Spring Things

With Spring right around the corner, here are some quick tips about adapting your wardrobe  to the warm weather.

Cotton Suits

The best part of liberation from the icy grip of winter is being able to throw those heavy, woolen suits  back into storage. As the weather warms up, bare down and get some breathable, cotton suits  and dress shirts  that are at once lightweight and stylish- professional, yet laid back.

Cardigans

If it's too hot to sport a full suit , maybe try a sheer cardigan. While the cardigan  has always been a staple in the professional man's wardrobe, they're experiencing a resurgence in 2010. With a tie on underneath, you'll look sharp and sweat free.

Bold Checks

Shake it up and shed the winter  doldrums with bold checks and bright colors. Spring is time to eschew the cold weather grays and blacks in favor of tartan , Madras and plaid  in yellows, greens and light blues.

Waistcoat

2010 is all about the revival of the classic V-shaped look. Nothing emphasizes this look on a man better than a low-cut waistcoat . The best part of a snazzy waistcoat is it looks great, even sans jacket .

Boat Shoe

Boat shoes  and perforated dress shoes  are a great way to inject some casual into class. If the appropriate to the situation, skip the socks  and find some matching boat shoes for your summery light-colored suit.
