Louis Vuitton’s FW25 Men’s Pre-Collection Will Have You Dressing Like You’re Always on Vacation
Somewhere between Paris and Miami, between crisp tailoring and pastel ease, the maison envisions a world where dressing well is just another way of moving through it
A wardrobe in motion
Imagine this: you’re on the deck of a cruise ship. The sun is sinking into the Atlantic, and the sky is streaked with pink and orange, colors melting into the horizon.
You’re wearing a shawl-collared coat that looks like a poolside robe but feels like something Gatsby might have thrown on after a high-stakes poker game.
Pharrell Williams wants you to live in this moment—or at least dress like it.
Louis Vuitton’s FW25 Men’s Pre-Collection is a love letter to movement and the transformation that happens when you leave one city and land in another.
It starts in Paris, where the tailoring is crisp, the suits have volume, and naval motifs whisper of departure.
Then it glides across the ocean, soaking in the textures of a cruise liner—the plush interiors, the crisp blue and white of a chambray suit patterned with tiny boats.
And finally, it arrives in Miami, where pastels rule and loungewear isn’t just for lounging.
The transit wardrobe
Pharrell calls it an evolution, a wardrobe that shifts as effortlessly as the sky changes from day to dusk.
The first half of the collection—the transit wardrobe—leans into elegance.
There’s a windbreaker embroidered with the Monogram Regatta print, a three-piece suit straight out of the Jazz Age, and lounge jackets that wouldn’t look out of place in an old Hollywood film.
Colors are borrowed from the sunset, rich and warm, while fabrics play with texture: moiré jackets, jacquard coats, technical macs that somehow feel poetic.
The arrival
Then there’s the arrival. Miami Beach at golden hour. Poolside uniforms reimagined as daywear.
A sage coat that’s actually a towel robe. Strawberry pink tracksuits. Silk bowling sets in colors that sound like summer cocktails—magenta, aqua, or khaki.
The whole thing feels effortless, like you just happened to wake up looking this good.
Stepping into a dream
Even the shoes are in on the fantasy: raffia loafers that belong on a yacht, suede football boots in faded pastels, or glossy Venetian sandals that make you feel like you’re about to step into a Slim Aarons photograph.
And, in a final wink to the whole jet-set dream, a pair of hotel-style monogrammed slippers—because even luxury needs to relax.
Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton is about how you move through the world and how you collect experiences like souvenirs.
It’s about dressing for the in-between moments—the transit, the arrival, and the golden hours that slip by too quickly.
So, where to next?
