Here are the standout shows from Milan Men's Fashion Week 2025
Over several packed days, Milan reaffirmed its place at the heart of men's fashion, hosting a packed lineup of runway shows that set the tone for Spring/Summer 2026.
Against a backdrop of shifting global moods and evolving definitions of masculinity, designers used the runway to explore not just what men will wear next summer - but how they'll also express themselves.
Here are three standout shows that captured the spirit of the season:
Dolce & Gabbana
Dolce & Gabbana embraced a relaxed, crumpled elegance, presenting a collection that felt equal parts resort-ready and runway-polished. Striped pyjama sets, loose tailoring, and soft textures like raw knits and fuzzy coats blurred the lines between loungewear and luxury.
Standout looks paired crisp PJ tops with leather Bermuda shorts, while the finale shimmered with beaded embroidery and sliders.
Prada
In a world growing tenser by the day, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons offered a gentler message. Their collection opened with playful high-cut shorts and sun-printed shirting, gradually shifting into layered tailoring, flip-flops, and loose silhouettes that balanced ease with edge.
Bright cone-shaped raffia hats added humor, while a soft, unstructured palette moved from muted neutrals to vivid color blocks. It was a collection that mixed innocence with intellect - fashion as reflection, not reaction.
Armani
Though Giorgio Armani was absent from the show, his presence was deeply felt in a collection that celebrated cultural curiosity and timeless elegance. Emporio Armani's Spring/Summer 2026 line was crafted for the modern nomad: lightweight tunics, scarf-collar jackets, Moroccan-inspired prints, and breezy natural fabrics spoke to travel and tranquility.

Harrods fashion chief hails Brioni, Dunhill, Dolce & Gabbana as Milan Fashion Week's menswear stars
Harrods ' fashion buying director Simon Longland has given the thumbs-up to Brioni, Dunhill, and Dolce & Gabbana following their Milan Fashion Week shows, saying he thinks they 'delivered some of the strongest menswear collections this season'. See catwalk Each offered 'a distinct perspective rooted in excellence: Brioni for its effortless elegance, Dunhill for a modern yet timeless take on tailoring, and Dolce & Gabbana for the confidence and charm that defined every look,' he explained. He believes the season was 'less about 'trends' and more about lifestyle — a clear shift towards clothes that speak to permanence and identity over momentary statements'. But if pushed to identify trends for the SS26 season he highlighted 'soft, neutral palettes – from stone and sand to putty, khaki, and rust; relaxed tailoring that still reflects the precision of master craftsmanship; matching sets — plain or printed, whether shirts and shorts or jackets and trousers; ultra-lightweight fabrics that drape and move effortlessly; [and] elevated jogging sets, notably seen at Prada, showing how comfort and polish can coexist'. Back with individual labels, as far as Dunhill was concerned, he wasn't only bowled over by the collection, but by the label's presentation concept too. He said it 'stood out with a beautifully staged presentation in a hidden private garden in the heart of Milan — intimate, serene, and entirely in tune with the collection's refined aesthetic'. And he was full of praise for Dolce & Gabbana taking the show's finale outside, 'offering the public a moment of shared celebration and connecting the brand to its wider audience'. Interestingly too, he said that with several key players absent from the official schedule and this edition relying heavily on presentations, 'what emerged was a renewed focus on sartorial finesse, technical fabrics, and a lifestyle-led approach to dressing. Italy continues to lead when it comes to mastering elegance, material innovation, and the needs of a sophisticated, grown-up customer'.

The Corner Shop activation with be an 'immersive experience' inviting visitors to explore '75 years of high-octane history' through a curated journey, featuring vintage apparel worn by legendary teams and drivers, memorabilia and F1-inspired art and photography tracing the sport's cultural impact. Pieces that will be on sale at the Selfridges Corner Shop include a vintage Benetton x Autopolis jacket, a bold piece from the golden era of early 1990s Formula 1, and a vintage Ferrari x Magnetti Marelli racing jacket -- a rare find due to Ferrari limiting the reissuing of this particular style. As well as rare vintage items, the shop will play host to exclusive F1 75 apparel, as well as art and collectibles from across the sport's history. Formula 1 chief commercial officer Emily Prazer said: 'Fashion has played an integral role in the F1 story over the years, and so launching this exciting first together with Selfridges, a brand with iconic British heritage, felt a natural fit. 'This is more than just a celebration of the sport, but [is] recognition of its cultural significance, where vintage and modern meet to encapsulate our rich, and stylish, story.'
