Spring is a great time to freshen things up, and you don’t have to reinvent your whole closet to do it. Here are 5 simple style moves that any guy can pull off — no overthinking required.
1. Try Cellulose Shirting
You already know cotton and linen are spring staples, but this season, keep an eye out for shirts made with cellulose fibers like rayon, lyocell, and modal. These fabrics are crazy soft, super light, and extra breathable — perfect when the weather starts heating up.
I'm a big fan of the Nico Shirt from Common Market and the Draped Linen collection from Buck Mason. Both strike that ideal balance between relaxed and refined.
2. Swap in Natural Pants
Natural-colored pants are an easy upgrade from jeans — and they immediately make your whole outfit feel more thoughtful and spring-ready.
A few solid picks:
- J.Crew’s canvas trousers for a clean classic look
- Every Other Thursday’s fatigue pants if you want something a little cooler and more rugged
- Plus, if you’ve been thinking about trying wider-leg pants, natural shades are a great place to start.
3. Upgrade Your Hoodie Game: Unlined Cotton Outerwear
Instead of reaching for a hoodie every day, try an unlined cotton jacket.
Think chore coats, military shirts, and work jackets — something you can throw over a tee and just leave on all day like a casual outer layer.
The trick is to treat it less like a jacket and more like a hoodie upgrade.
4. Upgrade Your Hoodie Game Again: Cotton Sweaters
Another hoodie alternative? Lightweight cotton sweaters.
They breathe way better than wool but still look sharp, and they work with both pants and shorts.
I’ve been loving the Buck Mason Seafarer Sweater — it holds its shape way better than most cotton knits out there.
5. Bring Back Chambray & Denim Shirts
Chambray and denim shirts are never really out of style, but they feel especially right for spring this year.
You can mix different shades for an easy denim-on-denim look, or pair one with natural pants for a lighter vibe.
I grabbed a couple from Madewell, but honestly, good ones are everywhere right now.
