The American man has been taught that he can wear denim anywhere, so long as said jeans are dark, unadorned, and named things like the “New Standard.” No offense to anyone who designs jeans but you probably have your going-out jeans already. This spring, add a medium-blue pair to your arsenal, to wear on Friday or Saturday. Repeat until they get even lighter, nearly disintegrating. They’ll be soft — just like the suede shoes, washed cotton shirts, and tees you’ll want to wear all season with them.

Spring 2012 looks are also about comfort and what’s ,ore comfortable than a pair of your favorite jeans.  We always check the weather when thinking about getting dressed and looking good because being comfortable means more than just one thing.  Many contributing factors make up the work “comfort” and weather is right near the top.

Shoes and boots can be worn in spring and summer but mainly shoes and sandals for hot weather.  (To be honest, I’m not a sandals wearer because I don’t like my feet and if I don’t like them I don’t anyone else wants to look at them.  Unless I’m boating or at the beach, I leave my sandals at home.)
