These are the menswear happenings to have on your radar, including Represent’s second Autumn/Winter 2026 drop, CQP’s new Isola loafer, and Alex Zono x XLIM’s playful running gear.
Represent overhauls on footwear
For the second drop of its JAWBREAKER Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, Manchester outfit Represent keeps the punk theme going, with new footwear styles taking centre stage. What does that look like? The popular Alpha 2.0 sneaker gets an outdoorsy makeover through metal D-rings and a double tongue construction. That seems to carry over to the Trekker silhouette, a more true hiker model, as well as the Wrap Boot with a suede upper and wraparound layer over the forefoot. The rest of the collection builds on its punkish notions through heavier denim, distressed shirting and hefty leather jackets. Check out the collection now, available online and in-store.
CQP introduces the Isola loafer
Sometimes, a regular penny loafer or a tassel loafer can feel slightly too dressy. Enter CQP’s Isola loafer, their latest footwear model that aims to be lived in daily, not just for special occasions. Arriving in a rich brown suede or a grained black leather sourced from Italian tanneries, the shoe features spiral stitching on the toe, a sleek low-profile silhouette and a Vibram rubber outsole for a durable and comfortable ride. Check them out now, available online and in-store.
Zara Studio wants your clothes to be lived-in
Even if you’ve put thought into your fit, no one wants to actually look like they have. Zara Studio provides an answer with its latest Autumn/Winter 2026 collection fittingly dubbed “Les Nonchalants”. In the Spanish label’s pledge against pristine, perfect clothes, the capsule offers familiar menswear garments that are reimagined with updated proportions and an overall relaxed silhouette. Think loose pinstriped trousers with a dropped pocket and extended waistband, tuxedo shirts with a mandarin collar and a contrasting front bib or trucker jackets with extended collars. Check out the full range, available online and in-store now.
Burna Boy and On care about the loved ones around them
For On’s “No Giant Stands Alone” campaign, the Swiss footwear label enlisted global Afrobeats artist Burna Boy to show love to the people around him who were integral to his success. Featured in the video are his sister Romani and mother Rose as well as his band The Outsiders, dancers, and vocalist as the artist showcases the On’s Cloudmonster BB and THE ROGER Clubhouse BB models. Check out the campaign now.
Puma and Jil Sander keep the legacy going
Marking the German brands’ third collaboration since rekindling their partnership last year, Jil Sander puts its spin on two Puma footwear icons along with an expansion into apparel. The Speedcat and Suede get the Simone Bellotti treatment, the former arriving in a slick all-black and an all-white with a blue hit on the outsole, and the latter in a white with cream and blue accents with a hidden lace construction. The club navy T7 Tracksuit is made up of a boxy jacket and tapered track pants in a collaboration-exclusive bi-stretch blend, with a relaxed white long-sleeve rounding out the collection. Check out the offering now, available online and in-store.
Alex Zono is running with XLIM
Atypical performance wear label Alex Zono collaborates with architecturally utilitarian South Korean label XLIM on a playful collection made for the playful runner. Inspired by the resilience of flowers pushing through concrete, the pair focus on the shared ethos of designing between function and feeling. The capsule includes T-shirts, caps, bandanas, and Apple Watch straps that feature washed-out treatments on vibrant blues and yellows. Check out the collection now, available online and at XLIM’s flagship store in South Korea.
Margaret Howell Life and Work explores the designer’s photography practice
Shueisha has published a new Japanese-English publication exploring British designer Margaret Howell’s ideas and environments.
