When it comes to labels sitting just shy of being a household name, A.L.C. by Andrea Lieberman consistently remains one to watch. Season after season, A.L.C. highlights the translation between modern sportswear and the polished, quietly glamorous look we see so often. The spring 2026 collection pushed that vision forward, balancing structure with softness, masculine tailoring with subtle femininity.
From the start of the show, it was clear there was a strong emphasis on ease. Relaxed trousers paired with fluid knits, draped jersey dresses, and boxy shirts cut in fine fabrics suggested a wardrobe built for the woman who values comfort without sacrificing presence. The use of SeaCell jersey—a fabric created from seaweed—gave pieces such as a navy column dress a weightless, airy quality, while a mint knit set seemed designed to move with the body rather than against it.
This loose tailoring stayed consistent throughout the collection. Wide-leg trousers hung loose rather than stiff, blazers skimmed the frame instead of constricting it, and jeans, too, took on a loose silhouette, signaling A.L.C.’s ongoing commitment to wearability over rigidity. It all felt like stepping into the wardrobe of the coolest, most self-assured woman you know, minimal in palette, heavy on versatility, punctuated by sharp pops of orange and lace.

Accessories stayed understated, allowing the clothes to do the talking, but the craftsmanship and materiality underscored Lieberman’s point: these are garments made to last, cut for confidence, and softened for reality.
