There are men who wear New York, and then there are men who are New York. Sean O’Pry belongs firmly in the latter category.
For Spring/Summer 2026, Stuart Weitzman returns to the city that defines its spirit, casting Sean O’Pry as the embodiment of modern metropolitan confidence. Shot by photographer Ned Rogers on the streets of New York City, the campaign strips masculinity back to its most compelling form: ease, control, and an unspoken authority that doesn’t need to announce itself.
O’Pry wears the Chad Loafer, a study in refined minimalism. Polished yet relaxed, classic but never rigid, the shoe mirrors the man wearing it. This is footwear for someone who understands that true style doesn’t shout—it lingers. The Chad Loafer moves seamlessly between sidewalk and soirée, between morning coffee runs and late-night city escapes.
What makes this campaign resonate is its restraint. There’s no excess, no forced drama. Instead, Rogers’ lens captures Sean O’Pry in moments that feel almost private—walking, pausing, existing within the city’s rhythm. The result is a portrait of masculinity that feels lived-in and aspirational at once.
Stuart Weitzman’s New York man isn’t chasing trends. He’s already ahead of them. He invests in pieces that last, shoes that speak quietly but leave an impression, and a confidence that comes not from display, but from certainty.
In a season defined by subtle luxury and intentional dressing, Sean O’Pry reminds us why simplicity—when done right—remains the most powerful statement of all.
