Spring outfits for men

A denim jacket, a chore coat, a suede jacket or a utility jacket is enough for most spring days. Choose one that looks right open, since that is how it will be worn by the afternoon.

A heavier long-sleeve T-shirt or a long-sleeve polo replaces the jumper. Stripes and light graphics suit the season better than dark, heavy knits.

Spring is when washed and light blue jeans look their best. Relaxed and straight cuts keep the outfit easy; the hem can rest on the shoe.

Cream or sand canvas trousers are the alternative to jeans when the weather turns. With a striped polo and canvas shoes they make a simple spring outfit.

Brighter days bring sunglasses and a cap back into use. Tortoiseshell frames suit most outfits; a cotton or twill cap is lighter than the beanies of winter.

Suede sneakers come out once the roads dry. Brown, grey and coloured suede all suit spring outfits; keep a leather pair for wet days.
