Carhartt WIP Summer 26: Last Light

The final delivery of Carhartt WIP’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection unfolds in Thailand, lensed by director Bing Cao and photographer Chayanee Choedsuk. Signaling summer at its peak, heat lingers in the air and time stretches, as scenes drift between rural stillness and the hazy glow of the city at dusk.

The collection centers on lightweight layers, airy knits, and relaxed jersey sweats, guided by a simple approach: Functional, easy pieces for warm-weather wear. Prints and color palettes, meanwhile, shift toward vivid, more saturated expressions of summer.

Stripes and checks weave through the collection, in the waffled textures of the S/S Kander Shirt and Short, and in the lightweight poplin Women’s L/S Royce Shirt. Inspired by postal uniforms of the 50s, pieces like the Postal Single Knee Pant reimagine the silhouette of our iconic canvas work pant in a midweight polycotton fabric.

Benton sweatshirts and sweatshorts appear in vibrant ‘lily’ green, ‘primrosa’ pink, and deep ‘carbon’ blue, with garment-dyed finishes that create a naturally worn-in, subtly sun-faded look across hems, seams, and details. This palette carries through lightweight knitwear, seen in the space-dye Women's Keenan Sweater and multicolor Cane Hat.

A collaboration with Idaho-born, Washington-based artist Sean Hamilton completes the collection, drawing on his existing canvas paintings to inspire a series of graphics on a short-sleeve shirt, as well as on t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts.

The Carhartt WIP Spring/Summer 2026 collection is available now at select global retailers and Carhartt WIP stores, as well as at carhartt-wip.com and on the Carhartt WIP App.
