This roomy, versatile sweater comes in so many colors — I'm loving these for fall and beyond. (Amazon)(Amazon)
With the changing of the seasons on the horizon, it might be time to refresh your wardrobe with some fall-ready wear that will last and last. After all, "sweater weather" is a year-round thing, thanks to cool fall mornings, chilly winter temps and powerful AC action come spring and summer. As a huge sweater fan, I wear these cozy layers every season. And, especially as I've gotten older, the roominess and extra length that many sweaters provide help me feel less self-conscious thanks to the bum and tummy coverage. Right now, I'm loving Amazon's No. 1 bestselling Lillusory Oversized Batwing Sweater — it comes in 35 colors, offers all the coverage I love and is up to nearly 50% off.
According to our price tracking, this $20 black version is within a dollar of its all-time low, and other styles are massively discounted too. When a sweater is this popular, it usually means it's cozy, well-made and well-fitting for most body types. For just a single Andrew Jackson, it'll pay for itself over and over.
I try to keep as many pieces as possible in my wardrobe that look great every time I put them on. The billowy Lillusory sweater is just that. Its length hits just below the butt, meaning I can wear pretty much any bottoms, from jeans to yoga pants, with it. And the batwing sleeves give it a blanket-like appeal — something extravagant-feeling that you can get lost inside of. It's also very size-inclusive, from XS to 3X.
The praise for this sweater is strong, with nearly 3,500 five-star ratings and shoppers listing every little thing they love about the Lillusory looker.
The fit is something shoppers of all shapes and sizes are raving about. One wrote, "I am 5'11", and the arms are long enough for me!" Another customer said, "This did not make me look like a sack of potatoes! I'm short, midsize and large-chested." And one shopper wrote, "I wear it with leggings; the coverage is perfect, hiding my stomach and butt. True to size."
"The fit is comfortable and flattering," was the refrain of so many reviewers. One snuggle-happy fan said the sweater "feels like a warm, soft hug. It hugs in all the right places... It’s going to look so cute with tights and a mini skirt or leggings or even jeans in the winter. ... I’m big on texture and everything about this sweater is perfection."
It's also versatile, as this swooning reviewer explained: "Pair it with jeans for a casual dinner, leggings and sneakers for errands, a slip skirt for a dressier look. I'm obsessed. ... Give me 14 of 'em!" Another noted that "the oversized fit is perfect for layering, and it’s incredibly comfortable without feeling bulky."
Something important to know about the Lillusory sweater is that it's intentionally made with the seams on the outside; appearing "inside out" is part of the style. While many shoppers like the look, it's not for everyone. "All of the seams are inside out, including the collar. That's a bit overkill on the design," one seamingly unhappy reviewer wrote.
Beyond that, it could feel too baggy if you're not into oversized clothing. "Great sweater, but size down!" noted a shopper. "The sweater is great and very soft and warm. I am in between sizes small and medium, depending on the clothing item. I got a small, and it was way too big everywhere and came down to almost the top of my knees. Going to exchange it for the XS."
