Use this journal as an essential guide in learning about the style and practical qualities of each of these top 5 fabrics, to give yourself the best wardrobe possible.
The Top 5 Fabrics
Cotton: An Ultimate Choice
This plant-grown fibre is key in building a wardrobe that suitably caters for each season. This fibre is formed by harvesting the bolls from the cotton plant; these then separate from the seeds, are cleaned, and spun into yarn.
The Pros of Cotton:
Softness: Well-known for its soft-to-skin qualities.
Breathability: Allows air to circulate, keeping you cool in warmer temperatures and warm in colder temperatures.
Absorbency: Easily wicks away moisture from your body.
Strength: Known for being strong, durable, and a long-lasting fibre.
Easy-Care: A low-maintenance fibre that can be easily washed and maintained.
Affordability: Compared to others, cotton is loved for its lower price point.
Hypoallergenic: Unlikely to cause allergic reactions or skin irritation.
Sustainability: Coming from a plant, this fabric is formed from a renewable source.
Versatility: This can be blended or dyed to create a wide array of clothing fabrics.
Wool is cherished for the warmth and comfort it brings throughout the cooler months. This natural fibre begins its life by sheep shearing, where this wool is taken from this renewable source, sorted, washed, and spun into gorgeous yarn that is ready for knitting.
The Pros of Wool:
Insulating: Wool is best known for providing warmth throughout the chillier seasons, trapping cold outside air from reaching your skin.
Temperature-Regulating: While it keeps you warm, it helps keep you cool enough to avoid overheating.
Natural: Growing on sheep, this fibre is renewable; the process can be replicated time and time again.
Absorbency: Known to wick away moisture, keeping you comfortable and dry.
Durability: Wool fibres are very strong, making this fibre very long-lasting.
Fire-Resistant: These durable fibres are naturally fire-retardant, ensuring that they do not effortlessly ignite or melt.
Both cotton and wool are excellent natural fabrics you should consider investing in throughout the year. Cotton is known for being much easier to care for, generally less expensive, and highly durable. Its versatility makes it suitable for every season; it can be worn alone in warm temperatures and easily layered when it gets cooler.
Wool, while requiring a bit more effort and maintenance and being slightly more expensive, provides superior warmth and insulation from the elements, especially in cooler temperatures when it's needed most. Importantly, both of these wonderful fabrics come from renewable sources.
Linen: A Natural Staple
Linen is loved for being a go-to for warm-weather clothing. It starts its journey from the flax plant where they are harvested, dried, and eventually spun into yarn.
The Pros of Linen:
Breathability: Generally chosen for its qualities that allow air to circulate comfortably.
Moisture-Wicking: This fibre stays dry, wicking away moisture and sweat in warm temperatures.
Durability: Known as one of the strongest natural fibres, ensuring you're investing in a fabric that lasts.
Sustainability: This is formed from the flax plant, a renewable source, as well as using less water than other fibres to create.
Hypoallergenic: This is chosen for those with sensitive skin.
Antibacterial: Linen has antibacterial properties that reduce odour.
Regulates Body Temperature: During each season, linen helps to provide both cool and warmth when needed.
Comfort: Linen is naturally soft and smooth, offering comfort for long-lasting wear.
Silk, a preferred choice for a wide range of garments from tops to scarves, offers wonderful qualities that help to bring comfort and sophistication to a wide array of looks. This fabric is created from the cocoons of silkworms, which are harvested by boiling. This makes it much easier to unwind the threads, which are then put onto spools for further processing such as dyeing, weaving, or bleaching.
Pros of Silk:
Softness: Silk offers a wonderful and unique smooth texture that is not usually found within other fabrics. This feels lovely and smooth against the skin.
Hypoallergenic: Selected for its very gentle feel against the skin, an ideal choice for those prone to irritation.
Temperature Regulating: Silk can assist in regulating your body temperature in both warm and cool conditions.
Moisture-Wicking: Silk contributes to absorbing and evaporating sweat, to keep you comfortable.
Strong and Durable: Although delicate, silk is extremely durable, giving you the opportunity to invest in a fabric that withstands the test of time.
Natural Drape: Silk is often chosen because of its elegant appearance and effortless drape, making each outfit look refined.
Anti-Ageing Qualities: Silk can assist with rehydration in the skin, helping to reduce dry skin, along with the effects of ageing.
Leather has been a well-loved fabric for centuries, due to its durability and sophisticated appearance. Leather is created from the skin of an animal; this involves cleaning, fleshing, and soaking to prepare the leather. This is then tanned to prevent decaying and then milling to enhance its natural grain.
Pros of Leather:
Durability: Leather is known for its strength and longevity. Its resistance to wear and tear makes this a long-lasting material compared to synthetics.
Natural Features: Over time leather ages with a natural patina, and its grain makes each piece a unique piece.
Water resistant: Leather’s natural water resistance gives protection against spills and moisture. This can also be waxed or treated to make it more water-resistant.
Versatility: Leather provides a classic style to an array of fashion items, from accessories such as bags and belts along with jackets and footwear.
Easy-Care: Leather isn’t overly difficult to maintain. Most garments can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
Sustainability: Going hand-in-hand with the meat industry, this fabric is used to ensure we are getting as much use out of the source as possible. In addition, this can be recycled, compared to a wide range of synthetic materials.
