The Ultimate Spring Style For Men

The Ultimate Spring Style For Men – Part 1

“The first blooms of spring always make my heart sing.”— S. Brown

When it comes to spring, it is important that you don’t commit the same mistakes as some of my clients used to do by wearing their full wardrobe in spring. I’ve compiled a brief style guide on how men should style this spring in a two–part blog post series.

1. In spring, do as Romans do…

There are chilly nights, but not many. Alternate cable knit sweaters, bulky wool blazers and thick cottons with spring fabrics. Preferred fabrics include cotton, silk and linen. Check for fabrics that display summer weight, partially lined/unlined (lightening up on lining enables coats and jackets to be more breathable in hot and humid weather conditions), Tech (a term synonymous for synthetic breathable fabric garments) and moisture wicking.

2. Go light on your skin, and not bright:

My clients throw this question more often at me: Is going brighter in spring desirable? I recommend them to go lighter, not brighter. It isn’t advisable to wear a bright yellow or leprechaun green in spring to look dainty. Try out a lighter shade or two in your neutral to look flattering. For example, alternate dark indigo and dark grey with washed blue or lighter grey respectively; you’re ready to go.

3. The effect of layering:

Spring weather can be pretty much unpredictable; therefore, I recommend layering to keep yourself warm when you get outside on piercingly chilly days.

Besides warmth, layering offers the much needed depth helping you to look unique from the regular t-shirt and jeans look. Kindly check all posts on our Facebook page on the art of layering for style and staying warm.

While many think that layering is meant only for the winter, you can follow the same techniques for spring too. The key is to get playful and creative with how you layer your outfit, and you’re ready to go! There’s more to follow on the ultimate spring guide for men in the subsequent blog post.
