autumn chill

Sweater weather feeling

Autumn chill is the crisp, cool air characteristic of fall—not yet winter's cold, but a noticeable drop from summer warmth.

The phrase often carries nostalgic or atmospheric connotations: There was an autumn chill in the air that made her reach for a sweater.

It suggests the transitional quality of the season, when mornings turn brisk and evenings invite warm drinks.
