3 Different Ways to Reinvent Your 2019 Style
The holidays are over, the new year is here, and spring is on the horizon. But, if you’re like many of us, you’re still bogged down in your warm-but-dreary cold weather gear left over from fall 2018—or earlier—and you’ve given little thought to what you’ll wear in 2019. Take it from us, though: the new year is the perfect time to upgrade your style, and looking to warmer weather outfits—either for fast-approaching spring or a tropical resort getaway—is a great way to brighten your mood, have some fun, and improve your overall vibe for 2019. To help, we’ve identified three emerging trends that will refresh your wardrobe and brighten your days.
Lighten Up
The days of the urban lumberjack are long gone, and while there’s still room in your wardrobe for some dark, raw denim, it’s also definitely time to lighten things up a bit, adding some light wash jeans to your rotation. This style plays on ’90s jean trends, but you don’t want to look like an outdated dad, so here opt for a slim fit like our Denim Rivingtons design, and roll them up to add a youthful, sporty feel to your look. Finish them off with a pastel Oxford, fine cotton tee, and some tortoiseshell sunnies for a clean, classic ensemble that’s sure to feel fresh for spring ’19 and beyond.
Add Some Layers
Layering isn’t just for winter dressing. Sure, layering up can keep you warm in a blizzard, but it’s also appropriate for spring and even warm weather vacations, when active days can give way to cool nights. Plus, it looks great and adds depth to any look. Here, we you can see that a long-sleeve waffle Henley fits perfectly under a short-sleeve button front shirt, adding color and versatility to any beach look. Add some shorts, sling a crewneck sweatshirt around your shoulders, and you’re good to go, with flexible options that you can strip off in the heat or add back on to stay warm—and stylish.
Take Yourself to the Tropics
More conservative corners of the menswear world have sometimes been hesitant to wear patterns that aren’t stripes of checks. But those days are over, and it’s time for men to embrace prints of all types, especially tropical prints and florals. And there’s no better introduction to those kinds of patterns than an old-school camp collar shirt adorned with palm fronds or flowers. That’s why we’re dropping our Rockaway Print shirt in new colors for Spring ’19. For a bulletproof resort look, pair that top with a lemon yellow tee, pleated linen pants, and classic sunglasses for a warm weather outfit that looks—and stays—cool in the heat.
