New Arrivals

Prada’s Route bag has landed and found its way onto the arms of the world’s It-girls. While the brown canvas iteration offers old school safari vibes, the off-white version is ideal for city living. Elsewhere, if the capri pant trend feels a little too Y2K, consider Khaite’s sophisticated straight-leg shorts, which will pair nicely with your favourite ballet pumps.

Summer might still feel like a way away, but AllSaints’s asymmetric cream slip dress will still look great layered over wide-leg jeans and loafers for cooler spring days. Fast forward to June and M&S’s rope sandals will be a great substitute when the mercury rises. Givenchy’s new-in Voyou Bucket, meanwhile, will look great all-year round.

Last season’s balloon jeans have become silken balloon trousers for summer 2026’s. And Suzie Kondi’s voluminous black pair are smart enough to work outside the confines of a balmy beach holiday. For weekends in the city, simply add Proenza Schouler’s stripe top and Christopher Esber’s crystal sandals and Cos’s sleek leather tote.

The boat neckline and three-quarter length sleeves of Flore Flore’s white top has sent me straight back to the ’90s. I recommend leaning into the mood by styling it with Peachy Den’s Y2K-inflected cargo trousers and flip-flops. Dries Van Noten’s beaded bag, meanwhile, will add a much-needed dose of sophistication.

Ladies-who-lunch jackets are everywhere right now – thanks to Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel revamp – and the fringe trimming on Zara’s monochrome iteration keeps the look from feeling too prim and proper. Styling-wise, stay in high-low territory with wide-leg jeans and Jimmy Choo’s frayed sandals.

If you buy one pair of casual trousers this summer, make it a khaki barrel-leg. An easy alternative to jeans, this weekend-ready staple will pair well with everything from tanks and shirts to delicate broderie tops. All Saints’s camo-printed style has the ideal slouchy fit.

Give longline shorts a polished twist in minimalist cream, as seen in the below French Connection pair. Keep it from falling into “ladies who lunch” territory by styling with a layered jersey top (Navy Grey’s new-in style comes in multiple colourways), a bomber jacket and flatform flip-flops.

The Y2K cargo has transcended Gen-Z territory and has now become a verified everyday staple. Style this Rhude menswear (a good hack for taller women or those wanting more slouch) pair with a loose-fitting striped shirt, a woven bag from Rixo X Dragon Diffusion’s latest collection and a pair of Bottega sunnies.

Whether you’re travelling this Bank Holiday weekend or just looking for something comfy to mooch around the house in, minimalist basics are a no-brainer this time of year – or any time of year, for that matter. Peachy Den’s Renee trousers have the perfect slouch that will pair easily with lightweight knits (see Prada’s grey V-neck) and tank tops alike.

If there was any doubt about the elevating powers of a good denim skirt, allow me to present you with AllSaints’s asymmetric, raw- hemmed mini. Far from the staid styles that often populate this category, this offbeat take would not look look amiss on a runway. Pair with a smart shirt and orthopedic clogs for seirous JW Anderson vibes.

Leandra Medine’s partnership with Zara is full of the sort of versatile city-ready staples that cool-girls from London to New York will be desperate to get their hands on. At the top of our list is the leather wrap skirt, which will supercharge your favourite white tank top. For eveningwear, consider stepping it up a notch with a pair of cream-coloured heeled pumps.

Balance a floaty lace miniskirt with a boyish plaid shirt and Birkenstock’s Naples suede slip-on loafers. A Paddington bag, meanwhile, provides the perfect finishing touch. Dress-wise, Aligne and & Other Stories have delivered on monochromatic, minimalist styles this season.

Pink shirting is having a moment this season, and Tibi’s striped, high-neck version offers a back-to-front twist on the workwear staple. Style with Cos’s A-line wrap skirt and minimalist monochrome accessories: see FitFlop’s button flip-flops and Sophie Buhai’s pendant necklace.

Rohe’s cream and red check co-ord should be your go-to for easy, pulled-together spring styling. Wear it for work with sleek ballet pumps, hoop earrings and a top-handle bag (a vintage Bottega Veneta will fit the bill), then try fisherman sandals for low-key weekend dressing.

