Men_s denim FW26 highlights: Dior Homme_ Juun J_ DSquared2 and more
In the history of men_s runway fashion_ denim has never held greater significance. This was clearly evident for Fall/Winter 2026. The variety of silhouettes_ washes_ surface interest and other detailing was enough to pique any store buyer_s interest. Here are the highlights from the men_s collections.
Jean shapes ran the gamut this season. Juun J delivered them extra-extra wide thanks to side panels; narrowing at the ankle created a balloon effect.
Other brands went _back to basics_ this season with classic straight legs_ often styled with leather jackets as seen at Willy Chavarria or with sweaters.
Jonathan Anderson opened his show for Dior Homme with a trio of straight legged jeans in a stone washed blue_ bright white and distressed grey.
Like Anderson_ several other brands_ including Auralee and Egonlab_ showed jeans in a vintage acid wash_ creating a weathered grey finish.
Raw indigo_ with its authentic feel_ continues from last season. Lanvin showed jeans in a standard fit with a matching jean jacket and logo hoodie.
_Heated Rivalry_ is THE tv show of the moment and Dsquared tapped into the steamy drama with a variety of looks that hockey players might wear off the ice_ including a denim suit covered in clear sequins.
Junya Watanabe_s collaboration with Shawn Stüssy and Levi_s led to jeans with a focus on patchwork and hybrid construction_ offering a more considered and elevated take on denim than typical bohemian styles. Overall_ the runways of Milan_ Paris and New York underscored just how diverse and inclusive the denim landscape for FW26 will be.
