A slimming puffer vest? Yep, it's a thing! (Amazon)(Amazon)
Outerwear tends to be... what's the word? Bulky! When the temperatures dip, many of us are resigned to the fact that we're going to look like walking snow globes until spring. Slimming, attractive outerwear isn't easy to find. But we are here to tell you that it can be done — and we've got proof! The much-praised Fuinloth Women's Quilted Vest is on sale at Amazon now for just $28, down from $33. This transitional piece is just the thing to keep you toasty, while still looking svelte. Zip this baby over a sweater on a chilly morning and you'll be good to go. Once we hit colder temps, it'll feel like a warm hug under a coat without adding any uncomfortable bulk.
If your denim collection could use a refresh, these No. 1 bestselling high-rise tapered jeans belong in your wardrobe. Not only are they flattering, with their leg-lengthening high waist, reviewers also say they're super comfortable — and the tapered design will highlight all of your cute fall boots! $12 for a pair of jeans is practically unheard of these days, with many quality pairs costing upward of $100. These cost less than the price of a movie ticket, and we've yet to see them on sale for less all year.
"Always comfortable. Always look good," asserted one stylish shopper. "Many times I have [had] to wear [them] day through overnight — sometimes curled up on a two-seater chair to catch a few Zzzs, and never had that stiff-jean, circulation-cutoff, heavy-dye numbing feeling. These have become my go-to jeans."
Effortless and oversize, this comfy sweater is both soft and chic. Plus, more than 3,100 shoppers have given it a five-star review.
Buying a pair of cozy slippers shouldn't make you go, "Ugh" — or "Ugg," for that matter. Amazon customers say these budget-friendly booties stack up against the pricey brand for way less. Treat your feet to these fleece-lined finds before the temps dip!

Retinol isn't just for your face — the rest of your body can reap its benefits too! Known for being one of the most effective ingredients for targeting wrinkles and sun damage, it can also give the skin a more plumped-up appearance. That said, dryness and irritation can occur if you're new to it, which is why using it in moisturizer form is a smart idea.
This rich cream was formulated for application on all skin types, and you're getting a large 16-ounce tub for close to as low as it's ever been marked down to.
Already affordable at its regular price of $33, the Fuinloth Women's Quilted Vest is definitely a steal at $28 with the current discount — the lowest price we've seen in weeks. Slimming vests like this can cost over $150, so this is a deal worth jumping on!
Just right for throwing on when a jacket is too heavy and a sweater is too light, this slim, trim puffer has a polyester shell, lining and filler. That means it will keep you toasty and is super easy to clean. Don't want to carry a purse? No worries — It has two outer zippered pockets and an inner pocket too.
Not only is this vest slimming, but it also folds up nicely so you can throw it in a backpack or suitcase without it taking up too much space. We love a layering piece that you can roll up and take with you.
This top-selling vest has more than 20,000 five-star ratings. Even shoppers who typically go with more expensive brands adore its fit and quality.
"This is well-made with high-quality material and fits like a glove," wrote a wised-up reviewer. "I have several vests from Patagonia and love them, but this is practically identical at a fraction of the cost."
"Very Nice!" gushed a cozy shopper. "This vest fits well, snug not tight. [It] hugged my body, [it's] not bulky and would look great layered."
"This is the perfect lightweight vest," another five-star fan reported. "Some vests can be puffy, but not this. It pulls the outfit together without feeling like a marshmallow. You can wear it underneath a coat without feeling like you are jammed in."
This shopper gave us the skinny on her experience: "Slimming and well-fitted. This vest is a thin puff. ... I have other vests that ... make me feel like a Marshmallow Man or 100 pounds heavier. I received several compliments."
One admirer who called it the "perfect everyday puffer" admitted to a quibble: "This is a great vest for cool weather. It’s comfy and flattering. There is not much stretch to it so if you are shorter with curvy hips, it might be hard to zip and sizing up might help."
Several shoppers agreed that sizing up is probably needed, especially if you like to layer. "I made the mistake of believing Amazon’s size suggestion for me. It turned out too small, so I had to return and order one size up. THAT ONE was too small, too!! I liked this vest so much that I ordered a third time! This time I got it right. But it’s actually a size bigger than my normal. ... My advice: Carefully check the size charts for the item, and don’t take Amazon’s size suggestions seriously," advised one wearer.
