A Closer Look At Acne Studios’ Spring/Summer 2026 Menswear Collection

Acne Studios’ Spring/Summer 2026 menswear collection offers a laid-back take on masculinity, blending vintage references, sportswear, and academic touches into an effortlessly eclectic wardrobe.

Creative director Jonny Johansson frames the season’s character as “geeky, quietly confident”—someone who dresses instinctively, not perfectly. Layered silhouettes range from shrunken to oversized: jogging-bottom trousers, slim ‘1979’ jeans, mended ‘2010’ cuts, and elongated collars nod to 1970s style. Sportswear appears reimagined—often worn out of context—while minimal leather sets and latex-coated denim bring a sleek edge.

Classic Acne outerwear is sharpened or exaggerated, with unexpected prints like trompe l’oeil denim revealing retro florals. Fabrics mix heritage and performance—checked wools and silk knits contrast with stretch denim and clean leathers. The palette moves from washed neutrals to bold hits of electric blue, yellow, and pink.

Accessories reflect the brand’s playful spirit: aviator sunglasses, cowboy boots, buckled sandals and the returning Camero bag in new textures and sizes. Acne Studios SS26 leans into spontaneity, offering a wardrobe that feels collected over time—free-spirited, nostalgic and unconcerned with convention.
