The 8 Things Every Man Needs for Spring
Spring is here, and with it comes the perfect excuse to hit reset on your wardrobe. After months of cooler weather and heavier fabrics, it’s time to bring in lighter layers, fresh colours, and those versatile pieces that make dressing in warmer weather feel effortless.
So, where should you start? We’ve put together a checklist of the eight essentials every man needs to take on spring with ease.
1. Lighter wash denim
A great pair of jeans anchors every wardrobe, but spring calls for a fresh update. Lighter washes feel more relaxed and instantly set the tone for the season. Pair with a tee for off-duty days, or with a button-down and blazer for smart-casual events.
Our pick: AG Felix Jean in VP Lobera
2. The perfect short
As the days get warmer (and school holidays roll around), shorts will be on heavy rotation. A well-cut pair strikes the balance between comfort and polish, meaning you can wear them for everything from backyard BBQs to weekend lunches.
Our pick: AG Wanderer Short in Solar Oasis
3. A lightweight knit
Spring isn’t all sunshine. A breathable, easy knit is essential for layering on cooler mornings or evenings. Toss it over your shoulders for a polished touch, or wear it with denim and sneakers for casual days.
Our pick: John Varvatos Vejano Regular Fit Crewneck
4. Sunglasses
Nothing transforms an outfit quite like the right pair of sunglasses. Whether it’s statement frames or a classic shape, sunnies are your quickest route to looking sharp.
Our pick: Garrett Leight Hampton X Sun 46 in Grey Blue Smoke
5. Fresh sneakers
Clean sneakers are a non-negotiable for spring. They’ll take you from AFL finals with mates to casual Fridays at the office, and even dress down tailoring.
Our pick: Philippe Model PRSX Low Man in Mixage Pop & Militaire
6. Easy slides
For days when sneakers feel too much, slides are the answer. Elevated enough to wear out, but effortless for downtime.
Our pick: Officine Creative Agora/010 in Military
7. The modern boardshort
Spring is the lead-in to summer, which means it’s time to get your swim game sorted. A sharp pair of boardshorts takes you from the pool to the bar, no outfit change required.
Our pick: Orlebar Brown Bulldog Glid in White Sands
8. The spring blazer
Event season is here, and a lightweight blazer is your secret weapon. From spring racing to long lunches, it’s the polished layer that makes every look sharper.
Our pick: Lardini Man Iconic Jacket 210PA
The Bottom Line
Spring is less about reinventing your style and more about refreshing the essentials. With these eight staples (lighter denim, tailored shorts, a lightweight knit, sunglasses, sneakers, slides, boardshorts, and a sharp blazer), your wardrobe will feel versatile, modern, and ready for anything the season throws at you.
