Scheduled to hit the shelves on September 3rd, Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2027 Formal Collection picks up where the Men’s SS27 collection left off. This time, Pharrell Williams aims to refresh your office attire. How, exactly, do they intend to do that? With a slew of updated business-casual ensembles — “new proposals” for professional dressing, per the label — spun from rich materials like silk, wool, and cashmere. Let’s dive in.
Riffing on previous forays into workwear, the new Louis Vuitton collection approaches tuxedo codes through a similar lens; double-knee paneling works its way into eveningwear. Meanwhile, soft knits and satin-accented grain-de-Poudre wool lend a sense of comfort to formal occasions. Of course, the House retains its signature motifs: Monogram silk linings, crystal Damier buttons, and Monogram Flower rivets ensure each article is unmistakably Louis.
Just as it renders formal staples approachable, the Louis Vuitton Formal Collection elevates traditionally relaxed silhouettes. The tracksuit jacket, for instance, comes with a selection of sophisticated materials: smooth calf and felted wool, merino wool knit, or a reversible wool-cashmere blend.
And, as business so often includes travel, the Formal Collection also comprises the LV Aerogram line: a flurry of classic carrying cases meant as a tribute to the label’s “jet set” roots. Cheeky names include the Fastline Backpack, Boarding Messenger, and Takeoff Pouch. Meanwhile, the embossed leather Taurillon Monogram line dons a head-turning shade of forest green. Not to be outdone, leather goods in the Taiga line are equipped with an expanded colour palette; offerings include navy, olive, and grenat.
Never one to skip the details, Louis Vuitton ensures its new Formal Collection introduces several new shoes. Keeping the travel theme, the Westminster line incorporates a Lozine pattern (often seen on travel trunks) into rubber-soled derbies and loafers alike. Meanwhile, Mayfair shoes take on the shapes of the Chelsea boot, derby, and loafer. Refined offerings include the Richelieu style — part of the Louvre line — which features logo-embossed straps and repairable builds in softly patinated calf leathers.
To conclude the upscale affair, the Formal Collection comes with an assortment of textile accessories. There’s a cashmere Monogram Stellar Scarf, several Monogram ties and mini Monogram pocket squares. Whether you’re in the market for a lucky bowtie or a full-wardrobe revamp, the Louis Vuitton Men’s Formal Collection has something in store.
