Blue and white stripes, as well as low-cut tees, are hot this spring, but you have to rock it right! Both of these gentlemen are thin, so the stripes add some necessary bulk. Do not attempt to go horizontal if you are wide-set, as it will only make you appear bigger.

Outfit 1: This outfit is simple and just warm enough for spring. A soft gray cardigan with just a bit of detailing allows the striped shirt to pop in contrast. Complimenting cuts are also really important here, as with a low-cut shirt, it’s especially necessary to make sure each of your layers acts as an echo.

Outfit 2: This gentleman adds a bit of bulk to his look by rolling up his sleeves and adding a rich blue scarf, tied to compliment the neckline of his tee. Complimenting colors/textures in his hat and glasses bring this look together for a warm spring day.
