The Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2026 collection arrived like a breath of fresh air in a season dominated by safe, sanitized fashion choices. While most designers have retreated into vanilla territory with their endless parade of white opening looks, Burch took the opposite route.
Her latest collection celebrates the complexity of contemporary women through a personal lens. Drawing inspiration from family heirlooms and sentimental details, the designer created pieces that feel both intimate and confident.
Embroidered silk sweaters feature the initials of her design team members, transforming corporate collaboration into something touching and human. These handcrafted details provided a striking counterpoint to the collection’s sharper tailoring elements.
Burch’s father influenced the crisp button-down shirts and precisely piped blazers that anchored the collection. Her mother’s antique tapestry chair inspired wool and cashmere cardigans adorned with hand-beaded flying bird motifs.
The designer embraced the “naive” quality of these embroidered pieces, recognizing their relevance to the current cultural moment. This idea was evident in slouchy prep polos with deliberately distressed hems and unconventional tailored suiting.

Sheer, hand-pleated silk chiffon dresses recalled nightgown silhouettes, suggesting that Burch’s woman might wear them straight from bed to brunch. This irreverent approach extended to crushed skirt sets and gold lamé shirts paired with tailored Lurex jacquard pieces.
Low-waisted trousers channeled nostalgia for the 1990s, and jackets featured innovative back vents that transformed their silhouette with the pull of a zipper.
