Louis Vuitton Menswear Formal Spring/Summer 2026 Collection

Louis Vuitton Menswear Formal Spring/Summer 2026 Collection

Fashion United22-07-2025
A dedicated Louis Vuitton Formal Menswear Collection for Spring/Summer 2026 continues the House's history of elevating and innovating suiting pieces—in the forms of Timeless Businesswear, Modern Tailoring, Evening Wear, and an entire reimagining of the LV Aerogram leathergoods line. The iconic Formal Footwear line is thoughtfully updated and introduced in a stunning marine blue patina, among other tones.
This exquisite expression of style reestablishes the codes of a preceding New Formal Collection, an interpretation of Men's Creative Director Pharrell Williams's distinctive vocabulary and current obsessions, as well as Louis Vuitton's unmistakable signatures.
Timeless Businesswear is defined by direction and intentionality, showing the potency of nuance in power dressing. Classic and sophisticated jackets, trousers, and light overcoats in brushed wool and wool-cashmere blends allow for layering over an array of crisp shirting options.
Etched horn buttons, small LV medallions, and tonal jacquard patterns of a repeated LV or a pinstripe made up of LVs subtly nod to the appeal of branded consistency. Smart yet understated, these silhouettes are seasonless in spirit, designed to withstand the tempo of modern schedules in metropolises.
The Sorbonne line for the first time sees a High Derby style. It, along with the classic Loafer, is offered now in rich brown suede. The beloved Major Loafer in glazed leather is reintroduced with a streamlined face and an embossed Marque L. Vuitton Deposée signature on its upper.
Modern Tailoring challenges the structure of the suit by incorporating other iconic shapes, such as the button-flap pocket workwear blouson, the hooded blouson, the high-collared tracksuit jacket, the half-zipped wool sweater, the knit blazer, and even a tailored notch lapel trucker, with denim-style metal buttons.
This bold mix-and-match approach inspires an evolved understanding of meeting the dress code. Here, where formality does not in any way equal rigidity, newness arrives through proportion, details, and texture. Crewneck sweaters, polos, shawl collar cardigans, and shirting with short and long sleeves round out the selection.
Each is seen in luxurious materials, from a monogram jacquard trans-seasonal wool to a cashmere denim blend, or workwear flannel. Indelible branded details include embossed leather patches and the monogram flower as embroidery or rivet.
Quietly expressive outerwear expands functionality within formalwear parameters. A smart, water-repellent wool fabric and sharp accents elevate a snap-button, quilted down blouson and a versatile, three-in-one parka with detachable, reversible gilet. Cashmere, vicuña, and supple leather bring a workwear-style shearling into a decidedly higher end. Credits: Louis Vuitton Credits: Louis Vuitton
Footwear is both traditional and intrepid. The LV Flex line, in Derby, Loafer, and Chelsea Boot styles, each with either a rubber or leather sole, features an exceptional Goodyear Flex construction that combines traditional craftmanship with an innovative cork-filled base. Each pair reflects the timeless appeal of British shoemaking and Louis Vuitton signifiers, such as Monogram Eclipse canvas details on the back.
The effortless yet undeniably classy Kensington Derby and Loafer are reintroduced in glazed and gradient Monogram-printed Spazzolato calf leather and Monogram flower-stamped rubber outsole.
The LV Oxford Loafer in glazed leather now boasts a newly designed buckle inspired by the Capucines Bag's perimeter-defining hardware. The shoe's front strap is affixed with a jewelry-like piece, engraved on its top edge with a Louis Vuitton signature and single Monogram flower.
The more rugged Bastille Derby and Combat Boot are now seen in a supple yet strong Scotch-grained calf. The line combines craft details of a classic country brogue (its perforations cut in the shape of Monogram flowers) with the thick rubber (Vuitton-stamped) tread, (Damier-embossed) neoprene backing, and mesh lining of modern military footwear. Each is marked with an LV Heritage silver pin.
A super-supple, worn-in calf leather LV Trainer is introduced as a formal option, in monochromatic vintage-effect black or white. The elaborately constructed upper is marked with the line's Louis Vuitton script and 54 signatures, on reworked reinforcements that result in exceptional flexibility and lightness.
Evening Attire steps confidently into any black-tie celebration, showcasing the House's savoir-faire and emphasis on individuality. Moments that demand presence might benefit from an enigmatic collarless jacket, flared or drawstring tailored trousers, strass-set buttons, LV-shaped cufflinks, and pearl detailing.
Rich materiality is expressed, for example, via intricate French knot embroidery forming a pointillist, textured tonal monogram in delicate grey, showstopping Damier flocking, fluid silk blend separates with a monogram-enhanced pajama stripe, or a timeless, three-piece, 100% virgin wool tuxedo.
The Grenelle Richelieu, in gradient Monogram-lasered, Blake construction, round leather-laced patent leather, and the Minister Derby, in gradient Damier glazed, textile-laced calf with a Monogram flower-stamped sole, each cut an elegant, unmissable footwear figure.
This Louis Vuitton Formal Collection, which launches in August of 2025, is specially designed with aspiration and achievement in mind, destined for the places where successful men go, for business, pleasure, and special occasion. Through an uncanny attention to detail, classic menswear is offered its own agenda, calling for ultimate refinement without pretention. Credits: Louis Vuitton Credits: Louis Vuitton
To compliment this collection, the permanent LV Aerogram line has been reimagined with modern practicality in mind, seeing business travel and everyday meetings as opportunities for occasion dressing.
Sleek, softer lines and even more understated signatures are seen in supple yet wear-resistant waxy grained calf that shows its fine quality through leather straps and trimmings, reinforced with matte, tone-on-tone hardware and topstitching.
An embossed V takes inspiration from both the name Vuitton and the arrow shape seen on airplane tarmacs, a nod to travel heritage. Magnetized front flaps and multiple exterior and interior zipped pockets ensure a perfect fit for today's most used electronic devices and personal belongings, focusing on a lightweight, ergonomic, and protective essential.
Updated styles and new introductions to the line include the Fastline and Discovery Work Backpacks, the Speed and Boarding Messengers, the Keepalls 50 and 35, the Cabin Tote, the Gate Briefcase, the Avenue Sling PM, the Weekender, and the rolling Horizon Business.
The Duo Pouch, designed with today's anywhere-goes meeting in mind, fits up to two laptops or tablets and provides a padded inner pocket roomy enough for external hardware such as chargers, headphones, cords, stands, and remote keypads.
A small leather goods selection reimagines the Takeoff Pouch, the Brazza, the Marco, the Victor, the Multiple, the Zippy Horizontal, and the Pocket Organizer in a contemporary palette, adding Forest Green and Storm Blue leather options to the mix.

