Refined. Playful. British label Orlebar Brown’s new collection is your low-key flex all summer long.
Since 2007, Orlebar Brown has been quietly rewriting the rules of vacation dressing, transforming the humble swim short into something altogether more refined. Its original icon, the Bulldog, is tailored, precise, and endlessly versatile and it remains the original ‘short you can swim in’. Now part of the Chanel family, Orlebar Brown has grown into a global presence, with a wardrobe that extends far beyond the pool with fine knitted polos, Italian linen, smart tailoring and rich prints.
The new Summer ’26 collection is inspired by the energy and excitement of the summer fairgrounds. The collection plays with bold paisleys, refined stripes, and a palette that runs from deep ocean blues to sun-baked vermillion and warm stone. Seersucker tailoring keeps things cool, silk and Italian linen elevates weekend outings.
Orlebar Brown’s signature details—piping, topstitching, stripes, and paisley patterns—are reinterpreted in an elegant palette of navy blue and off-white, punctuated with more contemporary shades.
On the swim front, there’s an expanded range of more casual drawstring swim shorts available in three lengths. This is a natural evolution, almost twenty years after the launch of the legendary Bulldog. Tailored for the swim but curated for leisure, it’s a wardrobe essential that carries serious fashion cred whether you're poolside or seaside.
