At Paris Menswear Week, Dandyism Is the Star of the Show
These 50+ street style looks give us a raison d’être.
From structured blazers and button-ups to patterned neck scarves and ties, the street style of Paris’s Spring 2026 Menswear Week is decidedly dandy.
Dandyism—a movement of men who value tailored fashion and impeccable grooming—has been sneaking into this year’s fashion scene left and right. It’s clear that the 2025 Met Gala theme still has fashion enthusiasts in its clutches. Its resurgence at Paris Menswear Week pays a lovely homage to the aesthetic, considering the movement began in 19th-century Britain and France.
For folks who didn’t subscribe to the Dandy sartorial sundae, colour was very much top of mind. See: neon coloured tights and botanical patterned skirts. Clacking along Paris’s cobblestone streets, kitten heels were surely the shoe of choice, although some opted for more practical boots or loafers.
