New Spring and Summer Highlights in UK Women’s Clothes Online
Some items featured in this guide were gifted to me
I’m all about planning and looking forward at the moment, so with this in mind I have been indulging in some sofa shopping, having a look at what new women’s clothes there are on online for Spring and Summer 2026. Now I don’t know about you, but I find it harder as I’ve got older to find as many brands as I used to, on the high street, but I still want to look and feel good and somewhat current.
So, when I do find brands and flattering clothes in the shops these days, I love sharing these with other busy mums looking for some outfit ideas to brighten up their wardrobes…
So here are the best items I’ve found so far online and in the shops for warmer days in 2026 from Oliver Bonas, Scamp and Dude, Cotton Traders, Zara, New Look and Sherpa Adventure Gear.
Scamp & Dude Summer Buys
Starting with Scamp and Dude, as in my opinion it has the best prints and flattering dress shapes around – with anything I treat myself to from there, being worn on repeat for years. They have such gorgeous designs that I feel can be as easily worn to the shops or a party. For Summer 2026 they have some new dress prints (My fav that I’ve recently purchased, is the floral mixed with leopard in a maxi tea dress) and they also have it in a mesh dress, tops and matching skirt and cami set.
New Look Picks for Spring 2026
Lots of pretty summer dresses online at New Look right now – love the palm leaf brown and pink mini dress for when it gets warmer and the polka dot midi dresses for more dressed up looks on a sunny day. I think all these would work equally well with trainers and denim jacket on the school run too. Love this lace hemmed skirt too, they have a few diff colour variations, but I got the black one to wear for a night out recently and have worn it loads casually since too.
Zara Spring and Summer Best Buys for 2026
As I’ve got older (and in all honestly bigger too) I find Zara a bit hit and miss. I love the clothes but the fit can either be great or terrible on me when I’m trying on and I will confess their oversized and cropped designs can leave me feeling very old! But all that being said, I’ve seen some gorgeous polka dot pieces in there for summer 2026. Love this monochrome spring polka dot jacket, that’s only £35.99, they’ve also got a flowy polka dox maxi skirt and similar polka dot blouse that I think would be great with jeans or under a pinafore dress.
Cotton Traders
Cotton Traders have also got some gorgeous tea dresses for Spring, I’ve got their leopard print one that I love and they also have a black polka dot version on the website too.
I’ve linked the item directly on the picture below and you can also see more of my top picks in my Cotton Traders full review article for their 2026 Summer collection.
Sherpa Adventure Gear
This is my first time featuring, Sherpa in the guide and was surprised when I opened my first order from them. When I think of Sherpa, I think hiking kit, so I loved also finding pieces I’d happily wear to a festival or pack for a holiday too. What I also didn’t know is that the brand was founded to give back to communities in Nepal, funding education for children there, something that makes you feel even better about buying from them.
This striped dress is lightweight and really versatile, one I’d wear to festivals, holidays, or a casual dinner out. And the skort has completely won me over as someone who never normally wears shorts, because it looks exactly like a skirt.
New in at Oliver Bonas Women’s Wear Sumer 2026
There’s so many new colourful pieces at Oliver Bonas that would be great for summer. I absolutely love the lemon yelow barrel leg jeans and the green and cream stripy dress.
