You might have noticed that alongside the summer sales there is a "New Collection" section at the stores. It varies from brand to brand but these pieces tend to belong to the Pre-Fall Collection. Presented as early as the start of the current year at runway shows, they might be related to the coming fall trends, but are made of lighter fabrics that make them a perfect transeasonal choice. Colorwise, they are relevant for both seasons so you can be sure that they will match either seasonal pieces.

Pre-fall fashion pieces can even stay throughout the fall season in cities or countries where weather is not as stark and predictable. Even if part of a designer's collection include very warm pieces and materials, it will not necessarily reach every selling point. Product management enters at this point to determine which pieces do well according to the context and selling performance of each location in the world and even each local store.

The new season between seasons concept might be part of the industry's selling strategy, but is surely convenient and practical for the buyers. It can guarantee more use of purchased garments since it can be adapted to a variety of weather conditions. Moreover, considering the current climate changes and general unpredictability of them around the world, these seasons in between seasons are easy for all of us to take in.

It's as easy as the look above! Mix up denim pieces and create interesting layers that you can put on and take off as it gets warmer. By using the same denim color you create a polished look while combining dark denim with light denim will give you an edgy feel. Your favorite denim jacket will be your best friend this summer, or, if you're looking for a new one, take a look at my personal picks below - there are so many styles to choose from!

Loving the fresh look that a frayed cropped denim jacket can give to this linen skirt:

A denim coat is a key new piece to incorporate to your wardrobe: a trench look that is wearable through summer and fall and is not as casual as your everyday jacket.

Playing with lengths and denim finishes produces a totally unique result. An extra-long jacket paired with high-rise flared jeans in a darker shade and finish goes perfect with a staple 100% cotton shirt and trendy white boots.

A denim kimono is another key piece for summer that will be a great way to transition into fall. Pair it with contrasting white jeans and an intricate blouse for a timeless look. Finish it up with strap sandals and a trendy net bag. An easy to wear and stylish summer look in one shot.

Skirts: the epitome of chic and femininity are as strong as coats this fall. Focusing on the short side (knees abound) and full of detailing, a whole outfit can be produced around today's skirt. Accompany minis with the myriad of tights available or the all mighty thigh-high boots and you will be ready to enjoy the leafy season as if it were warm and sunny all day.

A short jacket or coat continues the frisky attitude while a longer or oversized one creates an unexpected balance: layers will provide the perfect temperature while adding character to the outfit. It's all about experimenting and finding a nouveau allure for the season, so don't be shy.

The cold and tough winter months need warmth: colors that calm the soul and help us keep going forward. Pantone®'s palette is full of contrasts and features four especially warm colors: American Beauty being the most notorious of them all, is meant to be a "feel-good" color and is used to complement edgy or quirky fashion. Honey Yellow brings the sunshine in while staying subdued and fit for winter, its fashion style is classic and feminine with a vintage feel. An interesting combination is created when matched with Burnt Sienna, a fall classic with a rusty twist in a base of orangey rose featured in frilly pieces with a retro touch.
Last but not least, comes the king of neutrals: Crème Brûlée. Frostier than our regular nudes, it becomes one of the most elegant hues in current styles. When paired with color, the result is impeccably chic, as it conveys joy amidst a challenging environment.

Not your easiest of looks to take to the red carpet, but it's done now - Jennifer Lawrence wore it to the Hunger Games' premiere. Trading toplessness for a 50s-like leotard, the all-sheer lavender dress from the Fall 2013 Dior Collection has made its appearance in real life.
The sheer trend is all the rage right now but will this be remembered as a 2010s faux pas in a few years time? See her look here and decide.

from Fall 2013's Christian Dior Collection - nymag.com


A tough look to digest and yet, we give Jennifer's bravery and her stylist a thumbs up.
