Fall is here, and with it comes the unpredictable weather, the existential dread of shorter days, and the constant battle to keep warm without looking like a walking duvet. The only thing standing between you and total seasonal confusion is your cool weather style. Lucky for you, Threadless has all the essentials you need to face autumn’s ups and downs while maintaining your dignity (and body heat). Let’s dive into the must-have items that’ll keep you cozy, comfortable, and maybe even a little bit smug.
Beanies trap heat and keep your ears toasty when the wind starts to bite.

In fact, they do more than just keep your head warm—they hide your secrets. Overslept? Beanie. Bad hair day? Beanie. Need to add a touch of “I don’t care, but I care just enough”? Beanie. With cuffed or uncuffed options, there’s one for every mood, whether you’re going for “skater who skipped class” or “artist who’s probably got deep thoughts.”
Scarves are the perfect finishing touch to any outfit, adding that “I’ve got this” vibe.

Scarves are the epitome of “fashion meets function.” Need to keep your neck warm? Done. Want to add a splash of color? Easy. Desperately wish you could curl up into a ball and nap mid-commute? Fold that scarf into a makeshift pillow and dream away. This simple strip of fabric offers endless possibilities, from looking effortlessly chic to hiding the fact that you’re secretly shivering.
Jackets are for when fall can’t make up its damn mind.

They’re here to match whatever fall throws at you. Cold, windy, drizzling? No problem. These lightweight heroes come in bomber, windbreaker, and coach’s styles, perfect for layering over whatever questionable outfit choice you made in the dark. It’s style that says, “I’m prepared for anything,” even if you’re really just trying to protect yourself from the chilly betrayal of a surprise autumn breeze.
Fleece apparel is your answer when the world feels too cold and so does your heart.

Some days call for fleece. You know the ones—those gloomy, bone-chilling fall days when all you want is to wrap yourself in something soft and never leave the house. Whether you’re a fan of pullover hoodies, zip-ups, or a good old-fashioned crewneck, fleece is the material that wraps you up in warmth and whispers, “It’s okay, you’re doing great.”
Longsleeves are for when you’re not ready to let go of summer.

They’re there for you when it’s too chilly for short sleeves but not quite cold enough for a full-blown sweater. They’re the perfect middle ground—light enough to layer, substantial enough to stand alone. Wear them under jackets, hoodies, or just roll up the sleeves and pretend you’re ready to fix something (or someone).
Travel mugs keep your hands toasty and give you something to cling to when the day gets rough.

Listen, you’re not facing fall without a hot beverage in hand. That’s just a fact. Whether you’re a coffee purist, a tea connoisseur, or someone who just pretends their travel mug holds something socially acceptable, this is one accessory you can’t skip. A good travel mug is as essential to your cool weather style as your jacket—and arguably more important. Not to mention, they provide a convenient excuse to avoid conversations: “Sorry, can’t talk, gotta sip.”
Weekender bags adds that extra touch of “I might run away, but I’ll look good doing it.”

Weekender bags are the ultimate symbol of freedom—or at least the illusion of it. Big enough to pack for a spontaneous trip, but small enough to pass as your regular bag when all you’re really doing is hauling dirty laundry to Mom’s. The perfect addition to your cool weather style, these bags are here for your next escape, whether that’s a weekend away or just a long overdue “me day.”
Buttons are the easiest way to add some character to your fall fit.

Buttons are like tiny billboards for your personality—except you can change them whenever you want. Slap them on your jacket, your bag, or anything that could use a little more “you.” Unlike tattoos or permanent decisions (we don’t talk about those), buttons let you say something bold without the commitment.
Classic tees are your first layer of defense.

Classic tees are more than just a fall staple—they’re the backbone of your cool weather style. Heavier than regular tees, these shirts are built for layering. Perfect for wearing under jackets, hoodies, or a long sleeve, Classic tees offer that extra bit of warmth without the bulk. Plus, they look great solo if the fall gods decide to bless you with a warmer-than-expected day.
Fall is unpredictable, but your cool weather style doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re stocking up on beanies to hide your hair, layering fleece for maximum comfort, or gearing up with a windbreaker to fend off fall’s mood swings, Threadless has everything you need to stay warm and stylish. So go ahead, embrace the layers, and tackle fall like you know exactly what you’re doing. (We won’t tell anyone otherwise.)
