January/February 2026

Summer is the perfect time to bring playful patterns into your wardrobe, from bold mixed prints to three-dimensional embroidery and appliqué.

The clash

Go bold with mixed prints. If you're unsure, stick to pieces in the same colour family - or take the easy route and choose a fabric that blends the motifs for you, like this one with florals, geometrics and painterly foliage.

Summer is the perfect time to bring playful patterns into your wardrobe, from bold mixed prints to three-dimensional embroidery and appliqué.

Tropicana

Tropical prints aren't just for Hawaiian shirts. This season, they get a luxe update with slightly blurred, more abstract florals and palm leaves. The overall effect feels elevated, and this structured shirt-dress with its floral edging shows just how sophisticated tropical print can be.

The BOOK THIEF

Our daughter, Twenty-Five, is standing in front of me, bristling with indignation. Unusually, this time it's not me who has given her the giant pip; it's her brother, Twenty-Six. Apparently he lent two of her favourite books to someone, and when she wanted them back, he couldn't remember who.
