Wrapped in Seasonal Style
Fall is a feeling, and you know it when you see it. The first morning you need a sweater. The sound of leaves underfoot. A cup of something warm in your hand and the excuse to cozy up your home and wardrobe.
The best fall moments are the ones filled with texture. Chunky knits, worn-in denim, soft flannel, and buttery leather are more than materials. They’re the layers that shape your season, inside and out. Whether you’re updating your closet, getting the kids (or yourself) ready for back to school, refreshing your space for fall, or prepping for Thanksgiving traditions, we’ve pulled together this year’s coziest trends to help you settle into the season.
Woven Into Fall: Chunky Knits & Soft Layers
When it comes to fall fashion, texture is everything. Chunky cable knits, brushed fleece, and oversized scarves instantly bring that cozy, layered look to life. This year, think oversized silhouettes, natural tones like oatmeal and rust, and tactile patterns that feel as warm as they look.
Snag an oversized sweater, perfect for throwing over leggings or pairing with high-waisted denim. Wrap up in a plaid blanket scarf or browse Marshalls for soft layering pieces in fall palettes that bring comfort with every wear.
Even loungewear is getting a fall refresh. Look for textured jogger sets in waffle knit or soft velour from Warehouse One or Bluenotes. Whether you’re on the move or curled up on the couch, these pieces are made for moments that feel just right.
Denim Days: Classic, Comfortable, and Totally Fall
Denim is having a serious moment, and we’re not mad about it. This fall’s take on the timeless staple leans into relaxed fits, wide legs, and vintage washes that feel effortless and cool. Think 90s-inspired baggy jeans, cargo-style denim, or dark indigo flares that work for school drop-offs to weekend coffee dates with friends.
Pair a slouchy denim jacket with a cozy hoodie underneath for laid-back layers, or swap your standard skinnies for a pair of slouchy boyfriend jeans from Boathouse. Want something different? Look for denim skirts, maxi or mini with tights or overalls for a fun throwback vibe that layers perfectly with turtlenecks and boots.
Denim also plays into back-to-school style for all ages. Check out Carter’s, Walmart and Marshalls for kids’ jeans built to last through fall adventures.
Leather Weather: Structured Staples With Edge
Nothing says “I’ve got fall figured out” quite like a great leather piece. Whether real or faux, leather adds instant polish to your wardrobe. It’s sleek, modern, and surprisingly versatile.
Pair your faux leather leggings with a longline knit or blazer. A bomber-leather jacket brings edge to soft textures and works just as well over a dress as it does with denim. Look for structured leather backpacks for back-to-school. Kick off the Crocs and pull on a statement boot from The Shoe Co., SoftMoc, or Walk In Comfort. Currently obsessing over the Frye leather boots from The Shoe Co.
Home Textures: Fall From the Inside Out
Fall isn’t just something you wear. It’s something you live in. This season is all about adding warmth and charm to your home, one layer at a time.
Start with cozy throw blankets and knit cushions from QE Home or Walmart in rich tones like cinnamon, sage, and mustard. And don’t forget to light a woodsy or spiced candle from Nezza Naturals or Shoppers Drug Mart to round out the cozy vibe.
If you’re hosting Thanksgiving, small touches go a long way. Complete your table decor with leather placemats, ceramic serving dishes, or cute woven textured pumpkins from Canadian Tire to make your table feel warm and festive.
Cozy Is a Feeling, and It Starts Here
This is the season for layers. Not just in what you wear, but in how you live. It’s a time to nest, to gather, to sip and savour. And with every fall texture, from cable knits to soft denim and warm home décor, you’re adding one more layer to your own Fall Filled Moments.
Whether you’re updating your routine or heading back to class, you’ll find everything you need.
