Winter is the longest season of the year for me, so I’m always adding new and fun cozy staples to my closet. I tend to go overboard with cozy fashion finds, so I get extra excited when I can score expensive-looking pieces at a steal price. Forever 21 is one of the best places to shop for that. They have the cutest sets, sweaters, and jackets that fall under $50. It amazes me that I can create full-on winter looks at that price point – and I don’t even have to pay full price up front now that Forever 21 offers Afterpay.

Afterpay is a payment service that splits the cost of your order into four interest-free payments every two weeks. To use this service, all you have to do is choose “Installments by Afterpay” as your payment method at checkout. Once you pay the first payment during check out, your order will ship as usual. I love having the flexibility of interest-free payments because it allows me to stay on top of my shopping budget. If you’re ready to shop, then keep scrolling because I rounded up all the best cozy staples that don’t cost a fortune below.

Fleece & Faux Shearling Jackets

Coats and jackets are key items in my wardrobe because I spend most of my days wearing them. I’m constantly on the lookout for new styles to add to my rotation. The cozy trend I’ve been obsessed with is fleece and faux shearling outerwear. There are so many different styles that you can wear to create some cool, cozy looks from from moto jackets to cropped silhouettes.

Matching Loungewear Sets

I’ve been living in matching loungewear sets over the past few weeks. There’s so much to love about them, but my favorite reason has to be that they’re so easy to mix and match. They’re also comfortable and stylish enough that I can wear them when I have to run errands or grab coffee. You guys have been asking me to share more affordable loungewear pieces, and to be honest, I’ve been finding the best sets at Forever 21. From coordinating sweatshirts and sweatpants to cozy short sets, Forever 21 has them all for less than $40 a pop!

Shackets

Casual, cozy outfits are all I want to wear lately, and nothing nails that vibe like the shacket trend. Both neutral and plaid shackets add an effortless touch to any outfit. I’ve been wearing them with turtlenecks, jeans or leggings, and combat boots nonstop. I shared a few styles from Forever 21 recently, which you guys have been loving so I wanted link more here too!

Hoodies & Sweatshirts

I’m always up for simple, uncomplicated outfits – and that almost always involves a hoodie or a sweatshirt. These cozy staples are super versatile and can be worn throughout the year. I especially love how chic they look layered underneath a biker jacket, blazer, or a tailored coat. They’re my go-to when I want to be casual with a street style edge.

Sweetheart Neckline Knit Tops

As much as I love lounge sets right now, there are days when I actually want to get dressed for a sense of normalcy. One of the cozy staples that’ll help you stay comfy but look put together is sweetheart neckline knit tops. They’re so feminine and seductive. You can wear them with sweatpants during a Zoom call or dress them up with jeans for a going-out look.
