What you need in the spring

Spring is quickly approaching, with that you're style is going to change too. Time to put away the peacoats and scarves and swap them for linen suits and polo's. With spring you can show off colors and you're unique personality in your style. Spring allows you to play around with patterns and designs, and gives room to be creative. Always remember stay away from being over the top, your personality should scream here I am not your damn clothes. With spring everything should change from footwear to cologne. Heavier scents should be steered away from, in exchange for fresher lighter scents. I recommend L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent, which goes from $43-$72. Its a light smell that's very memorable, which is a plus for any cologne and stays away from giving you that citrus undertone. Here a few must haves for spring:

Cardigan: The cardigan is a classic that will never steer you wrong. Designers such as Gucci, Gap, Band or insiders, and Ralph Lauren have taken the cardigan to the next level, gone is the plane button up catholic uniform in exchange for eclectic patterns and creative insignia's. The beauty of the cardigan is it can be rocked so many ways, with khaki's and chucks, to jeans and sneakers, or even paired with some slacks.

Khaki's: It used to be you were categorized into one of two groups men who wear khaki's and men who wear jeans. The khaki is definitely stepping into the spotlight and holding it's own. Paired with a crew-neck sweater and some sperry's and you can take it back to the JFK era. You're never confined when wearing khaki's, there an all-round get up and go pant, so throw on your flip flops and v-neck and go.

Graphic Polo: Express your personality in spring. Don't just go for the simple solid polo, many designers are coming out with designs to step the polo up. Stripes to argyle, there's something for however you're feeling at the moment, so show off who you are. Gap, D&G, Banana Republic, and even Lacoste are bringing a new twist to an old classic. If you really want to take it to another level go vintage with the graphic polo and Levi's an bring back the 50's 

White Pants: Nothing has a cleaner look than white pants. The Miami essential, white pants can take you from the Hampton's to the yacht. Short sleeve button-ups or polo's are a great way to keep it simple yet stylish and when the weather dips throw a sweater over it. Unless your going to an all white party, break up the white with some color, change it up.

Tennis Sweater: "Your country club or mine", a staple of the member's only crowd the tennis sweater has caught the eye of a whole new generation. Lacoste and Ralph Lauren wrote the book on this style, but many designers are delving into this territory. Initially a wide rib or cable knit with a deep v-neck, the tennis sweater has been re-envisioned for a whole new generation. Now more tailored with bold designs, the tennis sweater has become more fitted to your style whether it's athletic or slightly downtown.
