Hermès envisions a soft and elegant summer. A breath of lightness runs through a menswear collection designed to suit both urban settings and wider horizons. The pieces reflect the transparency of water: a leather sweatshirt with a pencil pattern on the back, the allure of a sleeveless white leather bomber jacket, or a shirt with a delicate knot fastened by a removable scarf. Geometric prints fade gently, as if washed away by the tide, evoking aquatic tones – turquoise, ocean, and navy – capturing the light’s reflections and creating a serene inner landscape. Colours interact in a sensory harmony: soft pink, matcha, lychee, biscuit, and chocolate complement neutral shades of ecru, mist, and white.
The wardrobe is reinterpreted from new perspectives – ranging from technical and natural materials to shapes and volumes that either elevate or ground the silhouettes. Embroidered cotton with gum thread stands out in oxford shirts, while mid-length trench coats and stitched trousers highlight utilitarian elegance. Ties are adjusted with precision, while sandals offer freedom of movement. Vibrant fabrics and dynamic patterns break traditional codes, blending textures and redefining silhouettes. Suits play with form, blurring perceptions: is it a shirt or a jacket? Even trousers adopt a relaxed aesthetic, reminiscent of luxurious pyjamas.
Accessories are equally refined: barénia leather and denim canvas bags, silver chaîne d’ancre bracelets, Ex-Libris signet rings, and hand-painted titanium necklaces. Cotton twill hats with natural motifs evoke the sounds of summer. Swift leather belts and high-tech sandals complete the collection for a season where elegance and freedom go hand in hand.
Because the Hermès summer for men invites freedom and contemplation, allowing time to flow with ease. As shadows lengthen, a delicate fade-out sets the scene for unforgettable beach nights, where clothing becomes an extension of the body, and eternity seems captured in every moment.
