While it’s tempting for fashionphiles to immediately start trend forecasting all the fashion trends that are to come in 2026, it’s worth making note of the most popular styles from 2025; there’s a good chance they’ll endure in the new year. We combed the data to see what clothing items and brands HuffPost readers absolutely loved last year, and it’s chock-full of clothing for both men and women that will come in handy long-term.Below, we’ve compiled a selection of your most shopped brand and wardrobe pieces, all of which deserve a spot in your rotation. From comfy hiking boots from Merrell to quick-drying capris and a chic sweater that’s perfect for the chilly months ahead, we’ve got you covered.AmazonA pair of Zigzagger men's slip-on mocsWhen it comes to cozy slippers with arch support, these wool-like moc slippers reign supreme. A closed-back heel gives you extra security as you walk or lounge with a high-density memory foam insole that will mold to your feet while still giving you support. They're machine washable and have a rubber sole to give you traction on indoor flooring or when wearing outside. These come in a bunch of colors in sizes 5-15.Promising review: "My wife bought these for me and I couldn’t be more impressed. The materials these slippers are made of are top notch and the craftsmanship is excellent. These slippers provide great arch support and fit very close to the size chart. Actually perfect! I have flat feet and need a lot of cushioning. They absolutely provide comfort and softness to the feet. The leather material is super high end quality and will last me for sometime to come. The color is very true to the pictures displayed. My wife did good as I needed them. You won’t be disappointed!" — Robb & ShelleyAmazonSome buttery soft track sweatpantsAvailable in a truly endless array of colors and patterns from lime green to mauve to navy and gray, these buttery soft joggers are one of the highest rated and most reviewed options on Amazon. They are made from a buttery soft material, feature two functional pockets and are available in women's sizes S-3X.In our previous coverage on women's sweatpants, these came out on top with HuffPost readers.Promising Amazon review: "I was just looking for a pair of sweats to wear on the plane, my only requirement was a fitted ankle (soft not scrunched) since I'm short and trip over every other type out there. These felt thin when they came in which was fine since temps were triple digits but the thinness is deceptive. These pants are both cooling and warming, I don't get it. The fabric is amazingly soft too so these moved up from travel sweats to chilling at home whenever. I will definitely be ordering a few more pairs." — C.C.AmazonA 12-pack of colorful teesWhen it comes to our 2025 coverage of men's T-shirt packs, this twelve-pack from Amazon is the most popular with HuffPost readers, by a mile. It'll have you covered every day of the week for nearly a fortnight, making them ideal for people who don't have laundry machines in their home. They're also available in an extended size range of S-5XL. Reviewers note that they're soft, high-quality and perfect for layering.Promising review: "These are of a nice quality. Washed and dried well. I would gift them and I would buy them again." — Amazon customerAmazonA stylish two-piece sweater and wide-leg sweatpants setI've written in the past about the kind of soft, comfortable clothes I like to wear while traveling, and this two-piece from Amazon is always a winner among HuffPost readers. Not to pick favorites, but it might be my favorite look from the bunch. It's sophisticated, elegant and sharp enough to wear straight from your flight to dinner. It has a slouchy fit that doesn't look messy, while the striped top adds a bit of pizzazz without being garish. It's available in 20 color combos in sizes S-XL.Promising review: "I got this for my airport look and oh my it was a hug that I wore throughout my flight. Its very comfortable true to size and warm for the plane and just the negative is No pockets. Ladies it's a must have in your wardrobe, style it , flaunt it , casual meeting , airport look , grocery run , anywhere u can wear it. Its slightly warm , wash in cold water , you can use dryer as mine is in perfect condition. Its a must have wardrobe item value for money, true to size and very very comfortable and stylish." — Mallika BansalKuruA pair of comfy slip on sneakers for menThese sneakers blew all the others out of the water in HuffPost coverage. Dr. Gary Evans, a podiatrist based in New York City, previously suggested shoes from Kuru, a brand that specializes in pain-relief footwear, and specifically conditions like plantar fasciitis. Based on this brand mention, we chose the Atom, an everyday shoe that Kuru claims is a slip-on version of its bestselling sneaker. Like most of Kuru's