Spring Summer: Men

(Even though there is a few more things having to be done around here I managed to write up a blog, men this one’s for you)

As we all know Spring is on the way. The time when things begin to bloom again, not just flowers. For women it’s easier to say what to wear for theses seasons. Such a huge variety that can have a wide selection. I say that the same can’t be said for men. Women are always told, “COLOR COLOR COLOR.” Well, can’t the same be said for menswear?

Your probably wondering what I mean. If you did, my answer is, in Spring pinks and whites aren’t the only things out there. Sometimes it’s best to look deep into nature for inspiration and go beyond Grandmas rose garden. One can try focusing on the foliage of trees, the lush greens, or the bright skies with birds flying around guarding it.

One example could be Woolrich Woolen Mills 2012 Spring collection. Mark McNairy used colors like khakis mixed in with dark greens and charcoal colors. As well as some bright colors, but used with subtlety so it isn’t a dominating presence. It was a safari inspired collection. He used khakis mixed with dark greens and black that can remind us of hidden oasis’s within a desert, or the black charcoal burnt in a bonfire on a arm Summer night. Thinking this way of the “unusual” Spring colors can help you come up with these ideas.

Sometimes these colors of Spring can give us a more wide spectrum of things we can choose from. Duh… Why not mix beige khakis with a baby blue shirt for a breezy beach feel? Or a red shirt paired with olive green pants (or shots because I know some areas are too hot for pants) to have the feeling of the sun and grass?

As it has always been with Spring and Summer trends, colors do DOMINATE, but don’t forget that there are many more colors than what is usually advertised.

You might even find out that knowing more colors paired with your thoughts of Spring can help you come up with quick new outfits. Maybe even dress easier. Probably avoid looking like a walking popsicle with a whole mess of colors just thrown on. Always see those people on tumblr or Venice Beach lol.Thanks for reading!
