As it goes, we spend all of March and April—and sometimes even May—not-so-patiently waiting for winter to escort itself out as quickly as possible in the hopes of expediting summer weather. But as soon as we have a few 90-plus degree days in a row, we’re calling for fall. Luckily, the elusive autumnal breeze isn’t that far off, but you don’t have to wait until temps dip into the 60s to enjoy a few of next season’s most popular trends.
And no, we’re not thinking of emulating the totally out-there runway moments like head-to-toe space-age getups (lookin’ at you, Christopher Kane). Nor are we setting our sights on trends like wool fiddler hats or statement furs just yet (we’re sweating just thinking about ‘em). Instead, we’re looking toward the top fall styling ideas that you can wear now without looking like you’re so over summer.
Ahead, five fall 2017 trends that you can pull off right this second.
Circle Sunglasses
If Instagram is any indication, circle sunnies—the eyewear silhouette du jour—are about to hit peak popularity. Grab a unique pair before they sell out.

Sock Boots
Ah, the boot that spawned a million knockoffs. If Balenciaga's hot pink sock bootie isn't your cup of tea, try a similarly on-trend style in a more subdued color.

The New Wristlet
Every middle-schooler worth her salt had a Coach wristlet (or, at least, a passable fake)—but this year's iteration is less preppy and more insouciant.

Suits were a near-constant on the fall runways, but even if you're not into the head-to-toe look, opt for a boxy, stand-alone blazer that you can wear now with denim shorts and a tee.
