ShareDolce & Gabbana leaned into relaxed elegance for their Spring/Summer 2026 menswear collection, showcasing deliberately crumpled looks that blurred the line between loungewear and tailoring at Milan Fashion Week on Saturday. The Italian fashion duo opened and closed the runway show with pajama-inspired ensembles — unpressed, layered, and clashing in striped patterns — pairing both shorts and trousers with a languid ease.
A classical Beethoven soundtrack accompanied the collection, lending gravitas to what was otherwise a soft rebellion against traditional menswear codes. The designers’ structured take on informal silhouettes was evident in a sharp-shouldered double-breasted jacket and tie worn over pink pinstriped pajama pants — a visual play on the season’s age-old tension between business and leisure. Textural contrasts dominated the runway, with raw-knit pieces and furry outerwear injecting depth. Oversized shirt cuffs extended past jacket sleeves, while exposed boxer waistbands signaled a relaxed, subversive edge.
Among the more polished looks was a crisp sky-blue and white striped pajama shirt tucked neatly into white leather Bermuda shorts — a subtle nod to versatility across settings. For evening, Dolce and Gabbana offered pajama suits embellished with floral beaded embroidery, styled with fuzzy sliders and antique-style cameo brooches, capturing the spirit of seaside glamour. In a rare move, finale models exited the Metropol theater to showcase the collection to crowds outside, taking a full lap of the venue in their runway attire. Celebrities including Zane Phillips, Theo James, Lucien Laviscount and Michele Morrone watched from the front row. --Agencies
