Spring is here. Freshen yourself up.

Allow me to get down to it; spring is a time to re freshen and brighten things up. When it comes to our personal style, we should take a moment to check in on our wardrobes and see what could be updated for the time of year that brings warmer temps and longer days. Here are five things that a Man About Town should not be with out for the months ahead:

1. A Cotton Suit: It is absolutely the most versatile suit I own. I purchased a peaked lapel version in a very spruced up slate blue. It can be worn when doing business in more tropical climates and also for those jaunty cocktail parties where you never know what to put on-put this on with a great t-shirt –you’re out the door and if you end up on a plane and you’ll be perfectly attired.

2. The driving moc: Too many guys have trouble with what to put on their feet when they shouldn’t wear flip-flops and lace ups are too dressy. The Italians have it right with their casual, yet sophisticated slip on moccasin. If you’re feeling punchy, invest in a pair made from red or green leather. I own a pair of shiny black Tod’s and people actually have pulled over to ask me about my shoes and they are 5 years old.

3. The linen sport coat: Vegas in the summertime or your friend’s backyard beach party-a linen sport coat can look stellar with jeans or even shorts. I’d go for one in cream, light blue or even green- It’s not the time of year to take clothes too seriously. Lighten up for God’s sake!

4. Gradient Sunglasses: Everyone says choose Wayfarers or aviators however a classic frame with gradient tint lenses can really set you apart in the sunnier months ahead. Robert Evans, who produced the Godfather, was known for his gradient tinted glasses and he was also known to throw the best parties in Hollywood-so when the sun starts to set and you feel that you need to shade your peepers from the pool’s glow, grab a pair or these glasses and shake up some cocktails…it’s going to be a long night.

5. Pearl Blueberry Vodka: Yes, we know you can’t wear this however when you do rock your fresh lively jacket and cool shades, crack a bottle of this tasty vodka and pour it over the rocks, add fresh lemonade and just like that, you’ll be crafting an exquisitely simple and refreshing cocktail.
