5 stylish spring summer color combinations every guy should know

Leave behind the colors of autumn and winter to welcome spring and summer.

Now that spring is here, your wardrobe could use a little color update. While fall and winter are filled with turquoise and earth tones that keep you nice and cozy, spring and summer are designed with light and fun colors that will lighten your mood as much as the colors themselves. Spring colors are some of the brightest and lightest on the color wheel, including pastels and lighter shades of red, green, blue, and purple.

When it comes to spring colors for men, there are some great options to ensure your style is top-notch. Using these five color combinations will help you easily access some more interesting color palettes and make your wardrobe the talk of the town.

White/Navy Blue

Navy and white are two of the most classic and traditional looks. This won’t push anyone out of their comfort zone, but this pairing will get you started on the right foot. A white t-shirt with navy blue pants and a pair of spotless white soccer cleats will get you started in style. White is one of the best colors for warmer weather as it reflects the sun and keeps you cool. The biggest downside to this look is that white is very susceptible to dirt and stains, so be careful and carry a stain remover with you.

Tan/green

Now you can step a little further out of your comfort zone by darkening whites to a beautiful tan and lightening blues to robin’s egg. If you’re still a little hesitant to leave blue or neutrals behind, opt for some more seasonally appropriate looks with spins of this spring classic. These will be great for daytime wear and will keep you cool no matter what event you’re attending.

Pastel and cream

No more blues and no more earth tones. Embrace spring and summer and choose some pastels for your days out. Lavender is an easy way to escape the blues, as it goes with many of the same colors you're already wearing.

Blue/gray

When looking for the perfect spring/summer color combination, there is one unsung hero that you need to get your hands on as soon as possible. Gray is a neutral color, which means you can wear it with almost anything. Regardless of what you wear with it, the best choice for spring/summer is green. When April showers start to give way to May flowers, green helps you be as festive as possible.

Monochrome

Finally, color coordination is one of the most important aspects of dressing stylishly for spring. But sometimes the best combination is to use the same color on top and bottom. Monochromatic looks, when done well, can be one of the most interesting outfits at any event. If done poorly, they can look a little too flashy. Sticking to pieces that are designed to be worn together is the safest bet until you get the hang of it.
