27 Fall Must Haves That Look Super Luxe and Feel Like a Warm Hug

"I don't know what took me so long, but I finally clicked 'purchase' on these Shearling-Lined Birkenstocks ($150) that have been hanging out in my cart, and my feet have never been so happy to make the switch to fall." — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion

"I love a fall wardrobe with plenty of color to prevent any sort of sudden sadness when the temperature drops. The Donni Vintage Fleece Tri-Crew Sweatshirt ($139) gives me three new earth tones to mix and match with." — Sarah Wasilak, senior editor, Fashion

"This A.L.C. Tamara Rib Knit Dress ($595) is so perfect for fall, and I like that it skims the body but isn't tight. It also comes with matching pants ($395) that can be worn underneath — just saying." — Dana Avidan Cohn, executive style director

"Shearling is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of fabrics that feel like warm hugs, and I'm obsessed with The Arrivals Kala III Jacket ($990). The sage-green color is so pretty and unlike any other outerwear I have for fall. The cropped, oversize fit just feels so cozy, not to mention flattering." — Yerin Kim, associate editor, Trending and Viral Features

"I've been digging collared silhouettes lately, and this Everlane Cashmere Polo ($135) practically jumped out and said 'Buy me!' as I was browsing through the website's new arrivals. I can see myself either wearing it with lounge shorts and fuzzy socks to stay comfy while working from home or dressing it up tucked into a pair of skinny jeans over the weekend for dinner plans. Now, if only I could decide on just one color . . . " — Victoria Messina, editor, Trending and Viral Features

"I'm obsessed with Mala's incredible scents but love Spa Day ($35) — a blend of lemongrass and jasmine musk — in particular. Of course, it relaxes me like nothing else, especially when I have a book on hand, but so does the fact that a tree is planted with every candle purchased." — SW

"I'm all about rocking neutral tones in the cooler months, and the Alo Sherpa Trench ($298) is the missing piece to tie all of my fall looks together. The material is so fluffy and comfortable, so if you see me on the streets of Manhattan giving myself a big hug while draped in this coat, please don't judge — it's just that cozy. Whether I'm tossing it over leggings and a tank before a workout or pairing it with joggers and booties for a night out, this versatile coat is it. While I really can't go wrong with any of the four shades (ivory, dusty pink, camel, or black), there's something about ivory that speaks to me. Bonus points for it being machine washable and assuaging all my fears of potential stains!" — Perri Konecky, senior editor, Trending and Viral Features

"I don't even need to tell you that the Brother Vellies Cloud Sock ($35) is more comfortable than anything already in your underwear drawer. One look, and you'll know it's true. With 17 spectacular colorways to choose from, it's pretty impossible to pass on these. But if you're having trouble deciding on a shade, the lavender pair helps fund the brand's mask-making and food-distribution initiative in Kenya." — SW

"Solid & Striped launched ready-to-wear with its new Resort collection, and it's safe to say I'll no longer be needing another scarf for as long as I live. The Chunky Scarf ($98) comes in the loveliest shades of crimson and orchid, and you can mix and match it with a lot of the other cozy ribbed pieces in the range." — SW

"There are so many clogs out right now from luxury brands, and styled correctly, they are such a chic alternative to a classic fall boot. I love these Ancient Greek Platform Clogs ($490) with a cozy knit sock, straight leg denim, and an oversize blazer." — DAC

"I'm always looking for a cute going-out top that can get me through fall and winter. The Wilfred Tuscany Sweater ($98) is my pick this season. Its flattering shape is easy to pair with just about anything, and it still has a sexy look, with a sweater feel. How can you go wrong?" — Krista Jones, editor, Commerce

"I'd probably be so over sweatpants by now if not for these Agolde '90s Bow Leg Pin Tuck Sweats ($168). The intentionally exaggerated volume is a chic take on slouchy loungewear that looks far cooler but feels just as comfy." — HWM

"Adding a pop of color to my wardrobe always lifts my mood, and as much as I love the relaxing neutrals that flood the sidewalks in the fall, I love that this Madewell Space-Dye Button-Shoulder Pullover Sweater ($118) brings my tie-dye summer obsession straight into the next season. The colors make me smile, and the acrylic/wool/alpaca yarn is sure to keep me warm as the fall chill sets in." — Chanel Vargas, assistant editor, Trending and Viral Features

