The Pre-Fall Edit: Trends Defining Fall 2026

Summer isn’t over, but it’s the perfect time to get a jump on fall fashion trends. Shopping early not only gives you the best selection, but it makes it easier to build a wardrobe with pieces you'll wear long after the season begins. 

Here are the Fall 2026 fashion trends you want to shop now:

Faux Fur

One of the best parts of fall fashion is the coats. This season, make sure you have faux fur options in your rotation.

For a timeless staple you can wear well into winter, go for Twinset’s light gray faux fur coat. Warm and cozy, it features oversized lapels and a cropped silhouette that lets your favorite denim take center stage.

If you prefer something a little more tailored, Twinset’s fade out animal print faux fur coat offers a straight, fitted silhouette with an oversized collar and luxurious texture. It’s an easy way to add interest to everything from casual outings to special occasions.

Looking for something that embraces the trend without feeling too heavy? Twinset’s fuzzy sleeve jean jacket blends classic black denim with plush shearling-inspired sleeves for an updated take on an everyday favorite. Wear it with wide-leg jeans in the same wash for a modern monochromatic look.

Even utility-style jackets are getting the faux fur treatment this year. Pinko’s Garlate jacket is a coffee-colored denim option with faux fur accents on the collar and cuffs. It has an adjustable drawstring hem, which adds another fresh element to this fashion-forward piece. Wear it over your favorite lightweight sweater and jeans for an easy transitional outfit.

Quality Knits

Some trends come and go, but quality knitwear is forever. This season, look for timeless silhouettes and luxurious fabrics that can be layered and lived in.

A flattering V-neck cashmere sweater never goes out of style. We love the Zadig and Voltaire Swyny for its relaxed, oversized fit that feels just as appropriate for lounging at home as it does with a pair of tailored trousers for dinner.

Sweater vests continue to be a versatile layering piece, especially when they combine classic details with a modern silhouette. Closed’s sweater crew neck vest is crafted from luxurious Italian bouclé yarn and finished with a slim waist and structured shoulder pads that create a flattering shape. Wear it over a button-down or on its own with jeans, trousers, or a skirt.

For a lighter option, try Closed’s 100% cashmere crew neck vest. It has a slim-fit silhouette, so you can tuck it into a pair of jeans or trousers for a polished and put-together look.

Wrap yourself in luxury with Liviana Conti’s double zip collared duster. This timeless knit is made from a soft cashmere blend, giving it a soft, warm, and cozy feel. Plus, it has an oversized fold-over collar that makes this cardigan far from ordinary. Unlike some dusters, this one has a full zip-front closure, so you have that extra coverage when temperatures drop.

Round out your knitwear collection with Liviana Conti’s high neck quarter zip sweater. The heavyweight cashmere blend feels substantial without sacrificing comfort. You can throw it over your workout clothes after you've finished a class, or dress it up with a maxi skirt and head out for drinks and dinner.

Natural Earth Hues

Inspired by the colors found in nature, this season's palette leans into warm browns, smoky grays, rich greens, and other versatile neutrals that pair effortlessly with the rest of your wardrobe.

Start from the ground up by swapping traditional black heels for a softer neutral. The Maelle pump from L’Agence comes in a smoky gray suede reminiscent of slate stone.  They have a sleek pointed toe that’s great for elongating your legs and a memory foam cushioned insole that keeps you comfortable throughout the day.

A rich brown leather jacket is another investment you'll reach for season after season. The ba&sh Mella jacket is a collarless, cropped version made from goatskin leather. Its rich color is perfect for fall and complements other neutrals so you can mix and match your layers.

For denim, look beyond classic blue. L’Agence’s Selma High Rise Baby Boot Coated jean comes in a deep pine green with a premium coated finish that gives it a subtle sheen. Style it with a simple white tee and strappy heels for an elevated casual look.

If you have a fall wedding or special event on your calendar, Twinset’s flutter sleeve dress is an easy choice. The satin maxi silhouette moves beautifully, while the rich brown hue and delicate animal print capture the earthy color palette that's defining the season.

Utility-inspired styles continue to be a fall favorite, especially in dress form. Derek Lam 10 Crosby's Brady Stretch Cotton Twill Utility Dress combines structured tailoring with everyday ease through its defined waist, oversized pockets, and silver snap-button details. Dress it up with heels for dinner or keep it casual with sneakers or boots for an effortless daytime look.

Classic Transitional Tailoring

Structured dressing is making a strong return this fall, but it's softer and more wearable than in seasons past.

A tailored blazer is one of the easiest ways to embrace the trend. Closed's Blazer Coat offers the look of classic menswear in a lightweight stretch wool blend. It also has a slim silhouette that layers comfortably over everything from dresses to denim.

If you're searching for something a little more refined, the Smythe Patch Pocket One Button Blazer delivers timeless tailoring with modern details like a distinctive patch pocket and subtle cut-away hem.

Tailored trousers are equally versatile. Smythe's Berlin Cropped Straight Leg Pant pairs a polished fit with cropped, cuffed hems that put your favorite shoes on display. It’s an easy choice for the office, dinner, or weekend outings.

For a more casual take, FRAME's The Icon Trouser combines the comfort of denim with the clean lines of tailored pants. Style them with a crisp, white button-up, brown belt, and suede pump for a classic, chic look.

Tailoring isn't limited to separates, either. The Shirt by Rochelle Behrens Wrap Front Dress brings the same polished feel to a flattering fit-and-flare silhouette, complete with a self-tie waist and the brand's signature No Gape® button technology.

Scarves and Accessories

Sometimes the easiest way to update your wardrobe isn't with a new outfit at all. Thoughtfully chosen accessories can introduce texture, warmth, and personality while giving your favorite fall staples a fresh perspective.

Start with a statement handbag. Handcrafted in Italy, the American Dreams Aubrey Bag pairs a soft mohair body with premium leather details for a look that's equal parts cozy and refined. Carry it by the top handle or attach the crossbody strap for hands-free versatility throughout the day.

As temperatures continue to cool, accessories need to be practical. The American Dreams Louis Wool Gloves offer lightweight warmth with a timeless design that's easy to wear with everything from tailored coats to casual jackets.

A scarf is another accessory that works overtime throughout the season. Zadig & Voltaire's Kerry Vintage Bandana Scarf adds a subtle pop of pattern with its classic bandana print, while the lightweight modal fabric makes it easy to wear around your neck, drape over your shoulders, or tie onto your favorite handbag for an unexpected finishing touch.

Footwear

No fall wardrobe is complete without the right shoes. This season, classic silhouettes are getting subtle updates that make them easy to wear and style.

Find your new everyday staple with the Sam Edelman Louella Tailored Flat. The loafer-inspired mule features a sleek almond toe and backless silhouette that slips on with ease. It’s a natural pairing for trousers, dresses, skirts, and jeans alike.

For days that call for a little more coverage, the L'Agence Lilly Ankle Boot delivers timeless style with a modern edge. The glossy crinkle patent leather, pointed toe, and walkable kitten heel create a refined look that’s comfortable and chic.

Western influences continue to have a place this fall, but in a more understated way. Liviana Conti's Mid Calf Western Boot offers a sleek interpretation of the trend with its pointed snip toe, low stacked heel, and streamlined silhouette. Crafted from premium leather, it's a versatile finishing piece that pairs effortlessly with everything from flowing dresses to classic denim.
