Prettygarden Faux Shearling Oversized Jacket 

If you haven’t yet jumped on the teddy coat bandwagon, now is your chance.

Zesica Long Sleeve Crew Neck Sweater 

If you’re going for an oversized, cozy look, this sweater is one of our favorites. While a majority of shoppers say it is true-to-size, if you’re looking for a slouchier feel, people say it’s best to size up.

Amazon Essentials Water-Resistant Trench Coat 

For days that don’t require a heavy winter coat, we love this simple trench jacket by Amazon Essentials. Available in five colors, this is a classic style you can wear for years. Because it has a more tailored look, it also pairs well with work attire. “This coat is ideal in length and weight for crisp fall weather,” one shopper said. “The color (black) goes well with any outfit and the suede-like-look finish and tailored style gives it a smart and classy look.” 

To buy: $28 (was $51); amazon.com. 

Anrabess Crewneck Pullover Sweater

Similar to a popular tunic from Free People, this sweater is the ultimate oversized option that you’re going to wear constantly. While the ribbed knit material gives the sweater a more casual look that goes great with leggings, you can dress it up with leather pants, a maxi skirt, and more. 

To buy: $34 (was $64); amazon.com.

Wrangler Authentics Stretch Denim Jacket

There’s nothing better than having a statement piece in your closet that goes with just about everything, which is why we love this denim jacket.

To buy: $40; amazon.com. 

Zesica Oversized Knitted Sweater 

If you’re searching for chunky sweaters, this option is a must-buy, especially since it has more than 13,100 five-star ratings. Shoppers confirm the sweater’s material isn’t itchy, will keep its shape, and is very flattering despite the oversized look.

Yeokou Fleece Sweatshirt

When your sweatshirt collection needs an update, consider adding this comfortable jacket into the mix. Not only does the fleece lining provide an extra layer of warmth, but you can also reverse the jacket if you prefer the teddy-coat style. 

To buy: $32 (was $40); amazon.com. 

Merokeety Oversized Pullover Sweater 

If you love sporting bright colors all year long, this Amazon sweater is one that comes in the most color options with 24 hues to choose from.

Dokotoo Open Front Cardigan

For days when you feel like you can’t get warm, go with this option that’s basically a blanket in jacket form. This large fleece jacket has a hood and side pockets, but because it is open-front style, it wears more like a cardigan. 

To buy: $40 (was $54); amazon.com.

Amazon Essentials Fisherman Cable Sweater

For an everyday winter essential, consider this classic cable knit sweater that’s available in sizes ranging up to 6X. Not only is it super soft thanks to its 100 percent cotton material, but more than 3,800 Amazon shoppers have also given it a five-star rating because it can be worn with almost anything in colder weather.

Andy & Natalie Bomber Jacket

If you’re looking for a shorter jacket style, we love the look of bomber jackets, especially ones with this quilted pattern. This shopper-favorite comes in plenty of color options too—say hello to your new favorite jacket in a bold red or a classic black. With elastic cuffs and a zippered closure, this jacket is on the more fitted side but can still be layered over a light sweater or blouse. 

To buy: $45 (was $55); amazon.com. 

Amazon Essentials Quarter-Zip Pullover Jacket
