The brand introduced the Fall 2026 collection featuring signature American classics showcasing richer textures, improved craftsmanship, and a more intentional seasonal view.  With classic cable knits, rugby-inspired pieces, and varsity jackets that set the tone, alongside outerwear including mixed-media jackets, wool pea coats, car coats, and softly padded layers. 

Signature red, white, and blue are expressed through seasonal color and archival details. The influence of American classics thrives on its power to wander beyond its roots.

As a Filipino creative, David Guison reinterprets American classics by choosing staples that appeal to personal style like Tommy Hilfiger. 

He believes that it’s all about how you style it in your own way, “For us Filipinos, I think having those staple pieces but of course injecting your own culture to it,” Guison said. The Filipino lifestyle and fashion content creator sees American classics as an opportunity to be paired with local pieces.  

The Tommy Hilfiger Fall 2026 collection will be available at Tommy Hilfiger stores and the official website tommy.com.
