Your Definitive Recap of Men's Fashion Week SS26

The Spring/Summer 2026 season is in full swing, featuring new presentations and runway shows from luxury labels. Though primarily focusing on menswear, we've seen a slew of co-ed shows taking place across London, Milan and Paris, from Martine Rose's return to UK soil to the most recent collection from Fiorucci.

Aside from those, the more traditional luxury brands have showcased menswear collections, with particular highlights including Prada, Saint Laurent and Pharrell's Louis Vuitton. With nearly half of the schedule still to go, it's safe to say that there are plenty more highlights to look out for, including Rick Owens, Willy Chavarria, Jonathan Anderson's Dior debut and of course, Jacquemus, who is set to close the season at the Château de Versailles.

Ahead, we revisit some of this season's standout moments so far.

Prada's "Change of Tone"

Prada's SS26 menswear collection was presented at Deposito of Fondazione Prada during Milan Fashion Week. Titled "A Change of Tone," the new collection marked a slightly different direction for the brand, moving away from themes of power dressing and instead, taking a softer approach to styling and layering. Despite a seemingly more muted approach to design, this collection's color palette was one for the books.

JORDANLUCA's Fashion Week Workout

Following the ever-iconic "Wedding" show that JORDANLUCA hosted last season, it's safe to say that the pressure to deliver this time around was pretty immense. Instead of falling prey to that pressure and trying to outdo themselves, the brand took a pause from the traditional schedule and prioritized wellness in the one place that does it best: the gym.

"It's not always the right time to create a spectacle, especially in the context of a broader cultural pivot as more and more of us seek places in which to become stronger and healthier," the brand explained in a press release. "There has been an industry-wide shift towards radical, conspicuous self-care. We've become less interested in fashion as theatre, as a cultural moment, and more interested in fashion as a tool for transformation," the duo continued.

Vivienne Westwood's Return to Menswear

Meanwhile, Vivienne Westwood did the opposite, unveiling its first menswear presentation since 2017. Presented during Milan Fashion Week, the showcase was held at Bar Rivoli near San Babila and featured a contemporary reinterpretation of masculinity, underpinned by the theme "Dandy Meets Granny." As a result, traditionally masculine styles were flipped on their head, paired with cut-out silhouettes, exposed skin and of course: Vivienne Westwood's signature platforms.

Saint Laurent

Saint Laurent easily wins best location so far, transporting guests to the grand rotunda of the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection. The showcase was staged amidst Céleste Boursier-Mougenot's incredibly picturesque "Clinamen" installation and explored themes of elegance and identity. Sticking to a sartorial formula of structured shirts, shorts and trousers, the collection featured hues of khaki and olive green, paired with hits of mustard, aubergine and black.

Pharrell and Louis Vuitton's Homage to India

Pharrell Williams' Louis Vuitton finally had its India moment this season, following on from showcases like Vivienne Westwood and Dior. Celebrating Indian sartorialism, the showcase took place in Paris's 4th arrondissement and took inspiration from the film, The Darjeeling Limited. Presented amidst a "Snakes and Ladders" board game-themed runway, designed in collaboration with Studio Mumbai, the showcase featured embroidered trunks, pastel-colored suits and LV' signature monogramming.
