Men’s fashion in 2026 is rewriting the rules. After years of oversized hoodies and streetwear dominance, the mood is shifting towards refinement.

Designers are slowing things down, turning to tailoring, craftsmanship, and pieces built to last. Classic garments are reinterpreted with new proportions, fresh fabrics, and subtle vintage references, offering men a wardrobe that feels both modern and timeless.

Key Pieces to Watch

• Men’s Suits: The tracksuits of the Covid era are being replaced by tailored suits with a modern edge. Jackets and trousers are cut oversized, making suiting more versatile and inclusive.
• Dress Trousers: Styled down with a simple white T-shirt and penny loafers, they feel relaxed rather than formal. Wide cuts add comfort and flow.
• Boxy Shirts: Short-sleeved and inspired by Elvis Presley, these shirts will be wardrobe essentials. Whether buttoned or open, they are a statement piece backed by Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, and Vivienne Westwood.
• Parka Jacket (see main image): Shortened for 2026 and updated in technical fabrics and bold colours. Pair with straight-cut trousers for a casual yet elegant finish.
• Short Shorts: Hemlines rise. Combined with loafers, socks, and lightweight jackets, they deliver a preppy edge.
• Neckerchief: A sophisticated update on a cowboy classic, this accessory is now firmly part of the men’s style vocabulary.
• Fedora Hat: This timeless piece continues to add vintage charm and polish to contemporary looks.
• Coats: Trench coats and knee-length wool coats remain staples but are refreshed with innovative materials and cuts.

Styling Tip

Choose neutrals like Armani blue, grey, and Max Mara camel as your foundation. Add suspenders instead of a belt for a cool, individual touch.

If men’s fashion for 2026 had to be summed up in three words, they would be: refined, individual, emotional.
