Louis Vuitton’s Spring–Summer 2026 Formal Menswear Collection continues to redefine what formal means today. Under the creative direction of Pharrell Williams, the collection blends tailored precision with versatile styling, giving rise to a season that speaks to success, movement, and modernity.

From timeless businesswear and modern tailoring to eveningwear that walks the line between classic and unexpected, the lineup reflects Pharrell’s point of view while staying anchored in the House’s signatures. Rich textiles, flexible silhouettes, and thoughtful detail—like embossed leather patches and tonal monograms—run throughout, offering elegance with ease.

Footwear makes a powerful return, with marine blue patinas, reengineered loafers, and Goodyear Flex soles that bring together heritage craft and urban practicality. Alongside it, the LV Aerogram leather goods line is reimagined for the man who treats every commute or client meeting as a reason to dress with purpose.

Tailoring with a New Attitude

This season’s modern tailoring challenges conventions: hooded blousons, shawl cardigans, half-zipped sweaters, and track-inspired pieces are introduced alongside traditional suiting. It’s a silhouette-forward statement—meant to move, adapt, and show confidence without the constraints of rigid formality.

Businesswear stays sharp but introduces softness. Jackets and overcoats in brushed wool and wool-cashmere blends make layering intuitive. Refined elements like horn buttons, pinstripes formed from tiny LVs, and tonal jacquards offer subtle codes that reward a closer look.

For eveningwear, the message is bold sophistication. Think: pearl-studded detailing, fluid silk pajama-stripe separates, and collarless jackets that make quiet statements. Footwear takes on new textures with gradient Monogram, Damier glazing, and jewel-like finishing hardware.

Travel-Ready, Purposeful Accessories

With business travel and hybrid schedules in mind, Louis Vuitton extends its LV Aerogram line into new territory. Work bags, briefcases, and carry-ons in waxy grained calfskin are engineered for lightness and longevity, with tone-on-tone hardware and magnetic flaps that prioritize function without sacrificing design.

New silhouettes include the Fastline and Discovery Work Backpacks, Gate Briefcase, Weekender, and Horizon Business roller. A reimagined Duo Pouch even fits two laptops and hardware in a padded format, proving the brand’s eye for modern needs.

Introducing the Express Bag by Nicolas Ghesquière

As Louis Vuitton expands its seasonal offerings, Nicolas Ghesquière, Artistic Director of Women’s Collections, introduces the Express—a new signature accessory launching August 1st. This bag reinterprets the spirit of travel with a sleek, flexible structure inspired by the original “Express” (Speedy) bag from the 1930s, and nods to the House’s iconic Keepall.

Key details include:

• Monogram Canvas accents on the handles and key bell
• Gold-tone padlock securing a double-zip closure
• Monogram jacquard lining for elevated contrast
• Multiple carry options, thanks to top handles and dual adjustable straps
• Three sizes, in Black, Hazelnut, Mahogany, Taupe, and a standout two-tone Ivory and Olympe Blue

With this launch, Louis Vuitton extends its dialogue about movement—across time, across gender, and across context. The Express bag stands as a women’s piece that speaks directly to the same themes driving the men’s collection: form and function, heritage and newness, stillness and motion.

Looking Ahead

Together, Louis Vuitton’s Spring–Summer 2026 collections challenge static definitions of style. From Pharrell’s reinterpretation of formalwear to Ghesquière’s Express bag, the message is consistent: luxury today must adapt, travel well, and reflect the complexities of modern identity.

Whether it’s the quiet confidence of tailored flannel or the subtle power of a bag designed to move, Louis Vuitton once again shows that the most timeless designs are the ones that know how to evolve.
