The Spring Edit: A Curated Guide to the Best Spring Outfits Men Are Wearing Now
As the 44th US president said about daylight savings, “On the east coast, we don’t mind losing that hour because that’s a signal that spring is here,” and to help you make sure you revive your style from dark winter colors, I’ve put together 10 spring outfits for men.
If you like any of the items you see, you can easily buy them using the link below the image.

The Minimalistic Polo Outfit
Polo Shirt | Pants | Loafers | Bag
Spring wear for men should always include at least one polo shirt. Solid color polo shirts are a thing of the past, and with that, you now have textured polos in beautiful colors like this navy one.
Navy and camel are one of the best color combinations in menswear that anyone can pull off.
Time For An Overshirt
Overshirt | Shirt | Pants | Loafers | Bag
If you want to layer and have success with your spring outfits for men, then you need an overshirt. When paired right, it instantly adds style to your outfits.
Light blue and khaki are a combination that can easily take you from spring to summer.
The Menswear Aficionado
Jacket | Shirt | Pants | Loafers | Bag
Almost all of my favorite spring outfits for men include some sort of white or stone pants. Pair them with a beige Oxford shirt and a camel overshirt for an outfit that works for a chilly day out or even the office.
The Marc Nolan loafers are the final touch. 😉
Sunny Spring Day Look
Polo Shirt | Pants | Loafers | Tote
As soon as it starts getting sunny and hot, it’s time to say goodbye to layers and hello to textures.
When you start working with fewer layers, you’ll need to rely more on shoes and accessories to add a touch of style to your spring outfits.
The Olive Overshirt
Overshirt | Shirt | Pants | Loafers | Tote
It took me some time to find a good olive overshirt; it’s nice to know that Huckberry never disappoints.
I’ve experimented with olive so much and found out that as a man, you can pair it with almost any color and it will look good. It also adds a nice, manly touch to your outfits.
Transitional Weather Office Outfit
Overshirt | Shirt | Pants | Loafers | Tote
It’s much easier to get to the office when it’s not snowing outside; however, if you’re in the middle of the winter-to-spring transition, layering is always a good idea.
This base of a white Oxford shirt and navy trousers is one you can pair with almost any jacket or overshirt you want and will still be a good business casual outfit.
Office Friday Look
Overshirt | Shirt | Pants | Loafers | Tote
A thousand years ago, Friday was the day of the week when men were first allowed to wear jeans to the office. To keep the tradition alive, we’re wearing jeans to the office on Fridays.
You still want to be “office appropriate” with a pair of business casual jeans and at least an Oxford shirt and dress shoes.
Spring Men’s Clothing
If you need some new pieces of clothing for your spring outfits, here are my top recommendations.
Spring Tops
They are for an elevated style that’s slightly formal or smart casual.
Oxford Shirts
They are a must in my wardrobe. More casual than a dress shirt, but also more formal than a t-shirt or even a polo shirt.
They’ll help you instantly elevate the formality of any outfit.
My favorite ones
- Budget Option: Quince
- The one I love the most: J. Crew
- A splurge: Sid Mashburn
Polo Shirts
When it’s time for a polo shirt, it probably means you’re only wearing one layer of clothing. To add a touch of style to the outfit, aim for a polo with texture.
My favorite ones
- Budget option: Quince
- Mid-Range: Abercrombie
- A splurge: Suitsupply
Spring Pants
This is the season where wool is over, and cotton is our new best friend.
Cotton Trousers
They are my secret weapon for staying cool when the day gets hot. They are also as nice as wool trousers, but for almost half the price and twice the breathability.
My favorite ones
- Favorite Option: Banana Republic
- Splurge: Todd Snyder
Linen Pants
Depending on where you live, linen is a fabric that you can start wearing mid-to-late spring. It’s one of the most breathable fabrics that exists. The only downside is the wrinkles.
My favorite ones
- A pair for the office: Todd Snyder
- A pair for the beach: Quince
Light Wash Jeans
Light wash jeans are the most spring pant that exists, too hot for summer and too cold and bright for fall and winter.
The pair that I’m looking to buy: Abercrombie
Spring Shoes For Men
When it comes to Spring footwear, I’ll make it easy for you with my two favorite types, which are essential pairs that will help you add a touch of style to your spring outfits.
Loafers
Loafers are becoming my favorite pair of shoes, and I’m ready to buy ten pairs this year to mix and match with all my outfits. However, if you need a couple of essential ones, here are my top picks.
Also, feel free to check my article on the best loafers for men under $200.
My favorite ones
- Budget: Banana Republic
- Mid-Range: G.H. Bass Weejuns
- Splurge: Marc Nolan
Dress Sneakers
I have a full article on the best sneakers for the office, including my favorite business-casual white sneakers. To summarize it for you, here are my top picks:
- Budget: Cole Haan Grand Crosscourt Traveler
- Mid-Range: KOIO Capri
- Splurge(not really): MYRQVIST Alno Sneakers
The Spring Men’s Style Guide
Spring and fall are unpredictable seasons. You may have your light summer shirt ready, and suddenly you need two layers of clothing to survive.
If you want to nail your spring style, keep these tips in mind.
Dress In Layers
The easiest way to stay prepared for anything? Always have a light sweater with you. You’ll thank yourself later.
Don’t Be Afraid Of Colors
Spring is all about color. Use the season as an opportunity to show your style with color and texture combinations.
It’s a season to wear brighter colors, but not too bright like it’s summer.
Back With The Shoe Game
Winter is the worst season for anything related to footwear. If you live somewhere cold with lots of snow, there aren’t that many stylish boots to keep you covered. On the other hand, if you live somewhere warmer, like where I live, then it rains the entire season.
Spring is the season to finally say hello again to my white sneakers and my most colorful shoes.
