With Halloween knocking, 2022 has officially reached peak autumn. The air is crisp, the leaves are crunchy and the knits are out. And while we all love to have a little moan about the weather, the truth is, I sort of love autumn and all that comes with it—most notably snuggling up in front of Netflix and lighting a cosy candle.

Yep, I revel in the self-care and personal indulgence that take place during the short period of time between now and the moment I have to start thinking seriously about Christmas shopping. Instead of spending my money on going-out makeup and evening perfumes, I like to use this time to invest in my own headspace by treating myself to a particularly cosy candle—the sort that makes you want to snuggle up in a blanket and stay indoors forever. And after liaising with team Who What Wear over the matter, I can confirm I am not alone, with many of my fellow editors agreeing that this time of year calls for a cosy candle or two. If you can relate even a little bit, keep scrolling for the 15 best cosy candles that come Who What Wear approved.
