The Leisure Study's Spring Fashion Spread

Yes. Dressing well is key to living leisurely. Here's some trends you'll be seeing this spring/summer.  I know what you're thinking, but these are real clothes that the stylish hipsters of haberdashery will be showing off.  Just remember: fashion is trendy, style is personal and timeless.  Use sparingly.

Suits: Stay Solid (Suit, Shirt, & Tie) 


Color combos are up to you

Casual:  Make it Pop with Some Color







Bright Color Khaki Pants take some courage, but don't be afraid to mix them with a variety of shirt/sweater combos.  Apparently going sock-less is the rage too (doesn't matter what the shoe type).  Just be sure it's cool with the people you work with, especially if you work in close proximity to each other. 


The cast of "Community" show you that a khaki suit or simple blazer/khaki combo is always in-season.  [From left to right]  V-Neck Tees (assuming you're part of the 10% that can pull it off, stick with crew neck), Madras/Plaid Shorts, Chunky Horizontal Striped tees & sweatshirts, Varsity Jackets, Chambray pants, and maybe a pink blazer if you can defend yourself.  


[L to R] Simple check shirt/Khakis/Bucks, A Jean Jacket that fits the right way/Webbed Belt/Colored Khakis/some casual sneakers, and the standard soft wash colored shirt/v-neck sweater/jean combo spiced up with some crazy nautical stripe shoes.  Speaking of Nautical....

Nautical Stripe Sweaters (whether navy or white) are going to be everywhere.  The Chambray Shirt underneath with the dark denim pants is a ballsy contrast too.  


Are we seeing a theme here? Stripes and Colors People.  Also, the Chunky Rugby is back.

You'll also see a changing of the guard this year from "Colored Gingham" to "Fine Print and Checks" like the one above from J.Crew.  

Accessories:  Don't Sweat the Small Stuff 

The "Wear with/do-anything" Shoe:  Gray Suede Bucks


Perfect Casual Shoe:  PF Flyers (as seen on Benny "The Jet" Rodrigues)

Unless you're going to a wedding, Turn up your tie game

Webbed Belts.  Lightweight, durable.  Solid or crazy colors.  It's up to you.
