Paris Men’s Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 brought a quiet shift in direction.

Color Trends at Paris Men’s Fashion Week SS26
Color choices in Paris this season felt intentional but not overdone. A lot of designers leaned into soft, earthy tones beige, taupe, brown, and slate showed up in collections like Hermès and Louis Vuitton, giving the clothes a grounded, relaxed feel without looking flat.
There were also quieter pops of color. Saint Laurent worked with moss green, orange, and navy, while lighter shades like dusty lavender and muted blue appeared across a few collections. Nothing too loud just enough to break up the neutrals and keep things fresh.
That said, some designers went all in. Rick Owens and Dries Van Noten brought in brighter hits like fuchsia, candy pink, and aqua, which gave their shows a burst of energy. Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton added rich, jewel-toned looks and playful patterns that stood out without feeling off-theme.
Fit & Silhouette Trends at Paris Men’s Fashion Week SS26
The fits in Paris this season reflected a broader shift in menswear: comfort is in, but it doesn’t mean sacrificing structure.
AMC (Aldo Maria Camillo) showed straight-cut trousers and long coats layered with ease. The silhouettes were structured but unfussy clean lines without tightness. Kiko Kostadinov played with function and form. His tailoring was fitted where needed, but eased elsewhere, with sleeves and hems that flared or fell loosely. The pieces looked technical, but wearable.
Designers like Namesake, Craig Green, and Kolor leaned into silhouettes with flexibility some cropped and boxy, others elongated and folded. Even when shapes were bold, they moved well.

Designers weren’t chasing sharp or tight silhouettes this season. The cuts felt more relaxed without losing the overall structure or intent.
Accessory Trends at Paris Men’s Fashion Week SS26
Accessories played a big part in shaping the mood of each collection.
Hermès kept things clean and practical with large leather bags that felt perfect for travel or everyday use. They were stylish but didn’t shout for attention, just well made and easy to carry. Willy Chavarria used soft bags, rounded sunglasses, and relaxed hats to give his looks a cool, laid-back energy. The accessories weren’t flashy, but they pulled the outfits together in a way that felt real and confident.
Saint Laurent stuck to their sharp aesthetic with oversized black sunglasses that gave a sleek finish to their flowy shirts and tailored pieces.

Print and Pattern Trends at Paris Men’s Fashion Week SS26
Prints weren’t everywhere this season, but when they appeared, they carried intention and individuality.
Hed Mayner worked floral prints into his oversized silhouettes. The faded, almost washed-out florals added a soft contrast to his structural shapes. KidSuper brought energy with his signature abstract graphics. The brushstroke-like designs had a personal, almost DIY feel, reinforcing his brand’s connection to art and storytelling.
Dries Van Noten turned to classic plaid and stripes, other designers like Walter Van Beirendonck, IM Men, and Juun.J used bold patterns like playful graphics, camouflage, and mixed-up stripes to add personality to their collections.
