The best of Paris Men’s Fashion Week SS27

Unless you’ve been living under a rock this season, you’ve probably already seen Pharrell Williams literally turn Paris into a beach for Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2027 menswear opener. But beyond the viral theatrics, Paris Men’s Fashion Week SS27 delivered a broader mood shift. While some houses leaned into familiar codes, others pushed a more fluid idea of masculinity that felt refreshing against the heatwave-struck city. The season ultimately felt like a study in contrasts, and a message that masculinity in SS27 is being rewritten in a wardrobe that finally breathes. Read on for the best of Paris Men’s Fashion Week 2026.

Louis Vuitton

Paying an ode to surf culture, Pharrell Williams literally made a beach for the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2027 menswear showcase presenting a collection with lightweight suiting, monogrammed wetsuits, palm-print separates, checkerboard patterns and performance-inspired details reimagined the modern dandy through a sun-soaked lens. The show explored water as both a visual motif and a symbol of movement, freedom and cultural exchange. Beyond the spectacle, the production also underscored sustainability, with recycled water systems, repurposed sand and a marine conservation partnership reinforcing Louis Vuitton’s broader environmental commitments. 

Dior Homme

Presented at the Musée Nissim de Camondo in Paris, the Spring/Summer 27 collection by Jonathan Anderson explored the tension between polished aristocratic dressing and the carefree spirit of after-hours rebellion. We saw tailored jackets, relaxed tuxedos, shimmering denim, sequined trousers, frayed knitwear and fluid shorts layered with effortless ease. Anderson also revisited archival Dior codes including nods to Marc Bohan’s legacy, while subtly referencing the rock-and-roll energy once synonymous with Dior Homme. The collection celebrated imperfection, individuality and modern masculinity.

Hermès

Shown as an intimate presentation instead of a traditional runway spectacle, the Spring/Summer 27 collection highlighted featherlight craftsmanship, with airy cotton shirts, perforated leather jackets, supple suede blousons and fluid trousers creating a wardrobe designed for movement. There were earthy neutrals, soft blues and sun-faded tones to get you in the relaxed mood, while Hermès’ signature emphasis on exceptional materials and meticulous construction remained at the forefront. 

Saint Laurent

Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2027 menswear collection, presented at the Bourse de Commerce against a dreamlike mist installation by Japanese artist Fujiko Nakaya embraced lightness – both literally and metaphorically. There were unlined tailoring, fluid silk shirts, sheer knits and softly structured jackets in a sun-faded palette of peach, powder blue, sand and ivory. Vaccarello introduced subtle provocations through translucent fabrics and clear lace-up footwear. The overall edit felt like a shift away from overt drama towards quiet confidence.

Celine

Celine presented one of the season’s most closely watched menswear moments under the direction of Michael Rider, that leaned into a tension between restraint and personality, where sharply tailored overcoats, cropped trousers, and fluid drawstring silhouettes coexisted within a single, coherent wardrobe vision. Rather than building a singular theme, Rider’s approach felt like a “cast of characters” dressed in variations of the same Celine man – balancing slim, elongated tailoring with softer, more relaxed proportions that hinted at ease without abandoning precision.
