Spring 2007 Trend Highlight: The Relaxed “Eco” Look

Guys who love a relaxed, comfortable spring outfit are in luck for spring. Relaxed, loose shorts and comfortable, rugby-styled shirts are very in this year. Go sporty, but don’t forget about the environment! The best look this spring combines a sporty appeal with natural fabrics like linen, cotton and wooden bead bracelets.

The Shirt
The New Organic line by John Patrick combines sophisticated lines with organic cotton and lightweight wool. Pieces have a natural flow and a relaxed, almost tennis-like appeal. (www.johnpatrickorganic.com)

The Trousers
Try a linen pair of trousers, and if you’re feeling daring, go for a waistcoat as well. Wear your trousers lean but generous. Rag and Bone have some very hip versions of drawstring trousers, or you can wear a pair of spring trousers from Gilded Age. (www.rag-bone.com) (www.gildedage.net)

The Shoes
These earthy shoes are down-to-earth for spring, but you can get them from Gucci for complete style, excellent quality, and total comfort. Can you get any crunchier? (www.gucci.com)
