If this past year has shown us anything, it’s that we must be open to change and pliable. Menswear often follows these same guidelines, challenging men who are stuck in a rut of black suits and denim jeans to evolve a little. So, guys, let’s be bold — bring up that pant hem or swap a classic button-down for a simple white tee. And please toss outdated cargo shorts for these sophisticated ones. Remember, you shouldn’t hide under clothes. Instead, let your wardrobe showcase your personality.
