As of a few days ago, Summer is officially over. And while there’s still plenty of warm weather yet to be had, we’re getting ready for the changing of the seasons in a few different ways. For starters, it’s time to start breaking out the warmer clothes, like our favorite waxed trucker jacket and stylish pants. But it also means getting prepped for some more time inside (even if that means time spent inside a new, unique camper trailer).

Whether you’re a big autumn outdoors person or you like to stay more comfy and cozy at home, this month’s collection of our editors’ favorite products will surely have something that sparks your interest. From a hard-to-get cast-iron skillet to a stylish and affordable GMT watch, we’ve got the goods to see you through the beginning of the fall season.

While it isn’t a huge improvement over the 14, there’s no denying the hype around any new iPhone release. The 15 is no different, and there are some things to be excited about, like more universal charging options, a titanium case option, a seriously upgraded camera and more.

Sonos’ powerful, stylish audio devices rarely disappoint, and the Era 300 continues that trend with its small footprint and surprisingly powerful, high-fidelity sound. While it does work best with a Dolby Atmos-compatible streaming service, like Apple Music or Amazon Music Unlimited, there’s still a lot to love about this tiny titan.

Timex has been on a roll lately with its budget-friendly watches that seem (and function) like much more high-end timepieces. And now they’ve taken the iconic Q line and added a GMT, perfect for frequent travelers. While still inexpensive, it also benefits from the accuracy of its quartz movement, which, while not for everyone, is as reliable as they come.

It was shocking to see Yeti release a cast-iron pan in collaboration with the legendary brand Butter Pat. It was more shocking to see this $400 piece of cookware sell out in minutes. But that’s what happens with an offering of this caliber. Luckily, it’s back in stock — though for how long, we can’t really say.

Apple has a habit of taking its best products and somehow figuring out ways to improve upon them. That’s exactly what happened here with the Apple Watch Ultra 2. While the original Ultra was amazing and this one is only a slight improvement, the gesture controls, Siri integration and brighter screen are all great additions.

Summer may be over, but camping season can go as long as you want it to, so long as you’re towing along this expandable camper trailer. It’s light enough to be towed by just about any vehicle, has solar power (a nice eco-friendly, convenient touch), and folds out (and back in) in a snap.

Patagonia’s Baggies are some of the best all-around shorts you can buy, as great for hiking as they are for lounging. And even though the summer is ending, they’re still a wardrobe staple you’ll find yourself turning to time and time again. Go ahead: buy yourself a pair or three.

Every good TV needs a stand, and this one is as sturdy as it is beautiful. It also has shelving for your media players and storage on either side for, well, whatever you’d want to store in it.

Winter is coming, and that means it’s the perfect time to pick up the Pedro Pascal-approved Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket. This timeless piece looks great, ages beautifully and is even weatherproof for those upcoming drizzles and dustings of snow.

Chinos are great for post-summer and early fall, as they’re lightweight but not quite as breezy and coverage-lacking as shorts. These are some of our favorites and look great with just about any outfit.
