A Simply Dapper Spring

4/8/2019

Spring is officially here and now is the time for bright colors and light fabrics. With early Spring still being cool, it's a good idea to layer, but you want to utilize light fabrics such as cotton and linen.

One of my absolute favorite things to wear in warm months are all white chinos. They are a bold item, and they always turn heads when worn properly by a man. The one thing you must be aware of is where you sit or what you may bump into because anything that gets on white will definitely stand out. The white pants are great for outdoor events and the color combinations that you can put to it are endless.

In addition to the overall look, don't forget to accessorize with fun items that compliment, but don't over shadow your overall look. This week's accessories include a cotton lavender colored pocket square, wood bead bracelets and a brown leather watch which matches my belt and shoes. Oh, and I can't forget my cognac color fedora to top off the look.

As I stated earlier, this is also the time to break out the brighter colors that really stand out on the warmer days. Pastel colors such as light blue, pink, mint or yellow look amazing and will definitely make you stand out. In this post I am wearing a light blue blazer from my partner store Upscale Men's Fashion. This is a linen blazer so it is also light weight and perfect for a cool Spring day. Underneath my blazer I'm wearing a navy blue dress polo shirt from Banana Republic.

A shoe company that has been around for a while, but has really caught my eye with their variety and unique shoe looks for guys is Aldo. I can always find a casual shoe that compliments my look and is reasonably priced. Hopefully you find some inspiration in this Spring look. I look forward to seeing all your Spring looks and hearing from you all as well.

Christina,

Thank you, overall I always recommend adding things in layers. Add a blazer and get a few collar shirts. Keep things well fit and the compliments will start rolling in!!
