This Cozy Amazon Set Is Viral on TikTok - and on Sale For $35

Sometimes when products skyrocket in popularity on social media, I steer clear of them. I try to resist the urge to buy into trends just because everyone else is doing so (with a few exceptions, like Kim Kardashian's Skims and JW Pei handbags). This was precisely the scenario with the Amazon fashion favorite Tanming Sweater Set ($35-$40, originally $43), which has consistently shown up on my TikTok feed since 2022. Given my work-from-home lifestyle and penchant for comfy loungewear that can transition into "real" clothing, it would have been completely rational for me to try it out when I first saw it. However, I held my ground and resisted until just recently. Now that the frenzy has subsided a bit, I felt validated in placing it in my shopping cart. And the thing is, I've come to the realization that I should have embraced it much earlier.

Ahead, I dive into what I love about it and why you might need to scoop it up while it's discounted.

What I Love About the Tanming Sweater Set

What I love about this sweater set is that it looks a hell of a lot more polished than my go-to combination of a mismatched sweatshirt and sweatpants or activewear leggings and an oversize crewneck - while feeling just as comfortable on. Its versatility ensures I can confidently wear it during work meetings without the nagging sense that I should have thrown on something nicer. The price is hard to beat, too. It's one of my pet peeves when the top and bottom of a two-piece set have to be bought separately. The fact that both pieces together cost under $40 right now is a win, to say the least.

If given the chance for a do-over with this sweater set, I'd choose the black version (it comes in nine colors). Given my tendency for spills and stains, coupled with my limited supply of beige-colored underwear (more on that shortly), choosing the black option would have been a more practical investment. However, I have no regrets about my initial purchase. The fabric strikes a perfect balance, being soft yet not overly so to tempt me into a day of couch lounging instead of productivity. Plus, it is a compliment magnet in every sense and offers a mindlessly chic choice for my morning routine.

What's Worth Noting About the Tanming Sweater Set

One of the most important things worth noting about this sweater set is that the fabric (70 percent viscose and 30 percent nylon) isn't super thick. In all honesty, the material is heftier than I imagined, so much so that it is not see-through in the least when I wear skin-toned undergarments. However, in my experience, I found it to be see-through when I wore it with a dark-colored bra and underwear.

Another factor to take into account is that the brand recommends handwashing exclusively. In the reviews, several buyers who tossed it in the wash observed the waistband becoming twisted, as stated by a reviewer who "tried for over an hour" with no success in untwisting it. This is likely the reason why the brand cautions against machine-washing it, although a few shoppers have reported success despite the risk.

Lastly, the pant length may be a point of contention. As someone who ordered a size medium (I'm 5'9", for context), I found the pants to be a bit short. Conversely, some shorter reviewers found them too long. A five-star reviewer described them as "adorable" but "a tad long," suggesting they fold the waist for a better fit. (The brand notes that the pants are 39.37 inches, with an inseam of 26.77 inches, in case those precise measurements may help in your decision.)

Who Is the Tanming Sweater Set Best For?

This sweater set is best for those looking for affordable coordinating loungewear staples that look put-together and feel as comfortable as sweats. Whether you're relaxing at home or gearing up for a long flight, it strikes the perfect balance of comfort and style.

Additional Details About the Tanming Sweater Set

  • The Tanming Sweater Set comes in sizes XS-XL.
  • To keep it in good shape, the brand recommends machine-washing it in cold water on a gentle cycle or handwashing.
  • It's available via Amazon Prime for one-day shipping.

Diaper Shorts Are Back - How to Shop the Controversial TikTok Trend

Of all the street style trends to dominate our FYP and social media feeds in recent years, bloomer shorts seems to be the most bizarre (and ironically one of our top favorites) yet. And who do we have to thank for it? TikTok, of course. In a single scroll on the popular app, you've probably come across the piece multiple times, from those viral Miu Miu briefs to Aritzia's more affordable offerings. Slightly more flirty and risqué than the stomach pudge dress or the fisherman aesthetic , bloomer shorts (aka "diaper shorts") have officially made it to the top of the sartorial food chain. What Are Bloomer Shorts? While the idea of bloomer shorts may seem new or daunting at first, they're far from groundbreaking. Similarly to most trends, the good ol' "everything is new again" concept applies here, as the fad dates back to 1850 when the silhouette was invented as a practical solution for women's health and comfort - eventually grabbing the atten...

Does Uniqlo Heattech Really Keep You Warm? An Editor Investigates

I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it's 70 degrees or below 17, you're bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn't exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie's younger brother from "A Christmas Story" - think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I'm hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn't until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist. Uniqlo's Heattech line is arguably one of the brand's most popular collections. Loved by shoppers for its wide variety of styles, the capsule boasts warm, insulated pieces that are designed to replicate the effectiveness of a thermal layer without the...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
