Welcoming a new season can be as much of a relief stylistically as it is physically and mentally. Sure, that’s a rather deep note on which to start today’s guide to some of the best new spring menswear, but it’s about new beginnings and yes, a wardrobe refresh.
And at least right now, in early March — when temperatures can still prove frigid — your new spring wardrobe might still have a few things in common with your wardrobe from the past few months. Take the new Taylor Stitch Coast to Country Collection, for example. It’s a nod to a new season, but the building blocks will look familiar, pleasingly rugged and yes, still built for cold-to-transitional weather.
A particular highlight of the Taylor Stitch Coast to Country Collection? Pieces like the Taylor Stitch Bedford Sweater, which look somewhat similar to styles you’d find in a winter menswear rotation, but with a fresh coat of paint — so to speak — for spring. 100 percent BCI cotton (the good stuff, for those keeping score at home) gets both a garment-dye and garment-wash treatment in a rich Indigo color, giving it pleasantly vintage quality and patina.

The Taylor Stitch Bedford Sweater also boasts familiar geometric yet almost cable-knit-esque stitching — and that detailing runs horizontal, rather than vertically as with other fisherman sweaters. This sweater still shares plenty of DNA with the best fisherman sweaters however, so chalk up another “W” for Taylor Stitch when it comes to retro-meets-modern style inspiration.
The Taylor Stitch Bedford Sweater is a bold, pleasingly rugged sweater made for quiet moments — a warm coffee on a brisk spring morning, or a stroll through a wooded forest wearing your favorite waxed trucker jacket come to mind.

The brand’s chinos are an expert pairing, but your favorite pair of worn-in light wash jeans might also pair nicely with the Taylor Stitch Bedford Sweater, and it doesn’t hurt that this sweater isn’t so bulky that a classic Oxford shirt won’t fit nicely underneath it. However you choose to wear it, let the Taylor Stitch Bedford Sweater be your introduction to a lighter, more easygoing way of spring dressing.
