Every summer has a uniform. Last year it was linen everything. This year, judging by what keeps selling out of our rail, it’s CULTNAKED: gingham co-ords, halter necks, mini skirts with the shorts already built in, and one very impractical, very good feather clutch. The Ukrainian label has quietly become the brand our customers ask for by name, and the summer drop we’re carrying at MIXMVSE in London is its strongest yet, all in strictly limited runs.
Here’s how we’d wear it, piece by piece.
The gingham set everyone will ask you about
Gingham is having its biggest summer in years, and CULTNAKED’s version doesn’t play it safe. The Vixen shorts in green gingham (£205) are high-waisted, sharp and cut in a breathable cotton-lyocell blend that survives a heatwave. Wear them with the matching Vixen bandeau corset top (£258) and you’ve got a full look that needs nothing else — or split the set and let each half carry a different outfit. There’s also a brown gingham bandeau (£260) if green isn’t your colour. One of each size, that’s it.
Aqua, the colour of July
If gingham is the print of the season, aqua is the colour. The Paloma halter top (£230) and the Shuffle mini skirt (£220) come in the same saturated aqua blue and are made from 100% recycled polyester. The skirt has shorts built in — a skort, technically, though it doesn’t look like one — which makes it the rare mini you can actually dance, cycle and sit on a terrace in. Together they’re the outfit for a summer party; apart, the halter works over denim and the skirt with a plain white tee.
For the nights that go long
CULTNAKED built its name on evening pieces with attitude, and three carry-overs prove why. The Matcha halter jumpsuit (£460) in green is the one-and-done option — zip it up, add sandals, leave. The Bean top in python-embossed vegan leather (£150) is a sculpted bra top that sits close to the body and works as hard under a blazer as it does on its own. And the mini shorts in black leather (£243) — real leather, cotton-lined — are what you wear when the dress feels too expected.
Finish with the Snap clutch in Dalmatian (£818) — 90% ostrich feathers, one compartment, zero practicality, complete joy. There is exactly one.
The daytime pieces you’ll live in
Not everything needs an occasion. The Sexy & Talented embroidered tee (£135) is an oversized white cotton T-shirt with the message stitched, not printed — the easiest entry point into the brand. The Big Walk pants (£205) are low-rise organic-cotton capris with a barrel leg, and the full-length barrel pants in brown (£490) do the same silhouette for days when you want trousers to be the whole point. For later in the season, the burnt faux-leather Killa corset (£165) and Killa pants (£260) are the set to carry you into September.
Who is CULTNAKED?
CULTNAKED is an independent womenswear label made in Ukraine, known for corsetry, vegan and genuine leather pieces, saturated colour and a frankly unapologetic attitude to dressing. Every piece we stock at MIXMVSE arrives in a strictly limited run — usually one S and one M — so when a size goes, it’s gone. We ship from London across the UK, the US and worldwide. If you’re between sizes or want measurements before ordering, message us and we’ll measure the actual garment for you.
Complete the look
Pair any of the above with the IAMNOTBASIC Kylie maxi dress (£75) for the days in between, or hand-embroidered knee-high socks by TO BE Accessories (£45) if you like your summer looks with a wink.

Most CULTNAKED pieces run true to size with a fitted, body-conscious cut; corset and bandeau styles are structured, so if you’re between sizes we suggest sizing up. We hold the garments in London and can confirm exact measurements before you order.
What is the best CULTNAKED piece for summer 2026?
The green gingham Vixen co-ord (shorts £205, bandeau £258) and the aqua Paloma halter + Shuffle skirt set are the standout summer 2026 pieces — both are strictly limited, with roughly one piece per size.
Is CULTNAKED sustainable?
Several summer pieces are cut in 100% recycled polyester or organic cotton blends, production is small-run by design, and the label manufactures in Ukraine — buying it supports independent Ukrainian fashion directly.
