Even if you’re not a men’s style enthusiast, you don’t have to wait until the new year to reassess the things in your life that you’ve set to autopilot, including the spring fashion essentials in your wardrobe — or lack thereof.
“Spring is defined by new beginnings,” NYC-based art world professional Jack Nelson says. “It’s a moment to reintroduce vibrancy and light into our days, and it’s an opportunity for us all to consider our personal redefinitions or our style evolutions.”
Hazel Morley, Bonobos’ vice president of design, echoes this sentiment. “As the weather starts to thaw, it’s a great time to be more playful and add some color or a fun print into your wardrobe.”
“Take the time to properly evaluate what you can eliminate from the year prior and assess the new pieces you want [to] usher in,” says Todd Snyder, fashion designer and founder of the eponymous fashion label. “A best practice is to start with refreshing the quintessential wardrobe staples … Once the foundation is set, then look to layer on the more conversational and trend-forward pieces.”
It’s also good to keep in mind the “unpredictable nature of transitional seasons,” says NYC-based fashion designer Max Kitabayashi, who shares that “smart layering is key” when it comes to effective spring dressing. But most importantly, a spring wardrobe refresh should be an opportunity to have fun exploring your style and fashion sense. “I think versatility and quality are things to always look for when shopping for new pieces,” professional stylist Fred Kim says. “But men’s fashion has come such a long way, and I’d like to encourage men to explore brighter colors and bolder silhouettes.”
Ahead, we’ve consulted stylists, influencers, editors, designers and other sartorial enthusiasts on their favorite brands and pieces, and we’ve compiled it into this guide aimed at helping you craft the perfect men’s spring wardrobe.
Buck Mason is a menswear brand all about the very best essentials, well loved for its commitment to craftsmanship and consistent high quality. Each of the brand’s designs are produced in the States and are “a riff on an iconic American staple.” So, it’s no surprise that when it comes to the most essential of basics — T-shirts — Buck Mason is where our experts look. “I have tees from Buck Mason from 2015 that feel and fit just as new now,” Kim raves. The brand’s attention to detail is clear from the universally flattering fit and durable fabric choices.
This classic fit, crewneck tee is Kim’s top pick. “The quality and fit are unparalleled,” he explains. The signature curved hem is super flattering, and the premium, lightweight cotton is knit in the USA and is prewashed so it comes to you preshrunk and perfectly broken in.
Patrick Kenger, menswear stylist and founder of Pivot Image Consulting, is a fan of the brand’s tees and the fact that they’re available in a range of different fabrics. If you prefer a more substantial tee, this rugby-inspired cotton option is super sturdy while still being soft and comfortable.

The Japanese casual wear brand has been quickly embraced by people around the world, and for good reason. Beloved for its well-made, affordable clothing, Uniqlo is unmatched when it comes to timeless and functional staples that outperform similarly priced competitors. Recommended by multiple experts we spoke to as their go-to destination for T-shirts, the brand’s range of high-quality, comfortable options — think different colors, silhouettes and fabrics — makes it so that there truly is something for every guy.
“I’ve lost count of how many of these I have,” says Daniel Rathburn, our programming editor. “They are thick enough to wear on their own, and the solid, neutral colors are perfect for wearing under any jacket or denim button-down.”
“My tried-and-true brand for good, quality T-shirts that won’t break the bank is always Uniqlo,” says DC-based content creator and style influencer Evan Smith. This 100% cotton option is durable, comfortable and one of his — and Kitabayashi’s — personal favorites.
Long-sleeve T-shirts are super-useful layering pieces. LA-based menswear content creator and influencer Vince Lee recommends this slightly oversized option, which features ribbed cuffs and a chest pocket.
Spring dressing is all about a smart transitional wardrobe, and Bylt specializes in just that. The men’s clothing brand excels in comfortable, durable basics that are meant to be worn throughout the year and for all sorts of occasions — from the gym to the office to date night and everything in between. The brand’s tees are a favorite of our operations and strategy lead Roy Lee. “It’s admittingly an Instagram purchase, but I’m glad they targeted me because the fit is great,” he says, and “the quality is amazing.”
This tee — the brand’s hero product — is made from Bylt’s signature fabric, a combination of cotton, polyester and spandex. It’s ultra stretchy and has a super-comfortable, slightly drapey, looser fit. “The drop-cut style adds a touch of originality that stands out from your basic T-shirt,” Roy Lee says. And it’s available in tons of great colors.

