Harrods inkoper over mannemodetrends op Paris Fashion Week

The Paris Fashion Week Men’s Spring/Summer 2026, which took place from 24 to 29 June, felt optimistic and at the same time was ‘both contemporary and human’, said Simon Longland, purchasing director Fashion at the British luxury Harrods Luxury Department Store.

“There was a rare sense of coherence in Paris – designers this season unusually like their vision, with common themes that emerged in collections without ever feeling distracted,” Longland stated in a statement. “What struck me the most was optimism. We saw collections rooted in beauty, certainly, but also based on real clothing, designed for real life – pieces to desire, to wear and ultimately retain. There was a clarity of goal that felt both contemporary and human. “

What were your favorite collections of the PFW Men’s SS26 season?

Dior, Junya Watanabe, Saint Laurent and Lemaire jumped out for me, each with its own story, but with a shared quiet self -confidence. Jonathan Anderson’s debut for Dior felt particularly confident – elegant, intellectual and emotionally resonant.

Saint Laurent offered sensuality with precision, while Junya and Lemaire brought difficult elegance through their characteristic razor -sharp focus.

What did you think of Jonathan Anderson’s debut at Dior?

This was without a doubt the most anticipated men’s show of the season – and Jonathan exceeded expectations. He brought his characteristic brightness and convenience to Dior and delivered a collection that combined everything we like about his work with everything we are looking for in Dior: refinement, portability and quiet self -confidence. These are items of clothing to desire, to possess and retain. A powerful new vision of the Dior man: elegant but relaxed, simple but special.

What was the most attractive show concept?

Rick Owens shifted, not surprising, boundaries – this time quite literally. Models climbed monumental metal scaffolding, walked through step-by-step fountains in towering KISS boots and changed the catwalk into performance art. It was surreal, primal and extremely fascinating. Only in Paris such a spectacle could unfold without (apparently) one health and safety form in sight.

PFW Men’s SS26 Trends: Pajama dressing, Stripes and Denim

What emerging trends or style directions did you see at PFW men’s SS26?

• Pajama dressing dominated the week: flowing, soft silhouettes that winked to convenience, but never laziness.
• Stripes were omnipresent: fat, graphic, rooted in tradition, but used with fresh energy.
• The language of the suit was rewritten: unstructured, fluent, deep modern.

• Denim, in all its forms, was everywhere.
• Shirts and collars gave almost every look a base and an upgrade.
• Shorts varied greatly in length, from micro to maxi, but were unmistakably important.
• Color was also central in the most successful collections: lively, goal -oriented and mood -enhancing.

Was there a ‘must-have’ item for you?

I hesitate to choose one product because I believe that that moment is over. What now resonates is the idea of ​​individual curation: collections that are not designed to dictate, but to invite. The must-have is no longer a single item, but rather the pieces that reflect the personal sensitivity and rhythm of every man.
