7 Top Trends From the Pre-Fall 2021 Collections
Unsurprisingly, comfort is still king.
Just because you've been wearing the same clothes since March doesn't mean there haven't been seasonal changes in trends. Some brands skipped the most recent fashion month, others decided to abandon the traditional calendar all together — but still, many forge on, which brings us to Pre-Fall 2021, a traditionally lucrative, if not technically real, season. Designers have been releasing their visions for pre-fall since late last year, and we're now able to get a feel for what the major themes and takeaways from the collections are.
Comfort is still king, as people continue to stay at home amid an ongoing global pandemic — and that translates to both the silhouettes we see come up again and again as well as key fabrics. The florals reflect the times we live in, but the breakout color of the season feels optimistic. Check out all the top trends from Pre-Fall 2021 in the galleries, below.

It'll come as no surprise that The Brands are expecting customers will want to dress comfortably (and for a stay-at-home lifestyle) well into 2021. So they're suggesting fancy daytime pajamas that you won't feel strange wearing for any and all virtual functions, made from silky fabrics, striped cotton poplins and even dark florals (another big trend for Pre-Fall 2021).

How does one continue to update one of the most classic, anticipated prints in fashion? You render them in colors that match our overall outlook on *gestures broadly*. For Pre-Fall 2021, that means the florals feel a little darker and moodier —think red with black, pale pink with grey, cream and burgundy.

Not all of Pre-Fall 2021 is gloomy: Plenty of designers are turning to brighter, eye-grabbing colors, especially yellows. (Pantone told us to expect this.)
