Pre-Fall Favorites – Julia Berolzheimer

Etro Sweater (more sizes here), Dior Shirt (similar, less expensive here), Valentino Skirt (on sale here and here), Chanel Flats (old, similar here), Celine Sunglasses (old, similar here, less expensive here)

Our recent visit to San Francisco brought a welcome change in weather, with pleasantly cooler days that let me wear pre-fall styles earlier than expected. The palette, drawing from a soon-to-be autumn landscape, leans into rust, moss, ochre, deep brown, and slate, setting the tone for pieces that feel grounded yet bold. Sleek knits, soft suedes, sharp jackets with unexpected details, and subtle touches of leather and black are standing out right now. There’s something compelling in the contrast, structured shapes paired with softened tones, that offers a fresh, defined way to step into the season ahead.
