Valentino Cruise 2027 Enjoys a Change of Pace

The Fashionisto / Published

“You can come to my villa” is quite an invitation to put on a baseball cap. For Valentino’s cruise 2027 collection, Alessandro Michele dresses men as though the keys are already theirs. At Villa Gaia Gandini, sweatshirts and shorts share the estate with double-breasted suits, and the clothes suggest several generations of taste raiding the same wardrobe.

The sportswear is especially persuasive in this setting. A pink sweatshirt and lavender cap have the cheerful confidence of clothes chosen for an afternoon off. A floral belt buckle adds the eccentric detail that makes the outfit feel personal. Michele applies that same freedom to tailoring, pinning a butterfly brooch to a gray suit and wearing a patterned neck scarf inside an open shirt.

There is a charm in seeing such dressed men look so idle. Pleated trousers fall over loafers as their wearers lounge on garden benches or slouch in gilded chairs. Even the navy double-breasted suit, with its gold buttons and precise fit, looks ready for a long lunch.
