For Autumn/Winter 2026 Menswear Paris, CELINE centers its collection on the realities of contemporary life. The season focuses on how people live, dress, and want to feel in clothes today. Taking menswear as its framework, the collection reflects what CELINE stands for in the present moment. The emphasis is on providing everything one might need for daily life, while allowing wearers to appropriate pieces into their own rhythms and personal style. Clothes are not prescriptive, but adaptable, meant to be worn instinctively rather than styled according to a fixed look.

Fabric choice and construction reinforce this approach. The focus remains on materials that are substantial and enduring to support the idea of clothes that last both physically and stylistically. There is a sense of restraint throughout the collection, where discretion becomes a form of confidence and simplicity carries intention.

As articulated by Michael Rider, the collection is defined by versatility rather than ornamentation. Classics are given a subtle edge, allowing restraint to create its own presence. The color palette reinforces the collection’s emphasis on restraint and wearability. Shades of black, deep brown, olive, and khaki form the foundation, accompanied by muted camel and warm tan leather. As for accents, they remain minimal and deliberate, limited to oxblood and dark red footwear, along with measured use of hardware and jewelry.
