SPRING 2011 Must Have !

Ok! , so now that winter will soon be gone and the warm weather is on its way ... It’s time to get you're spring attire ready to go! This spring is going to be all about layering light pieces of clothing and wearing bright colors that go together. You're must have's will be...

Light weight cardigans: Please stay away from wool and stick to cotton. Cool colors that will add more of an edge to your outfit will be red , navy blue , browns and even white ( please if you wear a white cardigan do not pair with white pants) you do not want to look like you're about to get baptized. If the day is a little warmer than expected you should be able to roll up the sleeves and if you are not able to do so easily than the cardigan is way too heavy. Cardigans are essential because it gives you the best of both worlds... not only does it make you're outfit more stylish and noticeable by day but keeps you warm on those windy spring nights. Cardigans can be purchased at any store! My favorite spots for bigger options for the spring time will be J.Crew, The Gap, and Banana Republic & H&M

Blazers: They are a piece of clothing that every guy should have all year round but in the spring time it can literally become you're best friend and it’s always good to have more than one. I would recommend getting neutral colors such as navy blue or brown to wear during the day and more wild colors such as red or royal blue to wear in the evening or night time. The reason I say blazers can become you're best friend is because you can have the simplest outfit on and when paired with a nice blazer you can turn that look completely around. To the guys that are a little more fashion forward you can also wear a nice blazer rolled up with a pair of shorts, t-shirt or v-neck and nice tennis shoes for a day out in the town or night out in the city with friends. Some blazers also come with patterns on the inner linen of the sleeves ... for a cool look you can roll up the sleeves of the blazer and match you're outfit with that pattern. It makes a bold statement and will be completely unexpected. To all the guys that cannot live without wearing they're Jordan’s or Nikes... don’t be sad just yet! Blazers do not only look badass with a pair of loafers but also with a fresh pair of kicks. I suggest this look for mostly in the night time but a black fitted blazer with a fresh pair of black and white 12's (just an example) will look sick! Do not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Blazers can be found literally anywhere for all different prices... but I would recommend H&M for stylish inexpensive ones.

Ties: Plain and simple, ties are going to be in for this spring and colorful ones are a plus. Please do not go overboard with the patterns. For example ... Plaid ties, Plaid shirt & checkered sneakers because you don’t want to end up looking like an optical illusion. Keep it simple either with the shirt or tie. The tie should just be an accessory for your shirt. If the shirt is a solid color you can go crazy with the tie and vice versa. I would also recommend skinny ties because they make any outfit look more casual. I would also suggest using the tie as a way to make a color in your shirt pop out ... for example a plaid shirt with light blue lines that can’t really be noticed, wear a light blue tie so the color on the shirt can pop out. If you're not comfortable with ties or its just simply not you then don’t worry it’s not for everybody. For crazy prints I would suggest: Burberry Brit, Ralph Lauren, J.Crew & Gucci 

OXFORD'S : These shoes have always been in style but more for the " older guys" but now they are definitely coming back out and are going to be seen everywhere you go. Oxfords are shoes that aren’t liked by everybody but everybody should definitely have good pair because they will come in handy. They are definitely an eye catcher because of its distinguished stitching and if you are a guy that is crazy about his shoe game than you would love this shoe because they come in the craziest colors and prints. I love this shoe because it can be worn with tuxedos or with a pair of Bermuda shorts. These shoes are timeless and if you are the only one in your group of friends with these babies on I promise you everybody will be following the trend you created. The perfect color to get in these are cognac because they go with absolutely every other color that is out there & they can literally become you're “everyday" shoe since you can dress them up or down. Oxfords can be found in places like J.C Penny to High-end designers such as Hermes.
