With Spring in the air, it is not only women who have to think about having a Spring Fashion Capsule. Men as well need to think about transitioning their wardrobes from Winter to Summer weather. I know this is not for everyone as most men don’t often think refreshing their wardrobe until the item is completely finished. But for those fashionable men out there who like to put in an effort, here is an idea of what to include in your wardrobe. We have put together a men’s springtime Fashion Capsule for all our male readers. But before we get into that, here is how you can prepare your wardrobe for Spring.
Things to-do to prepare the wardrobe for Spring.
- Declutter – sort out the clothing, see what you can donate, what needs to be binned and what can be saved. This is also the perfect time to try on times that you bought but never wore. Items that you haven’t worn in over a year so be binned or donated.
- Organize – decluttering will help you to assess of what’s left, what should go where. Winter clothes should be packaged nicely to the back of the closet and bring to the front Spring and summer pieces.
- Update – once you’ve sorted the clothing and donating or chucked some, you will know what new pieces you need. Maybe you threw away a couple of t-shirts, this is the perfect time to add a couple.
Like women, most men are very fashion forward and often try to mix and match up there pieces. Last month we shared what dressing against the norm says about you, it should limit you. Whilst some people use fashion as a well to find their identity, that shouldn’t be the limiting factor. I am a strong advocate in learning about your body, what pieces will look good but also defying the orders. Fashion to me looks better when it feels better both inside and out, your confidence seeping through your clothes.
Men’s Springtime Fashion Capsule
Springtime is basically the lesser winter and lesser summer weather combined and this trips people over. Most end up with dressing too warm and sweat and others not enough and end up freezing. It can be hard to find the balance sometimes but I am all for pieces that can be adapted. I for one would rather be too hot and be able to take off items than cold and freeze to death. Here are some pieces we’ve included the men’s springtime fashion capsule that you should consider.
- Sweater – very handy items to have in your closet and so easy to style. Most men don’t feel the need to wear coats in spring so a good warm sweater would solve the problem.
- Jeans – can be worn all year round and be styled how you like.
- Light jacket – a must especially rain proof ones as they come in handy in the British weather.
- Hat – whilst it’s not exactly cold it’s not exactly hot either so makes sense to keep some heat that you’re losing.
- Scarf – always a stylish piece to have in your closet
As I mentioned in the Spring 2018 Fashion Capsule, Spring is a time of rebirth and regeneration. It’s start to refresh your wardrobe, whether multi purposing or buying new items for the new season. Whatever you decide, make sure it is pieces that you can utilize throughout the season. Pieces like a scarf, denim jacket and jeans can also transition into the summer months.
Apart from shoes like trainers and boots, what else would you include in your springtime fashion capsule? What items do you often reach for whenever spring comes along?

This is definitely an outfit that my partner would wear. I love the scarf!

This is definitely an excellent suggestion so we can check his wardrobe and declutter. I think he needs new jeans because he gains some weights.

This is pretty much my boyfriend’s entire closet! I love this style on him too! I might have to check out some of these pieces to gift to him
Heather Castillo says
My husband desperately needs a new wardrobe. Those jeans look a little feminine for him but the rest of the pieces are probably something he would consider.

I think my dad might actually enjoy this post, he’s in need of a revamp. Thanks so much

These are great. My husband would look awesome in all of this. The only thing I would nix is the scarf. Simply because we’re in Florida
Joanna says
I think that this type of hats are very stylish for men and they can be in fashion in any season. I like this trend on men actually.
Amber says
My husband personally wouldn’t wear any of this because he’s more of a casual t-shirt guy. But I’ve always liked a jean jacket! I wish I could get him to wear one! He does have a hat for when it gets cold, but it’s a chicken hat, so I tend to crack up whenever I see him wearing it.
Bryanna M says
I think this look is much too ‘trendy’ for my partner’s taste, but I love the idea of transitioning into the new season through pieces like this 🙂
Yeah Lifestyle says
These are great spring collection. I am loving the chequered hat and scarf very much!

Just like us, it’s good to have the basics in their wardrobe and they can work from there. I so love your picks for Spring. I think these are perfect!
Baby Isabella says
We love this time of year to have a good spring clean and declutter! Rotate our wardrobes and look forward to summer! Great tips and selection x

I live in Burnley, Our Spring will be like Winter. My partner will still live in hoodies.

Well we certainly like our men to look just as good as we do. Think the men in my family would like any and all of these clothing ideas.

These are some great ideas for helping to update a mans wardrobe for Spring, I probably need to try and do this for Ash as he has lost weight of late.
