From cosy nights in to hot chocolate and Halloween - here are 10 reasons why we love autumn so much
But whether it’s oversized sweaters, complicated coffee orders, cosy nights in by the fire, a love for layering or Halloween, there are plenty of autumn delights to get excited about. But what is it about autumn that we love the most?
Angie Chalmers, a meditation teacher from Stratford School of Meditation, told VonHaus: “We look forward to autumn so much because it gives us permission to slow down a bit. Thick cosy jumpers, boots, pumpkin spice latte, candles and throws, autumn provides us with the opportunity to enjoy a Danish way of living known as Hygge.
“‘Hygge is all about slowing down, enjoying the little things and moments in life - it is a form of self-care and encourages us to be physically and mentally present. This leads to an increased sense of self-esteem, and a clearer, more balanced, and positive headspace”
