I’ll admit it: summer is my favorite time to get dressed because it’s just so dang easy. Sandals and a swimsuit? Done and done.
So while I may already be looking ahead to pool season, I do love men’s style in the spring. Seeing guys shake off those winter coats and boots in favor of camp shirts and lightweight pants rolled just so at the ankle? Mmm yeah.
If you’re ready to update the men’s clothing, shoes, and accessories in your closet but don’t know where to start, have no fear. Style Girlfriend’s 2025 affordable men’s spring clothes capsule wardrobe is here.
It’s got everything you need to put together a slew of stylish outfit combos perfect for the season.
What is a capsule wardrobe?
Basically, a capsule wardrobe is made up of tightly-curated, super-versatile pieces that you can easily mix and match. While every guy can put together a capsule wardrobe for himself that reflects his unique personal style, sometimes it’s nice to have a jumping off point for reference.
So, keep scrolling to make spring a little sweeter, and getting dressed for it a whole lot easier.
