Contemporary Menswear Colour and Fabric Trends - Spring/Summer 2026 (ItaltexTrends)

Italtex Contemporary Menswear Colour and Fabric Trends Spring/Summer 2026 provides a comprehensive guide to the upcoming season's colour and fabric forecasts. It delivers detailed insights into the season’s key components, covering fibres, woven and knitted fabrics, colours, patterns, finishes, alongside imagery showcasing their application and inspiring mood visuals.
 

SPORTY JACKETS WITH STRUCTURES.
Two key elements for the Spring/Summer season define this focus on sports jackets. One is the practical cotton blend knitted jacket featuring wool-like designs expressed in light and natural tones. The other concerns woven fabrics, where the spotlight is on pronounced textures, further highlighted by the measured use of slub cotton to refresh bold checks and subdued-design blazers.
 

BLACK & WHITE VARIATIONS.
The timeless combination of black and white takes centre stage in the bold graphics and pronounced textures of a viscose blend jacquard knit and a jersey featuring a photographic lace-inspired overprint to be paired with a mouliné linen and recycled cotton chunky knit. Shirting weights form the base for simple checks on grounds enlivened by embossed textures and perforated detailing.

Black denim looks are reimagined in a wool/viscose yarn-dyed solid and in micropatterns for trousers made from a cotton/linen/lyocell blend. Black and white also shine in a stretch jacquard with clean damask contours, ideal for glamorous blazers.

DISCREET PASTEL SHADES.
Pastel green and light blue shades bring a subtle charm to slub cotton and mouliné linen jerseys, fine ribs and delicate stripes. They also enhance understated fabrics. Baby blues and pinks soften bold stripes in cotton/nylon blends, which pair seamlessly with tone-on-tone micro-textures in viscose/polyester. Peachy pink hues add a fresh touch to lightweight polo shirts crafted from Filoscozia and Makò cotton.
