Spring is a season of new beginnings. The oversized coats are finally coming off, which means you can put your favorite outfits on full display and start taking your styling more seriously. That makes it the perfect time to reinvent your look or update your wardrobe.
With that in mind, let’s explore the latest men’s spring styles.
Key Elements of Spring Outfits
Before you start putting together spring looks, it’s worth mastering the essentials of men’s spring clothes.
Some of the hallmarks of this time of year include:
-
Lighter fabrics – With the sun making regular appearances, you’ll want to transition from heavier materials like wool and bulky denim to linen, cotton, and silk.
-
Lighter colors – Right alongside lighter materials, you can introduce lighter, softer shades, too. That means switching out a dark jean for faded blue denim, reaching for white or gray oversized shirts over black, and favoring beige and tan above black and brown.
-
Brighter colors and patterns – Vibrant colors aren’t for everyone, but if they’re up your alley, you’re in luck. Touches of peach, yellow, green, and other pastel shades can help your outfits read as “spring.”
-
Layering pieces – The days feel warmer, but the mornings and evenings can still bring a chill. Layering a few lightweight outerwear clothing pieces on top keeps you ready for anything.
-
Spring accessories – Men’s spring fashion is often relatively simple, so try embellishing with accessories. Sunglasses and hats are quintessential springtime, while watches can complement your elevated casual attire.
Springtime Wardrobe Staples
With those guidelines in mind, you can start filling out your spring wardrobe. These are some of the essentials of spring outfits men should keep in their closets:
-
A handful of high-quality cotton tees
-
Light blue denim jeans for men
-
A pair of white sneakers
-
A pair of ankle boots
-
A lightweight denim jacket
Having a few of these pieces on hand will make dressing for spring easier—and it’ll also help you put together the outfits we’ve laid out below.
Top 8 Spring Outfits for Men
Depending on where you are, spring weather can range from below-freezing to balmy. To suit the seasonal climate, here are a few spring outfit ideas for different temperatures and occasions.
Cool-Weather Outfits
If spring doesn’t fully start until May for you, these outfits will keep you warm until then.
1. Ready for Rain
Men’s rainwear is often black, in an athletic cut. But that won’t help you stand out on those overcast gray days.
Instead, opt for a camo hooded zip up with low-top boots and a pair of vintage-inspired brown carpenter pants. Wear an understated graphic tee underneath to look just as good with the jacket open.
2. Flannel Forever
When done right, flannel isn’t just for fall. The trick to wearing flannel outfits for men in spring is to stick with light colors.
Pair a neutral-toned flannel long-sleeve with slim blue jeans and sneakers for the ultimate early spring look.
Casual Spring Outfits
As it starts warming up, try on some of these comfortable, everyday spring ideas.
3. Effortless Minimalism
The minimalist 90s trend is back in, and to bring it into spring, we’re going for a white-on-white look.
Keep your fit super simple with an oversized off-white shirt, matching fuzzy sweatshorts (or chinos if it’s colder), a watch, and some colored sneakers for contrast.
4. Springtime Street Style
For something more eye-catching, reach for a cropped green denim jacket—made from lightweight materials—and style it with a plain white tee or one of our men’s streetwear shirts, paneled blanket pants, and white sneakers.
Want a monochrome twist on this fit? Throw on the matching green denim shorts instead.
Beach Outfits
If you’re lucky enough to live where spring always brings sun, check out these vacation-worthy looks.
5. Swimming in Style
Whether it’s the pool or the beach, you can’t go wrong with a classic look: pink-and-green striped swim shorts, an oversized white tee, and white dad sneakers. (Oh, and don’t forget the sunglasses—they’re both fashionable and functional.)
6. Shorter Short Shorts
There’s one rule for shorts in 2024: the shorter, the better.
A pair of brown summer shorts with a breezy short-sleeved button-up and some white athletic shoes should do the trick.
Music Festival and Concert Outfits
Spring is also when festival season starts, and you need to look on point for those photo ops. Here are some concert attire ideas.
7. Coachella
Some festival looks never go out of style.
An all-time favorite is a patterned button-up—like this sheer floral shirt—worn half or fully open with a pearl necklace underneath and some bright-colored pants on the bottom. Pair this with your most comfortable shoes or white sneakers—you’re going to need them.
8. The Biggest Fan
Nothing says “let the music play” like your favorite vintage band shirt, faded denim shorts, and a tie-dye bucket hat that gives you portable shade everywhere you go.
For bonus points, add this pearl and Cuban chain bracelet, a trucker cap, or a bedazzled belt.
