T he spirit of the times is bold— colors are getting brighter, clothes are getting tighter, and now is not the time to shy away from prints. This spring, men are getting flashy in nerd-chic. Neons and horizontal stripes are giving classic cardigans and sweater vests some much-needed edge, and closer fits mean cleaner silhouettes.

Streamlined simplicity is key. Today’s man isn’t afraid to sport a narrow leg on his trousers, and knows when to wear a more casual jersey cardigan instead of his more formal knit one.

A limited but bright palate is the key to making a springy statementshy;. Primary colors are fail-safe—channel Mondrian and the Bauhaus crowd with a Crayola spin. American Apparel’s dizzying array of hues is a good jumping off point, but the possibilities are endless.

This philosophy applies on the court, at the office and in the classroom, but remember that a little eccentricity goes a long way; pairing one quirky item with neutral solids is the way to go.
