-Boat shoes or loafers
-White blazer

-Casual jacket (Jean/Leather)
To all the men out there, one thing that Never goes out of fashion is a plaid button-up shirt. They were huge last fall, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still wear them. Grab a light colored button-up for spring and add some white trousers or jeans to brighten up your wardrobe for summer. Adding some boat shoes or loafers will also give you a more laid back look and that works for going to breakfast, all the way to going out for dinner. Tip off this look by adding some simple accessories; a belt and a silver watch will do the trick!

Patterned bow-ties offer a fun touch rather than the typical, dressy look. You can definitely add a blazer on top and completely pull the look together.

Every man needs that jacket that he can throw on and instantly get that “bad boy” feeling. A leather jacket gives that “rough around the edges” look without scaring the girls away. They actually like that tough guy look believe it or not. A bonus is that you can add a leather jacket with anything, even work slacks and dress shoes; it is really as versatile as you are comfortable. If you’re in an area where it is hot most of the year, opt for a jean jacket. It still gives that tough guy look but a way lighter feel. Try adding each jacket on top of a plain t-shirt, add some sneakers and maybe a cap and trust that you will have all the ladies drooling over you.
