Great news for those who appreciate a well-dressed man – menswear is here!   We are going to be highlighting men’s clothing more regularly on Florence & Millie, and we’re excited to start off on a very bright note.

Color is the story for spring and summer 2012!  Menswear has taken an uncharacteristically bold turn this season with vibrant hues for shorts, sweaters, jackets, tees, and khakis.

 The British mainstay Burberry featured quite a bit of color in contrast to their usual, neutral palette.

Gucci took color in a nautical direction this season.  Red, white, blue, cream, and muted orange appear in solids and stripes for that easy, yacht-club feel.

Now, we love all the clothes these top designers produce, but Florence & Millie is about everyday inspiration.  The great news is that color has saturated almost every designer’s collection and made this look accessible for all.

J. Crew’s collection brightens up this season for all of us with their exciting hues and smart stripes.

We always love Gap, but these colored khaki’s are outstanding!

Seeing all of these colors may thrill you…or intimidate you.  If you fall into the latter category, we encourage you to at least give these hues a chance whether you are a man who cares about his clothing or you care about a man who wears clothing.  Remember that what you wear should be comfortable and fun!  Consider this season an opportunity to finger-paint with your wardrobe.  Relax.  Be daring.  Mix colors.  Have fun!
