The Hermès Spring-Summer 2026 menswear collection was revealed at the Palais d’Iéna in Paris this weekend.
Designed with a sharp focus on technical mastery the collection explores summer in the city through structured silhouettes, tactile materials, and a muted yet complex palette.
Textures and fabrications are central to the offering. Openwork leather appears throughout, used to sculpt shoulders, pant stripes, and entire shirts that play with air and transparency. Double saddle-like topstitching and ribbing offer signature detailing. There is a clear blurring of categories: shirt-jackets, hybrid jackets neither quite blousons nor windbreakers, and ample cropped trousers styled with rope-soled sandals.
The collection is characterised by straight lines, sharp angles, and precise contours. It employs an urban colour scheme that shifts between natural tones like kraft, caramel, coffee and putty, and more vibrant accents such as mint green, intense vanilla, and deep burgundy. Absent is black, replaced by greys described as the hue of “still-warm stones”.
The eveningwear maintains the tactile narrative. Highlights include a double-breasted shantung jacket, silk twill shirts, and cotton-silk blends with pleated details. Materials range from technical canvas and spinnaker to washed silk, compact cotton poplin, crepe cotton serge, and Étrivière lambskin.
Accessories support the urban nomad theme. These include calfskin and rope sandals, silk twill bandanas, and a range of bags such as the Bel-il, Étrivière Shopping, and Garden Party Voyage, crafted in printed H canvas and various leathers. Jewellery includes silver and white gold rings and bracelets in forms such as Clou de forge, Clou d’H and Boucle Sellier, alongside braided leather pieces with palladium-finish metals.
