The wait is over – LeMieux officially unveiled its AW26 collection today (26 August). The seasonal lineup includes an array of fresh shades ready for the fashion-conscious equestrians among us to update their autumn wardrobe.
The latest collection features the following colours:
Blackberry – a deep berry-stained tone fresh from the hedgerow
Gooseberry – bold and lustrous, a stand-out gold-toned green
Russet – a burnished red-orange, inspired by autumn’s changing leaves
Pear – a light, sandy neutral reminiscent of sun-faded leaves and golden grasses
Spiced earth – a warm burnished brown with soft russet undertones
Wild rose – a soft country pink
Aloe – a soft, dusty blue with a subtle green hue, inspired by cool, silvery foliage

The new collection contains both brand-new designs and returning classics in the new shades, alongside an extensive line of matching horsewear, all designed to withstand the demands of cold-weather riding.
Sarah Gibson, head of design at LeMieux explains that the AW26 collection is inspired by the first glimpse of autumn.
“This season’s palette feels warm, while the products are designed to work hard and in your favour when the weather doesn’t,” she said “It’s about bringing together style, comfort and performance, so riders can enjoy the season, keep doing what they love, and outride the elements.”
