Every year I browse the pre-fall runway collections and either invest in a few designers or get inspiration to look for pieces. Since the invention of sites like Net-A-Porter and Moda Operandi, it’s much simpler to shop these collections and stay at a certain price point. I always freshen up my wardrobe with a few pieces. This season has just begun and I’m already tempted to buy a few of my picks. Here are some of the top items I have found!
NANUSHKA – Sharma Knotted Vegan Leather Midi Dress | TIBI – Patchwork Wrap Crepe Midi Dress | MAJE – Rachel Asymmetric Printed Devore-Satin Dress | ULLA JOHNSON – Indah Printed Cotton Maxi Dress | OSCAR DE LA RENTA – Belted Striped Cotton-Poplin Midi Dress | ULLA JOHNSON – Claribiel Cotton Dress
These Pre-Fall dresses are here to delight. I would love to own all of these incredible designs. The colors of this year seem to be navy, yellow/orange, light blue, and red. My love for midi dresses continues and I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon. This is a great assortment of colors, sleeve length, and shape. All of these dresses are perfect for casual wear, work, dinner, or a semi-formal event. These pieces would all pair perfectly with a flat, sneaker, or bootie.
JOSEPH – Embroidered Wool Sweater | 3.1 PHILLIP LIM – Striped Ribbed Stretch Wool-Blend Sweater | JOSEPH – Merino Wool Sweater
Light sweaters are my go-to for summer + fall nights. There is nothing cozier than slipping on a soft warm sweater! I have a handful of sweaters – but as they age it’s good to gradually replace them or invest in a fun style for the new season. I love the Joseph sweater for a unique twist on a white sweater. It’s very interesting while still being neutral. The 3.1 Phillip Lim is a fun combo of two hot colors this season: navy and light blue. The third option by Joseph is a great basic color and style. A good pick for someone looking to build a sweater collection.
GOLDSIGN – High-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans | MARA HOFFMAN – Dita Checked Cotton Straight-Leg Pants | VINCE – Belted Checked Brushed-Twill Wide-Leg Pants | VINCE – Brushed-Twill Wide-Leg Pants | MAJE – Poppy Piped Cotton-Boucle Pants | MANSUR GAVRIEL – Cropped Linen Straight-Leg Pants
The perfect season to pick out some new pants! I find that I have plenty of jeans but I’m lacking in the trousers department. Trousers just instantly upgrade an outfit to look a bit more put together while still being fun. I love this array of options. White/cream pants are perfect for the pre-fall season. It’s like holding onto summer for just a bit longer! Plaid pants seem to be a major trend this season and who could argue with these beautiful options? But, It’s also never too late to add some basic trouser colors to your closet. These beige and navy options are incredibly classic.
ST. AGNIKOA – Double-Breasted Linen-Blend Blazer | CITIZENS OF HUMANITY – Vivienne Cotton Twill Jacket | MUNTHE – Dietes Checked Woven Blazer
I love a good jacket. Perfect for saving you from AC or a cool day- these jackets will instantly upgrade your look. A blazer can be styled casually and look great over a dress or top + pants. Having a color like white or light blue lets the blazer be more casual than a dark color. If you are looking for a more casual option the Citizen of Humanity jacket is a great pick. Army green jackets never go out of style!
GANNI – Stretch Denim Top | MAX MARA – Austin Zebra Intarsia-Knit Mini Dress | LE 17 SEPTEMBRE – Wool Twill Shirt
These tops are ready to instantly upgrade your closet. The Ganni top is very in-style right now! A slightly cropped top and large shoulders look fantastic with jeans, trousers, or a skirt. The second top by Max Mara is technically a dress but this would look so cute thrown over some jeans for a more casual look. The third top by Le 17 Septembre is more formal and perfect to wear to the office.
BY FAR – Courtney Leather Mules | JIMMY CHOO – Erin Leather Slingback Flats | BALLY – Janese Buckle-Accented Leather Mules | GANNI – Distressed Leather Ankle Boots | ACNE STUDIOS – Jensen Leather Chelsea Boots | VEJA – V12 Leather Sneakers
I can’t hide the fact that I love shoes. Sandals, mules, flats, sneakers, heels, boots – you name it – I’m into it. Pre-Fall is the best season for a variety of footwear and lends itself for more outfit options. All of these picks would look incredible with the other items and with my current wardrobe. Everyone needs a classic flat shoe, a killer pair of booties you feel great in, and a pair of sneakers that add a dose of cool to any look. Veja sneakers have been exploding lately and won’t be dropping off anytime soon.
