Cozy Season Dressing

This post is in partnership with Talbots.

This time of year there’s something deeply comforting about getting dressed in layers that feel as cozy as they look polished. Autumn style is all about balancing warmth and refinement—wrapping yourself in soft textures, rich neutrals, and pieces that make you feel put-together even on the chilliest days. Find my edit of favorites from Talbot's new collection below!

The Knit Top and Skirt Set
A matching knit set is the ultimate in cozy sophistication. With the ease of loungewear but the elegance of coordinated dressing, a knit top and skirt combination feels as comfortable as pajamas yet looks perfectly intentional. Whether you opt for matching separates or mix in a brushed cashmere boyfriend sweater with a solid skirt, this pairing flatters the figure while offering effortless versatility—pair it with riding boots for daytime fun or pointed toe boots and a long necklace for an evening out.

The Oversized Scarf
Few accessories capture autumn’s spirit like an oversized wool scarf. Choose one in a neutral tone or a rich cashmere plaid, and let it drape naturally over your shoulders or looped snugly around your neck. Beyond adding warmth, a generous scarf brings beautiful texture and movement to your outfit—transforming even simple basics into something cozy and layered.

The Sherpa Teddy Coat
A sherpa teddy coat is the definition of wearable comfort. With its plush texture and relaxed silhouette, it feels like wrapping yourself in your favorite blanket, yet it remains endlessly stylish. Layer it over everything from knit dresses to turtlenecks and corduroy trousers and these boots like I did below. This coat is an easy way to add depth and personality to your look while staying toasty all season long.

Refining the Look: Leather Boots & Jewelry
To ground all those soft, tactile layers, add a touch of polish with beautiful leather boots. Flat riding boots lend timeless equestrian elegance, perfect for pairing with midi skirts or over leggings, while pointed-toe heeled booties (very comfortable and flattering!) elongate the leg and add a refined, feminine edge. Complete your ensemble with handsome jewelry—think sculptural earrings like this or this, a chunky bracelet, or a subtle long necklace—to bring a little sparkle and balance to your cozy textures.

Together, these pieces create the perfect autumn uniform—comfortable, elegant, and effortlessly chic for every moment the season brings.
