And so it goes with the commencement of Summer, fashion designers start to reveal their Fall collections. I get particularly excited about it because the Fall season is the most fashionable to me. Here is a quick peek at what Gucci has in store for the upcoming Fall season.

Wool Double-Breasted Trenchcoat, Merino Ribbed Turtleneck Top & Wool Skinny Flare Pant

Peacock blue! Jewel tones are still in, and I am so in love with them. I finally found the perfect magenta wool coat, and I was looking for one in turquoise. I knew it was a long shot, and I didn’t find one. The preview of this collection gives me a glimmer of hope however. There is a particular cream sweater dress I have that is in desperate need of a turquoise layer.

Triangle Print Silk Dress

I only have one silk dress, which is regrettable since silk makes for some of the most beautiful clothes.

Viscose Jersey Belted Dress

Classic red dress! I found out long ago that there is so much you can do with a red dress. So many options to color-block with accessories and outerwear.

Leaves Jacquard Wool Coat, Satin Georgette Shirt & Felted Herringbone Ankle Pant

Cropped pants! The embroidered coat has me piqued my interest. When I think of blatant floral embroidery, I think of quilts, hideous PVC sofas, and the dresses my mom used to make me wear. This is something altogether different. I am loving this with the red details.

Leaves Print Silk Cape Shirt & Black Stretch Cotton Skinny Pant

A silk cape is just the most ingenious thing. I am not one for bulky sweater capes, not everything looks flattering on everyone unfortunately. A cape in a silk fabric would give you such a nice and fluid movement though. Love it, and the new “leaves” print.

Leaves Print Embroidered Silk Gown

Simply stated, If I was a celebrity going to an event; this is the dress I would pick.

Merino Ribbed Crewneck Top & Leather Panel Skirt

The leather skirt. How elusive it is for me! I almost bought a black leather Bagatelle pencil skirt not too long ago, I ultimately decided against it as it still was not a very good fit. It is difficult to get a leather skirt tailored. I think a skirt with this silhouette would be easier to wear. I detect a bit of a Western/Bohemian vibe to this outfit.

Embroidered Leather Dress

This leather dress is embroidered with studs. Was there ever such a statement?

Double Wool Wrap Coat, Oversized Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater & Wool Flannel Skinny Flare Pant

This would be too  much khaki except for the fact that the ensemble is paired with a dark contrasting shoe.

Bamboo Shopper Large Calf Hair Tote Bag, Chocolate

I was thinking there was going to be a Western feel to some of the pieces this year. You can’t get anymore Western themed than with this bag. I like the incorporation of the bamboo handles. Gucci also did the bamboo handles for the Spring collection bags.

Miss Bamboo Medium Python Bucket Bag, Multi

The bucket bag+snake skin print= the it bag of the season. I am calling it, let’s see if I am right. This one goes beyond the basic with not only the bamboo handle as well, but with the addition of a removable chain strap.

Linea B Python Medium Shoulder Bag, Pink Multicolor

It looks like the mini, chain strap cross-body bags are not going anywhere anytime soon. I still cannot bring myself to invest in too many, as I do not use them that often. I just carry too much stuff on a regular basis. Gucci does this snake skin print wonderfully. Personally I like snake skin print, but it is a tricky trend to do without looking tacky. This mini bag is subtle and just enough statement.

Leather And Knit Biker Jacket, Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater & Stone Washed Stretch Ripped Denim Pant

Edgy and chic, tailored leather jackets with distressed and ripped denim. This is a trend that I like with a feminine touch, such as a pair of stilettos. I am detecting there will be nuances of fringe from last Fall in other collections this year as well. Fringe details are a love em or leave em sort of thing, but I think they would compliment this particular look.

Felted Bonded Herringbone Peacoat, Wool-Mohair Embroidered Jacquard Sweater, Octagonal Jacquard Satin Embroidered Shirt, Stone Washed Stretch Ripped Denim Pant

This look is made softer around the edges with a feminine bag and classic Jacquard sweater.

Octagonal Jacquard Wool Embroidered Coat, Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater & Wool Skinny Flare Pant

This is the perfect example of the sophisticated elegance I love about Fall fashion. The feminine cut of this one just lends even more to its classiness. I really am excited to see what is going on in footwear to compliment these pants other than the shoes shown.

Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater & Octagonal Jacquard 1960s Pant

I am bereft that Mad Men is officially over. One of the reasons why is because I will not get to see the fabulous costumes they get to wear. I am so in love with these pants. The entire outfit is just….everything.

Wool Octogonal Jacquard Dress

Betty Draper would wear this!

Compact Viscose Jersey Dress

I am not sure that you can have too many black dresses. My husband would say that they all look too similar. This is a man’s perspective. They are all actually going to be different in some way. This one for example is a classy mock-neck that gives it just enough detail. I am not sure that you even need anything else with an outfit like this.

Viscose Stretch Knit Dress

See completely different! I love the pleating!

Wool Coat, Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater & Wool Skinny Flare Pant

Head to toe black with a contrasting cream coat just makes the most sense. I am not sure that I even have a black turtleneck sweater. This is going to be critical mass come Fall. It always happens to me that the one thing I am looking for specifically, I cannot seem to find.

What do you think of the Gucci pre-fall collection?
