Autumn Winter 2026 Collection

For Autumn Winter 2026, dunhill presents a collection shaped by the world of Lord Snowdon: the subtle tension between aristocratic composure and unguarded creativity. AW26 unfolds as a city of infinite greys, deep browns and midnight blues, where tonal discipline meets textural richness and a quiet, cinematic intrigue. The collection channels 1960s London - a place of elegance edged with mischief, of formality interwoven with subtle rebellion.

Simon Holloway’s AW26 collection navigates the dualities of refinement and daring. Tailoring is measured yet expressive, textures are layered, and each silhouette is defined by material excellence. Super 120s and 150s wool flannels, alpaca car coats, merino barathea, and cashmere silk blends establish a wardrobe at once classical and subtly modern. Accessories, from leather driving gloves to silk ties and cashmere scarves, punctuate the narrative, embodying the House’s heritage craftsmanship. Every piece references a meticulous dunhillian history - from motoring-inspired outerwear to the gleaming palladium hardware that echoes the founder’s insistence: “It must be the best of its kind.”

Lord Snowdon’s discerning sensibility inspires tonal restraint, film-noir sensibility, and an undercurrent of quiet espionage. The collection balances bold textures with understated silhouettes: cashmere and camelhair tweeds, leather-trimmed outerwear, superfine roll necks and tailored flannels converge to create a modernised English elegance. Heritage techniques - hand burnished leather, jacquard weaving, and bespoke tailoring - anchor each look in craft, while contemporary cuts and unexpected details speak to the modern gentleman.

This spirit is distilled within Ethan James Green’s accompanying dunhill catalogue raisonné, which opens with the silver Hobnail-textured Unique Lighter, an emblem of the House’s ingenuity and a quiet assertion of permanence. Shot in London, Green’s black-and-white photographs present Henry Kitcher as a characterful embodiment of heroic dunhill masculinity. Across twenty-two images, the collection is rendered atmospheric and composed, capturing a cinematic Englishness that feels restrained yet charged - quietly thrilling in its precision.

These pieces epitomise tonal, raffish refinement. The mid-grey alpaca coat introduces a naturally thermostatic layer, merging a 133-year history of innovative yet luxurious motoring-inspired outerwear with a contemporary silhouette. Sharkskin tailoring is soft yet structured, complemented by the herringbone shirt and textural silk accessories. Leather gloves and Chelsea boots complete a gentlemanly, quietly cinematic expression, carrying the AW26 story from formality to subtle intrigue.

The dark grey Nappa double-breasted driving coat, bonded to camelhair windowpane check, embodies our motoring heritage and a fastidious attention to hand-craftsmanship. Paired with warm grey cashmere-blend trousers, flannel roll neck, and an insouciant wide-brimmed trilby, the result is at once relaxed and audacious, echoing the classic film-noir espionage sensibility of the collection.

The black and white Escorial wool Birdseye blazer, cut with a Cavendish silhouette and edged in supple suede shows tailoring precision and tactile depth. Beneath it, a washed blue cotton-cashmere chambray shirt softens the structure, while a winter brown double-face cashmere scarf introduces warmth and tonal nuance. Subtle accents - a house navy madder silk pocket square, a club-stripe silk tie, the glint of a reeded sterling silver bracelet - layer refinement without excess. Leather and suede ground the look: plonge nappa five-pocket trousers, a braided bridle belt complete a composition that feels romantic and introspective.

Evening dressing becomes a study in subtle opulence. Ivory and black silk accents interplay with flannel tailoring to create refined contrast, while the lapel pin provides a quiet note of craftsmanship. Accessories, from the bow tie to the scarf, punctuate a narrative of controlled elegance. This look embodies the AW26 ethos: architectural tailoring meets cinematic romance, rooted in dunhillian heritage and material excellence.
