I am a contributor and former editor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping since 2020, where I'm focused on everything from home decor to beauty to where to buy the world's most comfortable high heels.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. An organic stretch-cotton tank-neck bodysuit, because it's basically a bra and underwear in one. Aesthetically, the suit is a chic alternative to a tank, but it's also incredibly functional, with its snap-gusset and double-layer fabric.

Quince

Promising reviews: "The comfort is incredible, the fit stellar, the color is perfect. No complaints at all. I never buy duplicates, but I’m heavily considering this one." —Rachael W.

"Tall girl friendly!! This is the best bodysuit I’ve been able to find. It’s so soft and comfortable. As a tall girly, I find it so hard to find a bodysuit and this one actually fits and looks great. I sized up for the length." —Brooke

Get it from Quince for $29.90 (available in sizes XS—XL and three colors).

2. A plunge T-shirt bra that uses a "jelly band" rather than a traditional underwire to hold up the twins, so you can feel supported without ever experiencing the squeezing and digging that is the underwire's unfortunate specialty. And reviewers say it works well with low necklines!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "LOVE this bra so much! It is very, very soft, and the padding feels very natural. Bonus — it comes with a band extender, so if you're between sizes, I would recommend sizing down for the band, as you can use the extender if needed. The deep-V means it will work under lower-cut tops — which is what I was specifically looking for. I will definitely be buying more of this bra in other colors." —G.H. Cangahuala

"Comfortable and affordable! Perfect fit. I can’t do wire bras; they dig into my chest too much and are such a pain. I’ve been looking for some affordable wireless bras that check every box, and these do! They’re so buttery soft yet provide the perfect amount of support all around! I love the wide straps and wide band, the cup padding is good quality too, and removable. Plus, these have three hooks instead of two and come with the small extender (I won’t need it). The coverage is great, and the ladies don’t fall out when you bend over. I’ve always loved Victoria's Secret bras, but they can break the bank. These are affordable! And worth every penny." —Mary Beechy

Get it from Amazon for $18.98+ (available in sizes XS–3X, including plus sizes, and 32 colors).

3. A three-pack of compression socks, for anyone who finds that this circulation-supporting footwear keeps their legs feeling good after a gym visit, but doesn't wear them regularly because they only have a pair or two. Stock up so you always have a few in rotation!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I wear these under my leggings for running. They are not too tight, and they keep my legs from being too sore and swelling after longer runs." —Scottie

"Great added pressure, not too tight, but enough so my calves don’t hurt after leg day at the gym. I also use them for long hikes too, they have been a great help!" —Phong Ly

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes S/M–L/XL and 21 color combos).

4. A pair of leakproof shorts so you can mix up your selection of period underpants — or try them for the first time. These boy shorts soak up 5.5 super tampons worth of fluid, but without the constricting shape of briefs. 

Knix

Promising review: "I really wish I bought these years ago! They’ve made my period so much more comfortable. I was worried that they would be too constricting around the thighs, but they feel like you’re not wearing anything, without being loose and not feeling secure." —Polina a

Get it from Knix for $48 (available in sizes XS–4XL and seven colors).

5. A pair of ultra-fluffy "cloud socks" to help you achieve your maximum personal coziness potential. Reviewers say these socks stay fuzzy even after repeated washes, so no need to worry they'll ever feel less snuggly than they did the day you bought them.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Fuzzy, soft, and kept my feet warm at night. Even after repeated washes, they feel like brand-new. Fit perfectly and have lasted still. No grip on the bottom, but I wear it with slippers or in boots to keep my feet warm in the New England winters. They also look amazing and beautiful pink color has lasted." —Natalia

"I loveeee these socks! My sister travels for work, and I sent her a pair for her birthday. She loves them just as much as I do. They are thick and so soft and don’t pill or get worn through after washing and wearing many times. Yeah, I love them, and they are a perfect gift." —neila

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors and in one-, two-, and three-pack options).

6. Awire-free brathat uses the brand's EB Core design — an underwire alternative that lifts and separates without constricting or digging into your skin. If you're looking for support without feeling like your boobs are being strangled by underwire all day, you may want to give this a look.

