Temperatures are dropping, leaves are falling and flannels are once again becoming a staple in everyone's wardrobe. Whether you're summiting mountains, strolling city streets or chilling at home, we have compiled the ultimate guide to making this fall a cozy one! 

Staying Cozy at Home

The first step to having a cozy fall is filling your home with scents and items that make you feel the most comfortable. Add warmth and embrace the change in seasons by adding these fall essentials to your home! 

Candles: Candles are a great 2-in-1 for creating a cozy environment, providing a soft warm glow to a room and transforming any space with the scents of the season! We recommend opting for warm scents such as the Birchwood Pine + Blue Winter Sky or the Black Cedarwood & Juniper + Orange Patchouli from Rare Candles! $1 from every purchase is donated to World Wildlife Fund.

Blankets: Blankets serve both as a way to visually and literally keep you and your space cozy! The right blanket can serve as both decor draped over the arm of a couch or as a way to keep you warm on a chilly day. We recommend the Filson Mackinaw Blanket for those who want a heavier blanket or the Filson Fire Mountain Blanket for those who want something a little lighter!

Layering Up for Sweater Weather

The ultimate way to stay warm this fall is with the right gear. A cozy flannel or sweater makes a huge difference in your day-to-day comfort as the temperatures begin to drop! The right gear needs to be the right weight and material to equip you to handle any weather this season may bring!

Flannels: Flannels are a necessity during this time of year and a staple in anyone's wardrobe. From heavy wool to lightweight cotton, there is plenty of variety to choose from when it comes to picking the right flannel for you! For something extra cozy and guaranteed to keep you warm, we recommend the Hooke Canadian Insulated Shirt or the Filson Wool Jac shirt. For a lighter flannel for those warmer autumn days we recommend the Filson Alaskan Guide Shirt or the Patagonia Fjord Flannel Shirt.

Sweaters: Arguably the best way to get cozy is with a warm sweater or hoody! Whether taking a stroll with your pup on a crisp autumn morning or curling up on the couch with a good book, our Patagonia Daily Hoody Sweatshirt has you covered.

For a versatile fall favourite that can be styled up for a family dinner or will keep you cozy while you are out on the water we recommend the Hooke Fisherman Sweater.

Cozy Fall Tunes

Music is a must for setting the mood and getting yourself into a cozy state of mind! Listening to your favourite music is a great way to prepare yourself for facing the cold or to unwind and relax. Check out our cozy Fall playlist on Spotify and jam out to our team's favourite fall tunes! 
 

The Flavours of Fall

Food is the passageway to the heart and also to staying cozy. One of the best things about this time of year is the flavours of fall, from pumpkin spice to apple pie!

Coffee: A warm drink is one of the first things we think of when it comes to being cozy. Adding the flavours of fall to your coffee is a great way to embrace the season and get yourself in the mood. Stop by your local coffee shop and see what they have to offer or add a splash of spice to your homemade brew. We recommend pumpkin spice, hazelnut, maple or cinnamon. 

For those looking to enjoy some fall adventures like camping or hiking, we recommend Flash Fuel from our friends at Canadian Heritage Roasting Co (CHRC). Flash Fuel is perfect for camping, taking on the road or keeping your warm on your next hike. Stay fuelled up and cozy by heading to your local Elements Outfitters to pick up a pack.

Fall Cuisine: One of the best parts of autumn is baked goods, homemade soups and fall produce. Adding fall spices like sage, rosemary, cinnamon and brown sugar is the perfect way to elevate any fall dish. Think decadent indulgence! Some of our favourite fall dishes include a brown butter and sage butternut squash ravioli, warm apple and rhubarb crisp and pumpkin coffee cake.

Enjoying the Outdoors

Fall is the most beautiful time of year, what better way to get cozy than going outdoors and experiencing all the season has to offer? Now that you are equipped with everything you need to know to keep yourself cozy, it's time to put it to use!

Picnic: Visit a local park or take a hike and have a picnic! With the hustle of everyday life it can be easy to miss all the beauty nature has to offer during this season. Take some time to sit outside, enjoy a nice meal and soak in the scenery! We recommend using the Hooke Canadian Outdoor Blanket to stay cozy on your picnic.
