Loro Piana Fall Winter 2025.26 men’s collection, The Way We Were, draws inspiration from equestrian traditions and the deep connection between craftsmanship and nature. This collection follows a path from Argentina’s plains to the Scottish Highlands and the vast open lands of New Zealand and Australia, where Merino wool is sourced before master artisans in Italy transform it. The equestrian lifestyle, which Sergio Loro Piana viewed as a lesson in discipline and respect, shapes the essence of this collection, reinforcing the values that have defined the brand.
Softness takes center stage, both in material and construction, shaping garments that move naturally with the body. Each piece encourages an interaction with the environment, echoing the harmony found in horseback riding. This season’s relaxed silhouettes introduce variations of the Spagna jacket, reimagined as a short cape or tailored with cropped proportions. Earthy tones, including Green Haze Melange, Espresso, Navy Blue, Grey Melange, and Fondue Fudge, deepen the collection’s connection to the natural world. Luxurious fabrics such as Cheviot, Cashmere, Cash Melton, and Merino Wool elevate the tactile experience, ensuring that each piece carries a sense of refined practicality.
The collection’s silhouettes reflect a balance between heritage and modern function. Loose-fitting tailored trousers tucked into riding boots create a distinct equestrian aesthetic. The Maremma Jacket, crafted from cotton cashmere, returns to the lineup, reinforcing the equestrian ethos. A selection of technical blazers and pants designed for competitive riding enhances the collection’s focus on sport and performance. Quilted hunting jackets and protective parkas embrace an active outdoor lifestyle, while tailoring maintains a sense of ease with soft-structured double-breasted suits and flowing overcoats. The Cartella Inglese technique introduces tonal layering of masculine patterns, creating a sophisticated depth across formal and casual ensembles.
Eveningwear refines the collection’s approach to effortless elegance. The Spagna cape appears in a striking black variation, while a quilted silk version, paired with a matching gilet, offers a subtle nod to classic luxury. The Barathea smoking suit, featuring a black coat, exudes refinement. Inlay intarsia on a black cashmere jacket presents a new interpretation of decoration, introducing subtle detailing that complements the collection’s understated sophistication.
Footwear reinforces the equestrian narrative, featuring lace-ups, loafers, and classic riding boots. A collaboration with heritage bootmaker Le Chameau brings forth rubber boots lined with Loro Piana’s signature craftsmanship. Bags extend the theme of function meeting luxury, with foldable briefcases, technical fabric duffels, and the oversized Bale bag in a hobo iteration. The Loom bag, a signature piece, returns in a weekender version, while a linen garment bag with leather trims offers a refined travel companion.