A plea for painting: David Hockney 25, at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, reviewed

The exploding sails of Frank Gehry's Louis Vuitton building in Paris are currently packed with the exhilarating visual explorations of the octogenarian artist David Hockney. The exhibition begins with a roomful of the paintings that made Hockney famous in the 1960s: his graffiti-style canvases, packed with secret codes and illicit kisses. The next gallery is full of the very different paintings that made him even more famous: swimming pools in sunshine and boys sprawled on beds. Gays straight on, square to the picture frame – images, pure and simple; no hidden hints, no text. This gallery also contains a couple of the portraits that further spread his fame. Sadly, none of the drawings for these are included. In his painting of Christopher Isherwood, his bushy eyebrows curtain his eyes, but in the drawing, you see one pupil glaring out. The intensity of the writer's intelligence is lost in the softer brushwork, but caught in Hockney's darting, edgy line. Hockney is a superb draughtsman, and drawing is something he does all the time, but you'd barely know it from this exhibition. The occasional portrait sketch is included, and these are among the most moving images in the show, above all the drawing of his sister Margaret in 2013. The main part of the exhibition is, nevertheless, an extraordinary visual feast: vast landscapes, panoramas and flowers in acrylic. And between the gallery displays, there are films and records of other projects – his opera sets and obsession with the history of perspective. One aspect of his work, apart from drawing, is however unfortunately nearly absent: photography. Only one is included, at the very end: 'Pearblossom Highway' (1986), a fascinating assembly of over 800 snaps of everything he could see from the litter at his feet to the mountains in the distance. The technique he then developed of collaging multiple images to create a whole scene explains why so many of his wall-size paintings are made up of mosaics of smaller eyefuls. Photography is a key to understanding Hockney's art. It was his first interest in visual mechanisation, which flowered later with his work with iPads. I was once in his studio in 1995 when he was making a print of a photo he'd just taken of a vase of sunflowers propped up next to a painting that he'd done of the same subject as a get-well card. The painting, due to a trick of perspective, looked as though it was standing in front of the photo, radiating brightly in real space. I said he should call the print 'Photography is dead. Long live painting.' He did. This whole exhibition can be seen, in a way, as a plea for painting, during an era when painting was being marginalised. But there is room for his iPad work too. The drawback here is that handcraft on the iPad is limited; lines drawn on it can express a kind of feeling I guess, but textures brushed in with a stylus usually look impersonal, manufactured. There's a room of these works near the end. My attention was held by one of a group of winter trees standing in a field of white tulips (one red). Their presence reminds us of the Hockney quote that's blazoned on the side of the building as we go in: 'Do remember they cannot cancel spring'. The work is called 'Small Trees' (2023). Then, in a tiny dark room at the very end, there are four paintings painted specially for this show. And words are back in them, too. In his painting 'After Blake' – hanging below the steps that repeatedly spell out the phrase: 'Less is known than people think' – red curtains part to tell us 'It's the now that is eternal'. He painted himself painting himself in the centre of 'Play Within a Play Within a Play and Me with a Cigarette' (2024-25), between some daffodils and the bare sprig of a tree. There are no words in this picture, except for those on his lapel badge which read 'End Bossiness Soon'. Hockney is again spelling out what he really thinks and feels, as he did when he started, in his shadowy, pleading, gay graffiti. In this self-portrait, his eyes, for the first time, are lowered. They seem to say: let me be myself, as I face death; the deeply moving closing of an extraordinarily creative life.

