How big will accessories be for guys this spring? Are there any specific ones that will be very popular?Accessories are a great way for guys to individualize their looks. Fine-gauged cotton knit ties and slender woven ties give easy sophistication for summer while lightweight scarves in multi lengths continue a layering theme.
Spring 2009’s strong activewear influence pervades to bags: messenger bags and classic canvas totes take on utility influences with multi-pockets and zips. Roomy carryalls serve as great overnight bags and stylish gym bags. Intense blues, from cobalt to royal, are big for bags, scarves and as overall accent colors.
For anyone who's interested in simply adding to what he currently owns, how can a man most effectively update his wardrobe?A few key ideas to update the wardrobe:
* Dress shirts: slim-cut in smooth cotton with bold and subdued yarn-dyed stripes. Roll the sleeves.
* Suits: lightweight for spring, great in pale tans, pastels if he can work it
* Casual shirts: simple squares in summer gingham and tattersall checks
* Denim jacket: the standard makes a comeback, shrunken, just above the beltline
* Cardigans: fine-gauge cotton with color-blocked stripes along neckline and button placket
* Shorts: formal long shorts, at the knee in cotton suiting fabric
