“Time to get cozy”

Hello Strands fans! Today's puzzle didn't present too many problems, except for a word that has a different meaning in the UK, where I am from

“Time to get cozy” only seemed to mean the change of season from summer to fall, so it was just a matter of figuring out which part of the puzzle I was referring to Unable to find “blanket,” I found “vest” in the lower right corner and focused on the garment

The upper left SCARF, plus both FLEECE and SWEATER above VEST, completed the right side However, the soup of letters on the left side had given me enough problems that I eventually gave in and took the hint

The clue was FLANNEL In the UK, “flannel” is a washcloth and not on the list of comfortable garments! However, there is no such excuse for CARDIGAN, which is just above it

All that remains is a spangram connecting the remaining letters from top to bottom It was, of course, FALLFASHION
