Farah’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection channels the UK’s 1990s DIY sound system culture. Inspired by free parties, warehouse raves and travelling sound systems, it captures the 90’s energy of movement, unity and self-expression.

Farah is a century-old brand, now a British staple despite its Texan roots. It re-emerged in 1970s UK subcultures as a menswear icon and was seen in the 90s' indie music scene.

With style and comfort all in one, it's ideal for UK heatwaves and outdoor parties. Now featuring more styles inspired by 90s party wear, covering all bases from buttoned polos to relaxed overshirts.

The frost finish starts the line strongly as this season’s standout. The specialist pigment dye process elevates seams and pocket details, while contrast ecru stitching and reinforced construction shows off a rugged utility edge.

Each piece holds a unique essence through the garment dyeing, leaving a soft, uneven depth of colour. It perpetuates a washed, vintage aesthetic, matching the spirit of this curation.

Here are the perfect textures for a lively summer. Waffle, jacquard, poplin and crepe fabrics with dusty, muted tones serving a reminder of the hazy, outdoor atmosphere of 90s parties.

More pieces appear across this capsule, including the new Swinton shorts, arriving just in time for summer. It’s a wide-fit shape reworked from the Greenport trousers, cut at the knee. It supports the collection alongside swim shorts crafted using 100% recycled materials.

To pair with shorts, Farah delivers relaxed shirting for the Spring/Summer wardrobe. Featuring the Stanford shirt in crinkled cotton and yarn-dyed stripes for a classic look. Taking center stage is the Tilsworth T-shirt, combining archival Farah logos from the 1950s to the 90s.

This SS26 range pays homage to heritage and retro fashion, drawing inspiration from the past while reworking styles with a contemporary taste.
