Loro Piana Spring/Summer 2026: A Joyful Journey Through Color and Seasons

By Jesse Scott 

Loro Piana guided guests on a joyful journey through colors and seasons for S/S 2026. While last season focused on material, with the introduction of the revolutionary Royal Lightness fabric, this season centered on a layered chromatic experience. Yellow, marigold, turquoise, and pale pink danced together in a symphony orchestrated in the silk, cashmere, and Merino wool that have been the Maison’s signatures for decades. Silhouettes were graceful yet voluminous, as the finest fabrics were beautifully draped on slouchy jackets, structured trousers, subtly structured wide-legged trousers, and luxurious peacoats. Understated collars were accented by covetous ascots. Meanwhile, beanies added a touch of casual cool to effortlessly elegant looks fitting for a weekend on an English countryside estate.

The Spring/Summer 2026 Loro Piana wardrobe is particularly notable for its extensive use of layering; the Maison conceived the collection as a comprehensive journey through seasons. To walk through the presentation, which was carefully curated in dialogue with the evocative art in Milano’s Palazzo Citterio, was to embark on a visual voyage from the chilly days of late January, when the collection will first become available, through the refreshing breezes of March to balmy June afternoons. Layers of the supplest suede, wool, and cashmere gave way to lighter jackets with varying degrees of formality and “plein air” pieces perfect for the most talented or technically precise sailors. As always with Loro Piana, the collection had a truly international feel, with silhouettes and construction recalling countries as diverse as those from which the Maison sources its fabrics.

Bags, Headwear Highlight Exceptional Collection 

Loro Piana’s bags and headwear this season were particularly stellar. The creativity and relentless yet discerning innovation at the heart of the brand were emphasized in voluminous hats that introduced wholly new silhouettes both for the brand and the fashion world. Meanwhile, a versatile array of bags provided a complete oeuvre for today’s “Renaissance men and women” who are equally comfortable on horseback, in the boardroom, or at a black-tie event. A personal favorite bag was the new extra softie, remarkable for its supple leather, understated structure, light reinforcements, and exceptional durability. The loom bag, a key piece from last season, returned in a sumptuous nubuck. The gioia shopper gracefully referenced Loro’s long-time affinity for sailing through the incorporation of nautical rope. And a new satin vanity case, complete with mother-of-pearl charms, should become an essential for the discerning traveler next summer. The lock details recurring through the bag collection were all made from natural stones, ensuring that no two pieces are alike in a powerful metaphor for both the exclusivity and the deep respect for individuality that are synonymous with the Loro name.   

The Spring/Summer 2026 collection re-affirmed, again, why Loro Piana is the final word in quiet luxury. From January to August, rainy days on stormy seas to champagne picnics in a balmy breeze, Loro’s latest offering includes everything that even the most exacting of clients could need as they move through the coming seasons. And the Maison’s rich color palette, a delightful and carefully curated fusion of traditional elegance and vibrant optimism, struck all the right chords.
