Pre-Fall marks the end of summer but opens a new chapter for fall. Despite its brevity, consider this season a bridge that will help your wardrobe transition seamlessly from warmer days to cooler ones. Of course, there are ready-to-wear pieces, but also accessories that are easy to carry from one season to the next.
A tassel accent here, a bright scarf there—Pre-Fall accessory trends allow you to do a lot with minimalist pieces, allowing you to rethink your style and give your outfits a fresh look without having to completely overhaul your wardrobe. Below, you'll find a more detailed look at those worth considering, from visor sunglasses, which remain popular into fall, to vibrant colors that add a sophisticated touch to every outfit.
Scarf
The hardest-working accessory in your wardrobe! Tie it, belt it, throw it on—there's no wrong way to wear it. Chanel and Kallmeyer showed us how to wear a scarf as a belt; Stella McCartney, Ferragamo, and Heirlome presented different ways to wrap it around the neck.
Tassels
Tassels are a great accent; what once adorned the home brings elegance and luxury to your wardrobe. Try using them as a belt, bag, or pendant.
Colorful Gloves
Gloves are a fresh way to transform your fall look. Choose bright red, turquoise, and purple to pair with both neutrals and animal prints.
Layered Necklaces
One is never enough; layering is a trend, as seen on the runways of Lanvin, Chanel, Valentino, and more. A pre-made layered look will do all the work for you.
Shield Sunglasses
Retro-futuristic shield sunglasses remain popular throughout the pre-season and fall; choose from subtly tinted lenses and classic opaque ones.
Bag
Soft yet structured, this bag will hold all your essentials while adding effortless elegance to your look—perfect for both the office and the weekend.
Finishing Touch
The easiest way to instantly elevate your look? A hat, whether wool, leather, straw, or faux fur.
Bright Shoes
Khaite, Valentino, Dior, Chanel, and Carven all prove that bright shoes are all the energy a neutral outfit needs.
Tall Boots
One of the first fashion trends, pair tall boots with everything from dresses to Bermudas, skirts, and trousers.
Burgundy Bags
Move over, black and brown! Burgundy bags are this season's favorite neutral: rich, sophisticated, and just as versatile. You'll wear one again and again.
Bracelets and Cuffs
Sculptural bracelets and bold cuffs take the place of delicate jewelry, whether layered or balanced on both wrists.
Loafers
This truly versatile wardrobe staple pairs with everything from minimalist to maximalist styles.
