25 Cozy Items on My Fall Trip Packing List—Including Barn Coats and Boxer Shorts
On the hierarchy of vacations, fall retreats are criminally underrated. European summers rank high and ski chalets in the winter are a close second, but we need to give some love to our Autumn adventures. I'm ready to leave summer trips in the past and plan a fall getaway filled with apple picking, wine tasting, and sitting by a bonfire. I've already got my packing list sorted—it consists of regenerative wool sets, barn coats, boxer shorts, Summer Fridays' latest lip balm, and a few books for good measure. So whether you're headed upstate, going somewhere remote, or just looking for some cozy fall items to add to your wardrobe, I've got you covered.
Here's the Packing List:
It's not a fall outfit without a tall pair of brown suede boots.
If you want to feel butter in fabric form, buy this thermal.
Plush Mary Janes just make sense for this time of year. I love the warmth and texture they add to an outfit.
This was the first coat that Eileen Fisher designed and it's a quintessential fall staple. It's made from 100% RWS-certified boiled wool with fiber that's helping to restore depleted grassland in Argentina through regenerative farming practices (which we love).
I love a wool-cashmere blend for its warmth and comfort. This is one of those cardigans you'll reach for time and again.
Go ahead, treat yourself to the full Eileen Fisher set.
These are essentially slippers you can wear outdoors while you're apple picking, wine tasting, or visiting a pumpkin patch.
Part three? Footwear that's cozy, but will still elevate your look.
Ever since Away launched its Softside Collection, the carry-on has been my go-to for smaller trips. It's lightweight enough to trek on the train with.
I always have a facial spray in tow when I'm on the go.
Summer Fridays' new Hot Cocoa flavor is so good you'll want to eat it.
The thing about me is if I'm headed upstate, I will be reading a murder mystery for the majority of the weekend.
Dry fall weather calls for a rich moisturizer that can stand up to the elements.
These rich, woody scents are so good that strangers will stop to ask what you're wearing.
