Ah, spring break; the legendary vacation that defines our college career. For many of us, it’s the best holiday of the year, a much-needed escape from class, work, winter, and responsibility. Yes, spring break demands rowdy, carefree times while also providing chances to impress a whole new slew of ladies. To achieve this, however, we must have the skills -- and the style -- to differentiate ourselves from the other spring break knuckleheads. Spring break is perfect for tossing aside that too-casual frat-boy image for a more polished, reliable style. So, this year, as the good times get underway, improve your success rate with these must-pack spring break fashions.
Solid Ts
It may sound annoyingly simple, but the first step in demonstrating a chic spring break fashion sense is to anchor it with solid-colored T-shirts. While the meatheads will no doubt sport novelty T-shirts, you can easily establish a classically stylish appearance with plain T-shirts. And though it may sound bland, look at the handsome versatility found in J. Crew’s Broken-In Tee. Available in multiple colors (though white is a stellar choice), this T-shirt enjoys an unassumingly dapper appeal. Its vintage cut and tailored fit make it perfect for the beach or the bar. You can count on the modish minimalism of this garment to make a bold yet refined impression.
Polo shirt
Ladies like a guy with an eye for style and a commitment to quality. That’s why raggedy Ts and faded shirts aren’t going to do the trick for your spring break fashion; a status polo, however, will. Going with a classic (albeit preppy) polo shirt with an instantly recognizable logo is a surefire strategy for exuding confidence and capability. Choose something like this always-stylish vintage pique polo from Lacoste. Besides its popular reputation and accomplished lineage, this snappish polo creates a sharp, collegiate look that’s a bit more affluent. With its refined styling, Lacoste’s shirt manages to keep tradition alive, along with high class and signature appeal.
Chino shorts
Cargo shorts show up by the boatload on spring break, but guys on top of their game will opt for a sophisticated spring break fashion alternative: chino shorts. Leaving the bulk of cargo shorts behind, chino shorts provide a pared-down look that’s crisp and neat; they set up a more cultured, street-wise style -- especially a pair like these from Volcom. These hipster shorts give a simple silhouette with their straightforward design, which lends itself to a sleek style. Also, the longer inseam provides a modern touch in keeping with existing trends. All in all, these shorts work ideally for either a night out at the club or a more formal affair, such as a nice date, should the need arise.
Swim trunks
Since the cornerstone of your spring break fashion will be your swim trunks, it goes without question that obtaining a new great-fitting pair will be a monumental investment. You'll want to find swim trunks that are complementary and current. (Sun-faded fabric and busy prints are neither, by the way.) The best pair is along the lines of these Victorinox Swiss Army Packable Swim Trunks. Not only is the drawstring waist the way to go (elastic can cut into the waistline and create a belly, regardless if you have one or not), but the subtle detailing is also flattering and modish. Trunks like these are a sensible, stylish option for a day at the beach.
Canvas slip-ons
Sure, sneakers seem like the obvious spring break fashion choice, but while enjoying your time away, you should always pack shoes that are fashionable and practical. That’s why a pair of canvas slip-ons can create a fresh look. A throwback to a decade gone by, canvas slip-ons, just like this traditional model from Vans, offer a style that’s urban and relaxed. There’s a very nonchalant sophistication to these kicks, especially in the simpler color options. In fact, the very nature of these easygoing shoes invokes everything spring break fashion should be about: casual coolness and souped-up style.
surf’s up
For the young (or young at heart), spring break is a glorious time: sand, sun and total reprieve from mundane responsibilities. It’s your chance to get away and enjoy some untroubled living. It’s also our chance to mix and mingle with some fresh new prospects. So, delineation is key: Prove you’re not the typical frat boy partying during spring break by packing some of these simplistically chic and sharply refined options.
