All of the Must-See Pre-Fall 2026 Looks You Probably Missed Due to the Holiday Chaos
While most of us love the holidays, this time of year can still be stressful and very time-consuming. From shopping for gifts for pretty much everyone you ever met to attending family get-togethers fraught with political tension, blood pressure readings are certainly on the rise. Since your to-do list is overwhelming, we decided to take one thing off that list by rounding up the best looks from the Pre-Fall 2026 collections.
’Tis the season of the often forgotten era, where most fashion houses present their latest in lookbook format. Except Chanel because, well, it’s Chanel. The Matthieu Blazy-led brand actually put on a runway show in the New York City subway. The designer continues his run of successfully navigating the house’s codes while providing innovative silhouettes and styling. (See Chanel’s Spring 2026 offering.) This time around, Blazy focused on stellar skirt suits more dress-code appropriate for a holiday party than the office. Some of our favorites include a red and white patterned pair enhanced by strategically-placed black fringe. Then there’s the tweed-tastic green set combined with a black turtleneck and a touch of bling. Last yet surely not least is a neon couple complete with a matching bag.
There are a few notable trends from the Pre-Fall 2026 collections. The gradient technique is back in fashion with several designers embracing the colorful concept. Etro leads the pack by using the visual tool for leather blazers along with a coordinating pleated skirt. The label even created a boho pleated dress with orange and bluish-purple accents. Not to be outdone, 3.1 Phillip Lim introduces not one, but two slouchy gradient bags with a real sunrise/sunset feel.
Showing some shoulder is also “in.” Demna pulls off an incredible balancing act with a one-shoulder black dress for Gucci that features a dramatic slit on the other side. The neckline on Armarium’s checked topper falls askew, allowing one shoulder to steal the spotlight. R13 takes the whole tying shirts or sweaters around your outfit to a whole new level with a perfectly grunge-y off-the-shoulder number. Silvia Tcherassi goes in another direction by giving us the cold shoulder.
Since it’s not spring, florals are allowed, although not exactly groundbreaking. Erdem’s range of bouquets are on the moodier side, fitting for a pre-fall lineup. Both Gucci and Etro put together conflicting flower patterns into one outfit. The former tops off a pleated midi skirt with a blooming button-down, The latter teams a ruffle-hem maxi skirt with a darker tank top. Baum und Pferdgarten went with a negative space print. While Stine Goya favored cherry blossoms for its off-the-shoulder, puff-sleeve maxi dress.
Without further ado, here are the best looks from the Pre-Fall 2026 collections.
