Men’s Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 has officially wrapped in Milan and Paris. Across several packed days, the runways played host to a dynamic mix of luxury heavyweights and buzzy up-and-comers, each offering their take on what modern masculinity looks like today.
From heritage brands reinventing their house codes to creative leads stepping into new chapters (yes, we’re talking about Jonathan Anderson at Dior), this season proved that men’s fashion continues to expand. SS26 wasn’t just about trends – it was about self-expression, fresh perspective, and the confidence to blur the lines between classic and experimental, structure and softness.
Before attention shifts to Paris Haute Couture (starting 7 July, mark your calendars!), we’re spotlighting the 10 men’s shows that stood out this season. Whether for their technical brilliance, cultural impact, or sheer style power, these are the ones you’ll want to revisit and take notes from.
Dolce & Gabanna
Dolce & Gabbana’s SS26 menswear show, titled Pyjama Boys, masterfully blurred the lines between lounge and luxury by turning soft-striped pyjamas into runway-ready separates. Models drifted in crinkled cotton twinsets layered under oversized suiting, parkas, and furry coats – sometimes styled with sleek leather Bermuda shorts or fuzzy sliders, striking a perfect balance between ease and elegance.
The finale spilled out of the Metropol venue onto sunlit Viale Piave, where bejeweled pyjama sets and embroidered slippers paraded into the streets, reinforcing Dolce & Gabbana’s talent for theatrical, Italian-style flair. Above all, the collection celebrated a luxuriously relaxed masculinity, where comfort and craft coexist without compromise.
Prada
Set against an industrial backdrop with ambient birdsong and oversized floral carpets, Prada’s SS26 men’s collection embraced subtle rebellion. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons challenged traditional menswear with playfully exaggerated shorts, trench coats, and cropped trousers in candy-bright and utilitarian tones.
Titled A Change of Tone, the show pushed back against fashion’s excess, offering a focused mix of sport, uniform, and leisurewear. The result was a thoughtful, wearable collection that proved simplicity can still make a strong statement.
Giorgio Armani
Giorgio Armani’s SS26 menswear show stayed true to the House’s signature language of soft tailoring and understated elegance. The collection featured fluid suiting, unstructured blazers, airy shirts, and relaxed trousers in a muted palette of sand, grey, and ocean blue – perfectly suited for warm-weather ease.
Linen, silk, and lightweight knits reinforced the season’s focus on breathability and movement, while subtle geometric prints and tonal layering added depth without distraction. It was a confident reminder that quiet luxury, when done well, never goes out of style.
Saint Laurent
Presented in the rotunda of the Bourse de Commerce art museum, Saint Laurent’s SS26 menswear show delivered a sharp, cinematic study in minimalism and precision. Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello focused on elongated silhouettes, ultra-slim tailoring, and a largely monochrome palette, infused with occasional flashes of metallic and sheer fabrics.
Lightweight shirts, tailored trousers, and boxy jackets conveyed quiet confidence, while subtle fabric contrasts added depth to the restrained palette. The result was a sleek, architectural collection that felt both modern and timeless.
Louis Vuitton
Louis Vuitton’s SS26 menswear collection, led by Pharrell Williams, reimagined classic tailoring through a global, street-meets-savoir-faire lens. Staged at UNESCO’s Paris HQ, the collection blended crisp suiting, varsity silhouettes, and military touches, elevated by rich textures, bold prints, and meticulous hand-finished embellishments.
Craftsmanship and cultural storytelling took center stage, with nods to diasporic influence and cross-continental artistry. And in true Pharrell fashion, the soundtrack matched the energy – bold, immersive, and impossible to ignore.
Issey Miyake
Issey Miyake’s SS26 menswear collection offered a poetic exploration of motion and material, reaffirming the brand’s commitment to innovation through design. The show featured garments engineered to move with the body – think flowing silhouettes, soft tailoring, and the brand’s signature pleats that came alive in motion.
Lightweight mesh, technical fabrics, and layered knits created a breezy, sculptural effect, while the earthy palette of neutrals, ocean blues, and citrus tones added quiet vibrancy. More than just a display of craftsmanship, the collection underscored Miyake’s belief that clothing should feel freeing – liberating both to wear and to watch.
Dior Homme
Dior Homme’s SS26 show marked the highly anticipated debut of Jonathan Anderson as creative director, stepping into the role following Kim Jones’s departure, and signaling a new era for the house. Anderson leaned into archival references – reworking the legendary 1948 Delft dress, Marc Bohan’s signature green cape, and the 1952 “La Cigale” couture gown – translating them into subtly sculptural menswear layering.
The runway, inspired by Berlin’s Gemäldegalerie and set against Chardin still-life paintings (borrowed from the Louvre and the National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh), reinforced the collection’s focus on pared-back elegance and curated artistic references. The result was a harmonious blend of Dior’s heritage elegance and Anderson’s modern, thoughtful tailoring.
Hermès
For Spring/Summer 2026, Véronique Nichanian offered a breezy, confident vision of city dressing – one rooted in fluid tailoring, luxurious textures, and quiet refinement. Openwork leather appeared throughout the collection in lattice-cut shirts and jackets, balanced by soft knits, relaxed trousers, and tailored outerwear.
A palette of sandy neutrals, sage green, and muted burgundy captured a sense of understated sophistication, while modular leather bags and silk twill bandanas with raw edges added movement and tactile contrast. It was modern elegance at its most effortless – refined, wearable, and distinctly Hermès.
Jacquemus
Jacquemus’ SS26 menswear show at the Château de Versailles Orangerie celebrated the designer’s rural roots with refined, countryside-inspired tailoring. Crisp cotton suits, capri-style trousers, and structured blazers were accented by signature headscarves and graphic stripes, echoing the brand’s timeless yet playful approach.
The soft neutral palette – milky whites, creams, and sandy tones – was punctuated by pastel stripes and hues of yellow, conjuring the sun-drenched warmth of the South of France. With its mix of simplicity, craftsmanship, and emotional storytelling, the collection affirmed Jacquemus’ evolution into a house that balances ease with quiet sophistication.
AMIRI
Set in a fictional “Château AMIRI” complete with fountains and pergolas, the SS26 show evoked a dreamy, post-party atmosphere. Relaxed tailoring came in the form of silk smoking jackets, jacquard robes, and embroidered bombers, woven with artist Wes Lang’s delicate bird and botanical motifs.
Tassel-trimmed pajamas, monogrammed slippers, and pastel pinstripes added to the collection’s sense of lived-in luxury. Founder and Creative Director, Mike Amiri continues to refine his vision of modern luxury with a cinematic, soft-focus edge.
