Wax London has unveiled its Autumn 2026 collection, titled ‘Bridging the Divide’.
The London menswear brand will release the collection in two drops throughout the season. This time, heritage influences meet contemporary design across outerwear, denim, knitwear and tailoring.
The collection explores contrasts, with workwear sitting alongside mod influences and smarter pieces. Meanwhile, textured fabrics balance cleaner, more understated styles.
A seasonal palette of brown, plum, burgundy and charcoal runs throughout. Flashes of red add contrast, while tweeds, wool blends, brushed yarns and jacquards bring plenty of texture.
Outerwear Leads Wax London Autumn 2026
Outerwear plays a central role in ‘Bridging the Divide’, with several familiar Wax London styles returning.
The canvas Mason Jacket arrives in new colourways, while the Healey Chore Jacket gets a vintage denim update. Additionally, the Heath Jacket returns in both checked and plain versions.
The new Gower Gilet joins the collection in three winter checks.
Wax London has also introduced double-faced cloth to its fabric line-up. The material features a check on one side and a plain finish on the other.
Both the Hamblin and Stan coats use the new fabric. As a result, they offer a versatile option for layering as temperatures begin to fall.
The Navarino Mac also returns for Autumn 2026. Its water-repellent construction makes it another practical layering option. Moreover, the design reinterprets Wax London’s first-ever piece.
Japanese Selvedge Denim Arrives at Wax London
Denim represents another important development for the brand this season.
The new Ramsdale barrel jeans introduce a wider silhouette and pair with the vintage denim Healey Chore Jacket.
However, Japanese selvedge denim marks the biggest change. Wax London has partnered with Kaihara Denim in Fukuyama, Hiroshima, for the first time.
The Japanese mill has produced the fabric for a new version of Wax London’s Felix jeans.
Consequently, the collaboration adds a more premium denim option to the growing Wax London trouser collection.
Knitwear Gets More Texture for Autumn
Knitwear remains a significant part of the Wax London wardrobe for Autumn 2026.
Brushed and fluffy yarns appear across the Walker Cardigan, Wilde Crewneck Jumper and Tristan Cardigan. Each style also comes in a selection of seasonal colours.
Meanwhile, the Lawrie Polo and Norris Zip introduce new knitted silhouettes. Wax London has also expanded its cardigan offering alongside new jacquards and needle-punch motifs.
Jersey and sweatshirts continue to grow too. New additions include striped rugby shirts, long-sleeve Henleys and seasonal versions of the brand’s core sweats.
The Rowhill Rugby comes in colour-block and striped designs. Additionally, the new Rydal introduces a boxier hoodie silhouette.
Wider Trousers and Textured Tailoring
Wax London has expanded its trouser range significantly this season.
Wider-leg cuts lead the collection, including the new Piper silhouette. Elsewhere, pleated trousers sit alongside established styles such as the Kurt, Tyne and Malham.
Fabric also plays an important role. Flannel, pinstripes, wool blends and tweed-like textures give the collection a distinctly autumnal feel.
Overall, ‘Bridging the Divide’ builds on Wax London’s familiar aesthetic rather than completely reinventing it. Heritage references remain, but new fabrics and silhouettes give the collection a sharper direction for Autumn 2026.
An Ode to London
To accompany the first drop, Wax London has created a campaign titled ‘An Ode to London’.
The campaign takes inspiration from William Wordsworth’s 1802 poem ‘Composed upon Westminster Bridge’. It uses the poem alongside imagery of London skylines, lesser-known locations and familiar local spots.
The result connects the Autumn 2026 collection back to the city where Wax London started.
Founded in 2015, Wax London has become known for menswear built around distinctive fabrics, textures and patterns.
The Autumn 2026 collection is priced from £17 to £495. It will be available online and through Wax London’s Berwick Street, Covent Garden and Spitalfields stores.
