You’re going to see a lot of bright colors this year. Mad Men might have resurrected the minimalist clothes color palate, but some designers are swinging in the exact opposite direction. Some to the point of garishness.
Color is good, so is pattern, but like whiskey, only in moderation. Upgrading your weekend or casual Friday style can be as simple as injecting a good dose of Gingham. This classic pattern is on an updated-fit shirt from the new Land’s End Canvas line, and it looks good. Button down collar keeps it classic, tailored fit allows it to be tucked in or left out.
Chinos, decent shoes, and a cotton blazer can complete the look for work. Jeans and American Sneaks for the weekend. Six colors of Gingham are offered, and a few solids as well. All available for only $34.50.
J. Crew is quietly doing 40% off some of their bestselling washed chinos.
Suiting up with a little color and other small nods to spring.
Next up in the trilogy: warming up a smart casual look.
The first of three style scenarios as we transition to warmer weather clothes.

It's nice when a brand warns their customers in advance of raising their prices.