Evelyn Bobbie

Promising review: "As a no-fuss, no-hassle gal, but with a need to feel comfortable, this bra has changed my life. My boobs are lifted, there are zero back rolls, the straps are comfortable, but I mean... the lift! And it's comfortable? It lifted not only my boobs, but my spirits :)." —Tricia O.

Get it from Evelyn Bobbie for $98 (available in sizes S—3XL, and nine colors).

7. A set of five socks that are printed with classic paintings, because you don't have to only rep your favorites on T-shirts or tote bags; you can also use the real estate on your feet to let the world know what you love. Choose from iconic works like the Mona Lisa, "Starry Night," "The Scream," and more — whatever you want to display in the art museum on your ankle.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love them. I opened the package, and they are beautiful. I am headed back into the office after WFH for three years and wanted something special to mark this occasion for my business attire. These are going to add that bit of flair in what would be otherwise mundane!" —Deborah B.

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 sock combos).

8. A Forme bra that doesn't just support your chest — it also helps support your posture! This sports bra uses tensile fabric to pull your shoulders back into their healthiest alignment — ideal for those of us who find that years of sitting at a desk have left us slumped over, basically at a 45-degree angle all day.

Forme

Promising review: "Amazing! I wore this a couple of times now, while working at home and while traveling. It kept my shoulders back without me having to think about it. I’ve also seen results after wearing it, which is the ultimate goal: long-term change in posture. It also looks super cute, long lines are cute." —Robin E.

Get it from Forme for $188 (available in sizes XS—3XL and seven colors).

9. An underwire front-closure bra that runs up to 50H, because, as a larger-chest-haver myself, I can attest that it's no fun squeezing yourself into a smaller bra when that's all you can find. Getting the exact right size truly means everything when it comes to comfort! And to increase your comfort, this bra has an extra layer of cushion laid around its underwire, so you can avoid the dreaded "wire poke."

Amazon

Promising review: "I bought a 38D front closure. This is the best bra I’ve ever bought! I have searched and bought many, and this is the first bra and underwire that doesn’t dig in and ride up my back, making my boobs look saggy and droopy. The front closure works best for me. I’m 5’2", and adjustable straps on bras are still too long. I’ve cut and shortened bra straps with no luck. It really is a very comfortable underwire that doesn’t dig into my skin and leave red marks. And the added lift is great!!!" —Lori

Get it from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in band sizes 34–50, cup sizes B–H, and 12 colors/prints).

10. A unlined minimizer, because one reviewer said that it "feels like you are wearing nothing," and when it comes to bras, who could truly ask for anything more?

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I have had this sitting in my list for months before deciding to buy. It is viral online, and I didn’t want to be influenced by social media. I’m upset I waited so long to try. This bra is amazing for large-chested women who seem to have a gap at the top, and bras just overall fit weird. This is the most comfortable bra that holds everything in all around. Feels like you are wearing nothing." —Harleigh

"This bra is perfect! It really does minimize, love the comfort. I will order again. Was true to size." —Marie

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+(available in band sizes 34–42, cup sizes C–DDD, and nine colors).

11. A pair of no-show hipster panties that actually won't ride up, because they have silicone-edged leg openings designed to keep them in place — even when you're walking tons, dancing, and doing other things that make your regular underpants decide to suddenly relocate.

Soma

Promising reviews: "I love these panties so much! I have been buying them for over seven years now and couldn’t be happier. They fit so amazingly and are quite possibly my favorite undergarments ever!!" —ChiTownGirl5

"Great fabric, great fit, and they stay put! They are my go-to panties…" —Soo1

Get them from Soma for $20 (available in sizes XS—XXL and 43 colors; all colors not available in all sizes).

12. A pair of sheer heart-print crew socks, for anyone who is tired of wearing their heart on their sleeve... and ready to start wearing it on their feet. These whimsical, psychedelically patterned socks will look amazing paired with open-toe heels, loafers, and a mini-skirt, or any other look you can dream up to show them off. 

Sock Candy

Promising review: "I love these!!! The socks feel really substantial, even though they are sheer. They looked perfect peeking out of the top of Chelsea boots. These socks can add a little interest to an everyday outfit. I suspect I may be purchasing more styles soon." —Rachael 

Get them from Sock Candy for $18 (available in one size). 

