16 Arlington

What 16Arlington is known for

Feathers first: natural ostrich, marabou and goose plumes applied by hand along the hem of the Hodi mini and the Maika midi, the cuffs of the Michelle top and the Adelaide dress, the split of the Wye. Then sequins, woven into a cloth and cut as the Electra gown and the Sior mini, textured into square and spiky surfaces on the Otis, Mika and Dioni. Then the Spring/Summer 2026 satin-and-lace set, the Clio camisole, Filipa cardigan, Ricci trouser and Elma shorts in chocolate, lilac and pale green, which is the house’s daywear. Of the 211 pieces here, 54 carry feathers, 55 are sequinned, 67 are satin and 72 are black; 180 are made in the United Kingdom and 26 in Portugal. The house, sometimes written 16 Arlington and pronounced sixteen Arlington, has shown at London Fashion Week since 2019, won the British Fashion Award for New Establishment Womenswear in 2024, dressed Kate and Lila Moss for the cover of British Vogue, Amal Clooney for the King’s Trust Awards and Lily Allen for her West End Girl shows, and in late 2025 released a 43-piece Marks and Spencer capsule and the 16 Looks collection with Antony Price.

How to wear it

One embellished piece leads and everything else stays quiet. A feather-hemmed mini with a plain pointed pump and a bare ear; a sequin column with one cuff and hair pulled back; the Clio camisole under a blazer with straight denim by day and with the Ricci trouser in the same shade by night. Match the metal of the jewellery to the tone of the sequin, silver with ivory and lilac, gold with chocolate and champagne, nothing with black, and wear the sheer chiffon and georgette pieces over a slip in the same tone.

Sizing

16Arlington cuts in UK sizes 4 to 18 and Luxury Handbags lists it on that ladder: UK 4 is US 0 and EU 32, UK 8 is US 4 and EU 36, UK 12 is US 8 and EU 40, UK 18 is US 14 and EU 46. The brand fits everything on a 178 cm model who wears a UK 8. The satin-and-lace pieces are cut in a stretch satin and fit true to size; the woven-sequin columns have no give, so size up if you are between sizes; the knits, shearlings and leathers come in S, M and L. Each product page carries the ladder for that style.
