobe staple that goes with everything. Highly recommend!" —WendellJ @pnwdiymama "Absolutely my favorite new jeans. They are so comfortable, so relaxed, and look amazing. They go with my crop tops, shirts, and everything else you can think of. The rip is perfect too." —Tanvi Price: $50.41+ (available in sizes 24–32 and 10 colors) Promising reviews: "This sweater is such good quality for less! Perfect transitional piece for fall/spring. I’ve worn it multiple times along with washing it multiple times, and it still looks brand new!" —Alexis "[I got this sweater] after seeing someone's video on YouTube, and let me tell you, it is an amazing material. Feels soft, and of course, I had to go with the trend. I styled it with wide-leg jeans and loafers and received so many compliments. I also pair it with leggings, and that looks great, too. Definitely recommend this..." —Pro Shopper Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 13 colors) Promising reviews: "I didn't expect this simple, inexpensive sweatshirt dress from Amazon to become one of my favorite go-to outfits (with skinny jeans or leggings, it is ADORABLE). But it did. I love it. It's warm and comfortable and holds up in the wash." —Tracy Anderson Price: $13.34+ (available in sizes XS–2X and in seven colors) Promising reviews: "I have two pairs of these (one in blue and one in black), and I get compliments on these every time I wear them. They have the perfect amount of stretch without losing their shape. I love that they are barrel leg without being TOO over the top. They're great quality. They hold up well to machine wash and dry." —Angel Langston "These jeans are worth the wait! Quality is great but the comfort of these jeans is a 10!! I don’t wear a ton of jeans, I find myself wanting to wear these often, that’s how comfortable they are!" —Shelly A. Price: $42.99 (available in sizes 4–18 and 10 colors) Promising reviews: "Five stars. Super comfy, holds up great in wash". —Amazon Customer "Oh, man, this thing is SO soft and smooshy...I LOVE it. I'm really happy with this cozy little jacket. It still manages to be big and slouchy, and it's just SO SOFT. I can't decide whether to just wear it around the house or out — it's definitely a casual look, but it would work either way." —Wrenn M. Price: $26.24+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in eight colors) Promising reviews: "Cute top. Fabric is thick (almost sweater thickness). Length is enough to tuck into pants a little, but definitely not long. My one complaint is that the knot in the front makes a gap where the fabric twists. I got this in black so I just make sure to wear a black strapless bra with it to minimize how noticeable the holes are. I've washed it a couple of times and seems to hold up well. Came out of the wash looking just like it went in!" —akbopper "True to size and perfect length. The color is the pure white I wanted and looks great with denim. The knit is soft and comfortable and still thick and stretchy, so it’s not see-through. Length works great with my low rise jeans or can be tucked in for higher rises." —Cina Price: $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 12 colors) Promising review: "I love these pants!!! So much that I bought 3 colors! Feels like I’m wearing sweatpants to work, yet they look professional! They fit true to size and stretch! I have had no problems with signs of wear and I have washed them numerous times and they hold up great. The ad mentions them being cropped, but they’re full length for me. I’m 5’7 and I ordered a medium and they were ankle length." —Joren Price: $22.70+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 20 colors) Promising review: "I ordered about a dozen dresses in different styles from different brands. This particular seller has the absolute best dress of them all. The fabric is wonderful it holds up well in the wash. Beautiful vivid colours. I am 5' 8 and a 1/2 188 pounds. It actually goes to my ankles!" —Sandra Nelson Price: $34.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 30 colors/patterns) Promising reviews: "Absolutely love this shirt. It covers nicely when wearing leggings. It's comfortably loose with longer sleeves. The fabric is soft and not too heavy or light. I will wear it when teaching as a sub. It will be great on cooler fall days and to the PNW beach in the summer. Holds up great in laundry and I ordered another color." —Forest "I love this top. I wear it all the time. It's super comfy/feels like sweats, but looks nice enough to wear to work. I've washed it a bunch and there's been no pilling or anything either. The drawstrings are unreasonably long but that's my only real complaint. lol! I just tie them up loosely to get them out of the way and it's fine." —J.
