Brunello Cucinelli has unveiled its Spring-Summer 2026 menswear collection, titled “The Shape of Light”.
The collection explores masculine elegance, defined by fluid silhouettes, sartorial precision and a focus on freedom of expression through refined design.
The collection reinterprets classic tailoring. Blazers, slightly lengthened in a nod to early 1990s style, are paired with trousers that maintain structured silhouettes while embracing softer lines. A capsule of cocktail and informal eveningwear introduces jackets with satin-free shawl lapels, worn over silk-cotton knits to present a sophisticated but relaxed alternative to traditional formalwear.
Colour plays a central role in the collection. Vibrant hues such as orange, apricot, royal blue and coral red are featured prominently, set against a palette of bright whites and understated neutrals. Entire looks in blue reinterpret Brunello Cucinelli’s signature Solomeo shade, offering a modern balance between expressive colour and timeless style.
Textile choice underscores the brand’s commitment to luxury. The use of wool, silk and linen in light, flowing forms reflects a deliberate emphasis on texture and movement. Outerwear, including trenches and coats, is constructed in pure silk for a combination of natural elegance and technical performance. Tailored patterns add a further layer of refinement.
Knitwear is defined by lightness and fresh textures, incorporating subtle design details. Shirts include unstructured collars and original patterns in exclusive colourways, combining retro influences with contemporary aesthetics. Leather goods feature soft, lightweight finishes in pale tones, while footwear is designed for comfort and breathability. Loafers, derby shoes and sneakers are crafted using unlined, high-quality materials in a deconstructed style.
