Menswear mania: Looks we love at Paris Fashion Week

Enter: A curated edit of menswear standouts from Paris Fashion Week—where craft, texture, and masculinity take center stage.

Paris Fashion Week has always been a growing playground for the avant-garde, but menswear this season is taking mastery to the next level. From novel cuts to nuanced color, the looks leaned into honest clarity and confidence, honoring intentional craft over clutter and restraint over reaction. Tailoring and textures softened, proportions shifted, and palettes deepened—proving that modern masculinity is more than just spectacle. It’s a journey evolving across eras, shaped by substance, sensibility, and purpose.

Skim through some of the looks we love from the acclaimed annual fashion fest:

Acne Studios

Rendered in a cool blue wash, this Acne Studios workwear belongs to the contemporary realm. Its intentional design is instinctive, creating tension and contrast beyond everyday basics.

What we love about the look: Quiet balance between and function and finish, quirky blend, and casual blue and brown cues

Comme des Garçons

Avant-garde and androgynous, this Comme des Garçons look leans into innovation with an experimental, futuristic edge. Its layout—knee-length and tailored—mixes structure with movement.

What we love about the look: Sculpted and metallic silhouette, fearless play on proportion, and progressive feel

Issey Miyake

Marrying shape with softness is what an Issey Miyake masterpiece is all about. The outer layer lends polish without disrupting the drape, priming the outfit with understated precision and utility.

What we love about the look: Denim-blue depth, skirt-like layering to soften the cut, and fluid construction

Jacquemus

A masterclass in modern minimalism, these tailored Jacquemus suit and trousers are a true head-turner. The terno highlights fresh over flashy, as seen in the model sporting mint.

What we love about the look: Clean and immaculately cut, structured yet subtle, and cohesive with a pop of color

Kenzo

Relaxed yet refined, this Kenzo outing is a take on a put-together palette. Headlined with a bucket hat and subtle-colored sneakers, the overall look offers a grounded, wearable, and genuine warmth.

What we love about the look: Earthy tones, an easy mix of comfort and modernity, and approachable appeal

KidSuper

Sports-meets-statement is KidSuper’s signature style, and this piece is testament. The puffer coat’s floor-grazing finish and the traditional athleisure tracksuit are a creative utilitarian clash.

What we love about the look: Elevated outerwear expression, chunky footwear combination, and sportswear with volume and swag

KML

KML distills modern minimalism into an intentional and deep journey. The black jacket breaks and flares at the hem, finished with sheer trousers that spruce up the linear look.

What we love about the look: Free-flowing form, feminine flair, and a finish that feels deliberate and directional

Louis Vuitton

A stylish trench coat over a crisp shirt-and-tie pairing, pastels, and knit: All these keep the attire structured while staying soft—a classic Louis Vuitton concept and love language.

What we love about the look: Pastels and neutrals interplay, nuanced proportions, and a confidence-coded elegance and ease

Paradis

A confident rework of classic tailoring, this Paradis ensemble is a fluid execution of tradition with a very berry twist. Its vibe is sharp and stylish, with accessories and accents that tie the whole trend together.

What we love about the look: Rich monochrome rendering, color intentionality, and creative insubordination to common suit codes

Ungaro

An elegant take on eveningwear, this classic Ungaro tailoring reimagines the regular black blazer with a cropped hem. It complements the turtleneck, striking a balance between sleek and tonal.

What we love about the look: Polished monochrome palette, modern masculine proportions, and boots punctuating the overall outfit

As fashion continues to flout trends and talking points, these progressive looks show how lightness, craft, and confidence can coexist—reshaping how masculinity is rendered in the modern day. Menswear is evolving with ease, balancing innovation with branding.
