At some point, you start to think T-shirts and jeans have overstayed their welcome. I mean, how many times a week are you going to wear the same tee with the sweat stains in the armpits? But here’s the real problem: you have no clue what to wear besides the basics.
Then spring rolls around, and suddenly it feels like everyone else got the memo. Since when did guys start wearing cardigans over their shoulders? Would that even look good on me? And don’t get me started on cargo pants—yes, they look good now. And no, I’m not talking about your grandpa’s cargo pants with sixteen pockets and a Velcro flap.
So, I did the hard part. I’ve rounded up some of the best—and I mean best—spring outfit ideas for guys who want to keep it simple, skip the fashion show, and still look like they know what they’re doing.
Let’s get into it.
