9 Items To Wear To Stay Cozy & Warm This Fall

by Dale Arden Chong

Now that we've officially moved on to post-summer mode, it's time to trade in those denim cutoffs and crop tops for the perfect fall loungewear to wear all day and all night. Whether you're having a nice Netflix & chill session or cozying up with a cup of tea and your favorite book, now's the time to start switching out your summer wardrobe for items to stay cozy in all fall long.

What's a girl got to do to stay comfy as the air turns crisp and the leaves start to fall? Throw your cares to the wind and stack on the layers, bundle up, or embrace anything related to sweaters and knits. After all, they don't call fall sweater weather, better weather for no reason, right? While some might say beauty is pain, style most certainly doesn't have to be. With the right pieces, your comfort doesn't have to be compromised one bit this season.

This fall you might want to take on the borrowed-from-the-boys trend with boxy silhouettes and layers, or you might want to dive into chunky knits and leggings uniform. Whatever your mood, I've got you covered for the top picks to stay stylish, warm, and comfortable this fall.

1. Sweater Pants

Everlane Lounge Sweater Pant, $78, everlane.com

Take it from Kendall Jenner, this trend is worth investing in. Stylish, simple, and comfortable — what could be more perfect on a cold fall night? Sweater pants are the ultimate solution to running errands, traveling, lounging — you name it.

2. Turtlenecks

J. Crew Tissue Turtleneck T-Shirt in Stripe, $39.50, jcrew.com

While you might have thought that turtlenecks were reserved for the '90s and Steve Jobs, think again. Turtlenecks are the ultimate layering piece for fall. Wear them under a sweater, under a dress or wear them on their own. There is nothing wrong with stocking up on these gems.

3. Boyfriend Jeans

ASOS Curve Brady Boyfriend Patched Denim Jeans, $56.43, asos.com

While boyfriend jeans may not exactly be considered "loungewear," they're definitely an extremely comfortable alternative to the skinny jean. This denim style allows room to move and breath while also staying cool and on trend for this fall.

4. Graphic T-Shirts

Junk Food The Who Tour Tee, $45, urbanoutfitters.com

Nothing says cool and comfy like a soft, graphic t-shirt.

5. Blanket Scarves

Everyone has that office or classroom that doubles as an ice box. So a scarf that doubles as a blanket? Heck yes.

6. Sweater Dresses

Forever 21 Plus Size Varsity-Striped Sweater Dress, $15.99, forever21.com

The sweater dress is cute, warm, and even better, an easy piece to slip on in a quick situation. A sweater dress is the perfect piece for fall to stay warm and cozy while staying put-together in a simple swoop.

7. Cozy Socks

Free People Staycation Pom Pom Sock, $16, freepeople.com

Warm socks might seem like a no-brainer when the weather's getting colder, but the best part about a good pair of socks is not only that you can never have too many, but also that they're an easy, small item that you can have a ton of fun with.

8. Berets

Soiya & Kyo Bayley Hat, $45, shopbop.com

Haven't you heard? Berets are back! Make sure to grab your own to keep your head and ears warm as the weather gets cooler.
