1. A simple henley shirt you can use as the foundation of your spring layering strategy. Snag a couple of these in the short-sleeve version, too, for when it's realllllllly hot out. The button detail at the neck makes it a nice step up from a boring ol' tee.
2. A pair of drawstring shorts that'll give ya the comfort of gym shorts while still looking like you put in at least some effort.
3. A pair of athletic-fit chinos if you've always struggled to find a pant that'll comfortably fit your thighs while still looking clean and tailored. And at this price, you can get a pair for every day of the week.
4. A khaki denim chore jacket guaranteed to earn you an endless stream of compliments, no matter the season.
5. A short-sleeve button-down so good, even your doggo will give ya some love for it.
6. A pair of lightweight linen-blend joggers that'll keep you ~cool~ while lookin' even *cooler*. Pair these with your go-to short-sleeve button-downs and graphic tees in warm weather, OR an oversized hoodie when the temps start to dip.
7. A water-repellent rain jacket, because spring thunderstorms are no joke — especially now that you're commuting to the office again.
8. Or, a Carhartt rain jacket if you realllllllly need to keep dry during those spring showers. This is lightweight since it's no longer freezing but will still keep you from aggravating that dang cold you're still getting over.
9. A pair of khaki shorts with a soft, broken-in feel that'll have you feeling just as good as you look.
10. A linen-cotton camp shirt sure to become a fixture in your spring and summer rotation. It looks great with everything from jorts to nice khakis, and can even be layered with a sweater or denim jacket on days you need some extra warmth.
11. A lightweight cardigan *almost* as fly as your grandpa's. Even Taylor Swift would agree that cardigans are the most slept-on menswear layer for spring!!
12. A short-sleeve button-down shirt if you've been wanting to get outside of your comfort zone when it comes to patterns and colors. This one is fun and laid back without being *too* loud — and will easily pair with all the other basics in your wardrobe.
13. A pair of gym shorts that are equally great for lounging around in as much as they are for actually working out in.
14. And some athletic shirts, because why not upgrade your entire workout wardrobe while you're at it?
15. A classic zip-up hoodie you'll be reaching for day after day. It'll keep you warm and add a touch of color to your new spring wardrobe.
16. A quarter-zip sweater made in a mid-weight cotton blend that'll keep you warm throughout the day *without* overheating (at least until summer really kicks in). And you can def pull this out again in the fall again so it'll get all the wear it desperately requires.
17. A full-zip fleece vest that somehow perfectly represents the undecided, unpredictable months of March through June.
18. A lightweight bomber jacket to easily polish off any of your looks — everything from a button-down and chinos to sweatpants and sneakers.
19. A fleece sweatshirt so soft and comfy, the people in your house will probs start stealing it when you're not around.
20. A packable puffer jacket you can fold into a little carrying bag which makes dressing for the weather easier than ever — no matter how drastically it fluctuates throughout the day.
Promising review: "This is the warmest jacket you could wear that is also super light. I've walked around in 30-40 degree weather with only a button down shirt underneath and it felt comfortably warm...The hood is also super comfortable. Packing it into the provided bag can take some getting used to but that doesn't happen everyday so not a big issue. Pockets are comfortable, both the interior and exterior ones. Easy to clean and quick to dry after as well." —Joshua Ortiz
Get it from Amazon for $43.54+ (available in S–XXL and 19 colors).
21. A reviewer-beloved garment-dyed T-shirt that will, hands down, be the comfiest thing you've ever slipped over your shoulders. Fair warning: you're gonna want to cop one in every color (there's 18).
22. A Carhartt pocket T-shirt to round out the workwear-inspired wardrobe you've been curating over the past few months.
Promising review: "These shirts are perfect! Great quality for a great price and are also shipped well. I’ve bought several of these and will continue to buy more. They also are very durable and last for a long time. Great working shirts or just nice T-shirts." —Kristenw329
Get one from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 40 colors).
23. A Levi's denim trucker jacket for those days when you wanna wear a graphic tee, but it's just a little too chilly out to bare your arms. Plus you can layer it up with a zip-up hoodie when you're feeling that look.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this jacket. It’s my second one. Good for mild days and on cold days, you can add a sweater. Sleeves roll up nice. Inside pockets are to die for, you can store so many sweet items in inside pockets. Man....this jacket sets the bar for light weight rugged jackets. I’m about 5’8 160 super average size dude and large fits perfect." —Amber
Get it from Amazon for $44.17+ (available in sizes XS–6XL, including big and tall sizes, and 42 colors/washes).
24. A lightweight blazer you can rock with a T-shirt for all those casual summer weddings you have coming up, and then layer with a sweater or button-down this fall. Versatility is the name of the game, people.
25. And a mid-weight crewneck sweater that'll keep you warm and stylish on crisp spring mornings or chilly summer nights — minimal effort required.
Promising review: "My fiancé bought this sweater to wear to our engagement party. It fit him perfectly! Great looking sweater for the price. I did have to wash it with a little extra fabric conditioner because it felt a bit scratchy coming right out of the package, but after that it was great." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.18+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 12 patterns/colors).
