The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and leaves are turning reds and oranges — it’s officially fall. With the spooky season upon us and everyone getting out their jackets and hoodies, there is no denying that we are ready for the comfy and cozy vibes that come with the fall season. Here are some ways to get ready for fall and enjoy it to the max.

4. Stock up on sweaters

The chilly weather during the fall is the perfect time to gather different types of cozy sweaters to wear 24/7. In your house, to school or work, or even just the grocery store, sweatshirts are the perfect attire to fit the fall theme. You can get various designs for as cheap as $14.50, found on TikTok shop for the best knitted, navy blue sweater.

3. Rewatch fall-themed TV series and movies

Reminiscing the past with old movies is the perfect way to spend the fall season, filled with old but classic love stories such as Twilight, Little Women, Gilmore Girls, and even thrillers such as Harry Potter. The range of red to brown colors in these series/films can put you in the best scenery for these next few months.

2. Listen to fall-themed songs

Listening to the same songs every fall is the best way to indulge yourself into the sweetness of this season. One song that fits perfectly with the pumpkins, red-orange leaves, and Halloween-themed season is “we fell in love in october” by girl in red.

Listening to this song, with its mesmerizing rhythm and lyrics will throw you into the perfect mood for fall. This song, along with “All Too Well” by Taylor Swift — the perfect duo for this season. The same color scheme in both songs lets you know that these songs are for you this season.

1. Make or buy pumpkin flavored drinks

Pumpkin is the theme every fall. When you think of fall, you have to be thinking about pumpkins. When decorating your house for fall — pumpkins. When walking around the neighborhood on Halloween night — pumpkins. What better way to incorporate pumpkin than drinking it? Make a homemade pumpkin latte, or buy one from your local coffee shop, and drink up!
