Behind the scenes at our AW26 press event

Our Cotton Traders Autumn/Winter 2026 collection is on its way. To celebrate, we invited the press, influencers, and a few friends to an exclusive preview of what's to come in the new season.

From cosy knitwear and effortless layers to standout outerwear (all in rich seasonal colours), our AW26 press event was a first look at the styles set to arrive in the coming months. Step behind the scenes for a sneak peek at what could be landing in your wardrobe soon.

Layering takes centre stage for Autumn/Winter 2026, with knitwear, jackets and cords creating outfits that work in the ever-changing weather.

Relaxed styling meets smarter details throughout the collection, making it easy to dress pieces up or down. We're thinking cosy knits paired with cords and denim or a statement outerwear piece thrown over seasonal elevated essentials.

AW26 is filled with rich, warming colours. Inspired by key trends, the palette moves from easy-to-wear neutrals to richer shades for the cooler months.

Classic khaki, cream and navy meet earthy chocolate and stone, while deeper mulberry and burgundy tones add extra warmth. Relaxed denim brings a familiar blue tone into a collection filled with easy-to-wear seasonal shades. The best thing of all? These colours work beautifully together, making autumn layering that little bit easier.

Consider this your first glimpse of what’s ahead. Cosy layers, seasonal knitwear, versatile jackets and new takes on everyday favourites: there’s plenty more to discover from Cotton Traders this autumn and winter.
