The recent men’s fashion shows in Paris have concluded, with Saint Laurent being the only remaining show during the couture schedule this week. Apart from the significant events like Véronique Nichanian’s farewell at Hermès after 38 years, the focus remained on the clothing, with hairstyling and makeup staying relatively modest and restrained.
Several trends emerged from the fashion season, including the unexpected rise of mullets. Dior Homme and Rick Owens showcased bold variations of mullet hairstyles, adding an edgy touch to their collections. Slicked-back hair also made a statement, with designers like Setchu and Qasimi presenting intentional and sleek looks on their models.
Extensions took center stage this season, with colorful and angular styles seen at Kiko Kostadinov and unique hair hats at Dior. Soft and subtle makeup looks prevailed, with a shift towards innocent simplicity observed across various shows. Clean lines, both in makeup and hairstyling, were prominent, with brands like Victor-Hart and Kolor showcasing bold and precise features on their models.
Overall, the Fall 2026 men’s fashion season highlighted a mix of traditional and innovative styles, emphasizing the importance of complementary hairstyling and makeup in enhancing the overall collection presentation.
