Studio Nicholson SS26 Collection Emphasizes Relaxed Silhouettes

— March 13, 2026 — Lifestyle
The Studio Nicholson SS26 collection continues founder and creative director Nick Wakeman’s focus on garments designed around movement, tactility, and understated structure. The Studio Nicholson SS26 collection features lightweight shirts, crushed viscose, broken herringbone, polished cotton, and grained leather, materials selected to emphasize how clothing moves and feels on the body. Transitional outerwear anchors the lineup, with lightweight parkas, short jackets, and relaxed coats designed for seasonal layering alongside the brand’s signature modular tailoring pieces.

Relaxed tailoring remains central to the brand’s identity, balancing fluid drape with soft structure across both men’s and women’s silhouettes. New outerwear pieces include technical parkas, grained leather jackets, and wool-cotton coats, while shirting and trousers reinterpret familiar Studio Nicholson shapes with curved cuts, pleated waists, and draped collars.
