Carhartt WIP’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection builds on the brand’s long-standing balance of utility and contemporary style, presenting a wardrobe designed for the gradual transition from colder months to warmer weather.

This season, denim serves as the creative foundation, reimagined in a wide spectrum of treatments including traditional rigid denim, a hand-finished “grind-wash” for an aged aesthetic and a poly-cotton hybrid that draws inspiration from industrial uniforms. The color palette is intentionally muted, featuring overdyed shades of burgundy, brown, and grey across canvas and jersey styles, which are layered with earth-toned check flannel shirts to provide a versatile, year-round wardrobe.

Outerwear furthers the brand’s ongoing dialogue with archival workwear, highlighted by key pieces like the Adair Coat, which takes functional design cues from vintage fireman jackets with its metal clip closures. Another standout is the Shepton Jacket, a silhouette that revisits the proportions of the classic B-6 flight jacket.

For foundational staples, the collection offers the men’s OG Double Knee Pant and the women’s OG Arctic Jacket, both constructed from heavy-duty, rigid denim to ensure long-lasting durability. Modern reinterpretations also appear in the form of relaxed-fit “jorts” and vintage-wash denim midi skirts, blending Carhartt’s rugged identity with contemporary streetwear trends.

Priced range from $58 – $438 USD, the collection is currently available via the Carhartt WIP webstore and across its global network of retail locations.
