Spring/Summer wardrobes are all about combining style, comfort, and versatility.
From statement colours and heritage knits to performance outerwear and refined essentials, this season’s collection at McElhinneys Men’s Department offers something for every occasion.
Whether you’re updating your casual rotation or preparing for special events, these key pieces make it effortless to look polished and feel comfortable.
1. Fresh Greens
A colour trend that isn’t going away anytime soon is green.
Whether it is sage green or forest green, it is a timeless hue that goes with so many other colours and styles.
This Ralph Lauren Polo Bear Hoodie is a perfect example of this trend and is a timeless casual essential.
This hoodie features the iconic Ralph Lauren Polo Bear graphic with signature script for a classic finish.
2. Elevated Essentials
To build the perfect wardrobe for this upcoming season, it is important to have some basic pieces that can be worn year-round.
This GANT Shield Half Zip Sweatshirt in rich navy is perfect for work, nights out and leisure as this versatile layer is ideal for everyday wear and easy seasonal styling.
Featuring the iconic embroidered shield at the chest, it’s finished with ribbed cuffs and hem for a clean, classic look.
3. Performance Outerwear
Performance-led outerwear is key for Spring/Summer, combining lightweight protection from the elements with everyday versatility.
This North Face Mountain Athletics rain jacket is designed with moisture-repelling technology to keep you dry during changeable weather.
It layers easily over fleeces or works just as well worn over a t-shirt or hoodie. A reliable choice for outdoor pursuits or casual wear, it delivers durability, comfort and modern athletic style.
4. Modern Neutrals
Neutral tones continue to dominate Spring/Summer trends for men in 2026, offering versatility and easy styling.
These Jack & Jones Marco Bowie chinos are crafted from stretch fabric for comfort and ease of movement, finished with a slim fit for a clean look.
Featuring a zip fly fastening, pockets and subtle logo detailing at the back, they’re an effortless choice for both smart-casual and everyday wear.
5. Heritage Knits
Heritage-inspired knitwear is another key Spring/Summer trend for menswear and womenswear, with many brands leaning into the classic and traditional textures and patterns which were also strongly featured in Autumn/Winter.
This Tommy Hilfiger cable knit sweater is crafted from pure combed cotton, featuring a textured finish for added depth and interest.
Finished with rib-knit trims and subtle flag embroidery at the chest, it’s an easy-to-wear piece that works just as well for casual days as it does for smart-casual occasions.
6. Easy Layers
Another major menswear trend we're seeing this season is the return of the classic gilet - comfortable, cosy and an added layer of warmth when the weather can be unpredictable.
A favourite of ours is this blend of a classic gilet with a pop of colour from iconic designer Barbour.
The Barbour Men’s Lowerdale Gilet in this vibrant navy shade is the perfect way of combining trending fashion with luxurious comfort.
This gilet style is guaranteed to hold a key place in your wardrobe for many seasons to come, especially as Barbour jackets are known for their superior quality and are made to last a lifetime.
From vibrant green hoodies and classic cable knits to performance-ready outerwear, these selections help to bring modern style and functionality together.
Each piece reflects current Spring/Summer trends while providing timeless appeal, ensuring your wardrobe is ready for whatever the season brings.
