Fall is exciting for many reasons that have nothing to do with pumpkin spice: cooler temperatures, changing leaves, a reason to wear boots. Most importantly, we get to take our sweaters out of the closet. And if you’re going to do that, you may as well make sure that the ones you have express your inner cool.

Luckily, geek fashionistas have more than just T-shirts to choose from these days. Whether you’re House Hufflepuff or side with the Rebel Alliance, there’s a fuzzy, warm garment for you. 

Here are a few of our favorite picks to keep the chilly temperatures at bay.
