Brunello Cucinelli presented its Spring/Summer 2026 (SS26) menswear collection, The Shape of Light, during Milan Fashion Week. The collection balances and blends sartorial precision with a more relaxed approach.
The Brunello Cucinelli SS26 collection highlights a mix of wool, linen, and silk – lightweight fabrics suited for warmer months. Blazers are slightly longer, trousers have a looser fit, and overall silhouettes are relaxed yet sleek. The aim is to make layering more breathable and flexible, offering options that move easily from day to evening, aligning with the season’s emphasis on freedom and ease.
Colours this season are pulled from sun-drenched summer scenes. Crisp white, ivory, and beige are paired with brighter tones like orange, apricot, and royal blue. One standout is Solomeo Blue, a Brunello Cucinelli signature shade inspired by the brand’s hometown and a recurring accent across the collection. These richer hues bring depth to full looks, while tone-on-tone styling keeps the overall feel cohesive.
The collection brings together classic tailoring with modern lifestyle needs. The new capsule collection includes an eveningwear that swaps satin details for clean, tonal finishes. Silk knits, collarless shirts, and unstructured jackets add flexibility while keeping the brand’s refined look intact.
Outerwear is designed to feel lighter and more versatile, with trench coats and parkas in soft fabrics like pure silk blends. Accessories follow the same seasonal shift. Shoes are unlined and breathable, while bags and belts reflect the same tonal colour scheme seen throughout the collection.
With SS26, Brunello Cucinelli reinforces its approach to uplift basics, focusing on ease, movement, and timeless style. It’s a collection made for warm weather wear but designed to be relevant year round, which is an increasingly important goal in today’s menswear space.
