Since taking the reins at Saint Laurent in 2016, Anthony Vaccarello has focused his energy on the brand’s stunning ready-to-wear shows in Paris—including the now famous Spring 2018 show held in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. But those Instagrammable moments haven’t distracted from Saint Laurent’s clothing, especially its pre-season collections, which have been making their way into Saint Laurent’s stores with little fanfare—until now.

For the first time since Vaccarello was installed, Saint Laurent is circulating a pre-season lookbook, filled with what you could call wardrobe essentials—if your wardrobe is made up of slim, slinky things and bohemian blouses. Arriving in stores this week, the Saint Laurent Pre-Fall collection is meant to “realistically echo the way women dress in today’s global world,” according to a release. Included are a wide swath of options, from velvet Le Smoking blazers and studded leather miniskirts to a gold lamé minidress and effortless, tomboyish blazers cut with a boxy shape. There’s plenty of leopard print, in dress and boot form, and a new slouchy boot shape with tassel trim to set off those leather shorts or micro minidresses.

Our recommendation: Don’t sleep on the enormous black fur trapper hat or the azure velvet blazer worn with it.
