Louis Vuitton has revealed the second act of its “New Formal” menswear collection.
A trans-seasonal Spring sequel to the house’s last collection, this new chapter focuses on timeless businesswear, modern tailoring, and elevated staples for evening.
Slim suiting cut in noble fabrics includes single-breasted jackets and fitted cigarette trousers in everyday shades of solid black and navy, plus white for evening.
Reprising Louis Vuitton heritage, the agenda-setting Damier motif introduced by Pharrell Williams, the Maison’s Men’s Creative Director, now appears elegantly transposed onto formal occasionwear and footwear, which are complemented by a wavy motif or pinstripes cut on the bias.
These pieces naturally pair with refined Oxford shirts with bevelled collars and cuffs, or a double-faced, reversible bomber with one side in solid black and the other in grey Monogram. Tonal accessories — such as the sleek, functional LV Aerogram Pilot Briefcase — are accompanied by footwear styles like the Voltaire modern fashion derby in glazed calf leather with a gradient Damier finish, a nod to the signature introduced on the runway in June 2023; Sorbonne loafers in shades of tobacco and black, or the Varenne classic leather Chelsea boots and Richelieus. Complementary accessories, such as the ergonomic Fastline Messenger in black LV Aerogram, tonal neckties, and leather-handled key fobs complete the lineup.
The season’s essential tailored outerwear includes an elegant blouson in soft navy suede leather, a beige peacoat with a shearling collar, and a versatile mid-season parka that works as a three-in-one. Iconic bag styles — the Keepall travel bag, the Aerogram Lock It tote, and the new Georges statement tote in Millésime grained leather — round off the collection.
