Fall is one of the most wonderful seasons of the year. It is a season of beginnings and endings at the same time. School starts as summer ends and while we may feel bittersweet about this fact for a while, it soon fades. We then yearn for the wonderful aspects of fall to kick in and make it truly one of the most enjoyable seasons of the year. Here are 22 of the best things about fall:
1. Sweaters
Sweaters are one of the most beautiful things about fall. Once we finally get past that awkward cold-but-not-cold stage in September, sweater season is full on and we love it. They’re just so incredibly comfy, warm, and perfect.
2. Scarves
Huge infinity scarves are one of the warmest aspects of fall fashion. They go with anything and are practical and fashionable. Gotta love that combo.
3. Boots
Whether you're still a loyal Ugg fan or into combat boots, they are simply a 100% necessity during fall and winter. Once again, they can be worn with anything and keep your feet dry, warm, and fashionable. They also are great for artsy pictures.
4. Flannel
Flannel has returned, for better or worse. But I have to say, when worn correctly, baggy flannel shirts are one of the simplest and most comfy options for everyday outfits. Go flannel!
5. Hot chocolate with cinnamon
Yes, this is partly a shoutout to Once Upon a Time fans, but seriously, it is the best. Hot chocolate alone is fantastic and add a little cinnamon on top and it is off the charts. It screams fall.
6. SALTED CARAMEL MOCHAS
One of my personal favorite things about Starbucks' fall menu. The sweetness, the espresso, the crunch on top...bliss. Great, now I want one.
7. Autumn is clearly the best season for Starbucks
From the notorious PSL to Salted Caramel Mochas to Chai Lattes, there are just so many toasty options this time of year. I can imagine Starbucks' loves this time of year too.
8. Pumpkin everything
Pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin. There's never too much.
9. CANDY CORN
It's just such a staple in fall candy.
10. The holidays that are coming
Let's be honest, as fabulous as fall is, we all associate it as meaning Christmas is coming. And that makes us super excited. Thanksgiving is pretty great too.
11. New tv show seasons
So. Many. Premiers. It's too much to handle.
12. Football
Thank goodness Sunday afternoon football is back! What did we do without it?!
13. Hockey
We've survived a grueling summer without it, and we know what October means....hockey season is back!
14. The World Series
Baseball may be a "summer sport," but the action sure gets going in October!
15. Rainy nights and tea
Those cold, rainy, quiet nights at home just aren't complete without a hot drink and book.
16. Leaves and their glory
The fall colors are simply breathtaking, especially in mountainous areas. This is simply one of the most glorious parts of fall.
17. Candles
Pumpkin candles were a staple in my house during the fall months. They bring such a wonderful aroma to the air.
18. Bonfires
Those cold, smoky nights at a bonfire are a must during the fall months.
19. S’mores at said bonfires
A bonfire isn't complete without s'mores, let's be honest.
20. Apple picking
Admittedly, a lot of us do it just for the experience rather than the apples, but fresh picked apples are the bomb.
21. Hiking
Hikes during the brisk fall weather are invigorating and good for the soul.
22. Sunsets
Glorious colors of a sunset mixed with vibrant fall colors just sums up the amazingness that is fall. Get out there and enjoy it.
