As the days get shorter and the temperatures start to dip, our team can’t help but lean into all things cozy. From the softest long-sleeve tees and lived-in sweatpants to seasonal mugs that make every cup of coffee feel like a hug, this season is all about simple comforts. Of course, we’ve sprinkled in a few unexpected favorites too—like a red light therapy mask that makes self-care feel a little more high-tech. Consider this your invitation to slow down, snuggle up, and discover the cozy essentials we’re reaching for this fall and winter.
Here are our picks for What We…: Cozy Edition, from what we wear to what we use at home. Here’s to easy mornings, candlelit evenings, and the cozy moments in between!
What We Wear
AYR The Early Mornings Tee
Meet your new throw-on-and-go tee for fall and winter. It’s truly the perfect weight: heavier than a t-shirt but lighter than a sweatshirt. With a longer hem and extra length in the sleeves, you’ll immediately understand why it’s a cult classic. We recommend sizing down a full size — it’s still plenty oversized!
AYR The Bodega Run Sweatpants
Sometimes, you just can’t beat a pair of traditional gray cotton sweatpants. With a cotton drawcord and easy pockets, this pair is ideal for morning drop-off or laid-back nights at home. Pair it with the coordinating The BFF Sweatshirt or one of your The Early Mornings Tee.
Omnilux Contour Face Mask
It’s not the first time we’ve highlighted this at-home red light therapy mask — and it won’t be the last. As your skin adjusts to the cooler temperatures and running furnaces, chances are, it needs a little extra love. This mask truly does it all in just 10 minutes per day, with benefits like reduced fine lines and wrinkles, reduced redness, and increased collagen production. Plus, it’s easy to wear as you tackle chores around the house, dive into a new book, or tune into a favorite show.
What We Use at Home
Seasonal Coffee Mugs
There’s something so rewarding about grabbing a special mug from your cabinet to fill with your morning coffee or afternoon hot cocoa. Below, we’ve pulled together a list of some of our favorite finds:
- Leaning into all things pumpkin spice
- Halloween vibes but make it modern
- If you’re already dreaming of a winter wonderland
- The most darling plaid for the coziest months
- A minimal but feminine design in multiple colorways
The Best Blanket
You don’t know cozy until you’ve snuggled up with a Lola Blanket. Their website says it best with the tagline “life-changing softness.” Made with faux fur (no shedding), four-way therapeutic stretch, and double-sided softness, it instantly relaxes you. Our favorite part? Lola Blankets created Blankets for the Brave, a program that gifts blankets to the Huntsman Cancer Institute and women living with stage four breast cancer — making this month (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) the perfect time to stock up or jumpstart your holiday shopping!
Pumpkin Candles
Is it even October if you haven’t lit a pumpkin candle yet? Of course, we had to round-up some of our favorites. To kick things off, the Pumpkin Latte candle from Uncommon James has earned a permanent spot in our rotation. With hints of pumpkin, cinnamon, smoky clove, and nutmeg, it perfectly balances sweetness and spice, filling a long work day with a little moment of joy. For a lower price point, grab these scalloped ceramic jar candles from Target. We personally love the Vanilla Pumpkin and Pumpkin Bourbon scents. Finally, the Pumpkin Chai candle from NEST is a forever favorite that encapsulates everything we love about this season.
At the end of the day, cozy looks different for everyone. Maybe it’s slipping into your favorite sweats, lighting a pumpkin candle, or pouring that second cup of coffee into a seasonal mug. Whatever your version of comfort is, we hope our team’s favorites inspire you to create your own little rituals of warmth.
