We'll soon be in autumn's clutches, marking the arrival of new Starbucks flavors, plenty of spooky decor and Amazon fall fashion finds galore. With seemingly no end to the number of pieces to be found on the site, you're bound to come across a few (hundred) seasonal trends (most of which will arrive in two days or less, thanks to Prime shipping), so it pays to have a game plan for shopping its pages. Which is exactly why we got the tea on all things fall fashion straight from celebrity red carpet fashion expert Melissa Rivers (aka the daughter of the iconic Joan Rivers).
Our list of the 35 best Amazon fall fashion finds includes Melissa's recommendations for trendy items, like capes ($28) and big bags ($155), in addition to those with some of the highest star ratings available. We also took into account each piece's comfort, quality, sizing and styling versatility when making our selections.
The Best Amazon Fall Fashion Finds at a Glance
Meet the Expert
Melissa Rivers is a celebrity red carpet fashion expert. In addition to her role as an executive producer and co-host on E's iconic Fashion Police series from 2003 to 2017, she has interviewed countless celebrities on award show carpets and conducts celebrity Q and A's on her weekly podcast, Melissa Rivers Group Text. Additionally, she is the author of The New York Times best-selling book Lies My Mother Told Me: Tall Tales from a Short Woman about her late mother, Joan Rivers, and her love for comedic embellishment.
What Clothing Will Be Popular for Fall 2023?
According to Rivers, this cozy season will be all about the continuation of the quiet luxury aesthetic made popular by the likes of Succession and Sofia Richie, but with a touch of embellishment in the form of some seriously *extra* accessories. Below, the rest of her fall 2023 trend predictions—and her tips on what to look for to rock them.
15 Comfortable Sweaters from Mango We’re Coveting This Fall (Starting at $46)
1. Viottiset Mock Neck Sweater Vest
Shiv, is that you? This waffle-knit number practically screams "quiet luxury," plus, we like that it allows you to layer à la your favorite preppies. Though its acrylic fabric is prone to trap heat, reviewers say it's still lightweight, making it a good transitional piece. It's reportedly quite soft and has an oversized, drapey fit, so if you want a more fitted look, just size down.
2. Somthron Trench Cape
This ain't your grandma's cape. With its slit sleeves and angular shoulders, we chose this one because it offers those extra embellishments that Rivers spoke of to make it a bit more modern. Shoppers say it's every bit as elegant as it looks in the pics and also praised its breathable material. You'll likely want to grab another jacket to wear over it on chillier days, however—per reviewers, this piece is quite thin and not lined, despite its description. The company also recommends sizing up, as it does run small.
3. Vera Bradley Oversized Shoulder Bag
Rivers predicts that oversized bags will soon make a comeback, and based on the recent popularity of the viral Cos oversized crossbody ($99), we'd have to agree. While this Vera Bradley option is not quite as big as the Cos (the crossbody is 15.59 inches wide by 15.82 inches tall while the Vera Bradley is 11 inches wide by 14 inches tall), you can still fit a ton inside, including your 13-inch laptop. We also like that its twill fabric is water-repellent, giving it an edge over the Cos for your daily commute.
4. Viottiset Oversized Sweater Vest
Between its layer-ready fit and its preppy houndstooth print, this high-style sweater vest is reportedly large enough to wear over your button-up shirts, dresses and tees while covering up your backside. Better yet, it's not itchy, according to its legions of Amazon fans, but rather has a softness to it that will be nice and cozy. The downside? It's hand-wash only—something we're not huge fans of when it comes to getting the most bang for our fashion buck.
5. Efan Lightweight Turtleneck
Ah, the power of a good turtleneck. This Rose Red style from Amazon will not only add a bold pop of color to your ensemble (though you can choose from more than ten other shades), it offers an easy elegance that's right on trend for fall 2023. Shoppers say it also serves to keep you plenty warm in chillier weather. It may be worth sizing down, however, as it does tend to run large.
