From the 1950’s classic comb over to the 1970s-inspired faded jeans, the fashion trends of spring are already hitting the streets of Bucks County. We spoke to the Bucks County men's fashion experts at Ventresca, Ltd. to get the scoop on some of the biggest trends of spring and summer 2015.

The warmer months are all about comfort; the two most popular fabrics to wear are cotton and linen. Linen is designed to not cling to your body when the temperature rises. Both the weave and the fibers allow more airflow, keeping your body cool while you’re shaking it out on the dance floor.

Speaking of dance floors, Frank Ventresca, a Bucks County native and proud owner of Ventresca Ltd. located in Doylestown, notes that these trends also carry through to formalwear, as men search for the perfect tuxedos for spring proms or summer weddings.

Staying ahead of men's fashion trends is in Frank Ventresca blood, having come from a long line of tailors. Frank learned the trade of tailoring and opened his own shop in 1981. Ventresca Ltd. started off as a small 800 square foot space in Jenkintown that relocated to Doylestown in 2006. Today, his 5,000 square foot men’s retail store offers a wide range of custom made clothing, ready to wear clothing, denim, and accessories. “From contemporary to classic, what we do here at Ventresca Ltd is service a lifestyle” Frank explains.

Khakis aren’t going anywhere anytime soon! Ventresca Ltd. sells Bills Khakis, an American brand that's made right here in Pennsylvania. Khakis are an easy way to make a dressy button down shirt look casual, all while feeling cool and comfortable.

Ventresca Ltd offers ready to wear denim looking to please the contemporary and or classic man. Popular labels include 34 Heritage, Hugo Boss, and John Varvatos.

A popular trend for men is the layered look, including blazers worn over a denim jacket. This look will keep you fashion forward and warm on those chilly spring days. Frank lets us in on a must have in every man's closet, the navy blue blazer. Whether it be Hickey Freeman or Hart Schaffner Marx, Frank’s friendly staff is more than happy to help you find what looks best on you.
