Affiliated has released the latest installment of its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, a warm-weather continuation of the SS26 range designed around lightweight construction, breathable technical fabrics and pieces built to move between city, travel and warm-weather settings. The drop continues the more elevated, considered approach the brand introduced with its rebrand earlier this year — considered detailing, clean branding and fabrics chosen for function as much as form — while extending SS26’s focus on ventilation, packability and softer, more relaxed silhouettes for the season ahead.
At the heart of the range is a matching plaid set — a Plaid Jacket (£135) and Plaid Shorts (£75) — crafted from a textured 100% cotton plaid outer and fully lined with breathable power mesh, with the jacket’s elasticated cuffs, dual hood toggles and adjustable waist toggles allowing the fit to be refined across changing conditions. Engineered specifically for the summer months, the Ventilation Jacket (£120) features 2,290 precision-cut perforations for maximum airflow and packs into its own integrated stuff bag as part of the brand’s Self-Pack Series, making it as suited to travel as it is to daily wear.
Rounding out the collection’s key pieces, the Women’s Knit Shorts (£65, in Black and Grey) reimagine the short in a soft wool blend with a flowing, relaxed construction that sits somewhere between a skirt and an oversized short — a versatile addition that moves easily from casual to more refined styling. Elsewhere, the range extends into a lightweight Plaid capsule companion in the Raglan Panel T-Shirt (£35, in White, Black and Grey) and the Packable Swimming Shorts (£55), which complete a collection built around comfort, breathability and easy transitions between occasions.
