There’s no doubt that this year—more than any other—has us craving comfort in our sartorial choices. And as the temps drop and we enter into the cooler season, it’s safe to say that any item that screams "cozy” is shooting up to the top of our shopping wish list.
Comfort, of course, doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice on style. If you’re looking to stay altogether on trend this season—yet still feel super comfortable—we’ve rounded nine ideal items that will tick both of the aforementioned boxes. From trending knit sweater vests to comfy flat boots and blanket-style capes, scroll below for the full rundown of comfy-meets-cool items that fashion girls are loving, wearing, and Instagramming right now.
Sweater Vests
Whether you opt for a basic neutral hue or a cool '70s print, knit sweater vests are the fashion-girl It item of the season. Style it over a long sleeve tee, a relaxed button-down, or a vintage-inspired blouse for a cool-meets-cozy look.

Flat Pull-On Boots
Flat pull-on boots with comfy, chunky soles are trending hard this season—and we couldn't be happier. They add a cool-girl edge to every look—and are as comfortable and practical as they are stylish.
