This season, Hermès presents a collection that feels like stepping into a beautifully crafted home — a wardrobe that welcomes, envelopes, and adapts to its wearer with quiet sophistication. Véronique Nichanian’s enduring vision of understated elegance is evident throughout the Men’s Autumn/Winter 2025 collection. From sweeping travel coats to jackets inspired by racing silks, the line embodies a harmonious balance of utility and elegance, designed for life in motion.
The collection draws inspiration from the vibrant silks of jockey attire, infusing traditional tailoring with a spirited energy. Deep browns, dark teals, and vivid reds dominate the palette, bringing warmth to the winter months. Fuzzy mohair coats and plush sheepskin outerwear not only provide comfort but also add a tactile richness that begs to be touched.
Nichanian’s designs are known for their sleek, streamlined silhouettes, and this collection is no exception. Avoiding heavy layering, the pieces emphasise clean lines and a sense of movement. Bold sweaters featuring chevrons and geometric patterns inject a playful yet sophisticated touch, exemplifying Hermès’ ability to innovate while respecting its storied heritage.
Accessories, always a highlight in Hermès collections, complement the ready-to-wear pieces seamlessly. From silk scarves adorned with equestrian prints to palladium-finish bracelets, each item carries the brand’s ethos of functional luxury. Ankle boots with notched soles add a rugged yet polished finish, ready to stride confidently through the season.
As for its iconic bags, the standout piece — and likely trendsetter of the year — is the black Haut à Courroies bag. Playful yet undeniably modern and sophisticated, it features a clever “connect-the-dots” shadow motif, mimicking its renowned design elements. Almost like a step-by-step assembly guide, the bag reimagines timelessness with a dash of whimsy, promising to be a coveted classic in the making.
