2026 Men’s Style Trends: Straight Fits, Brown Suits, Vintage Watches & Ditching Athleisure | Tailored Talks
Brad and Will discuss lasting menswear trends for 2026 from a tailored, old-Hollywood perspective, starting with their vintage watches (a 1985 Rolex Day-Date and a 1980s Hamilton). They note a shift toward smaller, more elegant and often vintage timepieces and more originality beyond common Rolex “nickname” models. In clothing, they see the pendulum moving from skinny and ultra-baggy toward straight, tailored fits, including slightly longer pant lengths. They highlight brown and earth tones as versatile “quiet luxury” colors that pair well with navy and even black when balanced correctly. They also argue casualwear is elevating beyond heavy athleisure, emphasizing natural fibers (wool and cotton) and minimal, well-judged stretch for comfort and drape. They answer audience questions on go-to outfits, three wardrobe staples, and a versatile wedding suit suggestion (mid-gray or subtle olive with season-appropriate texture).
