The men’s shows rage on in Milan and Paris, where the hottest designers are showing what the most stylish dudes with wear in the spring of 2013.

1. Upgrade your plain white shirt and hike up your pants.

Floral prints pair well with a wistful, dewy summer skin. Basically just make yourself look like you’ve been crying all day.

2. Shrink polo shirts in the dryer.

8. Allow your beer to inspire your outerwear.

Moschino tiled Budweiser labels, replacing “Budweiser” with “Moschino.”

(WARNING: if you want to attract a love interest it’s not advisable that you are seen playing beer pong in this. You don’t want to look like that big of a beer freak.)

24. Apron pockets jazz up a blue shorts suit.
