The Best of Paris Fashion Week: Menswear Spring/Summer 2026!

The biggest event in men’s fashion has made its way to Paris yet again, and it was the hottest event of the past week (June 24-29). Quite literally! But the weather wasn’t the only thing that said "turn up the heat a notch"; so did designer brands. Mixing traditions with new ways to stand out and be bold, many brands at Paris Fashion Week represented the theme of Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 to a Tee. Showing up and showing out on the runway, star-studded appearances, vibrant colors, elegance, and culture, Paris Fashion Week embodied innovation and let it be known to the rest of the fashion world to take notes. 

Louis Vuitton

It’s fitting that we start from home base with French Luxury. Founded in 1854 in Paris, Louis Vuitton continues to be a staple in fashion centuries later. The LV monogram is one-of-a-kind and unforgettable. From accessories like purses, luggage, and jewelry to fashion such as dresses and streetwear, Louis Vuitton proves why it is one of the most unique and valuable fashion brands. This year at Paris Fashion Week, Louis Vuitton’s creative director Pharrell Williams, who also happens to be a music pioneer and legendary producer, hopped into the creative director seat and snapped. Inspired by his first-ever trip to India in 2018, Pharrell and his team studied Indian Sartorialism. Specifically, the warm colors stood out to Pharrell, and he decided to incorporate that into the theme of this year’s show. Textures inspired by Indian Sartorialism were also demonstrated. Combining culture, colors, lightweight fabrics, and quiet luxury, Louis Vuitton brought out many faces, including Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who sat front row. Pharrell’s theme this year didn’t just embrace luxury fashion; more importantly, it embraced the luxury and richness behind culture, the original flex. 

Dior Homme

Keeping it in France, Dior is another French luxury brand that has continued to reach new heights centuries later. Dior has always kept up with modernizing fashion, luxury, and traditions. This year was no different, as Dior’s new creative director, Jonathan Anderson, debuted his first collection with the brand. Jonathan’s collection combined history with today’s culture. Jonathan was inspired by the youth, specifically younger boys, grabbing clothes from a trunk and just pulling them on. His collection for this year’s show can be described as a "play on history and affluence". Models that walked the runway were spotted in preppy and classical clothes, including knit cable sweaters, blue jeans, military style jackets, ties, dress shirts, and much more. Jonathan’s first show with Dior Homme also included new elements such as wide chino cargo shorts. Jonathan’s debut in the creative director chair left many highly anticipating what to expect. Celebrities that popped up to support included A$AP Rocky, Rihanna, Sabrina Carpenter, Robert Pattinson, Daniel Craig, Drew Starkey, and many more. Jonathan’s collection was a win for Dior Homme; he even teased how his collection could appeal to women too.

Hermès

If you’re aware of current fashion and accessory trends, you are probably familiar with the Birkin bag. The girls love a Birkin bag; it's the ultimate status symbol. Hermès is the mastermind behind the Birkin bag and much more. The French luxury brand also creates impeccable leather goods, elegant and handmade luxury. Hermès’ artistic director, Véronique Nichanian, followed the theme of lightwear fashion for Paris Fashion Week this past weekend especially in the scorching heat. Models were spotted wearing loose-fitting tops that created a sense of delicate, flowing, and breathable fabric. A majority of models wore earth tones as well as wore sandals, while others kept to the tradition of Hermès by wearing leather boots. Accesories included leather bags and silk bandanas. Hermès definitely demonstrated how to be stylish and fly while remaining cool.

Amiri

Amiri, a brand founded in California in 2014 is a brand that is highly influenced by California and Hollywood culture including rock & roll aesthetics. Amiri is well-known for their luxury denim, leather jackets, graphic tees, and other designs. This year, similar to last season, Amiri kept their California influence and based their collection around a “club amiri” scene again but this time focusing more on the morning after. The collection blended loungewear and tailored outfits and demonstrated the intimacy of hotel life. Mike Amiri, American designer and founder of Amiri, was influenced by artist Wes Lang, whose motifs inspired “embroidery and jacquard details, weaving nature into design.” The front row was also star-studded, including J. Balvin, French Montana, Michael Cooper Jr., and Anuel AA. 

Willy Chavarria

Willy Chavarria’s HURON collection was certainly one for the books. Fashion looks included vibrant colors such as red, blue, and green. Suits were worn with italian-made tailoring and, most importantly, the collection for the season of 2026 made a bold, powerful statement. HURON serves as a reminder of current events happening in the United States. To begin the show, 35 men were kneeling wearing white shirts that were a collaboration with the American Civil Liberties Union, creating an important message. As the show continued, the bold colors represented rebellion. Willy Chavarria’s fashion show this year also included an Adidas collab which allows sportswear to be an everyday statement. Notable faces were not only watching but also walked the fashion show -- New England Patriots wide receiver Steffon Diggs and UFC Fighter Marlon “Chita” Vera, just to name two. 

Paris Fashion Week Menswear Spring Summer 2026 collection had so much in store and plenty to offer. From culturally-rich fashion to themes of tailored suits, this year’s Paris Fashion Week was more than just clothes -- it was a statement.
