LeMieux has announced the new colours for its SS26 collection. This new seasonal drop is defined by performance and Parisian-inspired colour, bringing a fresh wave of styles and colours for the season ahead. It is inspired by the elegant, blooming streets of Paris and the pastel-drenched windows of its iconic pâtisseries.
These new LeMieux colours once again embrace the mixy-matchy vibe, which the brand started in 2024, by pairing seamlessly with items from both past and future seasonal collections. The five new seasonal colours are macaron, jungle, mallow, fondant, and powder blue.
LeMieux has a strong focus on function and performance, with products engineered to keep equestrians of all ages and their horses and ponies comfortable in all environments. Spring demands breathability and versatility, and the SS26 collection delivers both – it is designed to keep you cool as temperatures rise, without compromising protection in unpredictable weather.
Sarah Gibson, head of design at LeMieux, explained that the SS26 collection is all about feeling refreshed, leaving winter in the past and being comfortable from saddle to stable and beyond.
“We wanted to capture that feeling of optimism you get at the first hint of spring, when colour starts to return and everything feels lighter,” she said. “Our colours this season balance soft, confident colours with the technical performance our riders rely on.”

Arika Camo-Tek fly rug
Lookout for this rug; it is scheduled to launch in mid-March. This handy fly rug is ideal for hot summer days (when they arrive). It offers protection from UV rays and insects, and has a combi neck. The camo-tec print distracts flies.

Classique Base Layer (fondant)
This is a classic base layer with a technical twist. It features vented under arms and sweat-wicking fabric with UV50+ protection for added ventilation and breathability.
