Style Advice To Give Your Guy


 Looking better doesn't have to take 10 years and thousands of dollars. These two dapper dudes put together eight easy (and frugal) spring fashion upgrades that cover everything from trousers and accessories to shoes—you get it. Consider this a friendly style intervention







Don't wear boat shoes. Do buck up. 

Instead of dusting off your booze-soaked boat shoes from the undergrad years of going out, grab a pair of shoes with some personality. Sure, your boat shoes were fine at one point considering all the times you were actually on a boat....not. Do this instead: Lace up, and look sharp. Kiss your old, beat-up friends goodbye.







Don't fear colorful denim.
You've got your blue jeans, your light khakis and maybe a pair of grey khakis. Let's talk about red, shall we? It's your next step into wearing colorful denim. Your wardrobe is practically neutral anyway, so just pair whatever you were going to wear with jeans with your red pants. Bingo.

  

 Don't raid your dad's floral shirt collection. 

Don't let your Dad have all the fun in his baggy, Sunday funday floral button down. You can rock the floral but you'll do it better. Get the trim fit and pair with a nice rolled khaki. If you don't mind all the Mraz jokes you'll have thrown your way at Big Star, top it off with a fedora. 

  

Ditch the backpack, try a tote. 

Instead of the backpack, consider the tote as a less run-of-the-mill option. Easy, buddy. It's a bag with handles. That's it. It carries things. Just like other bags. (And it may even get you a discount at the grocery store.)