While each of these fabrics features wonderful qualities each wardrobe deserves, they directly contribute to a classic wardrobe, being styles that transcend fleeting trends. Whether it’s the breathable qualities of cotton and linen, or the timeless allure of silk, wool and leather, each piece will be a true investment to ensure you’re not only investing in style, but that you are investing in quality.

Envision the allure of the Mediterranean: sun-kissed skin, the delightful taste of fresh, locally sourced food, and breathtaking landscapes that captivate the senses in each country you visit. The celebrated towns and coasts of this region pulse with colour, from the endless blue of the sea meeting the sky to the vibrant greens and floral hues of its nature, and the bold, characterful colours of its buildings. Our summer collection is a direct homage to this visual and sensory richness, taking particular inspiration from the fragrant purple of Provence lavender, the subtle greens of olive groves, the zesty yellows of lemons, the varying blues of the Mediterranean Sea, and the warm hues of its vivid sunsets. Within this journal, you'll discover looks where these themes come to life through our thoughtfully chosen prints, featured colour palettes, and the flowing fabrics that feel exquisite in these beautiful settings. Let us guide you through a collection born from the bright and distinctive palette of the Mediterranean, directly influenced by its inspiring tones and iconic elements, to elevate your summer wardrobe.
A quintessential element of the Mediterranean experience is found in Provence. Here, each summer, the iconic lavender fields burst into bloom, creating an atmosphere of unparalleled relaxation, warmth, and charm. Taking inspiration from this tranquil beauty, our Summer 2025 collection features these calming lavender shades. The Printed Kimono and Pull-On Printed Skirt embody the spirit of Provence, with their lavender tones celebrating the scenery, complemented by soft hints of blue and green that reflect the delightful sky and fields. More than just capturing a Mediterranean summer's charm, their graceful designs and fluid feel make them ideal for your holiday suitcase. Made from light and unrestricted materials, these exclusive pieces promise both comfort and a touch of sophistication.
For those seeking to incorporate lavender into their wardrobe, our new collection also includes the Paisley Soft Skirt. Its detailed and intricate print offers a stylish update for your summer looks. Designed with elegant soft pleats and a flowing silhouette, this skirt is a feminine must-have. Style it with our lavender-toned Round-Neck T-Shirt for a refined look, or wear it casually with other pieces in your collection.
The Mediterranean's global appeal owes much to its glorious sunshine, a source of warmth, happiness, and a healthy radiance – truly one of life's great pleasures. This region is also home to some of the world's most spectacular sunsets, as the sun dips below the horizon in a vibrant, burnt orange. Our Short-Sleeve Blouse and matching Pull-On Trousers perfectly embody this fiery beauty. This striking ensemble not only captures the essence of a stunning sunset with its rich, burnt orange hue, but its thoughtfully designed shapes ensure ultimate comfort for summer days. For warm evenings, pair these pieces with our snowdrop Round Neck T-Shirt and elevate your look with our Silk Scarf and Wooden Necklace – two distinctive accessories that beautifully complement this already chic outfit.
The iconic olive trees of Italy and Greece are not only beautiful additions to the landscape but also a source of wonderful flavours, from focaccia and marinated olives to dressed salads and sun-dried delights. These olive groves provide both food and a vital source of life and shade in this remarkable sunny part of the world. Celebrating these wonderful scenes is our Leaf Print T-Shirt, an effortless essential you'll reach for every day this summer. Designed with a timeless soft olive-toned leaf print, this 100% cotton top features an elegant notch neckline and short sleeves for ultimate comfort. Style it with our complementary cropped Casual Trousers, a best-selling item with our Cotswold Collections customers for their effortless versatility.
The captivating blue beauty and silky waters of the Mediterranean Sea draw visitors from all corners of the globe. These coastlines give this region its unique character, whether you're swimming, sunbathing, or enjoying al fresco dining by the shore. Our Plain Jersey Dress, with its deep and vibrant blue hue, is a favourite in our latest summer collection, perfectly reflecting these stunning Mediterranean coastal scenes. Designed for effortless summer elegance, this dress simply slips on and its beautiful shape, enhanced by princess seams in the bodice, creates an unparalleled sense of grace. Made from 100% fibres, you can wear this piece with confidence, knowing you'll be comfortable and stylish all day long. For special occasions, complete the look with our essential Straw Hat, our vivid aqua necklace, and our William Morris printed Silk Scarf.
The sun-drenched lemons of Sicily and Menton offer a light, refreshing flavour and contribute to the inviting beauty of the Mediterranean landscape. We knew that incorporating lemon tones into our latest collection was a must, given the joyful associations they carry. Create both smart and relaxed looks with our Floral Blouson and Panel Skirt. Decorated with a beautiful and elegant floral print, these lemon hues will instantly brighten your summer outfits. If you're not after a dress-style ensemble, consider styling our Floral Blouson with our Casual Trousers. Alternatively, for a more casual feel, team our Panel Skirt with our lemon V-Neck T-Shirt. Every floral print item in this selection offers the elegance and beauty that every summer wardrobe deserves.
The warmth, colour, and effortless beauty of the Mediterranean have shaped our summer collection, and now it's your turn to welcome them.
