Spring is almost around the corner and it may be time to upgrade your blazer collection. British designer, Paul Smith, recently released his spring collection of cotton and linen blazer via the Neiman Marcus Men’s Shop (at the King of Prussia Mall). Working with Neiman Marcus in the King of Prussia Mall, I had the opportunity to style a few looks with these Paul Smith blazers for a bit of spring inspiration.
When the temperature starts to heat up outside and you want to find a blazer that will keep you cool, these blazers are a great option. All of the blazers in this collection are quarter-lined, which will easily keep you from over heating. The fits are well-tailored and are cropped just a bit shorter than your standard blazer for a modern feel. Also, Paul Smith has released some great short-sleeved button up shirts that pair well with his new collection of blazers.
Tips to styling your Paul Smith Blazers –
- Pair your blazers with denim, shorts and dress pants (example below)
- Don’t be afraid to push the sleeves up
- Use the bold color blazer to amp up your usual spring style (example below)
- Mix patterns. Mix your shadow-plaid blazer with gingham shirt (example below)
- Add a pocket square (example below)
- Pair these blazers with short-sleeved, long-sleeved and t-shirts
- Don’t take your looks so serious. Remember they are just clothes. Have some fun with your style.
