a final spring essential breakdown

first off, I truely want to apologize to all of the people that were waiting for me to finish the spring essentials series, but i became too busy with running for sophomore class president, fbn, etc. I APPOLOGIZE!!! i will definetly make it up to you all with some on point summer posts (=

this post is going to be my last spring post, even though it's well into summer...i just wanted to leave you all off on a good note. these are just a few pointers and tips i've learned about spring style and i can share those with you. that means that next year, you'll already have a few ideas of your wardrobe before the spring season actually hits.

let's start with the guy on the left: Joshua Kissi, who is actually my inspiration in the fashion world! in the springtime, like i said before, it's all about COLORS! but you can never go wrong with the classic white dress shirt. just make sure it's cotton, so it's nice and cool. patterned ties are also a springtime MUST. polka dots, stripes, plaid, etc. it always heightens your outfit. try going with the cotton, skinny ties. skinny ties say i'm wearing a tie, and i know what i'm doing. they're the trendy type of tie vs. the old fashion, church-going ones that we're so used to seeing. you're not a jerk; so you don't have to wear skinny jeans everytime you put a pair on, but PLEASE don't go back to baggy! if you still want to keep a clean-cut appearance without jeans that are tight around your ankles, try switching over to fitted jeans. they're the same as skinny, except not as tight. also, roll them up and wear no socks! i love this look. it automatically gives anything you wear, a preppy edge. the brown belt and loafers are also a must. no matter if it's dark or light brown, brown is a MUST for the spring time. on both outfits, the waistcoat is a traditional timeless peice, that every guy should have in their wardrobe.

on the left is another young man and i forgot his name...lol /:. but in the spring, you have to have at least one fedora. they're preppy and they can add the right touch to certain outfits. you can also wear them with t-shirts, not just dress shirts. the green and white striped shirt is good because it adds a bit more color to your outfit. the plaid tie is beautiful, especially with the tie clip (remember the thing about mixing and matching your patterns?) the white pocket hankerchief is also really nice. haha, when i first saw these pants, i thought they were pajamas! but then i noticed the cuffs, pleats, and creases and i realized that they were slacks. i like them, and i'm sure that i'll buy at least one pair. i've yet to find any though. but when i do, il'l be sure to let you all know the source! i thought that the green and white striped socks were a bit much, but then i realized that they went with his shirt. the two-toned saddle shoes are also a personal favorite of mine. i don't know which ones i like better: them or the loafers...both of them are good to have though!