designs, these shoes offer dynamic heel support and an arch-supportive foot bed that keeps feet stable and comfortable. The outers are made with a breathable and ultra-flexible knit and you can shop them in three colors and men's sizes 7-13.AmazonHanes cotton blend men's sweatpantsA classic for a reason, these Hanes bottoms (available in sizes S–3XL) are made from a cotton polyester blend that you can wear most of the year. With a straight leg and an open hem, they're a roomy fit that you'll never want to take off. Out of the 11 sweatpants featured in an article about men's sweatpants, these came out on top. You just can't beat the price and comfort!Promising review: "Well priced and very soft and comfortable. I wear them around the house all the time as well as during my workouts. Great product!" — Terry L. HouseworthGapA cozy cotton sweaterHuffPost's resident sweater aficionado, deputy director Lindsay Holmes, convinced half the newsroom and HuffPost readers alike to purchase this perfect everyday cotton sweater from Gap.She said, "This sweater is the It Girl of my wardrobe this season, thanks to its versatility and quality. In fact, it’s so good that I convinced a handful of my coworkers to buy it for themselves (one day we’ll all match at the office). You can wear this sweater as a layer or on its own. I’ve styled it tied around my shoulders, over T-shirts, with skirts, with lounge pants ― you name it. The cotton fabric makes it feel elevated with zero itchiness. Plus, as a tall person, I appreciate that it comes in a longer length option."Gap is regularly releasing new colorways and restocking when it sells out.AmazonA pair of expensive-looking jeans at AmazonWe spent the summer with our eagle eyes trained on the "Devil Wears Prada 2" set for wearable looks we could copy. Anne Hathaway's white barrel Nili Lotan jeans took the internet by storm, and these lookalikes were just what HuffPost readers needed. You might be surprised to find that these jeans, while remarkably similar to their designer doppelgangers, are available at Amazon. They have an elegant drape that is not too oversized, while the darted detailing contributes to the elevated silhouette that makes them look much more expensive than they really are. Pair them with heels or keep things casual and cool with sneakers; either way, these versatile jeans are an absolute must. You can get them in 10 different colors, which is helpful if you're not the kind of person who wears white after Labor Day, in sizes 4-18.ZapposA pair of under-the-radar Hoka sneakersHuffPost readers scooped up the lesser-known Hoka Solimar sneakers in droves after HuffPost Shopping writer Erica Kam gave them her stamp of approval. calling them her "favorite walking shoe."She explained that, "The Solimar has a balanced midsole that’s forgiving, but still firm. The extended crash pad absorbs enough impact that I don’t feel like I’m on a trampoline every time I take a walk." She also appreciates the Solimar’s stack height and thinner design. The support is evident, but the shoes don’t look as bulbous from the top as some of the other Hoka models.The soles are made from a durable, high-abrasion rubber that can last through daily use and are extra-padded in areas more likely to endure wear. The uppers are made of a breathable, recycled mesh, and the collar and tongue have padding that feels soft without rubbing uncomfortably against Kam's ankles.She added, "I’ve put these to the test by taking them out for over 10,000-step walks on a pretty regular basis. They’ve served me well as a Manhattanite, from trekking hundreds of city blocks to even trudging up a hill’s worth of old, rough stairs during a day trip to Governors Island. I’ve never had any soreness or foot pain during or after, which has helped me be more willing and motivated to get my steps in."While the Solimar is technically designed for running and training, according to Hoka, reviewers seem to agree that it’s best suited for everyday wear, including walking, and is great for people with plantar fasciitis. AmazonA casual, drapey dressIn our coverage of spring dresses with sleeves, this swingy Amazon Basics dress came out on top. Perfect for everyday wear, this cute dress has everything you want from a spring look. It's lightweight, flowy, versatile and flattering. It's available in a few different colors and patterns, with mid-length sleeves and a knee-length silhouette. You can get it in sizes XS- XXL.AmazonA 5-pack of full-coverage high-waist cotton underwearThese wildly popular cotton undies are made with a breathable, soft cotton-spandex blend with just the right amount of stretch to allow for freedom of movement. The packs are available in black, white, grey and multiple color options in sizes S-5XL. They feature a double-layered waistband that sits at the belly button, are sweat-wicking and won't