What You Need To Know
As the old saying goes, “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.” And this seasonal switcheroo can trigger a veritable thunderstorm of fashion mistakes. To be completely fair, though, you’re not entirely at fault here. After being fed a steady, six-month-long diet of wool lined in shearling wrapped in down, it’s no wonder you’re in a hurry to make a hasty break for a swimsuit and sandals. But without heeding our words of caution, your newfound freedom could come at a hefty price.
FASHION DOs
Lighten up
After a long, lousy winter, old habits -- namely, wool, corduroy and cashmere -- can be hard to kick. Instead of boiling up in a heavyweight herringbone, make the switch to lighter fabrics like cotton and linen. Supersoft newcomers like hemp and bamboo are seasonably sensible options too. (Best of all, they’re environmentally friendly.)
Welcome the new season in style with our spring fashion rules.
- Put away winter fabrics like wool and corduroy. Invest in linen, bamboo and lots of cotton.
- Don't forget your scent. Lighter colognes are better at adjusting to the increase in body temps.
- Boardshorts, mandals and wraparounds need to be put to rest.

Crinkle fabrics
Wrinkle-ready fabrics top our textile selections for spring. Why? Because they lend themselves to the lived-in look that makes bearing a brutal winter worth it. But beware: Laid-back doesn’t mean lazy. Hard folds completely crush the rumpled, relaxed feel of the season. The key is to gently crinkle -- not crease -- your favorite finds in madras or linen. Old standbys like cotton work well too.

Layer lean
Just because winter is winding down doesn’t mean you have to lose your layers, especially if there’s still a chill in the air. This spring fashion rule requires reinventing your favorites from fall in fabrics that embrace the upward-trending temperatures, like cardigans in cotton and jackets in lightweight nylon.
Change colognes
If you were planning on spritzing your spicy oriental through spring, think again. Your scent selections from winter are simply too strong for the warmer weather, and sweating out the excess is bound to leave a trail of tears in its wake. Instead, choose fragrances with citrus and musk notes to complement the budding freshness of the spring season.

Invest in military themes
This fashion rule could actually be applied year-round (hence the investment). At this point, we’ve basically been beaten senseless with camo and epaulets. So, here’s to one more season of saluting military-inspired gear. This go around, look for army-issue charm with outerwear pieces, combat boots and drawstring details.

fashion don’ts
Settle for saggy slacks
Chinos are a prime choice for warmer weather. They’re cool, comfortable and, frankly, a hell of a lot more sensible than men's jeans in the scorching summer sun. But let’s face it: We’ve done a disservice by believing that khaki slacks shouldn’t flatter like a kick-*** pair of jeans. So, gentlemen, this spring, let’s stand up and say no to crappy-fitting cotton trousers and opt instead for ones with lower rises, slim-lined legs and backsides that don’t sag like an adult diaper.
