Barbour might be best known for its waxed jackets and winter-ready outerwear, but its summer collection is just as well crafted. Whether you're heading to the coast, a country show, or simply out for a sunny walk, Barbour has lighter layers and breathable fabrics ideal for the season.
Why Barbour Works in Summer
Barbour’s summer range focuses on comfort without losing that classic British country look. With lighter cottons, relaxed fits, and soft colour palettes, it's easy to wear whether you're in town or the countryside.
From smart-casual polo shirts to breezy linen-blend shirts, the brand balances practicality and style with pieces that can be dressed up or down.
Top Barbour Pieces for Summer 2025
1. Barbour Polo Shirts
Smart enough for the pub garden, casual enough for everyday wear. Barbour polos are breathable and well-cut, with subtle branding and soft-touch cotton.
2. Barbour Lightweight Wax Jackets
Perfect for cooler evenings, these offer the look of Barbour's heritage without the bulk.
3. Barbour Summer Shirts
Light cotton or linen-blend shirts in checks and soft tones pair well with chinos or shorts. Roll the sleeves for a relaxed, timeless feel.
4. Barbour Shorts
Tidy chino shorts and cargo styles are ideal for country walks or coastal escapes. Neutral tones like sand or navy keep things versatile.
