The Summer Fashion Trends to Know for 2026
A fresh sartorial season is upon us, so let Liberty guide you towards its biggest and best trends
By: Team Liberty
In sun-soaked days and long, languid afternoons, Liberty looks to the art of summer. A time to revel in the delicate details and crafted moments that combine into a season that’s yours for the making.
This year, Liberty invites you to adorn each summer occasion with a smattering of artistry, as our summer store opens its doors once more, resplendant as ever with the trends and moods that define the season ahead. Textural vibrance, unexpectedly stylistic pairings, soft, whimsical finishes and a profusion of prints speak to moments defined by the power of making: where self-expression is key. Discover an edit of summer trends curated by our expert buying team, featuring creations from globally renowned brands and cult names-to-know crafting impeccably designed, sun-ready pieces: each with a hint of Liberty’s signature charm.
Enter Liberty’s summer world in our series of sun-drenched vignettes, shot on location on a balmy springtime afternoon in East Sussex. Hosted by Crafted at Powdermills, a country house and members club in East Sussex, where our summer scenes spring to life with avant-garde elegance.
Summer is made at Liberty: and these are the trends that define it.
Botanical Allure
Hazy botanics, ditzy motifs and hypnotic blooms: your next invitation (should you choose to accept) is to enter the floral dreamscape that designers have cultivated for the new season. Created to evoke a verdant utopia that grows wild with dense foliage and mesmerising colour, look to Beulah, Doen, Rixo and Liberty (of course) for floral prints that seem to unfurl right before your eyes.

A Scarf Renaissance
If you ask us, a Liberty scarf is the ultimate finishing flourish for your outfit: a pop of colour, an added dash of sophistication and just a hint of playfulness thanks to our array of bold archival prints. For summer 2026, the power of the scarf is only increasing, and those in the sartorial know are not just adding them to every outfit, but making scarves an outfit in themselves. Whether you tie around your neck as an avant garde necklace alternative, wrap around your hair as an ever-so-elegant headband, craft yourself a halter top with your favourite design or simply find a scarf inspired print on a new season dress: the opportunities are endless.

Red is also set to dominate this season’s palette, but forget the colour’s muted shades. Instead, this trend demands a more-is-more mindset. From jewellery and cardigans ablaze in candy red to scarlet bags and scarves that’ll add a little pep to any and every outfit, whichever red pieces find their way into your rotation, do remember this: fortune favours the bold.

Boho Rhapsody
No longer the preserve of festival fields and Camden Streets, boho dressing is back: and this time, it’s undergone a sophisticated update. While 1970s inspirations, clashing colours, floaty lengths and a cavalcade of textural delights remain key – this time around the boho aesthetic is a touch more refined. Fabrics are elevated to the finest silks and luxurious linens, crafted details are honed by artisans using time-honoured techniques and prints encapsulate a refined sense of artistry. Rixo’s latest collection, made with Liberty Fabrics, encapsulates the new boho to a tee. Simply add a Dragon Diffusion tote and a Coloma’s skirt and consider yourself a modern bohemian.

Cloud Dancer
Over recent years a less-is-more mindset has swept through fashion, with monochromatic palettes reigning supreme. This year, however, things are taking a more dramatic turn. All-white looks remain at the top of the style agenda, but with a twist: impactful sillhouettes, dramatic shapes, textural detailing and romantic ruffles are taking this most muted shade far away from its minimalist origins.
