The inspiration behind this year's collection

Fashion

SS26

Overview: March/April Spring/summer fashion at Oliver Bonas is a celebration of life's simple joys, as we shift from the cold grey of winter and look to brighter, warmer days ahead. Spring styles bring a touch of romance and nostalgia and a wholesome, quintessentially British feel. Crafted artisanal details such as embroidery and cross-stitch blend with preppy knits and a nod to nautical, as well as those essential seasonal blooms. Traditional tablecloth designs continue to be a source of inspiration, informing the pattern and materials used throughout the collection. Details include sailor collars, clubhouse checks, floral motif jacquards and embroidery. New-season denim arrives in spring shades and relaxed silhouettes, and knitwear remains a focus with a super-fine gauge and fluffy yarns. The colour palette: soft, soothing neutrals of tan, stone and buttermilk build balance against muted mauve, dusky pinks and fresh green. Uplifting pops of crimson and cherry red cut through, while rich mocha and monochrome prints add depth.

Check out the inspo behind the designs in this short video, spanning March-June

Overview May/June As the temperature climbs, there’s a shift towards summer event styling, vacation prints and playful resort pieces, with a joyful Sicilian energy throughout. Spring’s feminine finishes and whimsical florals are joined by fun fruit motifs and punchy polka dots. Hand-crafted details continue to be important with a return to slower, traditional production techniques to create a quality product with lasting value. Raffia, linens and natural fabrics are key. Design details become bolder, with strong deckchair stripes, tablecloth checks and holiday-ready styles as we get ready to soak up the sun and make the most of alfresco living. The colour palette: Fresh green, uplifting citrussy shades and juicy tomato reds are balanced with mellow yellow, rich mocha and denim blue.

Clothing

Key Stories Floral prints make a confident return this season across blouses and smocked midi dresses, while barrel-leg silhouettes continue to lead the way on bottoms and jumpsuits. Print stories feel fresh and expressive, with denim checks and animal prints joined by the launch of spots on wovens - a key message throughout, delivered in fun yet wearable colourways. Bold red stripes, playful strawberries and subtle embroidery details elevate plain colours, alongside a mix of checks, stripes, classic spots, and new fruit prints to keep the mood light and joyful. New colourways refresh our signature seersucker checks and stripes, complemented by short lengths and lightweight denim in spring/summer hues, featuring in-house designs such as the Pomme print and embroidered strawberry. Lightweight summer checks continue into high summer with newness in shorts, the ongoing strength of co-ords, and the launch of our hero chicken Pollo print. High-summer dressing is further energised by fresh pinks and yellows across plains, prints, and stripes, with occasion-ready spot dresses and co-ordinated sets for summer events. Completing the story, vacay shirts and broderie styles take centre stage as key warm-weather essentials.

Bags

Key Stories Spring launches with a refreshed take on PU, reimagined in timeless core shapes, with red emerging as a key colour throughout against vibrant spring gingham and contrasting mono-gingham prints. Motifs bring personality to the collection, from the soft, feminine swan and Lily Stripe to the returning Snow Leopard, now updated with a co-ordinating tech case. New branded shoppers in bold spots and stripes add everyday impact, grounded by wearable tones of chocolate, denim blue and red that tie back to the wider clothing colour palette. Building on proven successes, a new spring patchwork collection arrives in fresh blue and pink colourways, introducing a small duffle and co-ordinating laptop styles. A playful fruit story led by strawberry motifs adds seasonal charm, enhanced by hand-crafted details such as cross-stitch and crochet-inspired finishes and balanced with clean monochrome prints.
