When we think of fashion we often think of it in terms of the seasons they are appropriate. While a pair of flattering shorts is perfection for summer, it looks completely out of place in winter and reflects the wearer as out of touch, if not worse. Similarly, a big bulky winter coat is necessary for icy cold days, but as the warmer days of spring approach, it's just not as practical.
Colors
Dark hues and shades of black fit right in with the dark days of winter. Of course, most men's clothes tend to skew into darker territory since that seems to be what most designers envision men wanting. Of course, you can't just jump full in to spring colors right away. For a successful transition, mix in the super dark shades with some softer version like gray as a lighter version of black and primary blue as a softer take on navy. As spring comes into focus, you can start opting for the more pastel and vibrant hues of your favorite colors.
Textures
Sure corduroy is great for shielding out the cold, but it is not a great choice for transitioning to spring. Taking it down a notch to the staple favorite of jeans is always a good choice. For the big, wool sweaters, it's officially time to pack them away. Cotton long sleeve tees and lighter jackets are the way to go as the weather starts to warm.
Shoes
Sandals have no place in the transitional wardrobe unless that transition has summer somewhere in the title. Since it's winter to spring, store the winter boots and dig out the trusty tennis shoes. If rain is a culprit in your neighborhood, then water-repellent shoes and wellington boots are doable, but full on snow boots can stay at home.
When it comes to men's clothing the transitions between seasons isn't really that bad. It's just a matter of shifting color palettes and the heftiness of some garments. Other than that, pants will always be the bottom half and shirts will always be the top half. Pretty simple.
