Fall days can get chilly, and nights are even colder. Be prepared for any shift in temperature with a soft hat that’s easy to keep in your bag or coat pocket. Beanies like the Spikerking Men’s Skull Cap or the Basico Beanie Cap for women are perfect for keeping your ears cozy on the go. If you’re traveling somewhere that might be too warm for a thick-knit hat, look for a thinner cap like this light-knit beanie.
2. A Big Scarf

The scarf is the ultimate fall travel accessory. You can wear it around your neck, use it to keep you warm on the plane, or fold it up as a pillow. Unlike other items you pack, your scarf should not be travel-sized. Go with a big one like the Wait a Pigment Scarf from Modcloth to get the most coverage. If you’re looking to get even more use out of your scarf, try the SHOLDIT, an infinity scarf with a secret pocket big enough for your passport and other important documents.
3. Tall Boots

Cardigans are a smart and packable layer for fall trips—They’re light and don’t take up much space. You can slip them on over a T-shirt or under a larger sweater if gets really cold, but the best part about cardigans is the number of styles and colors they come in. For women, the color choices and pockets of the ZJ Boyfriend Cardigan are a great place to start; guys can find their style with the right Match Men’s Cardigan Sweater.
7. A Leather Backpack

If you don’t want to spend the day holding onto your scarf, hat, and extra cardigan, invest in a small leather backpack that will keep all your layers at the ready and match your autumn wardrobe. Leather (and even synthetic leather) resists water better than cloth backpacks, and it always looks fashionable.