13. A T-shirt bra that's designed with special smoothing fabric to avoid pinching and smushing the skin of your back the way so many other bras do. Plus, they're available in half-cup sizes, for the most accurate fit possible. 

Thirdlove

Promising review: "This is hands-down the best bra I have ever purchased. I have struggled with cup gaps and thin bands that made me feel squished and uncomfortable for so long, but this bra changed the game. For the first time ever, I don’t dread putting my bra on in the morning! I’ll be a lifelong customer." —Madison H.

Get it from Thirdlove for $78 (available in band sizes 32—42, cup sizes A—H, including half sizes in A—D, and four colors).

14. A lace low-rise thong to go with those low-rise jeans you just bought (yup, they're back!). These stretchy undies have a flat, V-shaped waist, so they won't cut into your skin like other thongs. And the cotton-lined gusset means you can wear these without irritation.

Bare Necessities

Promising review: "Love the lining, most comfortable thong I own now. I never feel like I'm getting flossed:D." —Audra L.

Get it from Bare Necessities for $16.80 (originally $24; available in one size and five colors).

15. An eight-pack of Saucony moisture-wicking low-profile socks that are also designed with padded heel tabs to prevent your run from being ruined by chafing or blisters, and arch compression to reduce foot fatigue. And with this many socks on hand, you'll always have a pair ready when the urge to raise your heart rate strikes.

www.amazon.com

Read more about how compression socks may help with foot pain by helping reduce inflammation and improving circulation, according to Cleveland Clinic. 

Promising review: "These sports socks are comfortable, breathable, and stay in place during workouts. The cushioning is just right — not too thick, not too thin. They keep my feet dry even after long runs or gym sessions. I also like the snug fit around the arch. Highly recommend for daily exercise or casual wear!" —CJ

Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $14.04+ (available in women's S–L and 26 color combos).

16. A high-impact sports bra that's designed for larger busts, with a cross-back design intended to help evenly distribute weight and keep straps from digging into your shoulders. Wide straps with adjustable clasps help you get a custom fit, so you can focus your energy on your lifting, jogging, or HIIT class, instead of on keeping your boobs from bouncing painfully around.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love the feeling, quality, and performance of this bra. I've recently bought a whole new set of workout bras from Nike, Fabletics, Lululemon, etc., and this is the most comfortable and well-performing of them all. It fits perfectly, holds, doesn't rub, and has a very cute color. Love it! Will buy more." —Nicholas

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes S—5X and 16 colors).

17. A five-pack of cotton-blend tie-dye socks, because beneath that business-casual office look, you're a hippie at heart. These socks will also look cute with slip-ons and Crocs — and unlike socks that you tie-dyed yourself, the color on these won't run all over your laundry the first time you wash them.

Amazon

Promising review: "I love these socks! I have bought these a few times over the last decade. I like wearing them around the house, especially. They are comfortable — I hate the feel of a lot of socks, but these are soft. They are thick enough that they are warm in the winter, but also very breathable for summer. I love the colors, too." —another jenn

Get it from Amazon for$12.99+(available in three color combos).

18. A pair of stick-on lifting pasties, so you can be fully prepared for all the strapless dresses, halter tops, camisoles, and other fun-but-bra-unfriendly looks that you want to strut in this fall (and beyond).

Nordstrom Rack

Get it from Nordstrom Rack for $9.97 (originally $25).

19. A set of retro-inspired crew socks that are a little bit like your usual plain white ones, except with a vintage twist. You'll be eager to pair these with shorts, skirts, and cropped-leg jeans — unlike so many other socks, they can be an actual design element in your look rather than just a functional item.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am unapologetically obsessed with these socks. They're like if your gym teacher from the '70s and a Pinterest influencer had a baby — and that baby was incredibly cozy and stylish.

"These socks are thick (but not sweaty), soft (but not flimsy), and have that perfect vintage vibe that makes me want to pair them with sneakers, Birks, or just strut around my house like I’m in a lifestyle montage. The stripes? Iconic. The comfort? Unreal. The compliments? Rolling in."Honestly, I’ve washed them a bunch already, and they’re holding up like champs. If I could wear them every day without judgment (and laundry limitations), I would." —Kristy

Get them from Amazon for $6.97+ (available in 22 color combos and in two-, three-, or five-packs).