Securing sixth place is Bromley footballer and model Omar Sowunmi, whilst Olympian and Princess Royal's daughter Zara Tindall claims seventh. ‌ Rounding off the list is Prestwold Hall heir George Packe-Drury-Lowe, ex-tennis player Annabel Croft and internet sensation Zack Pinsent, famed for his flamboyant 19th-century attire.

The young fashion and beauty influencer cut a stylish figure wearing a V-neck mini dress featuring both leopard and zebra prints. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Princess Andre stunned in Mexico wearing a patterned mini dress 5 She put finishing touches on the outfit including sparkly sandals and a Louis Vuitton handbag Princess, 18, matched the outfit with layers of silver necklaces, sparkly silver sandals, and a small Louis Vuitton handbag. The daughter of Peter Andre and Katie Price wore her hair down in flowing waves that framed her face and soft-glam makeup. This was the perfect look for going out, or perhaps Princess was returning home to the evening-lit accommodation behind her. Fans of the fashionista flocked to Instagram with compliments on her glowing skin and outfit. 'Sunkissed', one fan commented, followed by emojis of the sun, the Mexican flag and a palm tree. Another replied: 'Aww lovely pics of you Princess, true beauty inside and out.' The photos come only a day after Princess admitted online that she splurged on a designer shopping haul. 'My bank account hates me', Princess shared on her Snapchat story showing the boot of a car loaded up with shopping bags from brands including Louis Vuitton, Sephora and Charlotte Tilbury. She later went on to show off her new £2k Louis Vuitton bag in another story, clasping it with both hands and holding it up to the camera. The 18-year-old has had a very successful year so far, including passing her driving test and landing her own reality TV show set to launch on ITV. Princess Andre hits back at money-shaming trolls who claim 'Peter and Katie Price bought her £10k motor as first car' Princess purchased her own car earlier in the year - an Audi A1 - determined to work hard and do things for herself. In addition to this, Princess has already signed many large-figure deals with clothing and beauty brands including Superdrug, Morphe, and Revolution, with the goal to become a millionaire by the age of 20. She previously said: 'I want to achieve so many things and be my own person. It's about taking my time, figuring it out as I go. I know I want to be very successful.' And it seems her efforts are paying off, as Tatler Magazine named Princess as the second best dressed celebrity for 2025. She was beaten by high society sisters Lady Lola Bute & Jazzy De Lisser, who took the top spot, while the Top 10 also featured Rocco Ritchie and Zara Tindall. 5 Princess showed off her new Louis Vuitton bag on Snapchat yesterday Credit: Snapchat 5 Princess has set her sights on becoming a self-made millionaire by 20 Credit: Getty