Layering needn’t be reserved for winter months. A draped shirt dress – as seen in the chocolate-coloured Massimo Dutti style below – will slip effortlessly over Cos’s silk-satin trousers and a pair of colour-pop flip-flops. Finish the look with a craftcore tote bag courtesy of Staud.

Balmy April weather calls for midi-skirts and lightweight jackets. Let & Other Stories’s cream-coloured A-line and Barbour’s checked funnel-neck be your first port of call for a balanced, transitional silhouette. Ancient Greek Sandals’s zesty flip-flops, meanwhile, provide the perfect injection of spring greens.

The layered dress isn’t going anywhere for summer 2026, and Nanushka’s polo-neck maxi has the ideal proportions for slipping over a pair of jeans and ballet flats. It will also look the part with leather sandals and sunnies on a summer holiday. Now that’s what we call versatile.

The “haute hippie” look is sticking around for 2026, which is great news for the balloon trousers hanging in your wardrobe. Massimo Dutti’s checked pair will feel city-ready with a suede jacket – see: Whistles’s toffee-coloured, gathered style – and kitten-heeled sandals.

Get to grips with gingham this season with Zara’s tablecloth-coded trench coat – the perfect addition to your summer cords. Speaking of cords, Cos has just dropped the perfect flared pair in a sandy shade of beige. Size up for a low-slung slouch, then finish with Julietta’s boho shell necklace.

Pastels can feel too saccharine for some. This season, offset a silken slip dress in dusty rose by throwing it on over ripped jeans and sneakers. A chartreuse-coloured midi-skirt, when styled with a ribbed knit and ballet pumps, also avoids being overly sweet.

With its roomy fit and bold cobalt hue, the rest of Victoria Beckham’s spring/summer 2026 show was almost overshadowed by this one excellent canvas jacket. Go bare-legged and add big sunnies, or keep it simple with ecru denim and a grey V-neck.

Navigate the cool mornings and warmer days with Doen’s nightie-inspired minidress layered under a berry-red V-neck sweater. Stick to biker boots for the rest of spring then consider swapping in pumps or fisherman sandals come summer.

Simple layers make for easy weekend dressing. See: Reiss’s classic straight-leg true blues, Kallmeyer’s long-sleeved white top and Mango’s spin on the high-neck jacket trend. Finish it all off with Miu Miu’s ’90s-coded oval sunnies and streamlined sneakers.

Utility separates take on an elevated edge this season, thanks to brands, such as Loewe, who are introducing sculptural silhouettes and premium fabrics to the practical trend. On the high-street, look to Zara or & Other Stories for cool capris and utility jackets.

PSA: M&S’s spring jacket edit is looking pretty tempting this season, particularly when it comes to bombers. I love the neck-tie detail on this butter-yellow style. Elsewhere, Dries Van Noten just keeps delivering in the sneaker department, as evidenced by the below red and white pair, which have just the right amount of bowling shoe vibe about them.

Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s new Loewe vision is now landing in stores, and this draped minidress gives a whole new spin on a classic LBD with its sculptural layered fabric. Dress it up for cocktail hour with pointed kitten heels, silver jewellery and a colour-pop bag.

Everyone’s talking about Love Story right now, and we can’t help but let it inspire our wardrobes this season, too. Make like Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and slip on a pair of straight-leg jeans with a preppy, men’s-inspired shirt – be it a button-up polo or more tailored iteration (see Arket’s Wall Street-coded pinstriped style). Finish the look with oval sunnies and ballet pumps.

Stripes and knee-length skirts are two staples on our wishlists for spring 2026, and luckily there are plenty of options to be found on the high street, most notably at Cos. Elsewhere, big sunnies reign supreme, and Loewe has really nailed the brief with its tortoiseshell pair.

Sometimes you can’t go wrong with a classic striped shirt, and Tommy Hilfiger can always be relied on to deliver a timeless spin. Elsewhere, Zara has presented a directional take on the classic denim skirt with a head-turning asymmetrical silhouette – just add a crew-neck knit now and a tank top come summer.
