It’s a new year of logos, and with it comes new sartorial concepts that we can’t wait to enjoy. While we don’t mind waiting for street taste photos to drop with the inevitable arrival of fashion month, there’s plenty of inspiration to be found. intermediate collections. Enter, ahead of fall 2025, a seasonal highlight, such as summer staples like skirts and flowy dresses, paired with early fall favorites like suede bags, knee-high boots, and cropped jackets.
The pre-fall collections have a general theme, coming from fashion houses with absolutely exclusive identities. This topic? Portability! There are tried and true Gucci-inspired weekend ensembles, with an oversized fur coat a must-have. (For now, you can upgrade your Saturday coffee outing by throwing on a fluffy coat from The Frankie Shop over a burgundy button-down from Vince. ) Then there’s bohemian fashion, tailored to paint weeks and transitional conditions. Look to Ralph Lauren to learn how to incorporate ’70s sensibilities into freshness and wear a shearling jacket over languid white. Dress. The beige boots add heat and complete the look.

Other pre-fall novelties come with a Balenciaga-style pleated skirt that can be worn with structured blazers and oversized knitwear, new tactics for wearing this artistic courtesy of Kallmeyer, and fun balloon silhouettes encouraged by Ferragamo for special events and evening events . Ahead, nine sartorial concepts promoted through the pre-fall collections.
On the contrary, we lean more towards elegant styles that can be dressed formal or casual for the weekend and beyond. Take, for example, The Frankie Shop’s Rella coat and Gucci’s casual technique. Wear yours over a burgundy blouse, then pull up baggy black pants.

A monochromatic outfit is anything but boring when statement textures are utilized. Just take a look at Stella McCartney’s all-black look—a chunky cableknit sweater and a croc-embossed skirt are the heroes here. Keep accessories minimal, but chic, with Toteme’s clutch and McCartney’s knee-high boots.

We weren’t fully convinced that the balloon hemline would make a comeback, but Maximilian Davis proved us wrong with his modern interpretation for Ferragamo. Test out the trend on your own terms with a pair of Alaïa balloon pants. For structure, layer Aritzia’s tailored coat and finish off with pointy pumps.

We can’t help but dress in underwear because of the cold. Instead, we’re replacing lightweight cotton and twill styles with heavier sweater dresses. Take note from Chanel and opt for winter whites and creams. We think Simkhai’s long curly dress and Toteme’s plush will be enough to add warmth and sophistication. To get that inimitable Chanel-coded ruffle, wear a ruffled blouse underneath.
