Keeping it Cool: Spring Menswear Guide

A word that comes to mind when we think of Spring is cleaning! Keeping the spirit of spring cleaning alive, we’ve decided to tailor a menswear guide specific to the changing weather of Spring!

It’s time to put your Fall and Winter pieces away for the warmer months of Spring and Summer. We know it’s hard, but put away the wool.

However, keep in mind that some pieces may work for a chic spring look. If you have any neutral linens or a favorite pair of chinos, feel free to leave them in the keep pile.

This guide was meant to keep you from sweating the small stuff, both figurative and literally.

A few of our favorite Spring neckties can be found below:

Tie Bars: Do’s and Don’ts

Tie Bars and How to Wear Them

We all too often see individuals with the incorrect tie bar placement, so we decided to create the perfect image to represent exactly where the tie bar should be placed. We don’t blame you, we know they can be confusing, but we wanted to make it a little less confusing and give you the perfect placement. That way next time you go to wear a classic tie bar you’re not too cold or too hot, you’re just right. 

We’ve also decided to put a few tie bar and tie combinations down below so you know how to pair your favorite tie with your newest tie bar. Be brave in your color combinations, the opportunities for a silver or black tie bar are endless. We also gave you a dash of color with our favorite turquoise blue tie bar paired with a chic gray necktie.
