You could get three of these popular bodysuits for less than the cost of one Skims bodysuit — and some shoppers say this one’s even better than Skims. Made from a soft, breathable polyester-spandex blend, the Brabic hugs you in all the right places; its firm-control midsection sucks in your waist, fans say. 

With adjustable straps and full coverage in the back, it even helps lift and shape the bum. A three-hook closure at the crotch makes it bathroom-friendly too — a total must in bodysuits.

This might be the most popular fleece jacket ever made. If you’ve never owned one, it’s time to get one. If you have owned one, it’s time for a new one! After all, now’s the best time to save big on cold-weather essentials.

Made of soft maximum-thermal-retention (MTR) filament fleece, this piece works to keep you toasty even on the coolest days. It’s thin enough to serve as the perfect under-layer with a parka or puffer in winter. Large side-zip pockets securely hold phones, keys and cash. And the collared neck is not only super-flattering but ultra-practical, negating the need for a scarf.

Effortless and oversized, this cozy sweater is both soft and chic. It has that ’90s slouchy vibe, thanks to the batwing sleeves, and the side slits keep things loose and long enough to cover your backside. It’s a ribbed knit made with polyester and nylon, which makes it extra soft with a lot of give for a lounge-y fit. And while it certainly can dress up leggings around the house, it also does a lot for a pair of jeans when you go on an adventure outside.

Featuring a solid rubber sole with an air cushion to put some extra pep in your step, these sneakers have a perforated arch that allows for ventilation and breathability while lending plenty of support. 

Podiatrists love ’em too: “Stability, or support, is probably the most important quality of a sneaker or any other shoe that someone will wear if they are to be on their feet for more than a few minutes at a time,” said Richard H. Graves, a podiatrist with Sol Foot & Ankle Centers in Longwood, California. 

With a knit upper, these walking shoes are slip-ons, which means no fumbling with shoelaces or Velcro straps. The wide toe box allows your dogs to stretch out. 

Oh, and FYI: Prices do vary a bit depending on size/color.
