What is Pre-Fall?

And how do you dress for it?

Commonly used in retail & fashion, and not so commonly used in everyday conversation – pre-fall can be summed up as the little sliver of time between summer and fall. When summer is not quite over, but the general shift in season and style is felt all around.

 The key to nailing pre-fall is to layer strategically and to perfect the method of mixing different fabric weights and textures to take you seamlessly from one season into another. Below are our top transition picks for pre-fall.

Thomas Mason Cotton Shirt

The perfect shirt for any season, Thomas Mason’s Journey Cotton is wrinkle resistant so it can last through any day – in any season. A breathable piece that goes great under a blazer or more casually with jeans or chinos.

Zegna Green Denim Trousers

The ultimate transition trouser – wearable in all seasons and all occasions! Made from 100% wool, these trousers are incredibly durable, and can be dressed easily for the office or for a relaxing weekend.

Loro Piana Navy Travel Jacket

Obviously a blazer is necessary for all seasons. Our Loro Piana Travel Jacket can be worn easily to meetings or cocktail hour. The hopsack weave on this jacket, in a wool & cashmere blend is able to provide breathability and warmth when needed. There is also no lining, shoulder padding or canvassing.
