Guys, spring is right around the corner. Is your wardrobe ready?
Jeans
If you’re anything like me, a winter of slogging through snow-filled streets has left the backs of your pants more than a little salt-stained. Why not trade in your winterized bottoms for some new pairs in fun colors? Spring is a time to get creative with your colors – teal jeans, even grey khakis. And of course, a new pair of dark denim to round out the well-equipped college guy’s closet.

From a huge campus or tiny commuter campus you’re going to be doing at least some walking. You certainly don’t want to walk in shoes that are uncomfortable and make it unbearable to walk. Try some Converse kicks? Yeah, so cliche you say? But these ‘Jack Purcell’ sneakers are affordable and ever so perfect.
