Since many of us may be looking for something to distract from the fact that winter vaca is over, may we suggest the delightful Pre-Fall collections? Like the amuse-bouche of fashion, Pre-Fall is a time for designers to flex their commercial muscles, while giving us a sneak peek of what’s going to hit runways in T-minus one month. So far it’s looking good: Glamourous magpies are in at Gucci, J.W. Anderson’s shoulders are on steroids, and at Fendi, Karl Lagerfeld, the man who once proclaimed that sweatpants were a sign of “giving up on life,” is now championing ultra-fuzzy platform slippers and bathrobe coats. Heyo!
But since these beauties don’t hit stores until May, we’re giving you ways to opt for the looks—now. Farewell mid-January outfit slump!

If you’ve left your coulottes in the closet for winter, why not bring ’em back out by layering tights underneath for warmth.

While layering thick socks under boots is winter 101, this designer-approved look gives it new cred.

You probably had a sweater like this when you were 4 years old that you were forced to give away—a decision that will forever haunt your adult life. Hunt down its twin at Value Village and layer with leather.

When in doubt, throw a turtleneck under your nightie and call it a day.

A hybrid of Phoebe Buffay and your grandma, Gucci’s Pre-Fall girl is basically already in your closet. You just never thought to blend a slip dress with a nubby sweater.

Light jeans aren’t just for summertime, ladies: layer ’em up with thigh high boots for a look that screams Vivian Ward.

If your winter sweaters don’t already have a conveniently poofed sleeve (why wouls they?), layer a vintage blouse underneath to add some volume.

Reclaiming the tie after the dark days of Avril Lavigne (It’s been over a decade. We’ve finally healed).

Since you’re already wearing oversized sweaters like it’s your profession, why not pair one with a lighter-weight summer skirt on a hump day?

Not like you needed another excuse to wear your PJs outside but hey, here’s another.
