Comfortable Fall Clothes That Feel Like a Warm Hug

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

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

With October being the month we finally accept that fall has, indeed, arrived, our must haves gear towards the warm and cosy side. With that in mind, we decided to flesh out a list of items we're loving because they're well-made, feel luxe from a textural standpoint, and are comfortable enough to lounge (or go out) in. Our curated shopping picks that "feel like a warm hug" include everything from a delicious and stylish looking spa day candle to a satin and lace nightgown-turned-slip dress.

Of course, there are the obvious basics here, too — sherpas, slippers, and sweats — but you might also discover a few re-interpretations of what a warm hug can be. Hence, the newspaper trousers from Holiday The Label that remind me of holidays with my family all because of the print, or Shelcy's covetable Jacquemus knit dress, which is formfitting and incredibly sexy and strappy at first glance. Read on to scope out what we found and simply can't resist as we say goodbye to summer.

The Arrivals Kala III Jacket

"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 colour is so pretty and unlike any other outerwear I have for fall. The cropped, oversize fit just feels so cosy, not to mention flattering." — Yerin Kim, associate editor, Trending and Viral Features

Everlane The Cashmere Polo

"I've been digging collared silhouettes lately, and Everlane's 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 colour . . ." — Victoria Messina, editor, Trending and Viral Features

Mala Spa Day Candle

"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

Alo Sherpa Trench

"I'm all about rocking neutral tones in the cooler months, and Alo's 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 cosy. 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 assuageing all my fears of potential stains!" — Perri Konecky, senior editor, Trending and Viral Features

Brother Vellies Cloud Sock

"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

Knitted Velour Headband

"It's usually the first super chilly week of fall when I realise 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

I love their distinct look which is enhanced by the dramatic chain embellishment and cosy 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
