If there’s any time to take a risk with your wardrobe, it’s spring. After all, the winning combination of weird, temperamental weather, a full closet turnover and people touching grass for the first time in six months ensures that there are ample opportunities to reinvent your sartorial identity with a new pair of boots or a just-copped transitional layer.
What’s your new move? Do you dare to try the tracksuit? Interested in interesting eyewear? Let us help. We’ve highlighted four can’t-miss spring style trends to try, along with the staples you’ll need to pull ’em off. Confidence and preparation are key. Below, four style swerves to try this spring.
Spring Style Trends for Men
Lean on Lightweight Layers
Copping a new lightweight jacket — man’s favorite article of clothing — doesn’t seem like a particularly big leap to make. And it doesn’t have to be. But with the breadth of styles out this season, it’d be a shame not to try something new. Go as bold (say, leopard print) or as conservative (a classic barn coat in a reimagined fabric) as you feel inclined.
Hit the Track
Tracksuits have been swirling in and out of collective consciousness for decades now; in particular, a two-piece set makes for the perfect spring outfit, or, better yet, try mixing and matching staples with sport-style nylon separates. A heavy tee should look particularly good with these relaxed Reigning Champ Radar Pants.
Try Rewired Work Boots
With the amount of wet weather involved, boots are the bread-and-butter footwear of the season. Work boots, in particular, are having a moment, but we’re not just talking about your dad’s Red Wings. Styles that combine heritage construction, primo leather and work-adjacent designs — stealing details from moto, western and engineer-style boots — are the coolest things you can stick on the dogs.
Splurge on Some Serious Shades
If there’s one place to splash out this spring, it’s sunglasses. A proper pair can bring a completely new vibe to an otherwise standard spring ‘fit, especially if you opt for something designer and, much more importantly, incredibly funky.
