Gear Up for Spring with These 5 Trends – Sponsored by East Dane

Baseball Cap

The perfect accessory to block the blistering sun on your favorite golf course or to add a bit of style to your polo and trousers, baseball hats are giving men of all ages and walks of life shade, while keeping them “cool”. The baseball hat is once again getting its time to shine–while blocking it of course!

Denim Jeans

Gone are the days of men’s being subjected to one style and fit of denim. Nowadays, we are pleased to see a wide range of denim, from raw to distressed and from slim fit to the baggy Tommy Hilfiger variation seen in so many 1990’s hip-hop music videos. Denim jeans have been reworked and refined in an exciting way that actually looks good with a day or evening ensemble.

Our top pick: Calvin Klein Jeans

Weekender Bag

This alternative to the classic duffle bag is back and is being made available in a broader assortment than ever before. From the futuristic graphic pattern on beautifully textured canvas, the weekender bag is as utilitarian as they are stylish.

Printed socks

Have a bit of fun with your style. Not for fashion’s faint of heart, wearing printed socks are amazing when done correctly, and awkward and pretentious if you miss the mark. Even if you chose to wear custom face socks or glittery socks, for example, you can find a way to style them, which will hopefully make your outfits look even cooler! Though this trend doesn’t have much rhyme or reason, be sure to match the type of sock with the right ensemble. Usually the thinner the sock, the better.

Graphic Tee

In recent times, the often one dimensional, basic T-shirt has become synonymous with chic. The current resurgence of graphic T-shirt demonstrates that “cool” design ultimately determines what looks good, while bringing variety in an array of shapes, proportions, and illustrated designs for the masculine silhouette. From logos to printed illustrations, a little volume can fill up the void basic tees have created.
