GETTING WARMER: From left, POLO BY RALPH LAUREN‘s cashmere pullover cable-knit ($398; www.polo.com) is the perfect bonfire vanity.
Take a leaf-peeping hike or head to happy hour in this versatile, velvety cotton zip- and button-up blazer ($425; www.swissarmy.com) from VICTORINOX BY SWISS ARMY.
Also from POLO BY RALPH LAUREN, this wool cardigan ($265) will keep you toasty on a brisk morning, while the sturdy cotton fireman jacket ($595), with its wool plaid liner, is ideal for hauling firewood from the back forty to the house.
