At the Sacai Fall/Winter 2026 collection, there is an air of refinement, craftsmanship, and casual allure – a style that feels as recognisable as it feels contemporary. The collection draws heavily from the men’s wardrobe staples through its shapes, constructions, and tailoring, from long coats to suit jackets and wide trousers. Some garments are softer and more fluid – skirts, knits, and textured layers – creating a balance between the feminine and the masculine, yet the overall collection exudes a manly energy.
Elongated and fluid silhouettes create a look that feels as practical, almost technical. Proportions are carefully measured, with select pieces featuring volume to create interesting visual combinations. Leather jackets stand out as key pieces, giving the collection a rebellious edge.
A restrained colour palette dominates, with black, chocolate brown, oxblood, charcoal, and muted ivory, punctuated by a few blues and folk-inspired prints that contrast with the rest of the offering. These elements add rhythm and movement to otherwise minimal looks and act as points of artistic expression.
The play with deconstruction is visible through layering, but it is less pronounced than in past collections. This season, the silhouettes are elongated and relaxed, with styling that allows for movement. Coats, skirts, and trousers fall with grace, respecting the natural shape of the body. There is a tension between Sacai’s signature tailored constructions and the search for a softer side through light fabrics. Denim plays a significant role, contributing to laid-back silhouettes.
