Philipp Plein’s Resort 2026 Menswear collection brings the heat—both literally and metaphorically. Unveiled against a lush green backdrop, the runway delivered a heady cocktail of sleek tailoring, street-inspired athleticism, and unapologetic excess. True to the brand’s DNA, the collection champions bold individuality while flirting with classic silhouettes reimagined through a luxury streetwear lens.
Collection
From Boardroom to Boulevard
The opening looks set the tone: sharply tailored black suits punctuated with embellished shoulders, tattoo-inspired patches, and gothic motifs. Think mafia boss meets rockstar. But even within the classic tailoring, Plein injected rebellion—a flash of embroidery, a ripped hem, or oversized accessories.
One big novelty was the introduction of bright colors, most notably a standout shiny orange suit and a crocodile-printed leather bomber in the same fiery hue. These saturated tones popped against the more grounded earthy palette of sand, chocolate brown, and black, creating a striking contrast that defined the collection’s energy.
Varsity Spirit & Denim Dominance
Varsity jackets added a playful, collegiate twist. Bright versions bore the names of cities where Plein has flagship stores, combining brand identity with streetwear flair. Meanwhile, denim played a starring role—appearing on both casual and tailored separates, from distressed jeans to double-breasted coats and even duffle bags. The relaxed fit and worn-in feel made it clear that this was denim with a luxury attitude.
Street Armor & Studded Statements
Plein’s signature love for monochrome looks and textured layering came to life in sleek black tailoring. Suits and jackets were decorated with star-shaped studs, multicolored embroidery, and tattoo-inspired patches, delivering maximum impact. The biker jackets, nearly fully encrusted with either silver or matte black studs, featured elaborate tattoo motifs and dramatic detailing that balanced edge with elegance.
Athletic Codes, Refined Luxury
Sweatpants met tailored outerwear. Hoodies met crocodile-embossed jackets. The mix was purposeful, showing that luxury today isn’t about conforming—it’s about combining comfort and status with a street-smart edge. Oversized bags, chunky sneakers, and bold layering made the collection both jet-set ready and runway approved.
