If The Godfather were filmed today, Dolce & Gabbana AW26 would be dressing the cast. Impeccable tailoring, fabrics, and silhouettes that embrace the best of the classic Italian gentleman. This is menswear for the man who does it all: formidable in a power suit, assured in refined athleisure, and impossible to ignore.
Power Suits
Dolce & Gabbana’s tailored offerings were the kind of suits and outerwear that make an entrance – and make it clear you’re not to be trifled with. Structured jackets, broad shoulders, and sharply cinched waists created silhouettes that radiated the type of energy one hope 2026 brings. Layered over knits or paired with sleek trousers, these looks were wardrobe armour, designed to cause chaos, respect, and a little awe wherever they appeared. Also a big fan of the larger-scale lapels.
Athleisure With Personality
The collection leaned into sporty, athleisure-inspired pieces that felt dynamic, funky, and wearable. Graphic knit bands, relaxed jerseys, and track-inspired layering blurred the lines between luxury and casual, and perhaps a modern day remake of High School Musical.
Brooches
Dolce & Gabbana proved that accessories aren’t just finishing touches – they’re storytelling devices and quite frankly a way to elevate a look. Brooches punctuated jackets, coats, and even knitwear. Some were jewel-like and ornate, others playful flowers, reminding us that a single detail can transform a look from polished to hard to forget – and with good reason.
Pops of Colour and Denim
While the backbone of Dolce & Gabbana’s AW26 menswear leaned on classic neutrals, the runway was punctuated with brilliant pops of bright blue, emerald, and burgundy, some rendered in intricate patterns or in some cases, pattern clashes.
