Our Guys Share Their Spring Fashion Favorites


We’re changing things up for today’s Wednesday style post. Instead of us posing awkwardly in front of the camera, our guys are taking over. And we’ve gotta say…they’re a hell of a lot less awkward than we are in front of the camera. How are they such naturals?!

Men’s Spring Fashion

We thought it would be fun for our husbands to share their favorite men’s spring fashion finds. If your guy needs some attention in the wardrobe department, you may find some new staples for his closet! And with Father’s Day quickly approaching, there might be some good gift ideas on their wardrobe lists too. So let’s stop yapping and let our 2 favorites take over…

Finn’s Spring WardrobeA khaki pant and navy blazer are perfect for men's spring fashion

Finn: The spring fashion period is truly my favorite, especiallyย when you live in a diverseย weather city such as Chicago. One day it’s a sweater and chinos, and the next I want to find the closest pool and never leave.

I view it as an opportunity to blend the lines of casual and formal (as well as a chance to buy new must-have’s.) Pairing a casual blazer with contrasting pants and bold shoes isย a simple way to branch out and enjoy the weather.ย  Next time you head to a work happy hour, a nice dinner, or even a family party – think about jazzing it up and step out in style.

Dress your guy with a chambray button-down and khaki shorts

Most evenings in the summer, I am wearing shorts and casual shoes, so I look for a nice short sleeve button down to complete the look. I love how they are breezy and lightweight. Finding a few well-fitting and versatile short-sleeve button downs is a must for the summer.

Matt’s Spring Wardrobe

Create a casual look with a t-shirt and striped shorts for men's spring fashion

Matt: Spring is MOST CERTAINLY in the air! When warm temperatures creep their way into the Chicagoland area, it’s as exciting as a limited edition Shamrock Shake at McDonald’s.

Whether I’m taking the stroller for a walk around the neighborhood or wining and dining at an open-air restaurant, I like to dress for comfort and style. With each year that has gone by, I have noticed my attention to detail for shirt sizes and short designs. I used to love my “go- to” khaki shorts above the knee and a traditional polo shirt.

Now, I have expanded my wardrobe to more fitted t-shirts and shorts with some more creative designs (enter flamingos…you can never have enough flamingos).

If you find a style that you love, hold onto it! If you find shirts or shorts that fit you just right, buy enough of them to create your own “style rotation.” I like to think that my look is simple, yet stylish. I’m not trying to reinvent the fashion wheel, but I am a firm believer of lookin’ good leads to feelin’ good! Here are some of my go-to favorites these days…

Definitely my โ€œgo-toโ€ upper body attire for the summer months. These shirts have a comfortable material and a TON of different color options.
