The updated blazer has soft shoulders, narrow lapels and three buttons. A perfect example is the new, wrinkle-free BrooksAire Blazer from Brooks Brothers. Even more trendy is an unlined, four-button blazer with a shirt collar from Structure. For a more casual look, knee-length khaki shorts are the thing. Pink and lavender are the hot colors for oxford shirts this season.
Polo styles come traditional and boxy, or trendy and fitted.
Rugbys sport wide stripes in brilliant colors such as sky blue and orange. The classic is the webbed canvas belt adorned with a preppy motif such as ducks, hunting dogs or whales. But the striped, grosgrain-ribbon belt has more zip. Popular color combinations include tan with red or green, and black or navy with white. No need to update here.
