THE 10 BEST FW26 MEN’S RUNWAY LOOKS FROM MILAN & PARIS FASHION WEEK
Fall/Winter 2026 Men’s Fashion Week in Milan and Paris made one thing very clear: Modern menswear is no longer about choosing between elegance and experimentation. The strongest looks this season proved that timeless dressing and creative risk can coexist, sometimes within the same outfit. These are the 10 best FW26 runway looks that truly stood out. Not just visually, but also in terms of wearability, attitude and long-term relevance.
1. Zegna
I honestly could have picked a handful of looks from this Zegna collection. But this layered look featuring one of the most beautiful suede jackets of the season made the strongest impression. It perfectly balances Zegna’s tailoring heritage with a modern, relaxed sensibility. Classy, timeless, and undeniably current. This is contemporary luxury at its best.
2. Hermès
Hands down: This is probably the best outfit I’ve ever seen from Hermès. The pinstriped leather suit is flawless as a full look, but its true brilliance lies in versatility. Pair the trousers with a simple white tee or throw the blazer over rugged denim. Either way, it’s a masterclass in elevated modern dressing.
3. Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren made a powerful statement with its first menswear runway show in decades. This look blends preppy codes with midwestern influences, proving that contrasts don’t have to clash. Instead they can harmonize into something fresh, authentic and distinctly American.
4. Kartik Research
This is a look I can genuinely see myself wearing on a casual, laid-back summer day. Floating silhouettes, artisanal textures, and hand-stitched details give it an effortless charm. Kartik Research continues to excel at clothing that feels personal, soulful and quietly confident.
5. Songzio
Let me introduce you to the best coat of this entire fashion week season. The creased, worn-in finish gives it depth and character, while the proportions and especially the length feel absolutely perfect. This is outerwear that doesn’t try too hard yet says everything.
6. Dries Van Noten
This look immediately caught my attention and easily earns the number one spot for styling. Mixing prints, colors and patterns this confidently is no small feat. Dries Van Noten’s creative director Julian Klausner once again proves that creativity, when executed with precision never looks chaotic, only sophisticated.
7. KidSuper
From the colorful coat to the leather trousers, this look is simply perfect. The layered shirts with the double collar add depth, while the yellow gloves tie everything together. Playful yet polished, expressive yet controlled. This one is a clear 10/10.
8. Lemaire
This Lemaire shearling jacket is living rent-free in my head and I doubt it will move out anytime soon. It’s one of those rare looks that feels destined to become a signature. Timeless, understated and endlessly wearable. The kind of outfit you’d reach for again and again.
9. AMI
If you asked me how a cosmopolitan man should dress today: cool, relevant, but not overly progressive… This look would be my answer. It captures the current zeitgeist effortlessly, striking the perfect balance between approachability and refinement.
10. Amiri
The suits were among my favorite Amiri pieces this season and this one clearly stood out. A pinstripe-western hybrid that somehow ticks every box: bold, tailored, modern and confident. I don’t just like it. I want it. Now.
Bonus: Paul Smith
I’m still mesmerized by this shirt combination. So much so that I’m already thinking about how to recreate it. Because waiting until late summer for these pieces to drop honestly feels way too long.