"It's usually the first super-chilly week of fall when I realize that my ears are freezing, but I still refuse to wear earmuffs because the California cold will surely let up soon. Then I go months with pink ears and regrets, but these cute Knitted Velour Headbands ($25) from Etsy look like the coziest solution to my fall woes. Handmade with itchy foreheads in mind, the headbands are soft to the touch and look chic enough to pair with any fall outfit." — CV

"LESET makes comfy go-to coordinates, and I'm particularly attracted to the yellow cashmere wool blend of the Zoe V Neck Polo ($300) and Zoe Tapered Jogger Pant ($280). This live-in look feels particularly attractive to me since the slacks are tapered, and at 5'1", it's always been a struggle of mine to find loungewear that isn't dragging on the ground." — SW

"Comfort and style are two words I go by when buying cold-weather pieces, so these JW Anderson Shearling Chain Loafers ($745) are currently speaking to me. I love their distinct look, which is enhanced by the dramatic chain embellishment and cozy shearling lining. It's quite a splurge, but they are also the types of shoes you'd get a lot of wear out of, season after season." — Shelcy Joseph, assistant editor, Commerce

"Fall in California can get chilly, but not so cold that I need to stock up on full-body trench coats. Casual yet cozy, this Good American Sherpa Denim Jacket ($185) provides just enough coverage to keep my top half warm, and the light wash makes it easy to pair with pretty much all of my fall looks. Plus, it has a hood!" — CV

"To me, the Holiday The Label Good News Kokomo Pant ($164) feels like a warm hug for more reasons than one. Not only is it decorated with positive headlines, but it also comes in a fit with give, and the palm trees and surf mentions remind me of a vacation under the sun — or South Carolina, where my family lives." — SW

"When it starts to get colder outside, I pretty much live in loungewear. Next up on my purchase list? This Tan Lines Valley Sweatshirt ($70) and Ventura Blvd Sweatshort ($60). The matching set is made from 100 percent cotton fleece, and I already know it's going to be my new work-from-home uniform." — Renee Rodriguez, contributor

"Papinelle's new silk PJs ($155) are part of a Karen Walker collab and covered in a signature garden print. They feel cozy and delicate all at once — the exact type of PJs I want to lounge around the house in when I'm feeling a bit lazy and the coffee hasn't quite kicked in." — SW

"I know fall usually makes us think of camels, khakis, and beiges, but I was drawn to this colorful Staud Hampton Sweater ($295) on Instagram and saved it immediately. I love the chunky, comfy fit and how it can easily be dressed up or down with the right pieces." — YK

"Somewhere between a dreamy nightgown and a gorgeous cocktail dress is this SIR. The Label Aries Cutout Dress ($450) that I plan to live in under blazers, coats, and cardigans for dinners out — and at home." — HWM

"This Victor Glemaud crop tank ($225) and the matching Victor Glemaud Sweatpants ($425) look so snuggly and would be great layering pieces for colder weather. I'm picturing the set paired with leather or suede!" — YK

"I just moved to New York, and everyone keeps telling me I need to prepare for the winter months, especially with a solid pair of boots. The Proenza Schouler Lug Sole Shearling Ankle Boots ($995) aren't just practical and cute, they also look like a total dream that'll keep my feet warm." — KJ

"Just looking at my phone with this Casetify Stretch Like a Cat Case ($55) will warm my heart. It reminds me of my most comfortable state – at home on my yoga mat with my cat." — SW

"Alex Mill makes the coziest button-up polos, like this Alex Mill Chris Polo Sweateter ($115). I like to layer them with a super-thin ribbed crewneck for the fall. It looks low-key but still stylish." — DAC

"With its body-hugging fit, architectural neckline, and refined fabric, this Jacquemus La Sierra Ribbed-Knit Off-The-Shoulder Midi Dress ($715) is not your average black knit dress, and it's currently HIGH on my wish list. It's fashion-forward yet still very wearable, and I especially love that you can wear it year-round." — SJ
