Plaid Look

Designers were mad for plaid this season but one look at the runways,
that means that wearing one of these new plaid suits won't seem out of a
place at a wedding this Easter.
White Denim
Mai Atafo | Terry Waya |
A pair of white denim jeans that fits as expertly brightens up any
look you pair it with and can handle any outfit you throw at them. Put a
gray t-shirt on top, and casual never seemed so elegant; throw a plaid
button-down and blazer over them to give new life to that
dressed-up-but-down. If you don't yet have a pair of white jeans in your
wardrobe, then I'd suggest you stop reading this and get some
immediately.
Impactful Print

The Hawaiian shirt makes its triumphant return this season but unlike
those oversized versions favored by vacationing dentists, designers
have updated the iconic shirt by trimming down the body, punching up the
patterns, and proposing new ways to wear one miles away from a tiki
bar. The key is finding an exploded floral pattern shirt with a dark
background; it's that crisp contrast that keeps the printed foliage
looking fresh over a pair of shorts or under a double-breasted jacket.
Pink
Ramsey Noah | Kanye West |
It's a funny thing, the first time you wear a pink shirt or blazer,
you feel daring, unique, and maybe a little feminine. And yes, there's
the oldish adage, "it takes a man to wear pink," but you might be
surprised that its association with the fairer sex is a fairly new
construct. In fact, pink has a long history as a man's colour. This
whole boys in blue, girls in pink thing is just a farce, a dirty lie!So
the next time you wear pink and think you might be a little girly, just
remember that your carrying on a long legacy of manhood.
Black & White
Tinie Tempah |
Opposites attract in a big way this season. The high contrast
combination of black and white adds a graphic punch to everything from
tailoring to t-shirts, dress shoes to trainers. What's exciting this
season about bringing the two tones together is that the contrasting
layers make the most sartorial combinations feel minimally cool while
accessories and wingtip shoes stand out like never before. Plus, with
only two hues on hand, nailing the trend couldn't be easier.
Crop Shorts
Koye & Bolaji Kekere-Ekun |
Remember when self-proclaimed well-dressed men wouldn't dare wear
shorts in public? Consider it history. Brands are finally on board with
slimmer, shorter shorts that are cut and crafted with the same attention
to detail as your high twist wool trousers. What that means when
getting dressed is that these shorts are ready for pairing with
sophisticated gear like luxe jackets, but still anchor sportier looks
when you're headed to the beach.
