Hawaii men are no strangers to flower power. Given our long love affair with the aloha shirt, spring’s biggest trend for men comes naturally with printed shirts worn alone or under a jacket while others try to play catch-up with color and florals in menswear and accessories.

Beyond florals and prints, here are more spring/summer 2014 highlights for men:

»The color blue: From baby blue to navy, this nonthreatening, easy-to-wear hue is a staple, whether you’re a denim lover or need an accent color to pair with basic black or white.

»The new jacket: Aspirational dressing means more gents are donning jackets for a tailored, finished look, but who wants to look like dad? The new jackets are slouchier and less structured than in the past.

» Contrasts: Mix hard-edged pieces with softer ones whether playing with bold prints or muted solids or a strong jacket with a soft sweater.

»Sportswear influence: Hawaii also takes the lead in men unafraid to show their legs. That’s a good thing as Bermuda shorts are emerging as a fashionable option for warm-weather dressing.

»Footwear: Let your toes breathe with canvas sandals and espadrilles.Also check out gladiator-style sandals and shoes made with perforated leather and other materials.
