New Season, New Knits: Alice Collins AW26 Has Arrived

There was something surprisingly lovely about putting a jumper on last night.

After such a long spell of hot summer weather, I think I’m finally ready for that change of season — cooler mornings, slightly darker evenings, long walks and, most importantly, getting our favourite layers back out again!

And the timing couldn’t be better, because our new Alice Collins Autumn/Winter 2026 collection has just arrived at The Coastal Boutique.

Hello, Jumper Weather 🍂

There’s always something exciting about the first autumn deliveries arriving in the shop. It feels like the beginning of a completely new wardrobe.

This season, Alice Collins brings us the sort of pieces we love at The Coastal Boutique — easy-to-wear knitwear, relaxed layers and everyday styles that you can simply throw on with your favourite trousers or jeans.

The colours are beginning to change too, moving us away from summer brights and into the warmer, richer shades that work so beautifully through autumn and winter.

Easy Autumn Style

One of the things we look for when choosing our collections is clothing that works for real life.

A lovely jumper shouldn't need too much thinking about. Add your favourite trousers, a pair of ankle boots and perhaps a scarf when the temperature really starts to drop, and you're ready to go.

And if you're not quite ready to give up summer yet, new-season knitwear is perfect for those in-between days — particularly when the sunshine disappears in the evening!

Alice Collins AW26 – Now In Store & Online

The first pieces from our Alice Collins AW26 collection are available now at The Coastal Boutique, both in our Honiton store and online.

As a small independent boutique, we don't buy huge quantities of each style, so some sizes can disappear quite quickly once a new collection lands.

So, are you with me?

Are you ready for jumper weather… or are you still hanging onto summer for as long as possible? 🍂☀️
