There are so many reasons to love the transition from fall and winter to spring and summer. One of the things I look forward to the most about spring and summer is being able to shed the jackets and wool sweaters and wearing lighter clothing. I particularly enjoy wearing what I consider my uniform of the season - a polo, flip flops and jeans with a great belt topped off with cool sunglasses. Check out my 5 spring and summer must haves for the perfect casual look.
It was the French tennis player Rene Lacoste who made the polo shirt one of the most popular wardrobe basics out there. Until 1950 the Lacoste polo was available in only one color - white. Today, every designer has their inerpretation and it comes in many colors from solids to heathered to striped. They are available in a wide variety of fabrics as well. It's a must have for a casual spring or summer look. See my
list of men's polo shirts.
The perfect choice when trying to avoid the formal look of a dressy belt. Casual belts such as these look great when paired with sandals or fun sneakers. Lands' End makes
one of my favorites.
We already know that denim is a staple in the American wardrobe, but currently it has become more so than ever. And I realize that with all of the styles and fits out there it can be a little confusing. Here I have highlighted eight of
my favorite "premium" jeans for men. And if your a little more thrifty, check out my list of
less expensive jeans for men. So now there's no excuse.
I buy a pair of flip flops every spring and I get lots of use out of them. They look great with your favorite pair of jeans and can be worn into the evening on those warm summer nights. Plus, they just look cool and summery. See some of
my favorites for this season.
Of course no spring or summer outfit would be complete without a pair of awesome sunglasses. This is a must have fashion accessory. The right pair of sunglasses can make anyone look like a celeb. See some of my
top picks in men's sunglasses.
