Kith has unveiled its Summer 2026 collection, and the scale of it is what one would call “considerably sized.” Founder Ronnie Fieg has designed around the duality of the modern warm-weather wardrobe, the kind of collection that moves from a day by the water to a late evening in the city without requiring a change of direction or complete overhaul of looks. To front the campaign, Kith tapped Jonah Hill, whose specific brand of effortless, unhurried cool sets exactly the right tone for a drop that spans premium shirting, lightweight outerwear, versatile swimwear, accessories, and a five-piece footwear collaboration with Clarks Originals.
The campaign’s positioning is deliberate: Hill is not a traditional fashion face, and that is precisely the point. The collection, which releases on Friday, May 15, 2026 and will be available at all Kith shops, the Kith App, and Kith.com at 11 AM EST/GMT/CET/JST., is trying to be the best version of summer dressing for someone who actually lives in the world.
The apparel at the heart of the collection leans heavily into premium, breathable textiles. Kith has significantly expanded its shirting program for the season, with pieces crafted from silk-linen blends, cupro linens, crochet jerseys, and overdyed cotton. Standouts include the indigo seersucker Daley Shirt and the seasonally exclusive Julian Jersey, alongside a range of crisp poplin button-downs that ground the more experimental fabrications. Layerable outerwear arrives in the form of the Eddy Jacket and Ito Blazer, designed to travel well and pair naturally with relaxed bottoms like the Lambert Pleated Trouser and the Printed Collins Swim Short. The “Kith Classics” label receives a summer refresh with vibrant camp-collar shirts, summer denim sets, and retro-inspired towel-terry polos that complete the seasonal wardrobe without overcomplicating it.
Kith Summer 2026 Collection: The Clarks Originals Ridgevale Returns
The footwear chapter of the collection is its most anticipated component. Ronnie Fieg and Clarks Originals are reprising the 8th St collaboration and reintroducing the Ridgevale silhouette, a design that merges the heritage of Clarks’ signature Wallabee with the construction of a contemporary fisherman sandal. The result is a slip-on that wears across the full breadth of a summer day without asking the foot to compromise on comfort or the outfit to compromise on intention.
Material selection is the detail that separates this season’s Ridgevale from a standard reissue. The Green, Navy, Black, and Coffee colorways are all constructed from Kennet Grain leather, a premium material chosen for its ability to age well and mold to the wearer’s foot over time. A fifth colorway in Chestnut introduces premium suede to the lineup. All five iterations sit on Clarks’ legendary crepe outsole, with co-branding applied at the footbed and leather lace fobs completing the finish. Five colorways, one silhouette, no redundancy, each one earns its place in the lineup.

Accessories and the Complete Summer Wardrobe
Kith rounds out the Summer 2026 drop with an accessories run that covers the full spectrum of seasonal needs. Beach essentials include Canvas Monogram Totes, bucket hats, and new sunglass silhouettes that travel easily. For those who prefer their summer with slightly more polish, tumbled leather bags and a luxury raffia backgammon board represent the collection’s more considered end.
Taken together, the accessories complete what the apparel and footwear have established: a collection designed to function as a complete wardrobe rather than a series of individual pieces. Fieg’s approach to seasonal drops has always been about internal coherence, the sense that everything in the collection exists in conversation with everything else. The new collection holds that standard, with Jonah Hill providing the campaign with a face that makes the whole thing feel lived-in and genuinely human. That combination is harder to manufacture than it looks.