6. Sorel Leather Hi-Line Mules
Sorel is a brand we know and trust when it comes to quality, making these mules attractive right from the get-go. We also love that these are made of a waterproof full-grain leather with a rubber outsole, meaning your feet will stay nice and dry, even in a bout of November rain. Keep in mind that since mules are open at the back, they may not provide the same level of support as your go-to boots or flats, so it's important to go for a snugger fit.
7. Levi's 311 Jeans
Whether you're of the Gen Z mindset that skinny jeans are *so* over or you're a diehard fan who rejoiced at seeing them on the fall/winter 2023 runways, it's hard to find fault in this classic Levi's style. They feature a universally flattering dark wash and a stretchy fit that tons of Amazon reviewers called super comfortable. With regular, short and long inseams available, you won't have to guess to find the perfect pair, either.
8. Anrabess Sweater Dress
While any sweater dress will be convenient—simply throw it on with a pair of knee-high boots and you'll be good to go—we like that this one has a good amount of stretch that will make it easy to pull on over your head and be comfortable for all-day wear. Amazon shoppers say it's on the warmer side, too, so you'll be able to sport it well past the season. Be sure to follow the care instructions, as it reviewers say it can shrink.
9. Levi's Sherpa Jacket
This sherpa jacket from Levi's will be your BFF this fall. The pink plaid print affords just the splash of color Rivers suggests seeking out for this season, but we're even more impressed by its well thought-out details. The ultra-warm sherpa fabric gives way to rib-knit cuffs and a standing collar, both of which are designed to keep the wind from blowing through at the sleeves and neck. There's a hidden adjustable drawcord at waist for a better fit, too.
10. Anrabess Wide-Leg Sweater Set
Our cozy era starts with this two-piece set, which has been described by happy buyers as like "mac and cheese for the body." (Read? It's comfy as hell.) It includes a matching knit sweater and a pair of wide-leg, drawstring pants, both of which have a slouchier fit and can be mixed and matched with other items in your wardrobe. "Thick and warm" are two more terms we'd associate with this set, which is available in more than 15 pretty neutrals.
11. Grapent Wide-Leg Pants
Rivers says draped pants are in, and this pair is perfect for achieving that relaxed look. Even more exciting, you won't have to bust out the iron or even the steamer, since shoppers claim the 100 percent polyester fabric lives up to the company's wrinkle-free claims. The elastic back waist also adds an extra element of comfort. (We'll be reaching for these around that time of the month, thank you very much.) Depending on your height, these may be too long without a good heel, but it's nothing a little hemming can't fix.
12. Staud Wool Aldrin Dress
Can you say preppy perfection? With poplin peek-a-boo edges and a classic cable sweater pattern, this Staud dress gives off a layered effect you won't have to work for. More than that, however, it's made with a 100 percent pure wool material, which will keep you both ultra-warm and dry, since its a natural insulator that repels water, making it worthy of its high price tag.
13. Soda Pilot Boots
Chelsea boots are here to stay. If you don't yet have a pair, this Soda Pilot pair will be a good way to test the waters. They're affordable, for starters. While the synthetic material isn't advertised as being waterproof, more than one reviewer called out their ability to keep their feet dry, even in heavier snow and rain. The have elastic gores at the sides to help you get them on and off and are reportedly lightweight, despite their thick material and block heel.
14. Ladiyo Classic Coat
A fall-drobe triple threat, this chic find offers style, quality and warmth, making it our top choice for an Amazon fall coat. The tie closure will help with the fit, and a high percentage of shoppers say the length hits at just the right spot, even if you're on the shorter side. The cotton and polyester fabric is heavier, too, so you can actually use it to bundle up—it's not just for looks.
15. Melie Bianco Carrie Bag
Melie Bianco may be best known for its animal-friendly Bottega Veneta lookalike bag ($150) but the brand also boasts some incredibly unique styles. Case in point? This accordion-esque Carrie purse, which features a one-of-a-kind expandable design that's big enough for a mini iPad ($469), a water bottle, your wallet, sunglasses and more. We can also confirm that the brand's vegan leather is every bit as buttery-smooth and supple as the real deal—so much so that we truly can't tell the difference. The strap is padded for all day wear and there's even a matching zip pouch inside for added storage. Though the color selection is limited on Amazon, you can find a few more on the brand's site.
