Top 10 Men’s Collections of Spring 2026

“[Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons’] spring show echoed the mood of Rineke Dijkstra’s arresting 1993 portrait of an adolescent boy on the beach in Odesa, Ukraine, wearing burgundy swimming trunks that are a tad too big: He’s the picture of vulnerability, but also dignified and proud.” – Miles Socha

“Hermès’ big message this season? Talk to the hand…. From the leather openwork weave on shirts and trousers, to the rough edges on jaunty silk twill bandanas, to the ribbed and nubby knits, this collection was as sensual as it gets.” – Samantha Conti

“Normally a fashion show that lasts 30 minutes would test your patience, but not when it’s wrapped in an electrifying dance performance about the human condition that leaves you gasping, and stifling tears….So bravo to Y-3 for a pulse-pounding, life-affirming experience that was also a nifty way to showcase how its spring collection not only looks good, but can also take a bruising.” – Miles Socha

“[Rick Owens] returned to the parvis behind the Palais de Tokyo for the standing- only show, where models walked an elevated plank high above the central basin, gingerly descending on ladders in their Frankenstein boots, wading through the knee-deep water and dousing themselves before climbing back up and securing themselves on the grid structure with giant silver carabiners…. The show will be remembered for the bone-shuddering bass of the Klaus Nomi soundtrack, and the decadence of submerging all those expensive shoes and leather coats.” – Miles Socha

“At the Louis Vuitton menswear show in Paris, [India’s] soft power was on full display in a collection that celebrated its craftsmanship and culture — zhuzhed up with an LV twist.” – Joelle Diderich

“To achieve layering that is not cumbersome, [Alessandro] Sartori worked his magic with fabrics, delivering the lightest of linen suits weighing only 300 grams in total, entirely deconstructed and unlined, yet developed in a new double-stitching technique — “like a sandwich,” he said ahead of the show, exceptionally held in Dubai, at the city’s Opera theater.” – Luisa Zargani

“In a bid to raise his growing international profile, Chavarria has inked a deal with Charles Jourdan, reworking men’s and women’s styles from the brand’s archive. He’s also been spending time with Bourdin’s ad campaigns for the French brand, which were famously filled with bright, saturated color and surreal imagery…. That statement color seeped straight into the spring 2026 collection, which had more womenswear than ever before.” – Samantha Conti

“What a surprise to see that Armani had thrown caution to the wind with a transporting and daring Emporio collection of flowing tunics, harem pants, gauzy tailoring, ponchos and carpet bags, evoking seminal campaigns from the ’90s shot in Morocco by Aldo Fallai.” – Miles Socha

“[Anthony] Vaccarello’s bean-pole models filed around the pool with a nonchalant attitude, their hands shoved into the pockets of jaunty little shorts, or tapered, multipleat pants with an ’80s vibe. All of them wore outsized acrylic sunglasses that brought to mind the ones Johnny Depp famously sported in ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.’” – Miles Socha

“Jonathan Anderson’s debut for Dior was one for the history books….The lineup was built on the tension between three pillars: almost aggressively normcore staples; replica historical garments, and conceptual pieces inspired by three haute couture dresses from the early Dior archives: the Caprice, the Cigale and the Delft.” – Joelle Diderich
