MEN'S PRINTS PACK A PUNCH

Prints are a huge trend for this season.  Gentlemen, look for bold large prints in shirts.  The larger the more capturing!  Geographic and paisley are two styles that stand out.  Large prints work best for casual wear or a night on the town vs. the office.  Small prints work best for more corporate environments.  Printed button down shirts and short sleeve shirts are a great option to start.  Tried printed ties and pocket squares for the office.  If you are bolder, work in more than one print in the same color family.

Spring colors are key when picking your prints so look at what is trending.  Black & white, greens & blues, coral & navy, and white mixed with any bright color.
