Warmer days are upon us and that means spring fashion is officially here.
In-between seasons where it’s not as cold but also not considered “hot,” it’s the perfect time to transition out of the heavy outwear and experiment with some exciting new pieces.
For those looking for a wardrobe refresh, itās out with the coats and puffer jackets and in with the lighter layers, a little more colour and a lot more flare.
But with so many options to choose from, it can be easy to get overwhelmed. To get you ready, we rounded up 10 menswear essentials that are not only on trend for the upcoming season, but are staple pieces to have in putting together a stylish outfit for spring.

Side Bags
Warmer weather means you’ll be spending a bit more time outdoors and you’re going to need a stylish carry-on for your (socially distanced) outings. Whether it’s a sacoche, tote bag or shoulder pouch, accessorizing is always key.

Trucker Hats
It’s unfortunately time to set away the toques and make way for some new headwear. With the added ventilation, trucker hats in particular are a great accessory to have in providing functionality and style.

Camp Collar Shirts
On days where you want to step it up a notch, a flow-y, camp collar shirt is the way to go. Often boasting patterns or featuring vibrant colours, it’s a great top to consider when you want to add some flare.

Fatigue Pants
The wide-leg trouser is very underrated. If you’re not a shorts guy, a relaxed pair of lightweight workwear trousers are great not only to switch up the proportions but a good option to have when you still want to wear long pants.

Loafers
Leave your sneaker comfort zone and give loafers a try this season. Sophisticated and unique, here’s a style tip: Think vintage tee, light-washed jeans, no socks and a pair of these and you’re good to go.

Vests
If you still want to layer in the hotter months, vests are a great option. These days, you’ll see many variations whether it’s a quilted liner, fleece or even tactical mesh. What all of them have in common is that it will add a new dimension to your outfit.

White Tee
A solid white t-shirt is often just what you need. Technically, we would say its an all season essential but something about a pristine t-shirt just hits different in the spring and summer months.

Track Pants
Last but certainly not least, a pair of relaxed and breathable track pants are a great alternative to shorts when you still want to wear long pants but also looking to channel an athleisure aesthetic.
