15 Stylish Southern FINDS for September: Game-Day Essentials, Autumn Fashion & More
Fall is calling, and these September FINDS are ready to help you embrace the season with stylish layers, cozy flavors, game-day favorites, and entertaining essentials.
Autumn is settling in (even if our Southern temperatures haven’t quite caught up), and we’re embracing the season with fall fashion essentials and FINDS that feel cozy, polished, and fun. Rich jewel tones, game-day entertaining must-haves, and delicious seasonal flavors are all making their way onto our September wish list. Consider these picks from retailers around the South your inspiration for easing into fall in style.
CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES
Foiled knit sweater
A little shimmer goes a long way with this sweater top, cut from a foiled metallic knit that adds rich texture without feeling overdone. The relaxed, slightly cropped fit makes it an easy fall upgrade for everything from tailored pants to a flowing skirt. Shop it for $278 at The Finicky Filly.
Matching skirt set
Plaid is practically a fall neutral, and this rich brown set makes a particularly pretty case for it. The skirt’s trumpet shape and asymmetric hem add movement to the classic pattern, and it’s cool enough to wear now and layer later. Shop both the top ($58) and skirt ($78) at Lilbelle.
Suede bootie
A bourbon-hued suede ankle boot is about as fall-ready as footwear gets. With a sleek profile, it pairs easily with denim, dresses, and everything else in your autumn rotation. Find a pair for $170 at Tops For Shoes.
Two-tone ring
This ring offers an easy mix of metals, pairing gold and silver tones in a sculptural, modern silhouette. It’s an everyday statement piece that plays well with whatever jewelry is already in your rotation. Find it for $26 at Boem.
Bucket bag
We love this little jewel-toned bucket bag for fall, especially in rich royal blue. And calf hair adds just the right amount of texture and interest. It’s $180 at Marlowe Street.
HOME DECOR & ENTERTAINING
Cordless lamp
Good lighting doesn’t have to require an outlet. This cordless LED table lamp casts a soft glow through its acrylic shade and can easily move from the dinner table to the patio for fall entertaining. Shop it for $60 at The Olive Tree.
Berry-scented candle
For those craving something a little different than pumpkin spice, Candlefish’s Library No. 39 ($32) offers a moodier take on fall fragrance, with warm, woodsy notes of plum, berry, and musk that feel right at home once the evenings turn crisp.
Chip & dip bowl
A serving piece and statement-maker, this malachite-inspired bowl swirls deep greens and earthy tones into a jewel-like centerpiece (that’s shatter-resistant, no less). A built-in dip well makes it especially handy for chips and salsa, crudités, or whatever you’re serving at your next gathering. Find it for $315 at Rhodes.
FOOD & PANTRY
Stuffing-inspired popcorn
Popcorn gets an autumnal spin with this buttery, savory blend of sweet caramelized onion, fragrant sage, thyme, rosemary, and warm herbs. Inspired by homemade stuffing, it’s the kind of cozy snack made for football Saturdays, movie nights, and crisp fall afternoons. Grab a bag for $7.25 at Poppy.
Apple pie spice blend
Consider Spicewalla’s Apple Pie Spice (on sale for $7.64) your shortcut to making just about anything taste like fall. The cozy blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, and allspice is made for pies, of course, but we’d happily sprinkle it into oatmeal, coffee, or weekend pancakes.
Fall-flavored syrup
Frothy Monkey’s pecan syrup ($22) is basically pecan pie in a pour, with warm, buttery sweetness and rich caramelized flavor. Add a splash to your latte, drizzle it over pancakes, or let it cozy up a bourbon cocktail when fall happy hour calls.
Scone mix
The Paris Market’s Orange Cranberry Scone Mix ($15) pairs chewy cranberries with bright, crystallized orange for a sweet-tart treat that feels tailor-made for crisp fall mornings. Made in Georgia, it turns into golden, bakery-worthy scones with just over a cup of cream.
FOR GAME DAYS
Personalized invitations
Take your team spirit to paper with these football goal post cards, featuring artwork by Eden Flora and customizable team names and colors. Whether sent digitally or printed on luxe eggshell stock, they’re a little win for tailgate or watch party invitations. They start at $36 at Dogwood Hill.
Collegiate paper plates
Give your game day spread a spirited upgrade with Pavilion Paper’s collegiate (and disposable) dessert plates ($9 for an eight-pack), featuring playful team-inspired artwork in multiple school colors.
Gameday trays
Serve up your game day spread with style using these handled trays from Hot Pink, available in football field ($37.50) and pennant ($45) designs. Made from easy-to-wipe polymer, they’re just right for carrying snacks, cocktails, or a fresh batch of tailgate treats.
