Spring Summer 2026 Collection | Cotton Dresses & Kimonos
The Spring/Summer 2026 collection is all about effortless dressing. Breathable fabrics, relaxed shapes, and pieces you can slip on in minutes — but still look polished in.
This is our editor’s edit for both women and men: a refined mix of cotton dresses, handblock kimonos, and lightweight robes made to be worn again and again. The kind of staples you grab on busy mornings, take on holiday, and keep reaching for on slow, easy evenings.
Lightweight cotton layers just make sense between spring and summer. Some mornings still feel crisp, and evenings can turn cool without warning. A dress that works on its own, or a robe you can throw over the basics, gives you that extra comfort without adding weight.
At its heart, this season is about pieces that move with you — wherever the day takes you.
What Defines the Spring Summer 2026 Style Mood
Lightweight layering
- Kimonos as easy throw-on layers for cooler mornings and breezy evenings
- Robes that double as beach cover-ups and indoor loungewear
- Dresses that work solo in summer heat or layered in spring
Layering this season isn’t heavy or structured. It’s fluid. Think soft cotton over a tank. A silk kimono over a tee and shorts. A robe that works at home and poolside.
Texture & craft details
- Hand block printing
- Patchwork panels and hand stitching
- Waffle cotton textures
There’s a clear shift toward craft. Handmade details create visual interest without loud branding. A block-printed stripe or a stitched patchwork panel says more than a logo ever could.
Effortless silhouettes
- Maxi and midi shapes that allow movement
- Relaxed fits ideal for travel, weekends, and resort wear
Comfort is not an afterthought. It’s the starting point. Long lines, soft gathers, breathable cuts. Pieces that don’t cling or restrict.
