I love shopping for fall clothing and prepping my pre-fall wardrobe. There’s something about fall colors, plus I love wearing cozy sweaters and new jeans! I always start by adding these new basics; they’re the foundation of a casual wardrobe, and once you have the right basics, it’s much easier to put outfits together. Here are some items I’ve purchased and others that have caught my eye for a pre-fall casual wardrobe.
Jeans
Updating your denim is a great way to make your pre-fall wardrobe look modern and up-to-date. Wide-leg jeans are trending and are popular in both long and cropped styles. And, of course, dark denim is always a must-have color for fall.
I just picked up the Colette Wide-Leg Cropped Jean in dark denim. It’s a favorite style—it fits true to size—has stretch, and is available in Petites, regular, tall, and plus sizes. It does have a high rise, so if you are petite, I suggest getting a petite size. These are jeans for all ages; my 36-year-old daughter and I agree we like this style.
If you like petite jeans, you might like the Frame Le Pixie Palazzo wide-leg Jean. Also, I wear the Paige Anessa and the Frame Le Slim Palazzo Jeans here and here and like both styles. These are great choices for the upcoming season.

Brown or Green Jeans
Try adding colored denim to your wardrobe, like brown and green—these are trending fall colors! I just picked up the Everlane Utility pant below. I love it. It runs big, so size down if you are in between sizes. I also like the brown Frame Palazzo jeans, and I’ve heard good things about the Gap jeans.

Pre-Fall Sweaters
Sweater season is almost here, and I’ve found some layering pieces you might like adding to your pre-fall wardrobe!
J.Crew Warwick Sweater | Quince Striped Cotton Sweater | Sezane Gaspard Cardigan | Sezane Emile | Everlane Boxy Polo | Frank & Eileen Monterey | Quince Vest
Wear the chic Warwick sweater instead of a blazer or when you want to dress up your denim. It runs big, I usually wear an Xs, and I sized down in this Sweater.
A friend told me about Quince a few years ago, and I liked everything I purchased from them. I love striped sweaters, and this style caught my eye. You might also like this short-sleeved style. I like the fit, and it’s a great option for pre-fall. Plus, try this cotton fisherman style or the cashmere fisherman style, which is a must-have for cooler weather.
For a lighter-weight layer, try the trend: a vest on its own or over a T-shirt.
I love anything from Sezane, and these cardigans are pretty layering options. My daughter and I both wear the Sezane Emile, and the Gaspard cardigan is so sweet it’s on my list. Plus, you can wear it two ways. Both styles are available in multiple colors. I also recommend the Sezane Tomboy shirt, a favorite button-up in various colors and stripes.
