The final delivery of Carhartt WIP’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection unfolds in Thailand, captured by director Bing Cao and photographer Chayanee Choedsuk. The campaign shows the feeling of peak summer, where the heat slows everything down. Scenes move between quiet countryside settings and the soft, hazy light of the city at dusk, giving the collection a calm and laid-back mood.
The collection focuses on simple, functional pieces made for warm weather. Lightweight layers, breathable knits, and relaxed jersey sweats make up the core of the range. Patterns like stripes and checks appear across key items, including the Kander Shirt and Short, as well as the Women’s Royce Shirt. There are also workwear-inspired designs, such as the Postal Single Knee Pant, which updates 1950s postal uniforms using a more comfortable polycotton fabric.
Colors are brighter and more vibrant this season, reflecting the energy of summer. Benton sweatshirts and shorts come in shades like lily green, primrosa pink, and deep carbon blue, finished with a garment-dyed effect that gives a slightly faded, worn-in look. This color direction continues in knitwear and accessories like the Women’s Keenan Sweater and Cane Hat. The collection is completed with a collaboration featuring Sean Hamilton, whose artwork appears as bold graphics on shirts, t-shirts, and hooded sweatshirts.
