New season, new arrivals, new you! The pre-fall ’23 collections have officially hit stores and out of all the style staples out there, these are the ones we’re eyeing (and shopping!). In an era defined by stealth wealth, quiet luxury, and minimalism, the intent to shop those irresistible It items still very much exists, especially during a transitional season as summer fades into fall—a notoriously challenging time for our closets. From pairs of crystal-embellished ballet flats from Khaite and Mango to longline denim maxi skirts from Zimmermann and Agolde, find out what makes our pre-fall most wanted list, below.
With each new season, there tends to be one dress trend that trumps all. If summer was all about the LWD, then let us introduce you to the knit maxi dress for fall, specifically Christopher Esber’s fabulous 2-in-1 frock. If you love the look of a sweater and slip-skirt combo then this is the must-have maxi for you. Sumptuous leather jackets are foundational in any fall capsule wardrobe, and this season, we’re gravitating towards Remain Birger Christensen’s distressed button-up version. Styling-wise, pair the It item with Zimmermann’s longline denim maxi skirt–another style staple that continues to reign supreme. For casual coolness, cargo pants are topping our shopping carts, from Citizens of Humanity’s camouflage pair to Nili Lotan’s baggy style.
When it comes to essentials, nothing beats the versatility of a jean jacket. This fall, find Khaite’s embellished Grizzo jacket and expect a welcome wardrobe upgrade. Speaking of Khaite, its crystal-embellished ballet flats that reached cult-like status last spring have been restocked for fall—shop them now before it’s too late! Other prized pieces on our pre-fall most wanted list include Bottega Veneta’s metallic midiskirt, Loewe’s baby blue tank top, a polka-dotted dress from Marni, Vince’s sleek suit vest style, and Loewe’s timeless tote bag. All these and more, below.
The closet appeal of an all-in-one outfit dress is nothing new. This season, though, Christopher Esber’s 2-in-1 maxi dress takes it to another level entirely. With a cashmere crewneck up top and a silky satin skirt on the bottom, this is one notable knit number you’ll want to take note of. Style yours, and more like it below, with a knee-high boot or a sweet pair of ballet flats.

Modernized leather jackets have long been a street style staple–and this season, Remain Birger Christensen’s chocolate brown version is taking center stage. With distressed details and patch pockets, pair the It item with a sleek jean and plain white tee for a look that is effortlessly elegant. Other leather luxuries include those from Pixie Market, Massimo Dutti, Loulou Studio, and Nili Lotan.

For pre-fall, longline denim skirts are (still) reigning supreme. At the top of our list, you ask? Zimmermann’s Luminosity denim maxi. With a statement flared hem, the hero item debuted on the brand’s AW23 runway and is fresh on the scene. Other maxi must-haves include those from Agolde, Citizens of Humanity, Loulou Studio, and Stella McCartney.

One surefire way to stay casual-cool this pre-fall and beyond? A chic pair of cargo pants, specifically this camouflaged pair from Citizens of Humanity. Then, complete the look with a billowy button-up or minimalist Mary Jane. Similarly stylish, find (and shop!) more cargos from Vince, Cos, Nili Lotan, and Frame.

You heard it here first! Khaite’s viral crystal-embellished ballet flats are finally back in stock for pre-fall. The It item is notorious for flying off the shelves, so shop yours while you still can! Should you be too-little-too-late, fancy flats from Mango, JW Anderson, Zara, and Le Monde Beryl are just as good.
Speaking of Khaite, their Grizzo jean jacket is a staple season after season. However, for pre-fall, the prized piece is reimagined with a row of glossy silver studs. With an oversized fit, the denim delight is a must in any transitional wardrobe; the same goes for similar styles from Loewe, Favorite Daughter, Tory Burch, and Dries Van Noten.

This pre-fall season, the more metallic, the better. And of all the metallic must-haves, none shine brighter than Bottega Veneta’s silver midiskirt. Fresh on the fashion scene, this new arrival is well worth the investment. Others like it include Dries Van Noten’s floral version, sequin styles from Zara and 16Arlington, and Max Mara Leisure’s silky satin skirt.

The suit vest is a style staple we’ve been investing in for seasons now; however, the newest arrivals are sleeker than ever. Take Vince’s khaki classic, for example. The perfect balance of polish and practicality, this piece of modern workwear pairs perfectly with tailored trousers as it does with baggy jeans. Shop more from Loulou Studio, J.Crew, Cos, and Agolde.
Hello, logo! The Loewe tank top first debuted last year, but for pre-fall, the timeless tank comes in a vibrant blue hue. Packing the perfect punch of color, style yours with a seasonal white jean or a pajama-like pant for a look that strikes a subtle statement. More logo tanks come courtesy of Prada, Courrèges, Gucci, and Saint Laurent.

Minimalist handbags are the definition of understated elegance. For pre-fall, Loewe’s Puzzle fold tote is as chic as ever. It also doesn’t hurt to mention that the hero handbag already has a cult-like following, which includes fashion girls and supermodels alike. Other timeless totes include those from Aesther Ekme, The Row, Toteme, and J.Crew.
