This Cozy $15 Sweatshirt Is 'Absolutely' an Alternative to Spanx's $128 Half-Zip That Was Featured by Oprah

If you’ve been following Oprah’s Favorite Things for a while, you may have seen Spanx’s ultra-cozy and cool AirEssentials loungewear set on multiple lists. Oprah described the pieces as being “soft as butter,” and a number of celebs like Kristen Bell and Gwyneth Paltrow have been spotted wearing them as well. Clearly, the AirEssentials set is amazing. But of course, since it’s Spanx, you’re guaranteed to spend more to get the quality you know and appreciate. Fortunately, we came across an alternative that’s way more affordable but offers a comparable look and feel. Best part, it’s on sale right now on Amazon for just $15!

When it comes to shopper reviews, a majority seem to have nothing but praise for the ANRABESS sweatshirt. As one wrote, “I love the appearance, comfort, color, fit and warmth — all much more than I would have expected for the price. I immediately ordered a second one. A sweatshirt but looks dressy! Told my daughter and she loves hers too.”

If you’re interested in snagging the apricot option, one reviewer who got it said it was a “very pretty color.” They wrote, “Very soft! Apricot is definitely a light peach (pic looks more creamy). Very pretty color. Absolutely a lookalike for Spanx’s popular sweats. Good fit.”

Last but not least, numerous reviewers raved over the coziness of the sweatshirt, with one writing, “It is as cozy feeling as it looks. The material is very smooth (so dog hair doesn’t stick to it like the cotton blend sweatshirts). It also is nice and thick, but very lightweight! I would agree with their sizing suggestion to size down if you are in between sizes … This is one of the better-quality sweatshirts I have ordered online. It just has a very attractive look to it, and it feels really good on my skin. Will be buying more of these in different colors!” We’re sure to do the same!

Keep in mind, this $15 sale price is an Amazon Limited Time Deal. If you’ve seen these types of deals before, you know once all the deals have been claimed, the price immediately goes back up. Right now, several colors have already sold past the 50% mark so we wouldn’t hesitate to shop!
