For Sportmax, the Spring/Summer 2026 wardrobe is minimalist, tailored, and fluid. Their rendition of summer dressing creates a tension between softness and structure, giving corporate ease meets laid-back holidays.
In the juxtaposition between tailoring and experimentation lies the signature of Sportmax. Clean cuts, feminine silhouettes, and volumes are all part of a visual language that is recognisable but creative enough to deliver innovation in each show. Femininity was interpreted in a myriad of ways, from structured to flowing, bold, and subtle.
For this collection, pieces are versatile with strong details, but always keep wearability in mind. Fluid, elongated shapes dominated the runway, from wide trousers to floor-skimming skirts and draped dresses. Presenting a tension between bold and refined, with a variety of layered tailoring seen in oversized jackets, belted trench-style coats, structured vests, and pieces with relaxed volumes.
Effortless trousers, seen throughout the show, break with the structure of jackets or coats and the clean lines of skirts and deconstructed blazers. The juxtaposition between fluidity, oversized pieces, and structured garments creates an elevated wardrobe meant for experimentation and freedom.
Keeping an interest in minimalist style, neutrals and soft pastels were at the centre of the collection, while deep black and burgundy gave a sense of sensuality. Femininity was transmitted through the use of sheer and silky fabrics, while leather and denim created a casual ease that disrupted the classic taste of the rest of the collection, giving a sense of edge.
