Inspired by American heritage style and the Pendleton Portland Collection, these picks will help preserve that “cozying-up-by-the-fire” feeling, all day long.

The best thing about fall is that we can cozy up on the couch and wrap ourselves in a thick, warm blanket. With these blanket patterned pieces, we can preserve that cozy feeling, all day long. The Pendleton Portland Collection serves as the inspiration for this American heritage style, but you can find eco-savvy picks from other designers as well. In light of the recent Navajo Nation vs. Urban Outfitters controversy, it’s worth noting that Pendleton has worked with Native Americans in the Southwest since 1895, designing blankets, robes and, eventually, items for ceremonial use. Add a black hat, some black tights and you’re good to go.

Here we go again! Ladies, time to lay claim to another one of the boys’ signature pieces – the fedora. No longer meant just for celebrities traveling incognito, the straw fedora has become a summer staple fit for traveling, lounging on the beach, or running around the city doing errand on the weekend.

If you are in the market for a fedora check out a classic from Louise Green, or add a bit of color with the one from Livity. And, if you are forecasting that this trend is one that will stick around for fall and winter (as we are!), pick up a cool weather accomplice from Claudia Schulz.

Take a bad hair day and turn it into a style statement by twisting your hair into a low loose bun that hits the nape of your neck. Pull a few pieces free from around your face, and position your fedora with a sideways tilt for a super sexy cool look. One thing is for sure, the fedora amps the coolness factor of any outfit up a notch and is one trend you won’t want to take off any time soon.
