The Skinny Jean.

Only a certain build of guy can pull off the skinny jean. On me, personally, it is the most flattering. On guys that can pull it off, it is the most flattering. A good pair of skinny jeans can show off your best assets. 

When looking for a skinny jean, you don' want to get them too tight. You want to get them so that if pulled away from the leg, there is at least 1 inch of space between the fabric and the leg. A dark wash is a must in your jean collection, because you can wear them with anything. A dark skinny is especially nice, because you can wear them either casual or dressy. A black skinny is also nice for dressy, but when wearing a black skinny for more formal events, you might choose to get the ones with a bit of a shimmer in them. A light wash skinny looks really good for every day casual wear. Just shopping, or going about town.

For a nice casual-dress outfit, a plain white V-neck T, with a slim fit grey blazer over top and dark wash jeans is a good look.

I personally find that H&M's makes the best fit for a skinny jean, but you can't order them online.

The Plaid Shirt.

This spring/summer, the plaid shirt is a must for any guys wardrobe. It gives you that "relaxed/casual-cool" look. You can pair them with dark jeans, light-washed jeans, and dark shorts. One thing to avoid while wearing a plaid shirt, is to wear a wife-beater underneath, because it will give you more of a "hick" look. 

To accessorize with a plaid shirt, you don't need much. You can either wear a plain white T (preferably v-neck, unless you don't have the chest to pull it off), or no shirt underneath. Try to avoid wearing any sort of necklace, but a leather bracelet would accent just right. For shoes, it would be good to go with a casual sneaker. Other accessories that would go well would be dark shades, and a fedora, depending on the make.
