As summer begins to fade, the crisp and cool air begins to move in. Here in Chicago, it’s been a hot one, with nineteen days over 90 degrees, according to CBS Chicago. Raise your hand if you’re ready for fall like we are!
Even though September is showing the fall weather moving in a bit slower than we’d like, it’s the perfect time to get ready to enjoy those #fallvibes. At Collectiv, we’re excited to share with you some of our fall favorites. So snuggle up with a chunky blanket and a cup of tea in your favorite mug and read on to see what we recommend to make this the perfect autumn season.
1) Candles
If you picture any of your favorite fall scenes, there is one thing that’s always synonymous; candles. Our resident candle expert, Adorn Home Fragrance, says that it’s no surprise that pumpkin is one of the more popular scents of the season. “Scents like our sleepy hollow pumpkin chai and pumpkin spice are here to stay,” she said. However, she also added a scent trend she's seeing in 2021. “I also have fig blend and log cabin, which are two newer fall candle favorites.”
2) Scarves
From walking around Gobberts Pumpkin Patch to find the perfect jack-o-lantern, to finding your way through the world’s largest corn maze at Richardson Adventure Farm, it’s going to get chilly. That’s why we recommend grabbing a scarf now. Sundae Crochet Co says this season’s hottest colors will be “Bright yellows, oranges, and pinks, something that pops among the fall foliage.”
Of course, neutrals are always in style. Sundae Crochet Co. recommends charcoal gray as their favorite neutral accessory color for the season Sundae Crochet Co. makes chunky crocheted scarves you can find right here at Collectiv! Shop now.
3) Mugs
Remember when we mentioned to cozy up with your favorite mug in hand? Well, if you don’t have a favorite mug yet-- now is the time to get one! While mug trends exist, our favorites are always ones that reflect your personality. It’s no surprise that we recommend these 11oz ceramic mugs featuring a cuddly cat for your favorite fall beverage!
