Menswear fashion is usually thought of as masculine and sometimes has a reputation for being dull and boring. But this spring brings a range of new and exciting sartorial options for men that channel the season’s newest and boldest trends, pushing men out of their comfort zones and into something distinctly daring.
As we transition out of the cold winter months, menswear looks will strictly feature light and breathable fabrics, in hues of crisp whites, pastels, and bright colors, representing the emergence of the new season. Designers and fashion editors alike continue to incorporate new fabrications and styles within the industry to craft a whole range of fresh, sophisticated looks.
One trend to look for this spring is the resurgence of the sporty look. While previous springs saw the revival of sporty styles, this season’s version is bumping it up a notch or two. Designers have taken classic sportswear pieces like zip-up jackets, track pants, and sneakers, and injected a sense of elegance and understated luxury with bold details, like satin and silk accents, rich jewel tones, and graphic design elements.
For the fashion-forward, pattern play is a key way to stand out in the crowd. Blazers and trousers, shirts and ties, even shorts can all be elevated with graphic, vintage-inspired prints. And if all-over prints are too much for these warmer months, try mixing and matching different patterns for a modmeets-preppy look.
When the temperatures start to soar, take the opportunity to show off luxurious linen in tons of shades from classic whites and grays to pastel blues and greens. The modern linen ensembles provide the perfect mix of comfortable, breathable fabrics and timeless style. To put an extra spring in your step, transform your look with bold, lightweight accessories like bright patterned pocket squares, statement making belts, and sleek sunglasses that will take your warmth-weather look to the next level.

This season, men can try pushing the boundaries of style with contemporary pieces that capture the season’s spirit, while still channeling their individual personalities and tastes. Whether going for a more luxe-sporty look, maintaining a touch of formality, or embracing a preppyinspired energy and color, the options are seemingly endless when it comes to men’s fashion this spring. As always, the key to navigating the ever-changing waters of fashion is finding what makes you feel confident and comfortable, and using that to find the trend for you. Bryan Fitzsimmons owner of Don Alans Clothier is very excited about the Spring Collection he has brought in. He and his staff are very helpful in helping their customers find that right style.
