Orlebar Brown’s Cruise ’26 collection takes its inspiration from Lake Como with flowing silk shirts, beautifully woven linens and artful prints. A coral shirt in a textured weave sits easily against striped swim shorts as mountains rise across calm water, the scene capturing the very ease that defines resort living. This is the vocabulary of the lakeside: colour without fuss, fabric chosen for its purpose as much as its beauty.
The collection brings printed silks developed with Lake Como mills, linen shirts, knitted polos, tailoring and transitional outerwear. Orlebar Brown has been reinventing holiday style since 2007 with an attention to craft that extends from the cut of a shirt to the weight of linen beneath the fingers. Each piece carries the rigour of tailoring applied to the unhurried rhythms of a summer away from the ordinary.
Rich in colour, character and Italian craftsmanship, the collection includes swim shorts made for much more than swimming. The palette speaks of sun on water and the soft stone of Como’s shorelines: warm reds, navy stripes, the colours that belong to both lake and leisure. The house sources Italian linen, organic silk and premium cotton, each material chosen for how it moves, breathes and ages into familiarity with constant wear.
The Cruise ’26 collection is available now through Orlebar Brown.
