KNWLS Autumn Winter 2026: The Edit

What are the key themes of KNWLS autumn winter 2026?

Three ideas run through the season. First, everything comes in sets, so a corset has its trouser, a blouse its skirt, a jacket its matching bottom. Second, surfaces are treated: denim is sprayed to a gloss, cotton jersey is given an artisanal wash, shearling is dipped. Third, the house mixes a romantic softness, in prints and puff sleeves, with its usual hard corsetry and biker shapes.

What are the AW26 sets?

Which AW26 pieces should you buy first?

The shearling bomber

The Eliza is the outerwear piece of the season: a lamb shearling bomber with a ribbed leather funnel neck and a detachable oversized collar. The Rust is dipped to a warm tone, the Midnight is dark navy. Both are made in Turkey.

The wool corset suit

The Victoria corset and trousers make the most useful set of the season. Boned charcoal wool, a sweetheart neck, low-rise cigarette trousers with a peplum ruffle. Wear it as a suit, then break it up with jeans and a slip skirt.

The printed second skin

The Halcyon top and leggings come in two new prints. The Halcyon Top in Wallpaper Floral and matching leggings are the softer option. The Scarf print is darker and pairs with the Skinn Dress in Scarf Print.

The cupro slip

The Beth pieces, alongside the returning Elisir Slip Dress, are the evening side of the season, cut in cupro with raw edges and lacing.

The boucle varsity

The Ivy Boucle Bomber in Grey is a slim varsity jacket with a KNWLS monogram, and it goes with everything above.

How do you wear KNWLS autumn winter 2026?

Break the sets. Wear the Alice bustier with the Victoria trousers, the Sable blouse with the Charlotte skirt, and the Eliza bomber over a cupro slip. Add a knee boot and sheer tights, the way KNWLS styles its own lookbook. For trainers, the Nike Air Max Muse works with a slip skirt. See our KNWLS jackets and KNWLS skirts guides for more.

How does AW26 compare with earlier KNWLS seasons?

The building blocks are familiar. The Halcyon top, the Claw Jacket and the Skinn dress return every season in new prints and finishes, and corsetry runs through the whole collection as it always has. What is new for autumn winter 2026 is the softness. Puff sleeves, muted florals and padded harness details on the Sable pieces bring a romantic note that earlier collections, which leaned harder on leather and technical jersey, kept in the background.

The other change is surface. KNWLS has always treated fabric, but this season the treatments are the story: two gloss sprays on denim, an artisanal wash on jersey, and dipped shearling on the Eliza. Seen together on a rail, the collection looks lived in rather than new, which is very much the point.

Which AW26 pieces work as investment buys?

If you only buy two pieces, choose the Victoria corset and an Eliza bomber. The corset gives you the KNWLS shape over jeans, under tailoring and with a slip skirt, and wool keeps it wearable for years. The Eliza is lamb shearling with leather trims, made to last several winters, and its detachable collar means it changes character with the outfit. The Astra Claw Jacket in Sand is the third pick for anyone who does not yet own a Claw.

For a lower outlay, the Halcyon top is the entry point. It is the piece most associated with the label, it layers under almost anything, and it can be machine washed.
