The Komondor-inspired “mop dog” trend stormed Paris runways with dreaded wool pieces from Hed Mayner, Egonlab, and Acne Studios. Oversized coats with fringe-like patterns and exaggerated dread details made a dramatic impact, blending romantic goth aesthetics and winter-ready fashion. Chocolate tones are making a delicious comeback too. Bottega Veneta started the trend, but this season, Bianca Saunders’ milk chocolate leather jacket and waxed trousers stole the show. Sacai, Louis Vuitton, Dries Van Noten, and Zegna added rich variations, with luxurious overcoats and matching scarves.
Leopard print remains the wild card with Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana-styled leopard coats over understated layers for a fierce but approachable look. Lanvin’s oversized leopard coat with denim and MSGM’s bold blue shirt and khaki combos proved animal print can be versatile. Faux fur is everywhere too! From Prada’s draped pelts overcoats and bubble vests to David Koma’s maximalist faux fur sweatsuit, this trend channels luxury and drama. Saint Laurent added American Psycho vibes with fur accents, encouraging fans to go big or go home. Velvet is also crushing it with Emporio Armani’s pinstripe suits and Giorgio Armani’s vibrant blue velvet sneakers.
Willy Chavarria brought romance with crushed velvet suits adorned with brooches. Amiri’s velvet blazers and painted floral designs also delivered epic elegance. From the dreaded to the decadent, this year’s menswear trends are all about owning your boldest self. Dress fierce, stay fabulous!
