In Spring 2026, Tory Burch injects a chic twist into classic American sportswear.

In the heart of Brooklyn, at the majestic 1 Hanson Place, a former bank with cathedral-like architectural details, Tory Burch unveiled her Spring/Summer 2026 collection to a star-studded audience. Ciara, Jessica Alba, Emma Roberts, Tessa Thompson, and Naomi Watts were among the celebrities who graced the event, all donning Tory Burch ensembles.

The collection paid homage to the past while embracing the future, with a colour palette that leaned towards various shades of brown, giving the clothes a retro feel. This nostalgic aesthetic was further emphasised by the use of wrinkled lamé in skirts and dresses, and tailored jackets with hidden zips in the back that could alter the silhouette of the jacket.

Burch's designs for the season continued to experiment with fashion staples like button down shirts and cardigans, giving them exaggerated pointed collars or seed bead prints. The collection featured a clash of pristine tailoring with naïve florals, seed beading, and distressed leather, creating a unique blend of American sportswear and romance.

The collection showcased a balance of femininity and agency, elegance and modernity, sophistication and ease, evoking a sense of how Hitchcock heroines might dress today. Standout pieces included a fire engine red off-shoulder dress, a stunning turquoise trench coat, and a sunny yellow skirt with a slit in the front.

Pants and skirts in the collection were slung low on the hips, and there were chiffon dresses with drop waists and polkadot prints. The designer described the Spring/Summer 2026 collection as exploring the complexity of women's style, combining femininity and strength, precision and imperfection.

American sportswear was reinterpreted in the collection, juxtaposed with touches of romance, sentimentality, and craft. The fashion show was a testament to Burch's commitment to empowering women through fashion, and her ability to create timeless pieces that resonate with a wide audience.

As the models strutted down the runway, it was clear that Tory Burch's Spring/Summer 2026 collection was a celebration of women's style, strength, and individuality. The event was a memorable occasion, not just for the stunning designs on display, but also for the sense of community and camaraderie that pervaded the atmosphere.
