Is it hot in here, or is it just us?

With temperatures quickly dropping and fall right around the corner, we have a feeling it’s us — especially with cuffing season on the horizon.

In case you don’t know what cuffing season is, when it is and what you need, we’re breaking it all down for you here.

So hit play on your Red album (Taylor’s Version, of course), bring out the candles and get reading!

Cuffing season is essentially a time where singles everywhere go looking for a short term romance to pass the cold months. Ya know, like the opposite of a summer fling.

This desire to partner up stems from couples frolicking around snow-covered streets in rom-coms and the plethora of holiday activities (like New Year’s and Christmas) that you don’t necessarily want to attend alone.

Cold months also lower our serotonin levels, persuading us to find someone we can call ours.

Cuffing season usually kicks off at the start of October and carries on until the end February. This way, you lock in a fun V-Day date. But hey, maybe you’ll be one of the lucky ones and make it last!

While you don’t need anything specific (besides another romantic) for cuffing season, we think these 10 essentials will help. Because a date adorned with sweet music and cozy loungewear is guaranteed to make things that much better.