Timeless and sophisticated yet still accessible, Banana Republic and Banana Republic Factory are well known for their range of casual to formal clothing. The brand’s tees are particularly standout, especially given the variety of styles, fits and colors available. It’s a favorite among both experts and everyday guys we spoke to, who were all impressed with the quality and overall range offered by the brand. “I’ve been super impressed with Banana Republic lately,” Kenger says. “It’s great to know you can count on them for basics.” Even our own vice president of commerce, Mike Bruno, suggests stocking up when the brand runs sales, sometimes with markdowns at 50% off.
Kenger’s tee of choice, this soft yet durable everyday option is made from 100% Supima cotton. The material resists pilling and shrinking, so it’ll last wash after wash for years to come.
Bruno shares that of his collection of a couple dozen solid-colored tees, many are these Luxury Touch tees. “The fit is comfortable without being boxy, and the quality is good enough to last,” he says. And he’s not the only one. The tee is a fan fave and even boasts anti-odor and moisture-wicking properties.
This bestselling classic crewneck is made from 100% certified, organically grown cotton. It’s incredibly soft and finished with a wash process that leaves the material feeling comfortably worn in.
Founded by designer Todd Snyder, the brand was inspired by Snyder’s love of New York City and its fashion, along with the desire for quintessential wardrobe staples that could help men dress smarter. You’ll find well-tailored, beautifully designed and expertly crafted pieces across product categories, though the brand’s commitment to fit and quality is particularly standout when it comes to its button-downs.
“Nothing is better than a clean, white button-down shirt,” Kim says. “Todd Snyder makes the best oxford shirt that goes with just about anything.” The brand’s founder agrees.
Made from 100% Irish linen, this button-down is piece-dyed and prewashed so it’s exceptionally soft. And in warmer weather, it would be “perfect on its own or layered over a plain tee,” Kenger says.
“This lounge shirt from Todd Snyder is so versatile,” Vince Lee says. “You can dress it up by wearing it with a blazer or dress it down with a pair of jeans.”
“Button-downs immediately make me think of J.Crew,” Smith says. “And no, not because they are inherently a preppy article of clothing, but because J.Crew has been doing them forever … Dare I say they’ve mastered them?” The timeless brand is a go-to for just about any type of classic clothing you’re looking for. Effortlessly stylish while consistently functional and high quality, the brand’s range of button-downs is crucial when it comes to such an essential piece. “They offer more cuts, patterns and colors than can fit in a single wardrobe, so there is truly something for everyone,” Smith adds.
A revamped version of the brand’s bestselling and incredibly versatile Secret Wash shirt, this classic yet fun button-down is made from a 100% premium cotton material that’s both super smooth and strong.
“When I think of spring fashion, I think of lightweight layering,” Smith says. “It’s also when we start seeing color make a comeback.” This twill shirt is a perfect transitional piece: You can wear it on its own or over a short-sleeve or long-sleeve tee.
If you love a good printed shirt, opt for this textured sweater tee. The camp collar and print gives it a bit of a vintage feel, while the roomy yet structured fit makes it a comfortable option for layering, whether over a tank or under a light jacket.
British clothing brand Charles Tyrwhitt specializes in formal menswear, and over the past 37 years has amassed a global fan base that stretches far beyond its original London storefront on Jermyn Street. Timeless yet stylish with a “pinch of British charm,” as founder Nick Wheeler describes it, Charles Tyrwhitt focuses on high-quality, responsible pieces that’ll make you look like a million dollars sans the luxury prices. In fact, the brand believes in the quality of its pieces so much so that it guarantees them for up to six months — in any condition and no questions asked.
Bruno is a fan of Charles Tyrwhitt’s quality, customization options, and French-cuff shirts, which he describes as “great everyday go-to for work shirts.” He adds, “Prices are reasonable, especially when you grab the discount for buying three or four at a time.”
“As a tall and slim person, finding shirts — whether it be formal or casual — can be a challenge,” Roy Lee says, “but these fit the bill.” He’s a fan of the brand’s extra-slim fit option.
This non-iron button-down is wonderfully low maintenance, and the print is irresistible for dog lovers.

In short, our experts and everyday guys both agree that Reiss shouldn’t be overlooked as a go-to destination for when you’re looking to spend a little more on something that looks great and will last — especially when it comes to the brand’s button-downs.
“The quality is terrific, and snug fits are a great match for my body type,” says Bruno, who has a couple suits from the brand as well. These versatile button-down overshirts are a particular favorite of his.
According to Kenger, Cuban shirts are a spring wardrobe must-have. The relaxed style screams vacation, he says, and is perfect for kickstarting your warm-weather wear. He’s a fan of this “fun and funky” option, perfect for “brightening things up.”
This textured button-down shirt is made from 100% cotton, and perfectly combines a classic silhouette with a fashion-forward finish.
Where to buy transitional jackets and sweaters
Founded in 2010, Huckberry is an American online retailer and one of the best places for outdoors-loving guys to discover high-quality clothing, gear and accessories that work equally well for everyday life and the actual outdoors. The brand has a couple of its own products but is most well known for curating the very best products from independent and innovative designers and other brands. So, it makes sense that when it comes to smart, weatherproof outerwear, Huckberry is the place to go.
“What I appreciate most about waxed jackets, aside from their waterproof quality, is the patina that is unique to each wearer as they are broken in wear after wear,” Kim says. “The more you wear them, the better they look over time.” Bonus: It’s also the jacket Pedro Pescal wore in season one of “The Last of Us.”
This simple but sharp fleece jacket is perfect for chilly spring mornings. Throw it over a T-shirt with some jeans for a morning coffee run and you’ll be the flyest guy in line, no matter how tired you are.

San Francisco-based direct-to-consumer brand Quince is focused on offering luxury-quality products without the luxury markup.

The brand is super transparent about the associated costs of each product and even compares the cost of each of its products to those of similar brands as well as traditional retail cost. While Quince is a popular brand for all types of sustainable clothing at a great price point, the markdowns on traditionally pricey items like cashmere sweaters and durable outerwear are absolutely worth calling out.

Loafers are a perfect spring shoe — comfortable, easy to slip on, versatile for both formal and casual wear, and, truthfully, an easy way to look a lot more put together. There’s no brand that does loafers like G.H. Bass, which was founded in 1876 with the goal of creating durable, stylish shoes that will last years and not just seasons.

“Hats are a quick and easy way to add a pop of personality to any outfit,” Smith says. “So, naturally, you’ll want a color for every mood.” In what might seem contrary to being a massive, global brand, Gap focuses on a few universally popular hat designs made from high-quality fabrics and offers them in a range of fun colors. Smith opts for and recommends choosing hats made from 100% cotton for maximum breathability, a nonnegotiable when it comes to all-day comfort for when it gets warmer out.
