The Spring / Summer 2015 Menswear Essentials
Spring is officially in full swing and now that the heavy winter coats have made their way into our storage units, it’s time to shift focus on the spring/ summer essentials that will get us through the warmer months. Lightweight, color-filled pieces should be at the top of every guy’s shopping list this month, and below we have highlighted a few of our favorites from New York City-based menswear labels, Thaddeus O’Neil (www.ThaddeusONeil.com), Number 288 (www.Number288.com), and N.P. Elliott (www.NPElliott.com).

NUMBER 288
Spring/Summer 2015 Collection Starting at $350
There is something about getting a fresh pair of shoes for spring that is so exciting and semi-ceremonious. Whether it’s the fact that we can finally throw away our old, snow-beaten shoes or the fact that the sun is finally shining, there is no denying that a fresh pair of kicks makes all the difference in really feeling like a new season has come. New York-based men’s footwear design studio, Number 288 (www.Number288.com) respects the traditional methods of footwear construction but adds unique, modern details to its superbly constructed collections. The Spring 2015 collection offers fresh hues of light grey, mustard, and off-white in addition to the brand’s signature white, navy and black core colors, and introduces new textures like suede, nubuck and pony into the mix. Offering a perfect mix of casual shoes for everyday wear and more fashion-forward ones with unexpected detailing, there is a must-have style for every item on your spring/summer agenda. The sleek black pony-haired Houston slip-ons ($580) are a great shoe for work and more formal functions, while the grey unlined leather Mulberry high-tops ($476) make for the perfect weekend wear. For the more daring sneaker-lover, the Mott in “lion†suede ($479) are the ideal head-turning sneaker, featuring asymmetrical laces that your fellow sneaker addicts will be dying to get their hands on.
