Four men's fashion staples for spring/summer 2016

Do you see it? That tiny little light at the end of the long, dark, depressing tunnel that is winter is getting closer and closer. Spring is approaching, but what exactly does that mean when it comes to your wardrobe? Well, first of all, make sure you have a nice space in your closet for that bulky overcoat for the next eight months. Now that we’ve solved that problem, here are four styles we're likely to see for spring and summer 2016.



1. Embrace the floral designs

Floral for men? You better believe it! Floral patterns, both subtle and bold, will add a light, airy quality to your wardrobe this spring/summer. Pair with jeans or shorts for a casual weekend barbecue, or formalize the floral under a blazer or solid cashmere sweater for the office.

2. Designer and fitted shirts

Fitted designer shirts should be the mainstay of your wardrobe no matter what the season, but in spring and summer they are often the appetizer, the main course, and dessert all rolled into one. Texture and material preferences vary between guys, but you can’t go wrong with double collars and lavish cuffs to really make the designer shirt your own.

3. Are you here for the yacht club?

Marine style is in and the classic navy blazer is a key part of your spring and summer collection. Pair with jeans, a white V-neck, and boat shoes for a casual, classy look for almost any occasion. Is your destination a little bit more formal? Keep the blazer and change out the V-neck and boat shoes for a designer shirt and chukka boots. The blazer is a classic and is still your most stylish friend.

4. More than the casual Friday go-to

Polo shirts have been the lazy man’s idea of casual Friday for decades. The drab, baggy, tucked in polo shirt is a thing of the past; sleek, tailored models are what you want to be wearing this spring and summer. Fabrics, patterns, and colors abound, and the polo shirt can work for you on the golf course, in the office, on a date, or at the bar.

New Year, New Wardrobe: Easy Ways Revive Your Style

With the arrival of a New Year comes new opportunities to revive your style and express your unique sense of fashion. Many men want to pursue a more stylish wardrobe, but aren't sure how to go about doing it. Here are a few easy ways to reinvent your wardrobe without spending a small fortune.

Mix and Match

Women have mastered the art of mixing and matching different pieces together to create unique looks. You don't need to be a fashion expert to do this correctly. An easy way for guys to switch up their look is to incorporate different fabrics, textures, and colors within their outfits. Make sure that the pieces you have selected for your outfit complement each other.

Spruce Up Your Outfit

Many guys know the value that designer shirts provide. They can make you feel more sleek and structured, and add a high end touch to any sense of fashion. Instead of saving your designer shirts for dressy occasions, make them more casual by pairing them with jeans. This is a great way to get the most out of your fashion shirts, and look good doing so.

Add A Pop of Color

Many guys avoid adding new colors to their wardrobe. It's only natural to stick with what you are comfortable with. This New Year, consider challenging yourself to incorporate more colors. You don't need to dress head to toe in bright hues though. Keep it simple by adding a single pop of color to your outfit. You can do this by choosing trendy, Italian shirts that incorporate bold colors, or adding a splash of color to your outfit with funky, dyed tweed pants. Once you choose a bold piece of clothing to wear for the day, keep the rest of your clothing low key by selecting neutral tones.

Try More Accessories

Accessories can instantly spruce up any outfit. Hats, sunglasses, belts, and jewelry are all easy ways to accessorize. This New Year, consider putting accessorizing more with items that accent the colors and style of your outfits.

Instead of wearing the same old pieces that you normally reach for, revive your style with a little help from these tips. You'll look better than ever, and will love your new fashion sense. Personalize these suggestions to fit your style, and always use high quality clothing to look your best.
