MENSWEAR TRENDS FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2026
SOFT POWER
Structure softens noticeably. Fabrics are lighter, construction less defined, and the overall effect feels almost effortless - though, as is often the case in fashion, it’s a carefully crafted illusion. Somewhere between a morning coffee and an evening aperitivo, a new dress code emerges, one that brings a sense of domestic ease into a more public context.
Silk pyjama-inspired sets from Dolce & Gabbana, pleated shirts by Issey Miyake Homme Plissé, and linen pieces build a new everyday uniform. They are complemented by straight-leg trousers with soft pleats from Jacquemus. The result? Effortless sophistication with a relaxed edge.
EXPRESSIVE SURFACE
What once played a supporting role now takes center stage. Patterns, colors, and graphics are no longer accents—they define the entire look. From bold prints to saturated hues, everything builds toward a single effect. When the shirt does all the talking, the rest of the wardrobe can step back.
In practice, this means confident combinations. Silk shirts with abstract motifs from Versace or more subtle patterns by Jil Sander set the tone. Lightweight jackets from Saint Laurent and mixed-material designs further prove that boldness defines the aesthetic of the season.
MODERN DENIM
Denim remains a constant point of reference, yet its interpretation continues to evolve. Familiar silhouettes are subtly shifted - in proportion, color, or finish - just enough to give them a new character. Sometimes, a single detail is all it takes for something well-known to feel entirely different.
Lemaire explores the strength of denim through boxy jacket constructions, while Diesel, the undisputed king of contemporary denim, proves that every interpretation can feel like the right one. Vetements brings a bold perspective, showing that denim can be both classic and provocative. A true wardrobe foundation, it gains renewed freshness and a distinctly modern edge this season.
