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 sweates and wearing lighter clothing. I particulary 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.
1. Men's Polo Shirts
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.
2. O-Ring Belt
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.3. Premium Denim Jeans for Men
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 ten of my favorite "premium" jeans for men. So now there's no excuse.4. My Top Picks in Men's Thongs / Flip Flops
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.5. Sunglasses
Of course no spring or summer outfit would be complete without a pair of awesome sunglasses. This is a must have fashion accessory.
