6 Pre-Fall 2024 Fashion Trends to Look Forward to in the New Year

Pre-Fall 2024 hasn’t been like other in-between seasons. It’s been unexpectedly newsy, with Balenciaga’s very L.A. (down to the Erewhon collaboration) Pre-Fall 2024 runway, Chanel’s rock-infused Métiers d’art show in Manchester and what ended up being Matthew M. Williams’ final collection for Givenchy. One thing we can always count on, though, with these pre-collections is a steady slate of new trends that brands are hoping will turn into commercial hits. 

Ahead, we highlight six standout Pre-Fall 2024 trends we foresee dominating next summer, from non-Peach Fuzz “it” colors to fresh takes on wardrobe staples.

Cherry Red

We can see all the Summer 2024 ‘fit pics — captioned with a string of cherry emojis — now: The punchy shade of red is well-represented across the pre-fall collections, favored by brands like Carolina Herrera, Rixo, Moschino and more on occasion dresses and suiting, especially. 

Grey 

On the other side of the color spectrum, grey emerges as the neutral of choice for Pre-Fall 2024. Alberta Ferretti, Valentino and St. John envision it head-to-toe, while labels like Balenciaga and Lapointe use it as an anchor shade to ground a look (like all good neutrals do). 

Mini Skirt Suits

When it comes to summertime suiting, it seems brands are aligned on the best approach: sharp tailored jacket plus mini skirt equals perfection. You’ll be able to take your pick from Givenchy, Ganni, Erdem, Chanel and more come Pre-Fall 2024. 

Personality Cardigans 

Why settle for a boring desk cardigan when your go-to button-front knit can make a statement? Etro‘s boast colorful prints (a Marco de Vincenzo staple) on oversized silhouettes, while Christopher John Rogers transfers the brand’s signature stripes across a variety of styles, including a surprising sweater dress. 

Brown Fur

Like the name suggests, Pre-Fall 2024 arrives in stores in the summer, ahead of autumn. However, the collections tend to run the gamut weather-wise. (How this adds more confusion around fashion’s “seasons” is a topic for another day.) That’s why we’re seeing lots of furry accents across runways and lookbooks, especially in plush shades of brown, from trims on jackets (Chanel, DSquared2, Moschino) to full-blown coats (Balenciaga, Diesel, Stella McCartney). 

Advanced Shirting 

These aren’t regular shirts — these are special shirts, a far cry from the button-downs you know: They’re tied up in different ways, they boast interesting cuts, they sparkle bright. Because getting dressed should always feel fun.
