This spring, men’s fashion takes a turn into seriously tailored terrain from that just-so suit to crisply fitting trousers to the perfectly structured T. But fear not. This isn’t simply about form-fitting, retro-leaning lines. Bold patterns, the judicious pop of can’t-miss color and unexpected pairings lighten the vibe to take the starch out of all that structure for a casual, kick-back take on of-the-moment chic. Brightly colored pieces keep easy company with classic elements; exuberantly patterned shirts get paired with timeless stripes; and even that Cary Grant-era fitted cardigan gets blasted from the past when done in vibrant turquoise. Call it the ultimate A-team where traditional elements get in line with fashion-forward statement pieces. Think Burberry meets Marc Jacobs; Ralph Lauren meets Versace. Put it all together and you’ve got some serious game.
