Men’s Denim Looks Spring/Summer 2026

Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 Fashion Week kicked off with Pitti Uomo in Florence. And is right now happening in Paris (June 24 – 29, 2025). The events include 70 participating houses, featuring 40 runway shows and 30 presentations.

We’ve been watching many shows, always looking out for what’s new in denim (of course!). What will we be wearing same time next year!

One thing for sure, there are still no signs of skinnies making a new comeback. The fashion world still thrives on over- and uber-sizing. And lots and lots of layering.

Here’s a breakdown of the men’s Spring/Summer 2026 denim trends, drawing from recent runway seasons and trend forecasts:

Loose & Slouchy Fits

Baggy, barrel-leg, and low-slung trousers continue to dominate. offering relaxed silhouettes.

Vintage-inspired slouchy jeans in higher rises, roomy thighs, and gentle tapering at the ankles.

Bold Washes & Textured Finishes

A wide array of washes: deep indigo overdyes, ombré light to mid-blues, speckled stonewash, and artistic laser treatments giving the impression of visual depth.

Textural details like distressed edges, raw seams, and deconstructed/melting effects.

Structural & Craft Details

Deconstructed tailoring and sculptural volumes emerge from runway interpretations

Expect center seams, knee panels, contrast topstitching, waistband experimentation. Pleated jeans will definitely be a thing.

Crop, Short & Capri Lengths

Denim shorts -ranging from tailored jorts to knee-length relaxed styles – feature stacked waistbands, prints, and paneling.

Cropped and capri-length jeans add a fresh, seasonally light vibe.

Summing it up, the denim landscape reflects a broader menswear trend: comfort, sustainability, and individualism. Vintage silhouettes meet artisanal craftsmanship and eco stillness – perfect for those seeking expressive, purposeful, and stylish denim.
