10 Men’s Spring Fashion Looks You Need To Know About
Picture this. It’s spring, it’s not too hot or too cold. The sun is shining down yet the temperature is perfect. As you walk through your city centre, there are smiles plastered on peoples faces. Everybody seems happier, and it’s not just because of this perfect weather, but perhaps it’s the fashion and trends that come with it? There are some really exciting men’s spring fashion looks coming into fruition as we leave behind the grey and mundane season that saw us all wrapped up and snug, most likely clutching a cup of coffee.
DAD JEANS:
Denim trends have been popular on both the runaway and rail for a while now. The simple dad jean is a key look for 2019. The light wash jean with a straight leg or slight boot cut is a perfect way to serve as a smart base for some of menswear’s more quirky shirts and jackets. A popular mens spring fashion look by far!

ALL WHITE:
Perfect for spring and summer, the all white basic tee is a key staple of spring and summer 2019. Pulling it off however is entirely dependent on what you team it with. Regardless of the risks, an all white style is one of the best style moves you could make this year. In the summer it’s a sure fire way to remain calm cool and collected. Team it with some brightly coloured trousers or a shirt to add a pop of colour. Or if you want to tone it down, a navy or beige Overshirt with some leather trainers would be a great alternative.

PASTEL COLOURS:
Vivid and bold colours are not for everyone. Some can pull it off, others can’t, but that doesn’t mean you should stick with a monochrome colour palette this spring. Pastel colours and shades are both seasonally-appropriate and a perfect way to add a bit of colour to an outfit. Another perfect mens spring fashion look! A pink sweatshirt with a pair of smart trousers and a light coloured trainer is a great choice for a subtle yet not boring outfit choice.

VERTICAL STRIPES:
Printed vertical stripes are a key men’s spring fashion look as they look great and neatly present a refined and simple way to experiment with prints. Another added bonus is that it can make you appear taller / slimmer. Styles with varying width are a great way to experiment further however a simple classic stripe shirt is a fantastic option to keep it subtle.

LAYERS:
While having layer over layer in the springtime may not be a smart choice what with the sun beaming down on you, when executed correctly its a suitable option as well as restraining a more casual look. Swap the more heavy outerwear for lighter options such as jackets and Overshirts to wear over plain tees or polo shirts. Then if it ever gets too warm simply remove them and tie them around your waist to retain and allow the visual elements to still be evident.

CAMP COLLAR SHIRTS:
The camp collar shirt has been a staple piece and has been floating around the rail and runaway for a while now. Reassuring to know it’s not a mere style trend but instead an item of clothing with some longevity to it. A key men’s spring fashion look for sure! The lapel and flat collar style adds a touch to something to different to what could be a deemed a simple shirt. It creates both a subtle and stylish focal point, essentially tieing together an outfit. Team it with a pair of shorts for a smart yet casual look in the upcoming spring night.

SHORT SHORTS:
Throughout time men have been told that the shorts they wear must have the hem fall just above the top of the knee. However this notion is soon about to be thrown out the window as short shorts are most definitely a staple look for 2019.

GRAPHIC TEES:
The past few years graphic tees have saw a huge increase in popularity. What’s great about a graphic tee is that it can instantly showcase your personality to those around you. Are you a more chilled out kinda person who would rock a Tupac tee? Or are you more of an exhibitionist who’s not afraid to don a Auntie Mabel and Pippin tee – from the iconic children’s tv show Come Outside (yes there actually is a tee for that) Independent business’ have launched their career through social media with many graphic tee websites operating through Instagram. It’s a fantastic way to not only rock a sick tee but to also support independent businesses! From Biggie Smalls to Mr Blobby you can find a wide array of celebrities / artists printed onto a basic tee. Question is; who you gonna pick?!
BAGS:
Bags are becoming a strong staple piece in a mans wardrobe and will be everywhere later this year as a strong men’s spring fashion look! You’ve got your duffel bag, backpack, messenger bag etc There’s such a wide variety out there. Perhaps for spring time a canvas bag with a print on is most suitable. A canvas bag is light and easy to carry around while also adding a casual yet smart vibe to a look.

CLUNKY TRAINERS:
Clunky Trainers are an incredibly popular trainer at the moment. From Balenciaga to Adidas many brands have utilised on the sudden trend and I expect these to be even more popular at spring time cementing them as a strong men’s spring fashion item.
