With spring right around the corner, let’s take a look at how to manage the transition with a business casual look.
Spring is the time to transition your outerwear. Time to put away the heavy wools and break out the lightweight stuff. A classic burberry trench is one of my spring go-to’s whether for business, casual Friday, or a dapper weekend.

Never forget the power and versatility of that most essential of wardrobe essentials, slim dark denim. Like your other in-between dress pant, dark denim easily styles up with a blazer, while a knit tie helps keep it dressed up without an overabundance of formality.
Speaking of keeping ‘casual’ in business casual, nothing helps set the tone of a look than the briefcase you carry. A Filson briefcase is the perfect mix of smart, rugged and casual.
Discussions of whether J.Crew is going to kill classic menswear aside, they’ve really stepped up their denim game recently. I’ve been meaning to replace my A.P.C.s, which have really given their all for the past five years, and J.Crew’s new raw selvedge 484 fit reminds me a lot of them – minus needing to get them tailored beyond a hem.
Once the heat arrives, I know I won’t be wearing my Daltons much until next fall. That’s why I’m trying to get the most out of them right now.
Thanks for reading.
Stylishly Yours,
