In Milan and Paris this season, when the temperature wasn’t creeping up past 90 degrees it was deluging, with walls of water falling from the sky. Not that any of that was going to stop the street stylers from dressing to impress.
Who could fail to notice all the twinning looks? On both real-life twins, as well as on friends, and even mothers and sons like Helen Lasichanh and her child with Pharrell Williams, Rocket. Football (and football jersey) fever was ramped up with the FIFA World Cup prelude tournaments taking place this summer, and a similar celebratory spirit extended to showgoers who looked like they were ready to head off to Disney—except they were actually on their way to the Comme des Garçons Homme Plus show.
We also noticed scarves worn like babushkas, a style choice as practical as it was chic, given the heat, and sarongs, which hit the streets even before Julian Klausner made such a splash with them at his debut menswear show for Dries Van Noten.
Below, the 11 street style trends from the spring 2026 menswear shows.
