This is another evolved state of my blog. I had to do some rethinking and in order to continue the lovable content on this blog, there are small changes. This happens to be one of them. I felt this needed to be a bit more dynamic. That's why on my last post was an entirely different post all together - no tips for either ladies or men. This is not to say that there will be no longer of the kind of advice in fashion or lifestyle. I am simply devoting each post to one topic over all.
On one single post, you will find something fun and on the next post you may find the advices and tips on fashion and lifestyle. With that said, let's continue with this new trend for this blog.

This may be a very mean thing to do, especially with men and women out there freezing their butts off while trying to go on with business as usual. Some of us are yearning for the passing of this horrid winter for the sun to bask in its glory once again. What's next? Spring, of course. In the fashion world, it always has to be looking forward. I'm talking about how even now we have a Fall 2011 preview. Since autumn is several months away, here is a preview of what you will be expected to aim for in this coming Spring.

Gentlemen, get ready to indulge yourselves. Some things to consider, no, things to do and purchase for your Spring wardrobe.

Tobacco brown suit (not linen)

1. Linen is good. Sorry, great. One thing in love about spring is sporting a linen suit. I have always been fond and love the fabric. It's light and does not suffocate. Three things to keep in mind: First, the new linen styles are in a darker color; it takes a break from that beige and white we are used to. It is darker and easier to wear; meaning, it's dressier. Second, don't be afraid of the wrinkles. That is what linen is for, the casual yet stylish way to dawn a fabric. Finally, these linen suits are mainly for that casual feel, but you can actually use it for the same in a more semi-formal or dressier way. Just makes sure to sport a pocket square and a dress watch.
2. Ties galore. If you are going to have a tie around your neck, make sure they come in deeper contrast colors in plaid. It's refreshing and colorful yet can be used in a professional setting. Given the shirt you are wearing is important, the aim in the ties is for a darker and richer shades of the colors you wish to wear.
3. More on the microcheck. The microcheck shirt is a miniature version of the gingham style shirt. The checks on the shirt are so small that from even a short distance they seem to be hidden. It's as if the checks aren't there in the first place. Although, the distinction of the checks can be made once you have worn it with the right tie, vest, or jacket.

4. Double-breasted. One thing I love about fashion is that it will always pay its respect to the past styles. This spring you will see a mad amount of double breasted jackets, sweaters, coats, and cardigans in stores. There is no one-way to wear the double breasted style. Check out Kid Kudi to the right. He's got the jacket buttoned up with a v-neck tee.
5. Weave around your waist. For the casual moments, it's great to have the woven belts. This accessory is for your weekend chinos and jeans. If you are brave enough to make a statement trying on a contrasting color from your pants. For example, light-color belt with a darker wash jeans and vice versa.
6. Socks that make your shoes shine? Yes, you read correctly. It's great that you have put an expensive investment in some nice calf-skin leather shoes. The thing is you can make eyes drawn even more down to your shoes with a contrasting colored socks. Gray pants and light-brown shoes with lavender dress socks. Delicious.
7. For this spring, try and sport pocket squares as much as possible. The solid white pocket square is here to stay, but this spring go for the poka-dots and stripes in cotton or silk. They come in all different colors, in solid or two-toned. You will never run out of combinations. 
8. The cool thing to do is not always wear jeans. You can still put on a pair of different colored chinos. It's not all just about khaki. That's the whole point of spring. Be colorful and fun and rejoice that the freezing winter just ended.
9. Here is a solid statement. Considering your skin tone, dawning a tobacco brown suit is a plus. It's a lighter shade of brown so it's not that much of an eye-sore. If worn with a pale blue shirt, the light brown will be darn right beautiful.
10. Again with the contrasting! It's always good to sport different color suits with contrasting colored accessories. Although, this spring is asking you to be playful with many different colors outside the professional work place. But when it comes to rich blue suits, always compliment them with equally rich brown accessories. Shoes, ties, and bags. Again, a couple of things to keep in mind: A brown leather bag only gets better with age. Second, I couldn't say it any better, "Brown dress shoes should be dark, like the color of coffee with just a touch of cream." - GQ
11. All the wonderful and comfortable polo shirts. I didn't realize until several years ago how much I loved polo shirts. Fitted ones of course, not those over-sized embarrassments. The polos in discussion here is the 1950s inspired that is marked by a striped collar and a knit waistband.
12. Loafers, I simply love them on casual occasions. Buying loafers are a sign that you don't take everything seriously. There is a certain way to buy loafers, though. It depends on your liking. You have to first ask yourself if the loafers are closer to boat-shoes or lace-ups. Finding the right pair is the one that is a slim and elegant silhouette (the design or stitching) and the leather looks like it'll look better with a simple shine rather than a tough breaking-in. Rock these shoes without socks. This is can be used with both suits or just a weekend hang out. You just have to make sure it is the appropriate style in order to wear it with a suit or just casual clothes (in chinos).

13. Finally, rock the most versatile dress shirt this spring. The new breed of khaki shirts have a certain sophistication in them that will perfectly fine with the rest of your dress shirts in your closet. You don't even have to be dressed up to wear the khaki shirt either, same goes for the ties. You can easily flow it with some nice jeans and appropriately accessorize while you're at it.
