Pre-Fall ’25 fabric trends: Denim plays a major role in RTW collections

Pre-fall bridges the high summer and first fall deliveries, dropping in-store as early as June/July. In addition to items that can be purchased and set aside for later months, consumers enjoy buying ‘wear now’ pieces. Consequently, denim played a major role in the Pre-Fall 25 collections. In addition to various jean styles, designers showed dresses, coats, jackets and skirts rendered in a variety of weights and washes. As we move into Fall 25 look for even more relaxed styles including pleated front denim pants.
