They say that luck favors the prepared, and with spring upon us, if you still need to prepare your spring wardrobe for 2023, don’t expect to win any best-dressed awards. While it’s cliché to say that only girls have their fingers on the pulse of trending fashion, these days, more than ever, men are paying attention to the details and trends on the horizon to incorporate into their wardrobes. While having a well-rounded closet full of pieces you can incorporate year-round is essential to a timeless and signature style, you should always tweak your aesthetic based on the changing seasons. If you need a wardrobe to revamp or just a quick refresher on the trends you should be following as a man in 2023, keep reading for all the inspiration a guy could ask for.
Baggy Jeans
While there was a time when everyone was wearing skinny jeans, women ditched them over a year ago, and fellas, if you’re still rocking skinny-leg pants, it’s time to let them go. While you may not feel comfortable wearing oversized and baggy jeans, even though that’s the trend, at the minimum, you should be working with loose straight-cut jeans. You may feel like this is more flattering than the skinny you’re used to, but straight-leg or somewhat looser denim is more flattering no matter your body type.
Skinny Ties
Whether you have to wear ties for work or not, you should incorporate skinny ties into your aesthetic for spring 2023. Not only should you go skinny with the cut of your tie, but you should also opt for spring colors in beautiful pastels like pink and purple, and if you do go with a more classic or neutral navy or black, give it some texture or pattern through different fabrics or stripes and prints.
Spring Colognes
The cherry on top of any perfect men’s outfit is the right fragrance, and even if you have a signature scent that is your go-to, switching things up for spring is essential. You want to find a cologne with masculine notes and clean, fresh fragrances that fit the season perfectly, like Versace Eros by Versace, Egoiste by Chanel, or Dior Homme. Not only does cologne boost your attraction levels and confidence, but it can also make or break a meeting in your personal or professional life; take this critical step in your spring grooming.
The Color Purple
Regarding colors dominating the spring lookbooks and runways for 2023, purple reigns supreme as far as men’s fashion goes. Evoke your inner Prince and incorporate purple in every aspect of your wardrobe, from your t-shirts to accessories like hats and ties, even your socks. If you’re a sneakerhead, ensure you get your tennis shoes in beautiful lavenders and deep purples. Purple is historically the color of royalty, so feel like a king in this trending color.
Canadian Tuxedos
Denim on denim has come and gone throughout the decades as a trend, and it is roaring back into fashion for spring 2023. Incorporate this trend by wearing chambray shirts with your usual jeans or jean shorts, depending on how warm it is in your region during spring. You can also adopt this trend without going head-to-toe denim by pairing a denim jacket with jeans and a different type of top underneath. It’s also fun to play with different colors of denim, so consider wearing a blue chambray or denim button-down with a pair of black jeans.
V-Neck Tees
Remember in the early Arts when everyone wore the American Apparel deep v-neck t-shirt? If you were a fan, get excited because v-neck tees are seriously in style for guys this year. Since the weather is warming outside, ensure you stay comfortable and on trend by opting for t-shirts with an excellent deep v-neck cut. You’ll want to make sure that you opt for natural fabrics, so 100% cotton or 100% linen tees, and skip the synthetic blends – they’re not breathable, they’re not great for the environment, and sustainability never goes out of style.
Switching up your wardrobe with the season should become second nature whether you’re into fashion or not, so as your spring cleaning this year and declutter your closet make sure you fill it with the trends mentioned above because when you look good, you feel good and spring is all about feeling great!
