Jil Sander Spring Summer 2026 Menswear Collection Has Arrived
Creative directed by Simone Bellotti, the Spring/Summer 2026 Menswear Collection marks his debut vision for Jil Sander—a study in vertical tailoring, contrast, and restraint.
Presented inside the label’s stark Milan headquarters, Bellotti’s first outing unfolds like a meditation on clarity and control. Jackets and coats are sharply tailored with high-button silhouettes, disrupted by raw hems and subtle folds that introduce movement into the rigor.
Double-faced wools and leathers carry architectural weight without heaviness, while zip-up knits and taut jumpers inject athletic energy into the lineup. Shirts remain crisp and immediate, with slits and cut-outs that hint at the body beneath—underscoring Bellotti’s attention to physicality as a design element.
Color plays a deliberate role: somber neutrals and dusty pastels provide a restrained backdrop, punctuated by bursts of vibrant hues. Accessories like square-toed lace-ups and the new Pivot bag extend the dialogue between severity and ease.
Bellotti’s debut is a return to the brand’s “apparent simplicity,” echoing the purist legacy of Raf Simons while carving out a new language of discipline and discovery.
