A large part of the reason we try to look good is to impress the fairer sex. So, it couldn’t hurt every once in a while to get a woman’s perspective on the clothing and accessories she’d prefer. We turned to our friends at Style Girlfriend to do just that. Here are the new pieces Brittany Hammonds, the site’s online editor, is liking right now.

Bonobos Cabana Shirt
I fully endorse a print that screams warm weather and laid-back vibes. Any guy will look effortlessly cool when pairing this shirt with cuffed trousers and loafers (visible ankle? oh yes) or slip-ons and shorts for a day on the town.
$85
Pensfield Gibson Botanical Navy Jacket
April showers have been the real deal lately, and it’s the perfect opportunity to infuse your personal style into a rain slicker. Give me a guy in a bold botanical print any day—it’s surprisingly easy to pair with a simple outfit while standing out in the best way.
$235
Triwa Loch Falken
Triwa is a new (since 2007) Swedish watch brand that I’ve been really excited about…well, as excited as a girl can get about watches. Their designs are minimal with a twist that perfectly balance masculine and conversation-starting details. This navy and brown leather number with champagne gold accents will work in dressy and casual looks alike.
$184
Common Projects Chelsea Boot
Chelsea boots are a rugged yet dapper way to make any outfit pop, especially in khaki suede. This winter it was great to see guys look like rockstars in black leather Chelsea boots, so I’m all about these suede stunners for spring and summer looks.
$419
Saturdays Luke Denim
Light wash jeans are about as casual as they come, making them the perfect off-duty spring pant—and no, they’re definitely not “dad jeans” anymore. Think of bleach washed denim as an easier alternative to white jeans. I love how they’re both edgy and accessible when paired with a cool sneaker and crewneck sweater or tee.
$165
Best Made Pocket Notebook
Not technically a wearable piece, but hear me out: there’s something undeniably interesting about a guy with a notebook on his person. Sure, it may just be your grocery list but it will (probably) leave ladies wondering, “Oh my, is he an artist? Are those lyrics?” Especially this bold vintage-inspired pocket version. I’m a huge advocate of handwritten note-taking—and you just may surprise yourself by taking to it in your daily life.
