Amid the current renaissance of whimsical fashion, Cath Kidston has never been so relevant. With more than 30 years of print heritage, its new era offers a lifestyle collection of  womenswear, pyjamas, handbags, swimwear and beyond – all in hand-painted, distinctive prints. Think pixel-glitched petals and a ‘Tiny Town’ print that adorns beautifully tailored tea dresses and multi-purpose bags and accessories. 

The brand’s AW25 collection leans into these motifs. Ushering in the colder months, Cath Kidston’s latest range remains true to its heritage as a pioneer of print, but with modern cuts and fashion-forward silhouettes. Named ‘The Board Game’, each piece is inspired by vintage games and the art of play, with their signature wink of wit.

    Why have one, when you can have two? “The light blue dot print on these jeans pairs with the matching jacket for the ultimate AW25 co-ord,” Arianna adds. “Luckily, they’re stylish enough to wear standalone with a chunky knit, too.”

    Mini handbags like this are making a haute return for AW25. “I love this Lady Luck design because it’s a classic shape that’ll fit all of your belongings in, but it’s adorned by a head-turning print. What more could you ask for?” says Commerce Partnership Editor, Carla Challis.

    Layering was big business for AW24, and this year it's set to continue reigning supreme, say our editors. “This sleeveless dress is the ultimate multitasker,” Carla adds. “Featuring block khaki with a subtle print motif, it’s ideal for elegant evening plans or pairing with a cardigan for day affairs.” 

  • tiger table lamp

    Who knew that a lamp could be so cute? “The tiger motif is eccentric and classy in equal measure,” says Carla. “It’s a statement piece from top-to-bottom, so your ‘big light’ needn’t go on amid the darker evenings.”

    Tea dresses are the hero product of Cath Kidston’s new Board Game collection – and this one is on Digital Luxe & Commerce Editor, Hollie Brotherton’s, wishlist. “Featuring playing card motifs with a contrasting colourway and tie-back feature, it’s the gift that keeps on giving with an air of whimsy at every swish of fabric.”

    Plan to invest in a utility jacket for this colder season? Us too – that’s why Arianna loves this vintage-inspired one from The Board Game range. She says: “The lady luck motif gives it a modern edge, whilst the corduroy collar makes for a tonal contrast against the pink stripe print.”

  • Tiger Lace Denim Peplum Top

    Editor's note

    If it wasn’t already clear, Cath Kidston didn’t come to play with its AW25 denim. An unexpected, but wholly welcome, new direction from the brand, this statement quirky print on a lilac and black colourway pairs perfectly with plain denim, as well as the matching skirt.

  • Khaki Green Utility Backpack