cut into your limbs. They're also a great option for those who are postpartum, recovering from c-sections or other abdominal surgeries.I was among the legions of HuffPost readers and editors who purchased a pack of these after we first covered them, and I wore them exclusively in the weeks and months after giving birth. I can vouch for the quality and comfort post-cesarean, and recommend them to all my friends when they're expecting a baby. I still wear them over a year and a half later, and am shocked by how well they have held up, through weight fluctuations, time, washings, and the wear and tear that accompanies the postpartum period. Promising review: "If you are anything like me you probably have a few products in your cart and you are doing your homework in the review section. This is your sign to ORDER THEM! I found a few brands I was interested in but ultimately came back and ordered these. There was a review that said “it feels like nothing is on.” At first I thought yeah okay.. but seriously it feels like nothing is on. I am blown away at the quality and comfort of these panties and highly recommend them. I’m usually not a repeat buyer because I find something wrong with any kind I get but I will definitely be ordering another pack in different colors! Love love love them! For reference I am 5’ 2” 230lb with an apron belly and love handles and bought an xl. The high waist band does not dig in and sits right above my belly button. They are super forgiving, super stretchy and have a wide crotch area that is perfect for pad use. So glad I spent the little extra $ and bought these." — Amazon CustomerQuinceA chic shoulder bag made of handwoven leatherQuince is known for making beautifully crafted designer lookalikes, so it's no surprise that HuffPost readers gravitated strongly to this stylish purse in previous coverage. It's similar to the style of Clare V handbags, and available in two sizes, the largest one being $130 (a far cry from Clare V's $485). The bag has a zipper closure, one interior zip pocket and two slip pockets and two straps so you can use this as a shoulder bag or messenger. This comes in six colors.Promising review: "This met… maybe exceeded my expectations. Gold hardware is nice, leather quality is good, size and style is great! I’ve seen a similar bag by Clare V and this one looks as good for a fraction of the price." — Christine Y.AmazonA floaty nightgown that looks as good as it feelsI never imagined my perimenopausal cooling nightgown would become a HuffPost bestseller, but it turns out I'm not the only one who runs hot all night long, year round. I wore it just last night, despite temperatures dipping close to freezing outside, and was comfortable and cozy as could be. Available in 11 colors and patterns in sizes S-XXL, this lace-trimmed nightgown is lightweight and breezy, but still structured enough to be considered “dress-like” when I venture out of doors. The solid color options are made of 100% cotton, while the printed nighties are made with polyester fabric. I own the solid candy blue hue, and can confirm that it feels cooling and comfortable against the skin. I can tell the quality of the cotton and the embroidery stitching is great because I’ve been wearing and washing it on repeat for months and it still looks brand new.It has adjustable straps to ensure a perfect fit, and it provides just the right amount of coverage without being stifling. I am on the petite side, and it hits me right above the knee. The fabric doesn’t bunch up while I’m asleep, nor does the neckline get out of whack and leave me exposed, which just happens to be a huge pet peeve of mine.AmazonThe affordable unisex sweatshirt with an absurd number of 5-star ratingsYou can never go wrong with a classic crewneck sweatshirt, especially if it's under $12 like the Hanes EcoSmart fleece that former contributor Martha Tuber previously covered. With over 100,000 5-star ratings, this pullover comes in unisex sizes S-5XL and a ton of solid color options."I have purchased so many of these - for myself and for gifts! They are cozy without being too heavy. The material is just right so it doesn’t feel stiff when you put it on and it moves well with you," one reviewer wrote. What more could you ask for in a sweatshirt?FormeA posture-improving bra worn by Taylor SwiftForme's posture-correcting bra was purportedly worn by Taylor Swift during rehearsals for her last album tour and has since spawned a cult of enthusiasts, including among HuffPost readers.In lieu of uncomfy wires, the bra sports six tension fabrics and eight double-fabric panels that together are designed to noticeably improve posture and upper body alignment. Over time, the bra is designed to help your body develop posture-supportive muscle memory while helping reduce pain and stiffness. You can grab it in seven colors and sizes