Winter '26 Collection

The idea of a version of “modern bohemia” or a suggestion of “comfortable laziness” seeped in too, as Wakeman reflected on the notion of “people being at home in our clothes - both literally on their sofas, and figuratively in terms of how we want them to feel while in them - a comfortable contentedness without preciousness or particular effort,” she smiles.

Knitwear for Winter 26 includes double-cashmere, a yak merino and double wool sable. Knit pinups this season are Pablo Picasso and Diana Vreeland; both of whom exemplify the idea that the plainest knitwear is often the finest, and that the wearing of said exquisite sweaters or cardigans doesn’t require useless styling trickery either. 

A womenswear double cashmere offering includes elegant knitwear staples: the Aurel (a sleeveless tank with three buttons), the Arvine (a button-through cropped cardigan) and the Morina (a short and dropped shoulder crew) in black or mouse. The new Berez menswear knit is a brilliantly ordinary and slightly slouchy classic crew neck with rib details in yak merino, whilst the unisex Haddan in two-ply cashmere is double layered and gently boxy. Easy, comfortable, uncomplicated. 

Other knit highlights include the Orena - one of Wakeman’s favourites - in espresso brown or natural marl, which has a chunkier handle and is finished with an oversized collar and buttons. The women’s Aegon in double wool sable features a funnel neck and half-zip front while the men’s Cope comes in a plush double cashmere, with a hood, drawcords and a drop shoulder.  

Tailoring revolves around a new women’s 1990s-inspired three-button tailored jacket - the Sono - in black Melton wool with discreet side pockets. “This jacket is superbly and purposefully nondescript with a fantastic fit,” says Wakeman. The new men’s Fenn jacket made from Scottish wool features just enough structure in the shoulder to elegantly shrug off the body and suits being combined with the Pull Tailored Pant. 

A new consideration for women is the lightweight Rhine jacket in darkest navy cut in a double-faced wool and finished with a stand collar, whilst the new Fuse skirt in flint - a Studio Nicholson take on the long kilt – is, says Wakeman, “preferably styled with the new men’s tailoring-inspired, straight-legged Couper pant worn underneath.” 

There are three new twists on the useful bomber this season: the Howth, a unisex black and white blouson re-imagined in an Italian herringbone with leather contrast collar, the men’s Wickett, a nylon bomber in a water repellent nylon and the women’s Banthe in merinillo (a high quality lambskin) which delivers a refined take on the shape. 

Meanwhile, two noteworthy women’s coats are added to the Studio Nicholson outerwear lineup for Winter 26: the Aber and the Mori. The Aber is captured in a mohair brushed wool and features a double-breasted front, peak lapels and shoulder pads to give it a classic Wakeman masculine bent. The Mori, meanwhile, is of classic overcoat sensibilities, cut in double-faced wool, also with a double-breasted finish, soft shoulder, and detachable belt.
