Here's the theme in men's fashion this spring: what's old is new again. Hot looks inspired by the past include varsity jackets from the '50s and button-down shirts straight out of the '70s. Update your wardrobe with Cheapism.com's thrifty, fashionable finds.
Patterned shirts are a must-have item this year. Whether inspired by psychedelic swirls or a geometric motif, this shirt works on the weekend or at a casual office. Look designer for less with Gap's version, the 1969 Indigo Rose Print Shirt. (Though it lists for $54.95, it's 30 percent off at time of writing.) Alternatively, you can always browse the racks at your local thrift store for a truly vintage find.
From light coats to floppy hats, getting the retro suede look doesn't have to cost a fortune. These cool blue imitation suede shoes from H and M ($39.95) look just like the real thing. And thanks to the low price, stepping in a puddle won't induce a panic attack.
Though they have never really been banished from most men's wardrobes, khaki pants are having another fashion moment. Pick up a pair from Uniqlo for $39.90. The wash makes them look like a more expensive pair that you've worn for years.
Lighten up by adding some white to your wardrobe. While only the most daring dudes will wear white head to toe, you can still follow the trend with a lightweight white sweater. Uniqlo's linen-blend version is $39.99.
Patches are in, and we're not talking about the kind that grows on your chin. Get the look with this denim shirt from H and M for $29.95.
Exposed toes aren't just for the ladies. Payless Shoes offers comfortable leather slides for less with the Sahara Slide ($29.99).
From the ballpark to the game room, baseball-inspired tees keep you cool and comfortable. This color-block three-quarter sleeve tee from Old Navy is right on trend and a steal at $9.50.
The silhouette for shorts this spring is long and baggy, so get ready to let loose. This pair from Mango with a cool contrast trim is 50 percent off ($29.99).
Get a taste of the '50s with a varsity jacket, this spring's outerwear essential. You could spend big bucks for a leather version, or you can get the look with this knit varsity jacket from Target for $39.99.
A cross between sweat pants and skinny jeans, with a little bit on '90s skate punk attitude thrown in, jogger pants are hot this year. Prices on this men's item are all over the map. Gap has a good deal on them for $25.