16. Automet Half-Zip Sweatshirt
If your idea of a fall jacket is more like an oversized sweatshirt, this Amazon pick will be just what the doctor ordered. It's made from a thick polyester and cotton blend that reviewers say is both warm and comfortable—two must-haves when it comes to a good half-zip. Plus, the long sleeves have thumbholes for extra warmth. While it's not quite lululemon quality, the design looks quite similar to the brand's Scuba funnel-neck half-zip ($118) for a fraction of the price.
17. Floerns Corduroy Dress
Part dress, part overall, this sweet design has two front pockets to tuck your fingers into when it gets a little nippy and comes in more than 15 seasonal hues. We also like the longer length, which makes it a bit more modest. Since it's layer-friendly, you can easily take it from summer with a short-sleeve tee to fall with a longer-sleeve mock neck. It does fit on the slimmer side, however, so be sure to size up.
18. Reoria Turtleneck Bodysuit
Bodysuits provide a smooth and seamless look that make them the unsung heroes of fall layering. This one from Amazon has nearly 4,000 fans for the comfort and stretch its cotton and spandex blend provides. It offers high quality for the $20 price tag and shoppers say it doesn't ride up when you're moving around in it—a common annoyance with other bodysuit brands.
19. Dr. Martens Leather Shriver Boots
Dr. Martens go with fall like apple cider goes with donuts. This classic combat style will be a closet favorite all year round (for years to come, considering the brand's renowned durability) but they work particularly well in the colder months thanks to the sturdy leather exterior, strong stitching and water-resistant rubber soles. Plus, you’ll look badass in them whether you’re wearing a floral dress or flannel shirt and leggings.
20. Prettygarden Plaid Shacket
The shacket took over our closets in 2021 and we've never looked back. The perfect throw-on-and-go piece, they're cozy, keep you warm on cooler days and look super cute. We like this one for its softness, longer length and side pockets, which offer easy access to your phone. Those with petite frames will likely need to take it to the tailor, however, since it's mid-thigh length can fall well below the thigh on shorter gals.
21. Cable-Stitch Mock Sweater
The boxy look of this mock-neck sweater is cool and androgynous and has a slightly oversized fit that we're dying to cuddle up in. Its acrylic, nylon, wool and spandex blend gets even cozier after a few trips to the cleaner's, according to Amazon customers, and it comes in several neutral tones you'll want to stock up on.
22. Evaless Distressed Denim Jacket
Another classic piece with a slightly embellished twist is this black denim jacket from Evaless. While it's got all of the traditional elements you'd expect from a good jean jacket (cotton construction, sturdy silver buttons), it's also got gentle distressing and a frayed tasseled hem throughout for a bit of added edge. Remember to size down if you're looking for that cool girl boyfriend fit.
23. Ohayomi Soft Shawl
Since Rivers predicted that bigger will be better when it comes to accessories this fall, we sought out this extra-large shawl for travel days and all-around warmth. Versatile by nature, it can be worn multiple ways (draped over your shoulders, wrapped around your neck, ect.) and more than 1,000 Amazon shoppers have vouched for its quality by giving it a perfect 5-star review. "Feels and looks way more expensive than it is," wrote one, with another adding, "It was very soft and was of ample size to wrap comfortably. I would buy this in other colors." Good thing there are nearly 15 to choose from!
24. Hue Faux Leather Leggings
Coming in four fall-approved colors, these are stretchy and relatively warm, thanks to their polyester leatherette material, which gives the look and feel of the real thing without any of the guilt. More than one shopper also lauded them for their comfort, which they say is on par with the brand's famous tights.
25. Keasmto Midi Skirt
Remember the cool midi skirts you ordered from dEliA*s back in the '90s? Yeah, they're back with a vengeance. This leopard-print version allows you to go grungy with combat boots or get a little more Western with some cowboy kicks. It's also got a stretchy waist that means you won't have to suck in if you have a few too many carbs. It's machine washable, saving you a trip to the dry cleaner's, and the best part? It has pockets.
