The easiest way to ease into fall? Opt for directional pieces that make your existing wardrobe feel new again. This season, that means lightweight trenches, shrunken knitwear, and accessories that lend even the simplest summer staples a distinctly autumnal spirit. (That Bordeaux-hued Balenciaga Rodeo, we’re looking at you.) Across the collections, brands like Loewe and Fendi are revisiting fall signatures from fur and corduroy to denim, often with a hint of Wild West flair. Whether it’s Victoria Beckham’s return-to-office-ready midi dress or a polka-dotted pussybow blouse from Stella McCartney, all the pieces ahead are designed to work with bare legs and heeled sandals now, then layer seamlessly with all the fall fixtures once the temperature drops.
