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.
