With the winter chill finally coming to an end, it’s time to start looking ahead to spring and what men will be wearing. David Shockley, president of Savile Row Custom Clothiers (8101 Maryland, 314-721-7848) in Clayton and creator of The Wardrobe Management Solution, has assembled his five top looks for men this spring based on last fall’s collections. Savile Row, which was founded by Shockley, is now celebrating it’s 30th year as a leading destination for men and women with discerning taste and style.
”I think spring 2015 will be remembered for bright blazer and sportcoat patterns,” Shockley explains. “Gone are the basic blues and blacks of previous seasons. This spring is notable for its bright colors and patterns—a breath of fresh air for men.”

Here are Shockley’s five favorite looks for Spring 2015:
1. Men’s suits with two buttons in leaner and shorter styles for jackets and sportcoats.
2. Flat-front trousers for both suits and casual styles with no cuffs.
3. The return of the three-piece suit
4. Linen jackets, suits and trousers
5. For more formal looks, navy and burgundy tuxedos are still strong, particularly with one button and peaked lapels.
