MH Style Gains: The Best New Menswear Releases This April

MLB season is in full swing, and P.F. Flyers dropped one of our favorite baseball-themed collections. After all, the Massachusetts-based brand has roots in the dugout, and first gained steam as a go-to for baseball players in the ’50s. Its new Home and Away line taps into that heritage. The sneaker‘s navy canvas and off-white rubber channel retro baseball vibes, and is updated with a moisture-wicking insole to keep your dogs comfortable and dry for hours. Wear it with jeans, joggers, or your team’s jersey. This comfortable shoe plays ball with all your casual fits.

This isn’t your mom’s Uggs. Designer Reese Cooper retools the brand’s marquee mini boot with weatherproof suede and outdoor details that work for any adventure. The pull tab and grippy sole make it easy to slip on when you’re racing out the door. It’s ideal for April’s in between weather—warm enough for chilly mornings, but still cool enough for spring afternoon.

This rain coat delivers structure without stiffness. Its rayon-nylon blend has a smooth, breathable feel with an elegant drape to polish your office fits. We love the oversized cut, while thoughtful details like a button-fastening collar and subtle pocket stitching add extra style points. Pair it with jeans and a casual button-up for a foolproof after hours fit.

April weather is a coin toss, but Buck Mason’s jacket can handle it all. We love its vintage military vibe that’s as tough as it looks. That’s because it’s built with a water-repellent shell for those cool, drizzly days. Throw it on over your favorite T-shirt and you’re good to go.

Spring means peak marathon training, and Alo dropped a new activewear line in a race-ready hue to celebrate the season. Our favorite from the collection is this short, which is built to move. The five-inch inseam lets our legs breathe, the fabric dries quickly, and it has a nifty zip pocket to carry your keys.

Madras, for spring? Groundbreaking, but this one from Flint & Tinder makes it feel new. It’s softer than similar shirts we’ve tested, and is easy to wear straight from the dryer. The contrasting blues are grounded, not loud. Wear this with jeans or shorts, and is perfect to throw on when the weather breaks.

Old-school looks, new-school durability. This reissue still has the same sporty look first worn by John F. Kennedy Jr., replete with a rubber stamp, and a bold face. Plus, it’s water-resistant, easy to read, and purpose built to take a licking. Your Apple Watch wishes it could do that.

You don’t have to play golf to wear this polo. The knit gives it structure without bulk, and the argyle pattern is head-turning, but not extra. We’ve worn it at the country club and found it’s breathable, and pairs well with golf pants or jeans. Plus, it looks great on and off the fairway.

New Balance just dropped a casual runner, and it’s already earned a spot in my sneaker rotation. It’s got a breathable mesh upper, and adequately cushioned insole that keeps my geriatric millennial feet comfortable. Plus the grippy outsole can handle long days. It looks like something my gym teacher wore in 2003 (compliment), and performs like something your trainer would wear now.

Todd Snyder makes some of the best knit polo shirts in the game, but I’d argue its T-shirts are just as sharp. Take this Tee, which has a a ribbed design that has some heft, which makes it drape better than a regular cotton tee. The bisque tone looks crisp under a bomber jacker, but still looks dressy enough to wear on its own.

Carl Friedrik has become one of my favorite luggage brands, and its new briefcase collection is just as impressive. The leather is rich and smooth, but not flashy, and the clean silhouette feels fresher than other stuffy work bags. It’s been my go-to briefcase for my new RTO life.

Like we said, April is running season, and this tee is built for it. It’s lightweight and moisture-wicking, yes, but this being Tracksmith, it’s incredibly stylish. I love the collegiate-inspired design, with pipping across the neckline and arms, and looks sharp post-run. I’ve worn this on spring days when I’m going straight from workout to brunch.

Longer days mean you need shades that can pull your whole look together. Enter this clean pair from Garrett Leight. It’s a bit bigger than the OG Ace (great for guys with wider faces like mine), and has a subtle keyhold bridge and thicker arms that feel solid (and expensive!), but not bulky. The lenses cut glare without going full blackout, and the classic style will look great for years to come.

If you want a light but statement-making piece, Krost’s jacket is your guy. It’s got a pastel texture that’s seasonably appropriate and a relaxed cut that’s on trend. I’ve worn this over a white-shirt and twill pants to the office, and have never received more compliments. It’s a bold topper for transitional days.

Bonobos’ new golf collection features fairway pants you can wear even if you don’t play. These look like chinos (great for the office), but move like joggers for a full swing, or a full commute. They’re moisture-wicking and light, making them perfect for April’s unpredictable temps.

After testing On’s entire sneaker line for the past year, our fitness editors landed on the Cloud X4 as the brand’s best walking shoe, which has a lightweight but ample cushioning, and doubles as a great cross-training shoe. On’s AD version upgrades the OG model with a more breathable upper and colorways that look fresh, just like spring.

This is the layer you want for those cold April showers. Arcteryx upgraded its marquee hoodie with a lighter synthetic shell that doesn’t sacrifice on durability, so you can easily throw this on if you get caught in gnarly weather.

Big pants are back, but some make you look like a clown. Not this one from Alex Mill. It’s relaxed but still tailored, so it’s sharp without trying too hard. The pleats and herringbone weave give it polish, while the linen keeps it breathable for warm spring afternoons. This is part of my spring office uniform, and also works great for a weekend dinner.

The king of red-bottomed shoes just dropped an equally slick line of sunglasses. Our favorite: The Georges, which makes its stylish point with sculpted acetate, smoky lenses, and just a hit of red on the inner arm. This will instantly upgrade whatever you’re wearing, whether it’s a white tee or a linen suit.
