It’s getting dark earlier. So we wanted to help you find comfy and cozy things to wear to combat a serious case of SAD (seasonal effectiveness disorder.)
(If we missed the mark for whatever reason, returns are a breeze, but we scoured reviews to validate these.) Pro tip. If you can stand to wait til Black Friday deals, sit these in your cart and monitor for any markdown movement. You’ll get that serotonin boost on something you already want eventually and avoid the fake deal deluge. We have important shopping changes of note as well. Let’s get down to it.

Before we get Delulu-lemon about 2026’s fitness goals, which are enough to put me to sleep, these are workout sets too cute to sweat in. The tapered ankle and the fun Neopolitan ice cream color combos make these so easy to put forth as worthy. Shoppers think these are stylish enough to wear out.

I’m genuinely transfixed by the Ralph Lauren bear that’s been enjoying such a renaissance at Ralph’s coffee and on hats and sweaters. No reason to stop there and have a regular. Just let a run of the mill bear grace one’s feet with these lined house shoes . It’s the season. We combed through the reviews, and evidently, the quality is on point. And there are bears on them.

The cream, forest green and crimson details on this set are enough to justify plunking down nearly $50 on to me. It’s collegiate, Christmas-y and genuinely chic. It really does look high fashion. One might wear this to alienate your husband’s mistress at a ski resort la House of Gucci . Either way, reviewers agree the set looks high-end, and most important of all, it’s comfortable.

You need real uggs like you need a $800 melon. Give those Ugg slippers the slip and reach for these popular toffee-colored slippers hug your feet, don’t slip off. I’m in love with the red detail.

This is a darling shawl to cancel any future plans in. Reviewers said it feels like cashmere and feels luxe. There’s a scene in A Rainy Day in New York when Ellie Fanning’s character bids Timothée Chalamet’s character adieu. I’m uncertain what the point of their relationship was, but I do remember she’s wearing a shawl with the utmost insouciance, almost puzzled at his existence. The shawl was her best companion of the movie and she looked great. I think you will too.

Invest in two matching socks that can keep you warm. Reviewers give props to the socks for their warmth and how well they hold up in the laundry.

Just one more bonus pick. I wanted to look into this hoodie because I adore the waffle texture that takes the loungewear up a notch. Reviewers praise how soft this is, and under $20 is exactly the right amount to plunk down on a sweatshirt. The tumeric orange, chocolate brown and deep crimson are so non-boring we’d get more than one color.
