What The Hell Do I Wear In May?

Cut for a relaxed fit and styled with elastics and a drawstring at waist, these wool-rich trews are an essential wear-everywhere-all-the-time pair. If you're not too keen on this season's wide legs, these are just a smidge wider than a straight. Perfection.

Contemporary brands like Cherry Los Angeles have helped usher in a new era of Americana, and you'll find this exemplary piece exclusively at MR PORTER. Playing on racing styles, this jacket is made from high-pile fleece with tonal shell panels - a cosy compadre to a sweatshirt and jeans now the weather's back above 0.

Stripes are in for menswear this spring, you know. What a joyfully simple way to stay on the beat - yet this polo sweater gives a well trodden trend an satisfying refresh. Just add cream denim.

Another day, another must-have sneaker from Adidas. Will we ever get bored of its rainbow offering? Unlikely. If you're keen to stay clear of Sambas, the Handball Spezial will do nicely.

A hoodie, but make it feel elevated. The rich chocolately brown on this Uniqlo pullover looks smarter than your average sweater. Style under trench coats and tailoring.

Fleece isn’t just for countryside hikes anymore—it’s a full-blown menswear essential this spring, blending comfort with off-duty cool. JW Anderson’s Poplin and Fleece Track Jacket is a perfect example, mixing technical edge with laid-back ease. Style it with relaxed tailoring for a high-low contrast, or layer over a crisp white tee and wide-leg trousers for an effortlessly modern look.

This is a fresh take on a classic, swapping the usual stiff, raw denim for a more relaxed, lived-in feel. It’s the perfect transitional layer—light enough for spring but still structured enough to pull a look together.

Your jeans are likely one of the hardest working items in your wardrobe, none so much as the straight leg. As a cut, they're about as versatile as it gets and they happen to the de-rigueur silhouette of the moment. We're particularly font of the blue-collar workwear details of this Carhartt WP pair.

Lovely, light, and doesn't require a second thought on how to style. Add this textured striped sweater to to your repertoire, stat.

It doesn’t feel like that long ago, in the grand scheme of things, that we really had to do the hard sell when it came to the cardigan. How times change - this Sefr brushed mohair (in this season's trending pastel, no less) practically sells itself.

Days like these were made for effortless jackets like these. Add a pair of workwear inspired jeans and you'll have really mastered this season's laidback utility fit.

Bloody hell, Marks, this is rather good. This smart double-breasted trench coat in an alternative khaki green is crafted from a blend of super-soft Lyocell and breathable cotton for a luxurious feel that looks far more pricey than the tag. The perfect graduation from the winter woolens.

A pop of tomato is never going to go amiss in a typically grey month like Feb. But don't feel restricted to casual styling - this will look fantastic with grey tailored trousers.

Speaking on which, these are a bargain. Wide legs really are going nowhere so why not give them a whirl for under £40 - you might just surprise yourself at how good they look.

The best t-shirts in the biz, without a shadow of a doubt. Wicking away sweat on a hot day and feeling nice and heavy on a cold one, these Uniqlo tees are where it's at.

Created in collaboration with photographer Chris Perani, COS has come out with an edit inspired by the extraordinary beauty of the natural world in intricate detail and vibrant colour. Cut in a relaxed shape, this jumper is knitted from soft cotton, alpaca and wool yarn and gives a different kind of energy that's ideal for spring.

We all need some posh joggers in our line-up and these Reiss ones are crafted from a soft merino wool blend with a hint of stretch for added comfort. Ribbed cuffs create a tapered leg that looks far fancier than the sport ones you doss around in.

It's still freezing, and leaving your house without a scarf is sacrilege. Don't let the cold keep your style down though, invest in a designer accessory you're proud of like this ultra-cosy Jacquemus alpaca-blend scarf.

Is it a trainer? Is it a loafer? Ooh baby, it's both. This unique shoe updates the traditional New Balance 1906 with a loafer-like, slip-on design and obviously it's perfect for anyone who struggles to step out of their sneakers.
