Botanicals and Bomber Jackets<\/h4>\n

Spring brings flowers, spring fashion brings \u2026 florals! Yes, men, floral prints have migrated to your section of the store. With shirts available with colorful flowers and black and white plant prints, the trend can be as expressive or modest as your taste allows. Wear under a jacket or paired with light-colored pants, the botanical prints (like in the INC look below) will have you springing forward in fashion.<\/p>\n

Bomber jackets add versatility to more casual days. Contemporary and comfortable, this trend can be found in a variety of colors and materials\u2014whether you opt for a lighter material to pair with a sports jacket, or a slightly heavier material to wear on its own. Check out Macy\u2019s private store brand Alfani for plenty of options!<\/p>\n

Adding another element to the jacket, mixed-media bombers are stylish layering pieces for the everyday. Kenneth Cole\u2019s spring line The New Modern offers options that will have you wearing this style in no time.<\/p>\n

Classics<\/h4>\n

Keeping with traditional style, single-breasted jackets\u2014especially single button\u2014worn over a sweater of the same color in a varying shade, create a look that\u2019s big on texture. High-quality men\u2019s suits will always be in, with an emphasis on layering this season.<\/p>\n

Huntsman<\/a>, founded in 1849 and located in London and, now, in New York, prides itself on its rich heritage and reputation. As one of the finest and most long-standing, yet often innovative, bespoke houses on Savile Row, their mix between ready-to-wear and bespoke pieces\u2014\u201cmade to order\u201d or \u201ccustom designed\u201d\u2014makes their dress shirts perfect for pairing with a custom sports jacket or blazer!<\/p>\n

Leg Room<\/h4>\n

The wide-leg silhouette is in for pants. Comfortable and chic, it\u2019s the perfect way to ensure your legs stay cool during higher temperatures! These roomier styles have just the right break to fit with the elegant look of your jacket, without distracting, billowy fabrics.<\/p>\n

While pants are getting looser, shorts are getting shorter! The rising of hemlines is firmly rooted in retro-sport-inspired fashion trends. Men are being braver about showing a little more skin.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interesting in trying out the shorter-shorts game, you don\u2019t have to dive in head first. Test the waters with a pair of seven-inch shorts, which fall just a little bit more above the knee than the nine-inch hemline you\u2019ve been wearing for years.\n[awesome-gallery id=3075]

Subdued Hues<\/h4>\n

The warmer months usually inspire an explosion of color in collections, but designers seemed to have agreed on a more minimalistic, subdued palette for this spring and summer. Grays, blues and similar hues are de rigueur! Call it old school, but it\u2019s all about the way you wear it\u2014mixing different shades of the same color.<\/p>\n

Huntsman, which has dressed celebrities and royals such as Queen Victoria, Elizabeth Taylor, Alexander McQueen and Winston Churchill, has old school in its DNA and calls for respecting traditional values\u2014remembering their roots as they grow. They\u2019re featuring a neutral pallet in the spring line with lots of jewel-based colors.<\/p>\n

The Pink, Slim-Fit, Two-Button Cuff Shirt paired with the Navy, Oval-Spotted Tie is a prime example of how to rock this look.<\/p>\n

Kenneth Cole follows suit with sports-centric styles that define casual cool as seen in nylon jackets, knit trousers and tech-ed out tees in subdued shades of black, white and gray.<\/p>\n
