Universal Thread Slouchy Shoulder Bag

The right accessories pull an outfit together, and this oversized shoulder bag is the ideal pick for fall. It’s available in faux suede and leather options, which add texture to your look, and the neutral colors available — black, cream, and burgundy — make it easy to match with virtually anything in your closet. Plus, shoppers say it looks just like the $495 Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag, but is “so much cuter” and costs 92 percent less. 

Universal Thread Button-Down Cardigan

A cozy cardigan is a fall wardrobe staple, and this option from Universal Thread is a stylish choice, whether you need to replace a worn-out go-to or add another to your rotation. It’s made of 100 percent cotton, and the crew neckline and buttons deliver a polished look. The versatile sweater is great for layering, one reviewer said, adding that it feels “soft” and “lightweight.” 

A New Day Button Sweater Vest 

This sweater vest is a great in-between piece for transitioning to fall — it’s substantial enough to keep you warm without being too hot. Plus, you can wear it underneath a long-sleeve shirt during colder months. The V-neckline and buttons give it a sophisticated yet relaxed feel. Pair this with a pair of wide-leg jeans and enjoy the “deliciously soft” fabric, as one reviewer put it.  

Universal Thread Knit Midi A-Line Dress

If you’re searching for an easy grab-and-go option for days when you want to look effortlessly put together, this sweater dress is the answer. The simple buttons and soft ribbed fabric make it comfortable for all-day wear, while the flattering cut works just as well for brunch as it does for date night. Customers said it runs small and recommend sizing up.
