Pre Fall Wardrobe Staples You Need Now


How is it August already?! I can’t believe how fast the summer has gone by, and Pre Fall fashion trends are already here! If you’re prepping your wardrobe for late summer vacations, apple-picking trips, and cool temps, here’s what you need to be shopping now…


Cottagecore Floral Dresses

Romantic fall florals that are still light enough for those last summer days are a hit this year, and one of my favorite ways to wear this trend is through cottage-core-inspired dresses! Cottagecore is all about that vintage sweetness and femininity, and nothing is more versatile for fall than a slip dress! You can wear it on its own for still-warm afternoons, but layer up sweaters or denim jackets for chilly evenings.


Plus, a floral slip dress can take you anywhere in terms of styling. From end-of-the-season weddings to casual dinner dates, they’re wardrobe must-haves! My current favorite cottage-core-inspired floral slip dress is the Frankie Floral Print Silk Dress in Green from Reformation (Shop here on ModeSens ). This dress is such a beautiful shade of green, and will work well into the fall months!


Gingham Prints

As seen in Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, gingham has become one of the biggest trending prints for fall. Versatile, cozy (yet light), and romantically rustic, gingham is the print of the season. This print pairs well with florals, abstract patterns, and colors, so you know investing in some quality gingham print pieces will serve you well! Reformation is one of my favorite brands this year, and they have a great selection of pre-fall-ready prints like gingham.


My top favorite gingham pick from Reformation is the Orzo Linen Two Piece in Challah Check (that I’m wearing above!). This set is great to wear together or separately, and both the skirt and top are beyond comfortable and flattering! Shop this set here on ModeSens.


Two-Piece Coordinating Sets

Like the Reformation set I’m wearing above, two-piece sets are having a major moment in fashion for pre-fall! I’m personally a huge fan of coordinating sets because they give you a lot of outfit possibilities for the cost: wear the top on its own, wear the bottoms on their own, or wear them together! You can mix and match two-piece sets with just about anything, which is especially helpful if you’re packing a capsule wardrobe for an upcoming trip or if you’re looking to streamline your closet. Trending in two-piece sets are linen fabrics, earthy tones, and comfortable pants.


You’ll want something mellow enough for the upcoming fall season, but still light and playful enough for the rest of summer. My top pick for a coordinating two-piece set is the Amir Linen Two Piece in Burlap from Reformation (shop here on ModeSens) I love this set because it’s neutral enough for a lot of versatile wear but still has a print to keep it fun. Plus, the burlap fabric and midi skirt bottom read instant fall vibes!
