This spring, shows seem to be focusing on muted greens, greys and beiges, while adding a punch of color in the mix to keep things interesting.
Stripes are also in this spring, with the classic black and white being popular on the runway.
So what does that mean for the average guy? Every year we can see a pattern emerging, which is to have a classic look, funked out with a bit of color. In my opinion, stick with the basics. The grey and beige tailored suit is always a safe bet, but try and stay fitted, and away from the short, skinny pants look that was so popular last year. If you think that part of the look is key to the whole picture, go with the rolled up cuff. You want to have a suit and pants you can rock on any occasion, and sometimes you want to tone it down for a business meeting with an old-school boss.
Complement your tailored suit by wearing a shirt with bold stripeing, and an understated tie. Let the shirt do the talking that the tie so often does. Make sure you are able to peel off that jacket and make it casual in the hot summer heat.
Another popular option is to keep the whole ensemble in a safari-type color scheme, using sandy colors and a little more edgy cuts to make the look stand out.
