Men’s Spring Fashion: 6 Hot Tips for Perfection!

So….spring is coming up thick and fast (we just have to make it through winter first….brrr!). Thing is, there is no better time to start planning the clothes that you are going to wear than the present. Today, we are going to share a few tips for dressing for spring – so you can get out there looking your best. Let’s do this!

Men’s Spring Fashion: Dapperfied’s Tips!

• Start by flicking through fashion magazines and websites (also hit up our style inspiration section)! Now is the time that fashion companies are really going to start to push their fashion lines for spring. Acquainting yourself with what the style of the season is will help you stay on trend. HOWEVER. Truth is, if you don’t have the budget for it, you DON’T always need to follow the latest trends. A few key spring fashion pieces can do the trick.
• Short sleeve shirts are a staple of spring fashion. Not only are you going to want to have a good selection of different short sleeve polo shirts in your wardrobe, you are also going to want to make sure that they fit correctly. Not too short, not too long! Also, be sure to purchase your short sleeve shirts from a reputable manufacturer. They tend to stock quality brands that get the proportions right far more often, which means you are going to look even better in your clothes!
• Hats are a little bit of a hit and miss accessory when it comes to spring fashion. Some people that continue to wear hats, particularly fedoras, do so to scream “Hey look at me, I’m wearing a hat!” as opposed to really compliment their outfits. Thing is with hats – they actually could look quite cool with some outfits, just not on everything. It’s sort of up to you to use your discretion when wearing them but just know they can work really well or they can totally flop. Fix yourself up and check out your look in the mirror before you head out. If you like what’s staring back at you (get a friend to give you the once over if you can – a second opinion is always good) you’re good to go. 🙂
• Loose fitting clothing! Spring, depending on where you are, is going to be fairly warm. Tight clothing might not always be the best bet. Slightly baggy clothing, although far from the bagginess offered by urban wear, could work well – plus, it will ensure that you feel comfortable.
• Button up, casual shirts: These are predicted to be ‘in’ this spring. Not only are you going to look smart wearing them, but they will also double up as something suitable for semi-formal occasions. They go with just about everything too! Purchase some casual shirts in blue or white. You will find that they are a lot more versatile. If you do have to get a pattern on the shirt, then make sure it is basic. You can find some good ones here!
• Look into roll up short sleeve shirts if you can. They tend to work best on slimmer folk, mainly because they are a little bit tight. The end of the sleeve will rest a touch further up your arm than standard short sleeve shirts. These roll up shirts tend to be button up, so make sure you purchase something that fits well. You don’t want to be looking like you are on the brink of ‘popping out’.
