As the summer heat blazes on, it’s hard to believe that fall fashion is already making its way onto the scene. While I may not be ready to start shopping for sweaters and boots just yet, I’ve begun compiling my pre-fall wishlist. Living in Florida means I won’t need to break out the cold weather gear until much later in the year, probably not until November or December, given our extended warm temperatures and hurricane season.
Despite the heat, I’m already dreaming of my fall travel plans, including a trip to NYC in late September or early October for some cooler weather and a visit to Paris before the year’s end. It’ll be a welcome escape from the holiday hustle and bustle, and a chance to experience Europe in the fall for the first time.
In the meantime, I’ve been scouring new arrivals and online resale sites like TheRealReal for some great fall pieces at discounted prices. Here are over 50 pre-fall items that have caught my eye and made it onto this year’s wishlist:
1. A cozy oversized sweater in a neutral tone
2. A pair of high-waisted, wide-leg trousers
3. Ankle boots in a versatile color
4. A classic trench coat for those crisp fall days
5. A statement blazer to elevate any outfit
6. Leather loafers for a chic and comfortable look
7. A silk slip dress for a touch of elegance
8. Structured handbag in a bold hue
9. Oversized sunglasses for a glamorous touch
10. Chunky knit scarf to stay warm in style
While fall may still feel far off, it’s never too early to start planning your wardrobe for the season ahead. By keeping an eye out for key pieces that can be mixed and matched, you’ll be ready to transition seamlessly into cooler weather when the time comes. Whether you’re updating your closet with new buys or hunting for deals on pre-loved items, pre-fall fashion is all about finding pieces that reflect your personal style and make you look and feel your best. Happy shopping!