20. A padded push-up bra to do the impossible: according to reviewers, achieve the cleavage look they're going for, while also being so comfy they forget that they're wearing it.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "For all my natural big-breasted sisters... get this bra!! This is by far one of the best bras I have ever owned. This bra is super comfortable and attractive. I totally recommend. Can't beat it for the price." —Amazon Customer

"Best bra everrrrr. Genuinely such a good bra! I have C cups, but am pretty wide chested, so you can’t tell, but oh my lord, do my boobs look amazing in this. It is so comfortable, which surprised me because of the lace detailing, but I genuinely have been forgetting I’m even wearing a bra, and it fits perfectly as expected. It holds my boobs in place, gives me great cleavage, perfect functionality, and it comes in perfect colors. Legit couldn’t ask for more!" —Jack

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in band sizes 30–42, cup sizes A–DDD, and 19 colors). 

21. A pair of embroidered "hot dog" ankle socks because, um, how could you pass on adding something this adorable to your sock drawer? But if visual puns alone aren't enough to entice you, reviewers also say they stand up well to repeated washings.

Target

Promising reviews: "Comfortable and super cute socks. Perfect length. I wear these to the gym when I am feeling funny and then even at home every day! I hope the brand makes more versions with other fun designs!" —Casual Mom

"Super cute!!!!!!!! I love them! They have held up well with several washings and came at a good price!" —Kimberley

Get them from Target for $3. 

22. A classic Calvin Klein bralette that's been famous since Kate Moss iconically modeled it in the '90s. While they might look insubstantial, these unlined 100% cotton pull-on bralettes have actually been a fan favorite for decades because they work well with a wide variety of body types; reviewers say they're comfortable and supportive for both larger and smaller chests.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "This bra is so comfortable and wonderful. It's great as a daily bra, and it's also perfectly comfortable for a night out. I love that it has no wires and no clasps and is still supportive enough. Great design! I would definitely recommend it to other customers!" —CB

"I spent hours trying to find the best CK comfy bra, and this is it. The fit is perfect! The quality is perfect! I can lounge around the house in comfort, finally. I can also wear it with pretty much everything. I have a hard time finding bras and sports bras that fit due to breast implants, and finally, I’ve found the perfect bralette. I highly recommend this bra, it’s not a jogging bra, so I wouldn’t be working out in it at all, it is a comfort bra, it looks great under T-shirts and tank tops, and it has a barely there type of feel." —Elizabeth

Get it from Amazon for $14.39+(available in sizes XS—3X and 23 colors/ patterns).

23. A set of six contrast pattern socks, for anyone who is simply over packs of boring white socks. Each pack features a set of different (but complementary!) colors and patterns, ready to teach your sock drawer how to cut loose a little. If you tend toward plainer socks, you might be surprised to find out how fun it is to have a little pattern peek out from below the hem of your pants.

Walmart

Promising review: "The only socks I have purchased in the past two years that were very soft, did not slide down or shrink, and were very comfortable! Highly recommend!" —Paula

Get it from Walmart for $8.47 (available in 10 color combos).

24. A five-pack of high-waisted cotton-blend briefs so comfy, many reviewers said they bought them more than once. 

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I have ordered this underwear several times, the quality is excellent, they are so comfortable and made of cotton." —michele anderson

"So comfortable!!! Great coverage with soft fabric. Leg opening is well-padded and soft. Nice back-end coverage with no 'riding up' issues. Bought again for more pairs, I was so pleased." —Carol

Get them from Amazon for $20.39+(available in sizes XS—5XL and 10 color combos).

25. A gorgeous full-coverage underwire bra, for folks who aren't fans of lace, but are fans of getting full coverage and support, and also looking sexy as all get out.  

Amazon

Promising review: "I didn’t know how a bra was supposed to fit ’til one actually did. I am a 34J, and those are nowhere to be found other than in custom. This fits perfectly, and I am so happy it’s not over $100. Affordable, comfortable, fits correctly, AND because the band and cups are the correct size, they do all the supporting, which means NO STRAP DIGGING!! Woohooo!" —J. Lyle

Get it from Amazon for $41.30+ (available in band sizes 34–46, cup sizes DD–O, and 14 colors; all cup sizes not available with all band sizes).
