It’s a brand new year, and with it comes new outfit ideas we can’t wait to indulge in. While we don’t mind waiting for street style imagery to drop upon fashion month’s inevitable arrival, there is plenty of inspiration to be discovered from the collections in between. Enter, pre-fall 25—a culmination of the seasons, such as summer staples like billowy skirts and dresses, mixed with early fall favorites like suede handbags, knee-high boots, and cropped jackets.

The pre-fall collections have an overarching theme despite stemming from fashion houses with totally unique identities. That theme? Wearability! There are tried-and-true weekend wears inspired by Gucci, with an oversized fur coat as the foundational must-have. (For right now, you can elevate your Saturday coffee outing by layering a fuzzy coat from The Frankie Shop over a burgundy button-up from Vince.) Then, there’s the modern boho, fit for work weeks and transitional weather bundling. Look to Ralph Lauren for ideas on how to take ’70s sensibilities into the contemporary and drape a shearling jacket over a languid white dress—tan boots add warmth and complete the look.
These days, no wardrobe is complete without a ladylike jacket either. Take a page from the Valentino book by wearing yours over a feminine frock—we’re particularly fond of Khaite’s pussybow blouse. A ladylike jacket ensemble can also serve as the ideal going-out-with-the-gals look—flirty and fun. Other pre-fall finds include a pleated skirt à la Balenciaga that can be worn with both structured blazers and oversized knits, new ways to style the artful top courtesy of Kallmeyer, and playful balloon silhouettes motivated by Ferragamo for special occasions and late-night events. Ahead, 9 outfit ideas inspired by the Pre-Fall collections.
The Faux Fur With a Silky Top and Slouchy Suede Bag
Fur is no faux pas come winter—if anything, we're gravitating more toward faux styles that can be dressed up, or down, for the weekends and beyond. Take The Frankie Shop’s Rella coat, for example, and Gucci’s laid-back approach. Wear yours atop a burgundy blouse, then add a slouchy pair of black trousers.

The Shearling-Trimmed Bomber With a Boho Dress and Tan Boots
We're still witnessing the boho resurgence into the new year, and there are both polished and pared-back ways to embrace this trend. Take a cue from Ralph Lauren’s pre-fall collection and go the tried-and-true route by layering a shearling coat over a billowy white dress.

The Fitted Biker Jacket With a Classic Crewneck and Winter White Jeans
Although playfulness and experimentation are always top of mind for fashion lovers, an easy, effortless outfit for the everyday is equally important, especially for those busy days when you’d rather not ponder. In true Nili Lotan fashion, style a cropped biker jacket with a classic crewneck. Keep the ensemble fresh by opting for off-white denim instead of blue.

The Chunky Knit With a Croc-Embossed Skirt and Leather Knee-High Boots
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.

The Curved Pant With a Structured Coat and Ladylike Pumps
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.

The Ladylike Jacket With Flared Jeans and a Pussybow Blouse
With each season, one inescapable trend captures both the runway (think Valentino, Prada, and Toteme!), and street style. Currently, it’s ladylike dressing, spanning jackets, footwear, and blazers. Set aside your oversized double-breasted option in favor of Veronica Beard’s polished red jacket. Then, add further femininity with Khaite's pussybow blouse and Valentino Mary Jane’s, complete with a jewel embellishment.

The Sweater Dress Underneath a Teddy Coat With Ruffled Extras
W’'re not willing to stop wearing dresses for the sake of cold weather. Instead, we’re replacing lightweight cotton and twill styles for thicker sweater dresses. Take a note from Chanel and opt for winter whites and creams. We think Simkhai’s bouclé maxi dress and Toteme’s teddy will suffice for warmth and sophistication. For that inimitable Chanel-coded flounce, layer a ruffled blouse beneath.

The Pleated Midi Skirt With a Casual Bomber Jacket and Heeled Sandals
It’s clear—sports and fashion go hand in hand. Balenciaga has routinely embraced athleisure, and for pre-fall the house is blending the two worlds by combining unlikely separates. To achieve this look, team your favorite pleated midiskirt with a casual bomber jacket. For another twist, add a sky-high pair of heeled sandals.
