Uncomfortable. The word itself makes me uncomfortable. Who wants to be uncomfortable, like, ever? I know I don’t. Sure, there are events here and there that require more formal attire but my motto, for the most part, is, “If I can’t wear leggings, I’m not going.” Seriously, once I hit 35, I tossed a bunch of heels, threw out the party dresses that were collecting dust and stocked up on comfort. Ah, comfort, I love everything about that word.
Where are my curvy girls at? I know that y’all know that comfort is king and you can do it while still looking cute. The tops, dresses, jackets and, yes, leggings, below excel in both categories and they come at rock-bottom Amazon prices, thanks to ye ol’ Cyber Monday, which is right around the corner. Skip the 2 a.m. wake-up call on Black Friday and dive into these top deal for curves — from leggings to (comfortable) dresses and everything in between.
Mad About Plaid
The second the weather changes, I’m ready to break out the fuzzy pullovers and all plaid everything. This casual cuffed blouse is the perfect piece for fall family photo shoots, trips to the farmers market and casual holiday get-togethers. Unlike typical plaid shirts, the V-neck and rounded hem give it a special feminine flair. Choose from 15 colors in sizes up to XXL.
That’s A Wrap
I know you have at least one holiday party coming up and you already have no idea what to wear. Let me help you out here because that photo above? It’s holiday party ready. Add this peplum wrap top to your favorite skinny jeans or leather leggings (girl, buy you some leather leggings already!) and be prepared to wow your way through the season.
Sweater (Dress) Weather
I am here for all the oversized sweater dresses, O.K.? Throw on a pair of tights and boots and you’re finished. How easy is that? This one has a loose turtleneck. batwing sleeves and a modern ribbed design. This dress comes in 16 different colors that’ll take you from Christmas dinner to spring brunches. (Spring’s coming again, right? I’m already ready.)
Tee Time
Can you ever have too many T-shirts? Because I don’t think you can. This super comfy V-neck pleated T-shirt comes in more colors than you can shake a stick at and will look great solo or under your favorite blazer or cardigan. One reviewer said, “This is my favorite go-to T-shirt. It’s so comfortable and looks good with anything.”
Trail Your Coat
Described as something between a cardigan and a coat, this adorable open-front jacket has been lovingly dubbed a “coatigan.” If you’re like me and hate wearing a coat (even if it is 20 degrees outside), this might be your ideal piece. This comes with Amazon Prime’s “Try Before You Buy” offer, which means you can give it a try in the car and see if you can stand it.
Fleece Navidad
If I could live in just one piece this season, it’s this sherpa pullover, which is giving all the cozy vibes. Long-sleeved with a zippered closure, this fabulous fleece sweatshirt is like wearing a soft, warm blanket while looking stylish and not like you shouldn’t have gotten off the couch (even if you didn’t want to). A smooth knit interior, straight hem and side pockets complete the look.
Earn Your Stripes
Stripes are always in season and this oversized crewneck sweater will keep you looking cool (while feeling warm) until the weather starts to warm. This slouchy sweater has side slits, a tunic-length (if you want) and an easy pullover styling. Dress it up for work with slacks or throw it on with jeans for a casual weekend look. But, definitely try the brown option pictured.
Jean Pool
These sculpting, slim-fit pull-on jeans are exactly what you need for that sweater we just talked about, amirite? From jeans expert Lee, these have size inclusivity on lock with regular, petite and long options in sizes from 16 to 30. They feature a mid-rise and slim fit with fabric that sculpts and holds. (These even have pockets!) Not bad for less than $40.
Not All Heroes Wear Capes
Here’s your alternative to a coat and it is as chic as it gets. This wrap shawl poncho cape (we’ll throw all the names in there for good measure) is an Amazon branded products and is replete with the colors of the season. The best part is, you can throw it off in the car when you’re hot or wrap it around you like a warm blanket when you’re freezing.
Huff And Puff
O.K., O.K., you want an actual coat, I’ll give you an actual coat. This lightweight water-resistant puffer jacket accomplishes what most puffer jackets cannot: Keeping you warm without making you look like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man (shout-out if you know who I’m talking about). This coat comes in more than two dozen colors and won’t break the bank at less than $50.
