Spring Fashion Trends 2009: Men's Office Wear

Alexandra Romanov
Office Wear for men in Spring of 2009 is going to be brighter, bolder and fresher than ever before. Expect to find more blues and fewer grays in suits. Look for more color in shirts and ties.

The hottest trends are already rumored to be out and you don't want to be the last guy in the cubicle to be spotted wearing the latest must have attire!

1-Suits

No more gray on gray. Expect more blues and black is of course here to stay. The big change will be seen in tailoring. We are looking for suits with more of a full cut and away from that skinny suit that made normal sized men look fat and skinny men look anorexic. These suits will focus on real men and be designed for comfort as well as style. Hounds tooth, herringbone and pinstripes will be big.

Look for a roomier cut and contrast your suit color with your tie. If the suit is navy blue go with a bright bold tie. Even the boardroom will be sporting them. Perry Ellis has some great looking ties that will show your attention to detail without breaking the bank. Try the copper dot tie a good all around tie that goes with almost everything

2-Shirts

The big trend this season is going to be in colorful shirts. A black suit is great but you are no longer expected to just wear a white shirt with it. Consider any of a wide array of dress shirt colors and styles this season. One to try is the Imperial 100's Traditional Straight Collar Dress Shirt in purple . That will get their attention!

3-Tie Tacks

This is one of those small items that shows attention to detail and that you are more than just a stuffed shirt. There are a number of styles available so there is sure to be one that shows who you really are. For the Spring 2009 season, the Tie Bar is the hottest is this area. One great tie bar to get is the Tiger's Eye Tie Bar . It looks sharp and shows that you are a man with an adventurous side.

4-Dress Pants

Not to be confused with Suit pants or even jeans (It has happened), dress pants are suitable for the office and tend to be aimed a bit more for comfort. Not so this season! In Spring of 2009 look for dress pants that are as stylish as they are comfortable. Keep the colors neutral, you don't want to overwhelm the rest of your look. Cotton/Cashmere Flat Front Trousers from Paul Frederick would be a great addition to your wardrobe.

5-Jackets

This is going to be the season of the dress casual suit jacket. Think of Miami Vice without the pastels and you have the idea. These will be perfect for casual Fridays and staff meetings. Fly Front Microfiber Sportcoat would be perfect. Don't forget the bold tie and you are ready to take over the world!
