Men’s fashion week in Paris for the spring 2027 season coincided with an unprecedented heat wave, with temperatures well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit most days.
WWD asked showgoers how they’ve been coping — and where they draw the line in terms of hot-weather dressing. Here’s what they had to say:
Maluma: My advice to survive the heat wave is to have a good amount of water close to you.
Willy Chavarria: I’ve had a rule for myself that when I turned a certain age, I was not going to wear shorts in public. I’d wanted to be a little more of a gentleman, but in these last few days in Paris, I’m like, forget it, I have no choice. And we’ve been working 12, 15 hours a day in sweltering heat, so it’s had a huge impact on the styling. But it’s also had a huge impact on me wearing shorts, because I’ve been working in my boxer shorts for the last two weeks.
Bright: I have this new technology [electric handheld fan] and it has helped me a lot.