XS-3XL.Forme was created by an orthopedic surgeon to help his mother improve her posture and compressed lungs.AmazonSupportive “recovery” sandals that help protect against slipping and trippingCrafted with thick cushioned, shock-absorbing memory foam, these orthopedic athletic sandals are designed to help reduce joint and foot pain during long walks, including from issues like plantar fasciitis. The shoes sport textured soles to help prevent slipping while you explore (especially if you’re wading through a creek or slippery cobblestones), as well as wide soles for added stability against tripping.From brand KuaiLu, the sandals are available in eight colors and sizes 6-12. They were the breakout winner from Shopping writer Griffin Wynne's article about the best walking sandals for travel. Promising review: "I purchased my sandals in May. Haven't worn them much but around the house. But the real test came on my trip to Florida and walking for 12 hours at Universal Studios. I was BEYOND IMPRESSED!! I suffer a lot of foot problems and my feet never heart one ounce all day long! It was like walking on clouds and the arch support and cushioning my heel was spot on! Highly recommended!!" — Susie DuelingBombasBombas' seamless, comfy bralette that impressed a bra haterShopping writer and self-proclaimed bra hater Griffin Wynne penned a review of this Bombas ribbed seamless scoop bralette that garnered some attention from readers in January of this year. "To me, the real selling point of this bralette is how inoffensive and easy it is," Wynne wrote. "With no scratchy parts, pads or clips, you can pull it over your head and be set. You don’t need to fuss with four rows of tiny clasps or extra straps, and to me, at least, it feels really nice on the skin. For context, I exclusively wear 100% cotton shirts and sweatshirts, and I need to take tags out of all my clothing because I am so sensitive to itchy and irritating materials. I know this bralette is good because I don’t spend my whole day waiting to take it off."The bra doesn't have an underwire and is made more for casual everyday use than intense activity like a sports bra. But it's breathable, has adjustable straps and is oh-so-soft, making it a great option to reach for while running errands, for example. You can find it in a ton of colors and sizes XS-2X.AmazonA retro-inspired tummy-control swimsuit with strategically placed ruchingWith a timeless Old Hollywood aesthetic, this one-piece, which is available in sizes XS-XXXL and tons of colors and patterns, is fully lined and has strategically placed ruching, which makes this a good option if you're someone who prefers a flattering look, without an overly compressive feeling. The halter top also has removable push-up padding for added support, while the adjustable ties provide lift. This swimsuit smashed the competition in a lineup of stylish tummy control swimsuits last year. Promising Amazon review: "I love this suit. Usually, I do a fashion show for my husband with swimsuits and didn't this time. I wore it for the first time this weekend and he kept complimenting how great I look...so I KNOW it's a winner. I needed a one piece I could wear to playdates and a family reunion and this fits the bill. I feel cute and covered. The material is not flimsy - it really does hold you in - perfect for a mom tummy. For reference I wear a size 12 and 36DDD. I bought this suit in a size L and it is snug - but in a tummy controlled way. I like that I feel held in and this gives flexibility if it stretches out like most suits seem to. I did a cannonball in the suit and didn't have to readjust under the water so I'm really pleased. For the price this suit is a no brainer." — Millie A. ShipeAmazonSplurgeworthy ankle socks that makes shoes instantly comfortableWho doesn't love a pair of great, cozy socks? After one HuffPost editor recommended these Thorlo ankle socks, HuffPost readers couldn't get enough of them. They're on the pricey side, but worth every penny. Thorlo offers a lifetime guarantee to ensure your socks will be of the highest quality with no defects. For another, Thorlo socks are specifically engineered to distribute padding density where it’s most needed throughout the foot for the most supportive, comfortable fit. (NBA player P.J. Tucker told the New York Times his Thorlos were “the most comfortable socks ever.”)HuffPost audience editor Gina Escandon is a big fan of Thorlo’s maximum cushion ankle walking socks. “I never understood why specialized socks were tailored to different activities — until I wore these, and it clicked,” she says. “Splurging on proper walking socks has made a huge difference in alleviating my foot and heel pain. The ultra-thick cushioning helps so much with shock absorption, it seems like I can walk all day without any soreness or blisters.” (Escandon discovered the socks through