Well, good news: For spring 2026, it returns with a shift in mood. Less overtly sweet, it now leans into sharper, more structured silhouettes – think relaxed suiting, crisp cotton shirts and clean-lined separates – styled alongside grounding shades of chocolate brown, navy and soft grey.
The key is contrast: balance soft colour with considered texture and proportion. A tailored skirt with an oversized knit, a barrel-leg jean with a cropped cardigan. Below, a round-up of the best new arrivals in this quietly confident shade – from co-ords and dresses to off-duty sweats – all primed for the season ahead.
