One five-star reviewer wrote, "I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this sweater. I wanted a navy sweater to wear around the house to pair with all my cozies. Working from home video call tip — a sweater magically makes you look dressier than a sweatshirt! This sweater was good quality. I was most impressed with the softness — not scratchy while still looking higher quality. I wash this and put it in the dryer on a lower heat. I'd say it's not thick and chunky, but definitely would not describe it as lightweight. The navy color that I got is very deep, almost black."

This high-waist style lengthens your legs (especially when you add a heel) and helps flatten your middle. And, in case you haven't noticed — they're a ridiculous $16! Check out our full Gloria Vanderbilt jeans review for everything you need to know about these classics.

They flatter the body, a fan explained: "Do you have curves? Do you have hips? Do you want pants that make your butt look good? These are the pants. They say 'Honey, I'm gonna take care of you.' They zip up, give a little tummy tucking, and they love your curves without feeling too tight."

This cardi is back down to its Black Friday price, so you'll want to snap it up, especially now that winter is here. There are plenty of similar sweaters out there, but they can set you back as much as $80, so finding a good cardigan that you can wear every day at this price is kind of magical.

This comfy cardi is about as versatile as it gets. Use it as an added layer when you're indoors and need a bit more warmth, or wear it out paired with a cute T-shirt and jeans. The open front makes for a breezy, flowy fit, and the sweater is nice and long for some extra rear-end coverage. You'll get two roomy side pockets to put your phone or wallet in when you pop out to do some quick errands. With 35 colors and sizes ranging from S to XXL, you're sure to find your cardigan companion.

Over 7,400 five-star reviewers are impressed not only by the quality of this open-front sweater, but by how easily it can transition into a more dressy-casual look.

Pros 👍

One five-star reviewer wrote, "This sweater is lightweight, yet incredibly warm. As in, I can't have the heat on in my car in the winter while wearing it or I burst into flames warm. If you are cold all the time, buy every color. You will never be cold again!"

"I love the cardigan, and it looks just like the picture," assured a shopper. "I love the fit and the look, and it's very slimming and flattering."

Another five-star fan noted that she received many compliments: "[It's] well made and fits perfectly. I don't like my sweaters tight, and this is comfy without being baggy. Very pretty weave and the color I chose goes perfectly with a wide variety of blue jeans and leggings."

"I received my first one as a gift and promptly went and bought one in another color," said this repeat customer. "It layers perfectly for cooler spring/fall days and evenings and goes comfortably over another shirt for winter wear. So cute and covers just below my bottom with a flattering curve."

Cons 👎

Quick care tip: "I love this sweater, the color is beautiful also," a shopper shared. "Would not recommend washing with lighter items, as the lint sticks to the material easily. Definitely hang dry only. Would buy again in another color!"

Some wearers also noted that, if you're on the shorter side, the cardigan may run longer on you. "I'm 5'1" and this easily brushed the back of my knees. Way too long for me," said one. "The color was great. I gave it to a tall friend who was thankful to have it."
