With only a few weeks left for winter its time to fill our wardrobe with spring essentials. The transition from winter to spring a subtle yet a big one. Keeping that in mind we’ve compiled a list of essentials for this spring season that every guy should have.
Chinos:
Chinos are best for wearing in spring, fall and summer season. They are the perfect alternative for jeans and are really comfortable and cool. They come in various colors and styles and are relatively cheaper than jeans.
Denim Jacket:
Denim jackets are an all year essential for any guy. If you’re new to wearing Denim Jackets I suggest going with something black or grey as it will be easy for you to wear. These are perfect for those warm sunny days and chilly nights.
Lightweight Jacket / Field Jacket:
Spring is the perfect season for wearing light outfits but still being able to layer them. A lightweight outer jacket or field jacket is a great option to wear in the spring. It gives a great outdoorsy vibe and a rugged look. The utilitarian wear is perfect for unpredictable weather. You can wear them with a plain white t-shirt or a light sweater.
Chukka boots:
Chukka boots are footwear that is prominent in the winter and also makes their way to the fall and spring season. They go great with the chinos and are the perfect smart-casual footwear.
White T-shirt:
To get any outfit right you have to start with the basics and nothing is more basic than a plain white t-shirt. You can choose with a crew neck or a v neck depending on your style and your layering options. A good quality t-shirt sets the perfect foundation for layering your spring look.
White Sneakers:
No matter what age you are or what body type you have every guy needs to own a pair of white sneakers. They are timeless and are perfect for the spring season. The epitome of casual footwear, a pair of white sneakers is a must.
Long sleeve Henley shirt:
A long sleeve Henley shirt is perfect for the spring to wear as a layering piece or by itself. If you have the body for it then you can wear it on its own because it emphasizes your body even more. Wearing it with jeans and a chukka boot with a leather or a suede jacket is the perfect combination.
Unstructured Blazer:
If you’re going for a more of a smart look with cool comfort then an unstructured blazer is the perfect go-to. These blazers have literally no shoulder pads and immediately have a nice casual and laid back look to it. The lightweight and breathable material makes it the perfect outfit to layer it with an Oxford shirt or a plain white t-shirt. “These jackets have fewer layers of construction and are softer in the shoulder, so in essence have a more relaxed fit,” says Mr. Porter.
