Saint Laurent unveils clear‑shoe trend for men at Paris Fashion Week

Designer Anthony Vaccarello presented Saint Laurent’s men’s Spring 2027 ready‑to‑wear collection during Paris Fashion Week, introducing transparent footwear for men—a first for the luxury house. The clear shoes, shown on a fog‑filled runway, were paired with belted coats and slouchy suits, and the brand posted the looks on Instagram where comments were divided, with some viewers questioning the concept and others expressing enthusiasm.

The debut of Saint Laurent’s clear‑shoe line occurred alongside a flurry of Spring/Summer 2027 runway shows across Paris, Milan and other fashion capitals, where brands such as Givenchy, Prada, ETRO and Moschino presented new collections. The trend, previously associated with women’s footwear, signals a broader move toward experimental materials in men’s fashion for the upcoming season.
