7 Comfortable Things to Add to Your Wardrobe This Fall
We put up with so much—tight jeans! stiff shapewear! sole-crushing heels!—all in the name of looking good. But this fall, you can slip into something a little cozier without sacrificing form or function.

Tie One On
You're never going to want to take this scarf off—and luckily, you won't have to. Made of 100 percent cashmere, the plush wrap is long enough for several loops around your neck on a chilly day and wide enough to double as a shawl in an over-air-conditioned office.

Underthings That Do Not Suffocate You
1. Wearing too-tight undergarments is no way to live! For those who feel like a sausage in shapewear, Spanx's lightweight Trust Your Thinstincts Short has strategically placed paneling that smooths without cutting off circulation.

$58; Spanx.com
2. If you have a bigger chest, we suggest Cacicque for Lane Bryant's T-shirt bra. Its three-clasp closure and extra-wide straps mean you won't have underwir squeezing your rib cage.
$43 to $56; LaneBryant.com
3. There's only one thing to say about these tights: The fleece lining is a luxurious surprise. You'll thank us on wind-whipping days.
$35; Plush-Apparel.com
4. A recent poll of 10,000 women found that 64 percent wear the wrong bra size. Reclaim a little support with Soma's seamless bra.

Your New Fave Shirt
Kit and Ace's especially engineered blend mixes all the good things about cashmere (so soft!) without the annoying parts (not machine washable) into one amazing wear-with-anything top. Plus, it's longer in the back for ample rear coverage.

Underwear For All
Cosabella's lace panties feel as good as they look, whether you're a thong wearer or need more coverage. Because they're cut to lie flat against your body, there's no awkward bunching.
Never Say Never, $26 to $50; Cosabella.com
Clockwise from top left:
Thong: So lightweight, you'll forget you're wearing it.
Cheeky: The scalloped lace edges won't dig into your seat.
Hipster: Hits right at the hip bone, giving extra tummy support.
High Waisted: Total coverage without panty lines.

Denim Delight
Recently, a 35-year-old woman in Australia had to be cut out of her skinny jeans—they were so tight, her feet went numb. You can get slimming denim without a trip to the ER. This pair is stretchy and soft enough to feel like jeggings (without, thankfully, being jeggings).

Happy Heels
Rockport has teamed with Adidas to bring running-shoe technology to three-inch heels. Thanks to Adiprene cushions at the ball of the foot and the heel, you'll feel like you're walking on air. Best part: The pumps have flexible arches—a hallmark of any comfortable shoe.
