Spring is almost here so we all know what that means:
Time to do a little bit of wardrobe editing. Here you will
find everything you need to be properly suited from
head-to-toe for the upcoming months. Many Spring
collections have a wide range of looks and affordability,
from ultra luxe to preppy and a hybrid of both.  Skins in
croc and suede will still be very essential while we now
throw in the plaid and madras just to keep things a bit
more approachable and not overly pretentious.  

In this article I give you the Fashion Q&A run-down of
the 10 items every fashionable man absolutely can't do
without this season, and maybe a little extra. This
season, look forward to lighter colors, skinnier ties, and
shoes with no socks, but please, just because it is Spring
doesn't mean you can slack off when it comes to
completing your look. There are ways to look polished
without looking like you tried too hard.

1. Blazer
2. Jeans/trousers
3. Tie
4. Gingham/Madras printed shirts
5. Light colored suit
6. Shoes

Adam Lippes first came on the scene with his
Adam + Eve line worn by celebrities, such as,
Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Aniston, and David
Bowie. He recently launched a line under his

Steven Cox and Daniel
Silver makeup the duo
behind the Duckie Brown
label. Cox is a former
designer at Tommy
Hilfiger; and Silver is a
former daytime TV
producer.

Their line can be defined as
unconventional in terms of
color schemes, but that's
what sets them apart from
traditional men's fashion.

More men's collections
should encourage the use of
vivid colors like lemon, and
scarlet red, which make
bold statements on and off
the runway.
Before his death in 1986 Perry
Ellis spent his career
cultivating how American

He created a line that would
suit the every day needs of an
active man.
Perry Ellis fashion is now
owned by Supreme
International and is still a top
American sportswear line.