her mom, who finds them so comfortable that she often wears them — sans footwear — while driving.)The maximum cushion socks come in three women’s sizes. They have a cushioned instep and spandex arch for a better fit, are made with moisture-wicking fiber and are designed specifically for women’s feet with a smaller heel pocket and more stretch in the ankle. They also offer the most cushion of Thorlo’s styles (which range from ultra-light to maximum). “They’re so cozy I often wear these socks around the house instead of slippers,” Escandon adds, “and they provide tons of support standing on hard floors. I never thought I’ve be raving about a humble sock, but these are truly worth every penny!”AmazonA highly-rated, no frills sneakerHuffPost readers love a comfy sneaker, and these New Balance ones are one of our bestsellers of 2025. The PU foam insert provides both support and comfort, while the blended mesh and leather upper is designed with breathability in mind. You can walk around feeling supported thanks to the specialized rubber content heel panel that reduces compression and the internal shank. The shoes do have a lace-up closure, but come with a heel pull tab that makes it easy to still slip these on and off. The phantom lining inside is odor-resistant and has minimal seaming to prevent irritation to your feet. Reviewers love the comfort and durability of these shoes and the fact that they come in so many sizes, especially in wide sizing.AmazonBaleaf's ever-popular quick-dry hiking pantsYear after year, these Baleaf quick-dry hiking pants continue to be a favorite of HuffPost readers, and 2025 was no different. The pants are stretchy, lightweight, breathable, offer UV protection and have four pockets for storing essentials. The cord locks on the cuffs also help keep bugs out. The pants come in so many colors, with tall and petite inseams also available, and in women's sizes XS-3XL.AmazonSome cushy walking shoes that are "just as comfortable as Hoka" for far lessPerhaps surprisingly, the most clicked-on sneaker of the year for HuffPost readers wasn't from a big-name brand like Hoka or Brooks, but was instead these cushy slip-ons from lesser-known Allswifit. Interest in the sneaks was boosted by an October sale, but even at their full price, they're under $60 and a total steal (compare that to Hoka's triple-digit prices).What's more, reviewers said these sneakers were "just as comfortable as Hoka." You can thank the thick EVA foam midsole that provides cushioning and arch support and breathable mesh uppers for that. The shoes' slip-on design makes it easy to get them on and off without bending over, too. These come in several colorways, in women's sizes 6-11, with wide options available.EverlanePossibly the world's most perfect sweater Facebook user Laura Novakoski told HuffPost that she likes to tuck skinny jeans into knee-high boots and pair them with an oversized or hip-skimming sweater, like this crewneck style we chose from Everlane. She says wearing a sweater "makes me feel like I could be in a holiday photo shoot with a cup of cocoa and fake snowflakes in my hair!"This turned out to be the sweater of HuffPost readers' dreams, doing numbers after it was featured in this story. Available in 11 colors and sizes XXS–XL, this soft, timeless sweater will make all your autumnal dreams come true.MerrellThe boots an avid hiker put to the test all over the worldAlways a top seller, the Merrell Moab 3 hiking boots gained some new interest in the fall after contributor James Barrett declared, "They’re the only shoes I’d bring again, no matter where in the world I’m headed." He put them to the test on hikes in the Galápagos Islands, several national parks in the United States and South Africa."I was pleasantly surprised at how light these boots felt while enduring boat rides, hikes, and lava field walks," he wrote. "They didn’t weigh me down or make my legs ache after hours in the heat. In fact, I sometimes forgot I was wearing proper hiking boots at all, thinking it was a lighter sneaker. For a trip that demanded both endurance and agility, they were ideal." You can grab the tried-and-true boots in a ton of colors, two widths and men's sizes 7-15. They also come in women's sizes 5-13.J.JillA luxurious shirt that looks more expensive than it isThis shirt was the top seller when we covered it last fall in a story about fashion staples beloved by women over 50. We couldn't resist adding such an elegant top to the canon of lightweight button-downs that several people mentioned they are after. It has silky smooth materials and cute buttons that add a bit of charm, while the floaty silhouette keeps things roomy and comfortable. It's available in three colors in sizes XS–4X in petite, standard and tall sizing, though it's flying off the shelves, so you'll need to act fast if you want to snag one.
