I love nothing more than dressing for a theme. Give me an aesthetic to align my wardrobe with, and I'm a happy camper (unless you're actually taking me camping because that's not my vibe). When the calendar flips to November and the leaves start to crisp and curl, I instantly want to dress like I live in a Nancy Meyers version of New England. Think cozy knits, perfectly worn denim, and layers that look like they were made for apple picking, leaf peeping, and bookstore browsing.
That's exactly the energy behind my shopping selections for this story. From Fair Isle sweaters and barn jackets to clogs and corduroy pants, these Gap and Old Navy items channel peak fall nostalgia without veering into costume territory. Whether you're actually headed to Vermont or just craving that cinnamon-scented aesthetic, these pieces will get you there—no plane ticket (or tent) required.
