The 8 Biggest Trends of Pre-Fall 2018
(L-R): Diane von Furstenberg, Monse, Prabal Gurung, Roberto Cavall and Tibi
Pre-fall may not be a season for taking fashion risks, but that doesn't preclude it from meaningful work and outputs; these collections spend a long time on shelves, after all. With that said, customers will find plenty of practical, effective and of course, beautiful clothes by the time these Pre-Fall 2018 collections hit the store.
Animal Stripes
(L-R): Kimora Lee Simmons, Red Valentino, Just Cavalli, Roberto Cavalli and Cynthia Rowley
The right stripe for pre-fall appears to be neither mineral nor vegetable, but animal.
Capes
(L-R): St John, Christian Dior, Emilio Pucci, Fendi and Pringle of Scotland
The answer to the question, "I want to look good but not have to try too hard."
Handkerchief Hems
(L-R): Temperley London, Jonathan Simkhai, Issey Miyake, Yigal Azrouel and Roberto Cavalli
It will be tempting to twirl in pre-fall handkerchief hems — and we say, go for it!
Kitten Heels
(L-R): ALC, Erdem, Piazza Sempione, Emilio Pucci and Tibi
Kitten heels cannot decide whether they want to be a flat or a heel, and pre-fall will be full of this delightful indecisiveness.
Lavender
(L-R): Natasha Zinko, Markus Lupfer, Co, Prabal Gurung and Roksanda
Give your millennial pink a quick break with the soft shades of lavender.
Logos
(L-R): Monse, Givenchy, Missoni, Jil Sander and Versace
It's official: Logomania is not going anywhere. Enjoy!
Tapered Trousers
(L-R): Grey Jason Wu, Emilia Wickstead, Chloe, Karen Walker and See by Chloe
This classic staple will both make a comeback as well as be a welcome reprieve from skinny jeans.
Trenches
(L-R): Agnona, Christian Dior, Huishan Zhang, Erdem and Diane von Furstenberg
Meanwhile, the classic trench is getting an upgrade. Time to be creative!
