& Other Stories just dropped its 2026 Spring Collection, a fresh, modern wardrobe that blends expressive styling with meticulous design and a quiet, confident ease. Chief Creative Officer Jonathan Saunders says he drew on the restless energy of 1980s and 1990s new-wave youth culture, aiming to celebrate genuine bonds and friendships among women—honest and unpretentious.
The collection reimagines refined elegance by pairing precise tailoring with soft, fluid silhouettes. Standouts include tie- and scarf-print dresses, cashmere twinsets, and trench coats with bold, ’80s-inspired shoulder lines. Leather jackets layered over hoodies, barrel-shaped trousers, and knits loosely tied over wide-shouldered silk blouses create a striking tension between structured shoulders and voluminous bottoms.
A lively color story—anchored by cherry red, serenity blue, and ochre yellow—sits alongside grounded neutrals like gray and beige. Retro patterns are refreshed with contemporary sensibilities, balancing nostalgia and novelty. Thoughtful fabric pairings create subtle tension and depth: premium Italian wool sharpens the tailoring, fine-gauge cashmere and merino soften the knitwear, and silk pieces reveal feminine lines through graceful drape.
Accessories provide the finishing touches: a new signature bag silhouette, sleek pointed-toe leather shoes, bold gold and silver jewelry, and polished belts. Oversized acetate sunglasses and silk scarves sharpen the collection’s overall mood. & Other Stories’ 2026 Spring Collection is available in stores and on the brand’s official website.
