Get Comfortable and Cozy for Fall Travel with These Chic Looks
It’s snuggle season, and we have some fab Fall fashion finds that should find a permanent place in your wardrobe and your next packed backpack or suitcase.
When the weather starts to get crisp, it’s time to pack away the linen and the sandals and break out items for cooler weather. We have found some of our preferred wearable brands for Autumn that will make you look good and feel comfy while you travel or relax at home on a staycation.
Bad Birdie
Why do golfers always look so smart and comfy? The practicality and style of modern golf apparel are the result of centuries of evolution, blending the sport’s formal heritage with modern textile technology. The development of specialized fabrics and designs that facilitate comfort and a full range of motion enables today’s golfers to perform at their best, both on and off the course, while looking polished. Now, even if you don’t play golf, we’ve decided that golfwear might just be the perfect sub for travel duds. Bad Birdie, a premium modern golfwear apparel brand, offers some fun, cozy, and comfortable options that would make great fits for stylish travel wear.
Jason Richardson, the founder and CEO of Bad Birdie, started the golf apparel brand in 2017 as a side hustle out of his Los Angeles apartment. He wanted to make golf apparel because he believed the sport should be fun, and he didn’t like how serious and exclusive it could be. Richardson’s goal for Bad Birdie is to target a new generation of golfers who want to have fun while still playing well. The brand caught our eye because what works well for golf also works well for travel, offering ease of movement, flattering silhouette, and almost weightless, wrinkle-free fabrics.
The Bad Birdie Hybrid Jacket is a men’s outerwear essential. Lightweight layering with a durable water-repellent coating and a soft brushed interior for extra warmth, this is a light, temperature-regulating item designed for comfort and style. It features an elastic back hem, open hand pockets, a silicone Bad Birdie patch, and a back locker loop with the Birdie logo. Available in Black or Dusk Navy, it’s perfect for any gender.
We also love the Bad Birdie Commuter Pant in Navy or Grey. These are gorgeous, versatile, slim-fit pants, somewhere in between khakis, jeans, and trousers, but without the bulk and hard seams. They are stretchy, wrinkle-free, and can transition from the golf course to the office to the evening without anyone noticing you haven’t changed. And that makes them a travel essential.
HEYDUDE
We are always looking for cute, durable, unisex-looking shoes that are easy to put on and take off for travel, and yet sturdy enough for walking and exploring a new destination. Oh, and did we mention they must be light enough to pack easily, even in carry-on? We’re thrilled that we discovered HEYDUDE! This brand makes comfy, stylish shoes that are perfect for in-between seasons like Fall and Spring. Soft, easy to slip on and off at a moment’s notice, and lightweight, our HEYDUDE Fall favorites for women and men include a vast range of choices, but we’ve narrowed it down to two of our absolute faves.
The Women’s Eloise Recycled Leather Ankle Boot and the Women’s Austin Lift Platform Mule. The first is snug as a bug for walking and exploring new places. The second is the greatest for getting on a plane and kicking your shoes off to relax. The Austin Lift is currently going viral, and Sydney Sweeney is a big fan of this trending platform mule. Numerous celebrities are fans of platform mules, wearing them for both formal occasions and casual outings—from Cate Blanchett to Harry Styles. The style has seen a resurgence since the early 2020s, with stars embracing both retro-inspired designs and modern, architectural versions with their chunky silhouettes. In our opinion, HEYDUDE has perfected this style at an affordable price tag, too. These are quality shoes, designed to support your feet. The look is perfect for snuggle season.
And for the actual dudes among us, from September 23–30, you can enjoy 15% off HEYDUDE’s best-selling men’s styles on Amazon. These are the products that HEYDUDE has selected for their “Top Picks for Him: Comfort That Can’t Be Beat” Creator Connections Campaign. See the deals at this link!

CozyThrow
You know the feeling: the weather is suddenly colder and you’re looking for comfort. A sweater, a blanket, a throw, some woolly socks. It’s time to get comfy and watch some Netflix. Or light the season’s first bonfire and linger outside. Maybe you’ve just returned from a long trip. You’re jetlagged or have a cold. Maybe you’ve rented an Airbnb in the woods or by the lake, and you plan on a bit of stargazing. And maybe you’re staying in, planning a staycation because it’s crazy out there! Regardless of the scenario, seasonal changes and external stressors tend to trigger sensory needs. Disregard all the synthetic throws that flood the market in Fall, and give that old, dusty blanket the heave-ho. We have something much better for you!
Sensory Product Design, led by CEO and inventor Liz Holland, has answered your blanky cravings with her Cozy💤™ line. Holland answered her own question: “Wouldn’t it be helpful to have a physical product that consistently lowers your nervous system?” Her personal journey with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) inspired the CozyThrow💤™, which is the first of its kind to receive a Utility Patent.
This collection of luxury blankets is designed for stylish and practical warmth, and specifically caters to individuals with sensory sensitivities who want to cocoon themselves and take some time out. The CozyThrow💤™ (cozy throw-zees) and the child-sized CozyCo💤™ (pron. cozy co-zees) help you deal with post-travel blues, anxiety, and tantrums (adult or otherwise). At the innovative core of CozyThrow💤™ is the way it swaddles the wearer in plush, tactile fabric and protects their extremities. Its unique design includes hand pockets with finger and thumb openings, allowing users to maintain warmth while engaging in everyday activities such as holding a cup, reading, scrolling, playing with the remote, and eating popcorn.
The “swaddle” feature is particularly beneficial for individuals with a strained nervous system and sensory sensitivities. The CozyThrow💤™ is a self-care item that comes in four soothing colors—Midnight, Coral, Sage, and Plum—and looks good when not in use. Made from dual-sided luxury, machine-washable fabrics, the CozyThrow💤™ and CozyCo💤™ provide a sensory-rich experience while helping users to regulate body temperature. The hand and foot pockets can be used for additional warmth and comfort. Fold it flat for easy storage or drape it over a chair or sofa, as you would a regular throw.
This is a premium, generous-sized throw that feels just right. It’s the only throw blanket that features hand pockets with finger and thumb openings, as well as feet pockets that flare around the ankle, allowing you to stand and walk if you need to get up and grab something. A great gift idea—for yourself, or for someone you want to protect and pamper.
Little Beast
Every doggie should have its day, even while traveling. Don’t leave your four-legged family out of your style choice for snuggle season. Reward and protect them with a Little Beast onesie.
Little Beast was founded by a trio of hardworking and artistic friends, Jisu, Ryeon, and Lys, in New York City, in an 800-square-foot apartment, who sought to address the poor quality and design of many pet accessories. After mixed success, they branched into originally designed pet apparel. After all, Jisu and Lys were both from art backgrounds and worked for the world-renowned Takashi Murakami. That really got Little Beast off the ground with a successful launch of our first collection.
This is the most chic, evocative, and dare we say romantic travel-inspired streetwear for your pet that we have ever seen. Can you imagine walking your pooch through the streets of Paris and getting admiring looks or perhaps striking up a conversation with a gorgeous Parisian? Choose from the World’s Your Oyster Shirt for warmer weather, and as it gets colder, we like the option of the Café in Paris Onesie, a really cute onesie with a turtleneck, sleeves, and legs. Check out all the onesies here. Shop the entire Little Beast store here.
