Undercover presents its Pre-Fall 2026 menswear collection, a compelling fusion of theatrical tailoring, military echoes, and surreal storytelling. Set against a moody magenta backdrop scattered with feathers, the collection crafts a stage where chaos meets calm.

Voluminous silhouettes dominate the season: oversized jackets, loose drawstring pants, and boxy shirts rendered in textured fabrics convey ease with quiet structure. The styling is unmistakably Undercover—wide-brim hats, embroidered slippers reading “I am chaos,” and twisted metal jewelry anchor the looks in eccentric formality. There’s a persistent duality at play: crisp shirts layered under slouchy knits, camouflage grid patterns paired with soft shirting, and denim reimagined through poetic disruption.

Badges, text graphics, and surreal illustrations—some hand-drawn, others embroidered—adorn garments like cryptic insignias from imagined societies. Phrases like “I hear more than you can hear” or “RE” stitched in bold suggest coded ideologies, hinting at resistance, reflection, and transformation. As always, Takahashi plays with the language of uniforms—not to impose order, but to subvert it.

The palette evolves from muted olives, browns, and charcoals to crisp whites, saturated reds, and utilitarian greens. Each look feels like a fragment of a larger narrative, one where softness and severity coexist. Whether through boxy short suits, experimental sweatsuits, or distorted field jackets, the collection balances cinematic clarity with dreamlike ambiguity.

Undercover’s Pre-Fall 2026 menswear collection continues to expand the brand’s visual lexicon, proving once again that rebellion doesn’t have to be loud—it just has to be true.
