The fashion world for men is changing. For the spring summer of 2026, the men’s clothing returns to a classic view of elegance and streetwear looks are exchanged for more dressed outfits.
Given the uncertain geopolitical climate, brands opt for safe values: timeless styles that stay in fashion for a long time and have less chance of ending up on sale. Shorts, shirts with short sleeves and costume pants: FashionUnited looked at the pieces of the men’s shows for spring-summer 2026 to select the timeless items that will sell best.
The outdoor jacket
Outdoor items are the new classics. The combination of technical and casual clothing is already visible for a few seasons and is a keeper. In the spotlights: the short parka of technical material in bright colors.
The shorts
The shorts were a common factor in the men’s shows of the Fashion Weeks for Spring-Summer 2026. Short, even ultra-short, the shorts becomes an important piece of clothing, easy to combine and renewed in a lighter length.
The shirt with short sleeves
Because it is reminiscent of Elvis Presley or the engineers of NASA in the 1970s, the short -sleeved shirt is a classic with a wonderfully vintage charm. For spring-summer 2026, the short sleeves and the Boxy fit the shirt a nonchalant elegance, as can be seen at Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood and Dolce Gabbana.
The jacket
With a single or double row of knots, the popularity of the jacket reflects the new impulse of tailor art in men’s clothing. Classic and versatile, it expresses the wish for a more dressed look that forms a clear contrast with the hoodie jogging pants uniform of the post-covid era.
The costume pants
Just like the jacket, the costume pants adds a dressed elegance to the men’s look for spring-summer 2026. Worn with a wide fit and a belt, the somewhat retro appearance makes it a real classic that lasts a long time.
Slippers
A few seasons ago, their nonchalance wore the women’s clothing and contributed to the great success of the Havaianas brand. Now slippers, or flip-flops, also win the men for themselves. Prada, Louis Vuitton

The small scarf
A knotted bandana or a pleated scarf: the attention to detail now goes to the neck. As a finishing touch for an outfit, the scarf makes the look and adds an old -fashioned elegance. From Ami Paris to Agnès b. And acne studios: the finesse of this somewhat dandy detail could be seen in almost all men’s shows for spring-zomer 2026.
