An Introduction to the Dolce&Gabbana Sartoria Spring/Summer 2026 Collection

Classic elegance is thoughtfully reinterpreted for the contemporary era, uniting masterful tailoring, refined stylistic exploration, and an uncompromising focus on detail.

Crafted in velvet and silk, the suits present lapels that move from bold, architectural forms to supple, fluid lines. Tonal fabric finishes and jewel buttons introduce subtle opulence, while crêpe de chine and silk linings adorned with polka-dot and leopard prints lend an unmistakable signature. The classic tuxedo is reimagined with contrasting accents that heighten its enduring sophistication.

A refined harmony of tonal combinations runs throughout the collection, with tailored suits paired seamlessly with crêpe de chine and silk twill shirts in a delicate pastel palette. Floral and geometric motifs, inspired by the 1930s, introduce a sense of movement and vitality, at times elevated through luminous pearl embroidery that adds subtle texture and dimension.

Rooted in the enduring excellence of Made in Italy and master craftsmanship, the brand’s DNA finds new expression through a thoughtful reinterpretation of a legacy cultivated and refined across generations.

From Formal to Casual

Alongside its classic tailoring, the collection introduces a more relaxed dimension that maintains an unwavering commitment to elegance. Jacquard and velvet lounge suits emerge with shawl lapels and softly structured, generous silhouettes, cinched with silk belts for understated refinement. Knitwear, developed through meticulous pattern exploration and unexpected colour contrasts, alternates with crochet-detailed collars for added texture.

Even the most essential garments, from jersey to denim, are elevated through golden bullion embroidery and subtle stone embellishments. Collegiate influences surface in reinterpreted heraldic crests, while suede and leather jackets are rendered with a consciously lived-in finish, balancing sophistication with ease.

This dedication to detail continues across the accessory offering, where statement ties with generous motifs meet footwear shaped by the elegance of the 1930s and 1940s. The Vittoria bag commands attention in both an oversized, architectural form and a refined mini variation with reversible handles. The Marlene, defined by its softly rounded, compact silhouette, is reintroduced in new tonal expressions. Functional zip accents and inventive construction techniques underscore the collection’s dynamic versatility.

In the Dolce&Gabbana Sartoria SS26 collection, tradition and innovation exist in perfect equilibrium. The timeless allure of the 1930s leading man is reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, expressed in masterful tailoring, fluid silhouettes, tonal harmonies and meticulous craftsmanship. From velvet and silk suits to relaxed lounge tailoring, from luminous pearl embroidery to golden bullion detailing, every element reflects the enduring excellence of Made in Italy and the house’s refined sartorial vocabulary.

Accessories complete the narrative with equal precision, featuring heritage-inspired footwear, statement ties, and iconic bags such as the Vittoria and Marlene, reinforcing a vision where elegance evolves without losing its essence. Whether formal or casual, structured or soft, each piece speaks to a modern man who values craftsmanship, character and quiet confidence.