Don’t Be A Lightweight
If you don’t remember the “Sweater Weather” skit on Saturday Night Live, go watch it right now. Wait! Do it in another tab because you’re going to want to come back to this lightweight hoodie sweater. Soft and skin-friendly, the colorblocking on these keeps them modern and the hoodie keeps them young. One reviewer said, ” I took a chance on the brand and was pleasantly surprised. Easily one of my favorites this fall.”
Top Tier
I have a strict dress policy in the summer, as in I only wear dresses because it’s so dang hot. But, you’re just as likely to find me in a dress in the fall and winter (with tights and booties, thank you) because they’re easy and just so dang comfortable. This tiered mini-dress from The Drop is destined to become one of your new closet faves.
Wear The Pants
Whether you use these as pajama pants, yoga pants or lounging-around-the-house pants, you’re just going to want to buy these flowy, wide-leg pants with pockets in every conceivable color. Literally everyone in the reviews is raving about these, from their soft fabric to the luxe feel to how well they work for “short girls.” (Her word, not mine. I love short people.) You can’t go wrong with black or branch out and try something like dusty rose.
All Good In The Hoodie
I feel like this girl is my spirit animal, not only because she clearly loves leopard print but also because she looks — you know what’s coming — comfortable. Instead of an all-over leopard print, this hooded sweatshirt majors in the minor with leopard drawstrings and kangaroo pocket. Be sure to peep the other options because that black plaid is the unofficial color of the season.
Lace It Up
You don’t have to shun the sexy when the tempeature cools just because you need long sleeves or have to throw a — gasp! — coat on. This lace tunic top keeps you covered with just enough skin showing to be special. ” Shoppers love the length, the detailing on the arms (that’s the big selling point) and the extended sizes that go all the way to 3XL.
Motley Crewneck
Sweatshirts are a seasonal staple but that doesn’t mean they have to be boring. (And, for goodness sake, give your hubby his hoodie back.) These options from Amazon Essentials won’t add bulk to your look and come in a whopping 35 different options in sizes up to 6X. Looking for a comfy option for your joggers? Want an oversized option for your leggings? Check and check.
Az-tec As You Want To Be
As I write this, I’m awaiting this adorable Aztec print shacket to show up in my mailbox. (Tomorrow, USPS? Please?) Available in traditional blue denim and a host of alternate color options, this capitalizes on the hip Aztec trend in a style that’s light enough for all four seasons. Shoppers love the material, its weight and its versatility paired with everything from leggings to casual dresses.
Criss-Cross, Applesauce
In the words of the immortal Ice Cube, “Put your back into it.” Specifically, put your back into this criss-cross V-neck sweater that’s business in the front and party in the back. One reviewer said, “I live in this sweater,” and I feel that comment to my core. Spin the color option dropdown like you’re taking a turn at the big wheel on The Price Is Right.
Don’t Pull My Leg-gings
I promised you leggings so I’m delivering but you didn’t really think I’d choose basic leggings, did you? Silly. These 7/8 workout leggings are high-waisted, squatproof and they have pockets, which is really the trifecta of leggings. If you didn’t know, 7/8 length is designed to hit right above the ankle. Choose from multiple solid options or get creative with camo or animal print.
Waffle Around
I have first-hand experience with these waffle tops with a tie-front hem and all I can say is, “Just do it.” These are the perfect weight and length and look great with just about anything. The dark green and red are giving Christmas but there are plenty of neutrals you can pair with existing pieces from your closet. Sizes here go up to 4X.
Break A Sweat
Sometimes you just want some old-school sweatpants and this high-waisted version with pockets is just about perfect without bearing the name of a Walmart brand. I love the color selection here, which curvy girls don’t usually get, in hues like khaki, army green and pink, and is sizes from XL to 4XL (sorry, skinny girls, you’re out on this one).
It’s A Cardi, Okurrrr
Oh, cardigans, how I love you. You double as a coat but operate like a sweater and when I’m having hot flashes, I can throw you off and rock my T-shirt underneath. This open-front cardigan has a popcorn yarn material, which adds visual interest, and a long length that works well with leggings. There are a ton of colors to choose from here, too.
