Spring is a time for new beginnings, and your wardrobe is a good place to start.

Put away those winter coats, bulky sweaters, and heavy wool pants and replace them with clothing made from lighter, easy-breathing fabrics like cotton.

Feel free to experiment with bright colors and patterns, but start with a neutral base. For example, if you intend to wear a bold paisley print shirt, pair it with khaki shorts and white sneakers.

To help you build your spring wardrobe, we’ve selected 10 Essential Spring Fashion Items Every Well-Dressed Man Needs.

Scroll through the list and update your closet with these essential spring fashion items.

Polo Shirt

A polo shirt is a wardrobe staple. It is comfortable, cool, and easy to style.

You can pair a polo shirt with shorts, jeans, or khakis.

Try the Original Polo Shirt from Lacoste ($110.00)

Lightweight Blazer

A lightweight blazer can keep you warm when the temperature dips, but it is light enough to keep you cool on warmer days.

They can also add a dressy touch to a casual outfit.

Look for unstructured blazers made with linen, cotton, or a blend of both.

Try the Unstructured Italian Linen Blazer from Bonobos ($450).

Sunglasses

As the temperatures rise, you will be spending more time outdoors.

That’s why it’s important to have a good pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes. Look for sunglasses that fit your face and provide 100% UV protection.

Some brands to consider are Maui Jim, Oakley, and Ray-Ban.

Tailored Chinos

Chinos are a wardrobe staple because they can easily be dressed up for work or dressed down for hanging out with your friends.

Explore different colors to spice up your wardrobe.

Try these Slim-fit stretch chino pants by J. Crew ($79.50)

White T-Shirt

A soft, white t-shirt caresses your skin and goes great with any outfit.

It’s simple and easy to wear with shorts, jeans, or a suit.

T-shirts are also good for layering.

Try this Luxury-Touch Crew-Neck T-Shirt from Banana Republic ($40)

Fresh White Sneakers

Spring is the perfect time to exchange your boots for fresh, white sneakers.

Classics such as Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars will always be in style, but many other sneaker brands design modern, comfortable shoes that look good with a variety of outfits.

Try some of the styles from Nike, adidas, or Vans.

You can also visit Foot Locker for a wider selection of fashionable sneakers.

Fun Casual Shirt

Life is too short to wear boring shirts.

Show your personality with a fun, colorful casual shirt.

Today’s designers offer a variety of bright colors, designs, logos, and patterns.

Floral prints are popular this season and one of our favorites is the Bonobos Jersey Riviera Shirt ($79).

Shorts

When the weather gets warmer, many men like to bare their legs.

Avoid ill-fitting, bulky cargo shorts that make you look like a frat boy and shorts that are so long that they look like capri pants.

Look for shorts with a 6″ to 9″ inseam.

Try these Slim Ultimate Micro-Stripe Linen-Blend Shorts at Old Navy ($29.99).

Wristwatch

Many people believe a watch is an unnecessary accessory in this age of portable electronic devices.

But a watch is more than just a device to tell time.

It is a fashion statement that expresses your personality and shows that you care about the details.

Try the MSTR Aviator Watch ($250).

Rain Jacket 

Spring showers are unpredictable, and you want to be prepared for the weather with a light, durable rain jacket.

Try this Old Navy Water-Resistant Hooded Rain Jacket ($69.99)
