A Study in Soft Expression

RUNDHOLZ DIP returns for Spring/Summer 2026 with a collection that feels instinctive rather than loud, expressive without excess. As a poetic counterpoint to MAINLINE, DIP explores emotion through fabric, wash and silhouette, creating pieces that feel lived-in, thoughtful and deeply personal. This is a season shaped by atmosphere rather than instruction, where fogged hues drift across cotton, linen and cupro, and romance is balanced by grounding structure. Designed for layering and interpretation, the RUNDHOLZ DIP SS26 collection speaks to women who dress with intention, making it a natural fit within our edit of ladies designerwear.

Although SS26 looks forward, there is a quiet continuity here that feels rooted in the same sensibility that defined AW25. Texture, dye and silhouette remain central, but softened for warmer months. Each piece carries the mark of the hand, from clouded dye techniques to distressed finishes, reinforcing DIP’s philosophy that clothing should feel expressive, not pristine.

Print of the Season

This season’s defining print draws on pastoral imagery, translated through a washed, toile-inspired scenic motif that feels antique rather than decorative. Rendered in softened tones of seaweed and amber, the print appears gently timeworn, as though faded by light rather than applied for effect.

The oversized RUNDHOLZ DIP dress captures this mood beautifully. Crafted from viscose, it falls into a relaxed, fluid silhouette that moves easily with the body. The softly draped neckline and dropped sleeves lend a sense of ease, while the dropped waistband introduces shape without rigidity. From this point, fine gathers cascade into a full, pleated skirt, creating movement that feels romantic but never twee. Styled with flat sandals or layered under a lightweight jacket, this dress becomes a versatile piece that can be worn as a statement piece for either day or night.

Echoing the same print story, the toile-inspired printed linen trouser brings a tailored sensibility to the collection’s romantic undertone. Cut in a relaxed drop-crotch shape with a wide leg, it balances softness with structure. The linen fabric adds breathability, while classic trouser detailing ensures it feels grounded and wearable. Whether you choose to style with a simple jersey top or a complementary piece, these offer endless styling potential for those who love a statement trouser.

The fitted toile-print jacket sharpens the narrative. Crafted from linen and cut close to the body, it introduces structure without heaviness. The neat collar, button fastening and front pockets feel deliberately restrained, allowing the washed print to remain the focal point. Worn over monochrome layers or styled as part of a full printed look, this jacket offers a refined way to embrace pattern for SS26.

Romantic Lace

Lace appears throughout the RUNDHOLZ DIP SS26 collection not as embellishment, but as texture. It is raw, expressive and intentionally imperfect, reinforcing the artisanal heart of the brand.

The fitted lace jacket is a standout piece, crafted from intricately worked cotton lace that feels delicate yet wearable. The narrow stand collar and button-fastening front frame the body softly, while the semi-sheer construction allows for layering without weight. Worn over a tonal vest or styled open over a dress, this jacket introduces romance in a way that feels modern and quietly confident.

More relaxed in spirit, the lace-appliqué jersey top offers an everyday interpretation of the same theme. Cut in a boxy shape with elbow-length sleeves, it drapes effortlessly through the body. The lace appliqué adds depth and interest without overpowering the simplicity of the silhouette. This piece works particularly well with tailored trousers or denim, offering contrast between softness and structure that feels central to DIP’s aesthetic.

A more directional expression comes through the fitted jacket with lace appliqué panels. Crafted from a lightweight stretch fabric and finished with a distressed dye, this piece feels painterly and expressive. Raw-edged lace panels introduce movement and texture, while the fitted cut keeps the silhouette defined. Styled with wide trousers or layered over flowing dresses, it becomes a statement piece that still feels wearable, a hallmark of RUNDHOLZ DIP design.

Denim for Summer

Denim remains a grounding force within the RUNDHOLZ DIP SS26 collection, reworked through romantic proportions and expressive detailing. Each piece balances utility with softness, ensuring denim feels seasonally appropriate without losing its edge, while still carrying that subtle tension between structure and ease that DIP does so well.

The fitted denim jacket introduces a sculptural silhouette defined by puffed shoulders and vertical seam detailing. Crafted from soft, distressed-dyed cotton, it features a narrow stand collar and full button fastening. Extended cuffs and an exposed buttoned vent at the back add both refinement and movement. This jacket pairs beautifully with flowing skirts or drop-crotch trousers, offering contrast between structure and softness, and it layers just as easily over a simple jersey base.

Equally expressive, the denim trouser embraces utilitarian detail through an exaggerated button placket and oversized back pocket. The drop-crotch shape and fixed waistband maintain a relaxed feel, while the distressed wash ensures the piece feels lived-in rather than rigid. Styled with lightweight knits or lace-detailed tops, it becomes an effortless everyday option within a curated ladies designerwear wardrobe, especially when finished with a clean sandal for balance.

For something a bit different, the cropped denim jacket refines the same design language into a shorter silhouette. Puffed shoulders, button detailing and distressed finishes create visual interest, while the cropped length allows for playful proportion. Worn with high-waisted trousers or layered over dresses, it offers versatility that will carry effortlessly through the warmer months, and makes a sharp counterpoint to the collection’s softer, more atmospheric pieces.