26. Merokeety Waffle Cardigan
Cardigans are a dime a dozen, but we like this waffle-knit option in particular for its bat sleeves and pockets, which lend themselves to those extra details Rivers noted to look for in your elevated fall fashion. There's a wide array of colors to choose from, ranging from timeless neutrals to jewel tones, and its little touch of spandex allows for some comfy stretch. For a flattering oversized fit, size up.
27. Andre Assous Leather Naia Booties
We've tried on a lot of boots in our day, and Andre Assous makes some of the most comfortable to ever touch our feet. (More specifically, the brand's Winter booties, $149, are like walking on a cloud.) And we've got a sneaking suspicion that this pair, which features a square toe box as opposed to the Winter's pointed one and a more stable block heel, will be even more comfy. We love the less than $100 price tag, and the 3-inch lift will be not too low and not too high.
28. The Drop Josephine Sweater
We like Amazon's The Drop brand for affordable, quality basics, and this Josephine sweater is a perfect example of why. With nearly 400 perfect 5-star reviews, it's luxe enough looking to be mistaken for cashmere and on the softer side. (It's said to be a tad bit itchy, but for the price, we can't complain.) We also like that the brand offers a nice, wide size range—this piece goes up to 5X—though shorter shoppers do say it tends to be a smidge long.
29. Idealsanxun Plaid Skirt
Can't resist a preppy plaid? Neither can we! More than looking cute, this printed skirt is constructed with a warm polyester and wool blend that will keep your upper legs warm when the wind is howling. Amazon buyers noted that it can be a bit snug, since there's little to no stretch, so you may want to size up for a more comfortable fit, but once you find it, this should be plenty cozy.
30. Hobo Leather Merrin Bag
Hobo makes some of the most well-organized, smartly designed bags around, and this little number is a prime example of the brand's genius. Just a pull on the strap will convert it from a traditional shoulder bag to a two-strap backpack. Regardless of how you choose to carry it, you'll be privy to plenty of storage—it's got two exterior pockets, plus three more on the inside to keep your things in order. It's also crafted from a genuine, durable leather that shoppers can only describe as "buttery."
31. Niubia Knit Blazer
If you're tired of playing it safe with neutrals, why not take Rivers' advice and go for a bright, attention-commanding red? This fiery blazer is unstructured, which makes it easy to push up the sleeves, and has a bit of stretch for comfort. We also like the more casual fit, which allows you to wear it to work, yes, but also pair with jeans for a less formal lunch date.
31. Tronjori Wide-Leg Trousers
For cool workwear that’s actually comfortable, trousers are a must. These billowy pants have a high waist that experts say can lengthen legs and create the illusion of hips for those with straighter frames. The heavy polyester fabric of these ones keep them structured enough for the office, but the wide legs mean they're still a breeze (quite literally) to style. “You can’t ever go wrong with a button-down and drapier pants,” Rivers says.
33. Ebifin Sweater Coat
This sweater coat has those trendy country club vibes in spades. With a thicker weight, it's a good piece to reach for on days it's a little chilly but too warm for an actual jacket. Because it hits above the knee, it will also go perfectly with all your favorite skinny jeans and riding boots. However, if you're petite, you should keep in mind that the sleeves might need to be hemmed, since they tend to run a bit long.
34. Etcyy Quilted Jacket
Take it from our fashion editor: Barn coats are the next big thing in jackets. This quilted version is already racking up rave reviews on Amazon for its comfy, oversized fit and well-made construction. The side pockets are nice and roomy (all the better to keep your hands toasty on a chilly day), and while it won't quite replace your winter jacket, it can hold its own on a fall day in New England.
35. Acevog Satin Blouse
Trade in your stiff work shirt for this luxurious silky number that's right on trend with Rivers' fashion forecast of comfortable elegance. With the option to wear it open or tie it at the front or back, it provides plenty of wear, particularly if you've got a longer torso. (It may be too long for shorties.) While we'd opt for the classic black, you can also go for the gusto in a bolder shade of royal blue or rose red.
