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:
One thing about Free People? It's going to nail a matching set every time.
It's not a fall outfit without a tall pair of brown suede boots.
Barn coats were made for fall vacations.
If you want to feel butter in fabric form, buy this thermal.
My ideal look for lounging by the fire.
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.
No autumn vacation is complete without a pair of plush socks.
These are essentially slippers you can wear outdoors while you're apple picking, wine tasting, or visiting a pumpkin patch.
Part one of your casual dinner look.
These signature Levi's are part two.
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.
Every trip needs a carryall bag. This one is mine.
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.
Another discounted page-turner you won't regret packing.
This 2-in-1 moisturizer will bring the glow to your makeup look.
Serum sticks are genius travel companions. No spills happening here.
