Hermès Men’s Spring 2026: Feeling Good

Hermès big message this season? Talk to the hand.

From the leather openwork weave on shirts and trousers, to the rough edges on jaunty silk twill bandanas, to the ribbed and nubby knits, this collection was as sensual as it gets.

Véronique Nichanian was designing for a summer in the city – any city, and any kind of summer.

There were pieces for ultra-hot weather, (see the leather-and-rope sandals); chilly summers (note the sleeveless knit vests); and rainy ones, too (leather blouson jackets – some yellow as butter – should offer some protection).

Silhouettes were slouchy, laid-back and easy. Nichanian layered open-neck striped shirts over scoop-neck tees and under safari-style jackets, and accessorized shantung suits, shackets and silky tops with knotted or draped scarves in colors ranging from bright green to silvery gray.

Those signature Hermès silks worked overtime, not just around models’ necks but also as colorful pleats on cool, collarless shirts which the designer paired with high-waisted trousers, some of which had built-in belts.

She also lightened up leather tops and trousers with an openwork weave so delicate it resembled lace, and added lots of texture to knits. A cocoa colored sweater with a sailor collar came with chunky ribbing; a short-sleeve polo style had uneven seams, and an oversized v-neck sweater was adorned with a zigzag pattern of perforations.

The whole outing was fresh, easy – and for a man on the move. And while the designer may have been thinking of summer in the city, she also knows her man dreams of escape, even if it’s for a long weekend.

To wit, Nichanian equipped him with some seriously beautiful, textural hand luggage, including canvas and calfskin duffles, weekend-cum-garment bags with touches of tobacco-toned leather, and overnight totes for popping in the back of the roadster on a Thursday (or maybe even a Wednesday) night.
