The New Classic for Men
Less boardroom, more personality
The days of wearing stiff, impeccable suits only out of duty are over. Autumn/Winter 2025–26 relaunches men’s tailoring with a different naturalness: lines are softened, volumes deconstructed, precision gives way to ease. And the message is clear: elegance yes, but without constraints. The season’s runways prove it. For Prada, formality meets the everyday: thick coats, straight trousers and sartorial constructions paired with tactile textures and layered silhouettes. For Giorgio Armani, the suit becomes opulent, with brocaded velvets and retro details evoking night and theatre. Zegna, on the other hand, interprets it in a soft key: relaxed cuts, technical fabrics, powdery palettes. And then Yohji Yamamoto and Comme des Garçons, who deconstruct and remix it with artistic, poetic, almost abstract touches. Today the new classic is built this way: fluid blazers over light turtlenecks, pleated trousers worn with urban ankle boots, flowing coats in fine wool. Colours range from anthracite grey to warm tobacco, moving through powder blues and wine shades. The suit remains, but its intention changes: no longer a uniform, but a personal statement.
