For this season Boss Orange has really used a strong bleached colour structure. T-shirts use the idea of "Landscapes of India" which are colourful and artistic with an overall mystical impression. Sport shirts are cotton and cotton-linen blends and have a comfortable sea-side feel to them. They are perfect for hanging out on a patio or by the pool. Boss Orange denim has slightly changed this season to a more casual pant direction, but hung on to the tighter, more distressed look which is reminiscent of previous styles.

Summer is approaching fast and with the life style that Kelowna has to offer, Boss Orange is definitely the brand to wear.

Some highlights from the spring 2012 collection include track suits with clean and retro styling and T-shirts that have a subtle flair with understated logos and graphics. Throughout the Boss Green collection fashion meets function. Nano Tech fabric is both a sun blocker as well as bacteria repellant to keep you comfortable while looking great. Finishing off the Boss Green look is an amazing array of hats, sandals and accessories for the sporty guy. Bags range from the large weekenders that double perfectly for a trip to the gym. Footwear is equally sporty and stylish for the home, gym or a night out.

The polo shirt’s roots are in tennis but it has certainly evolved a long way from there. Although the look of the shirt is still virtually the same, the application is far broader. Polo shirts have been adopted by golfers as their official shirt. However sports aren’t the only place we see this shirt now. Polos make for the best casual shirts, especially through the spring and summer.  They are one step above a t-shirt and a good deal more sophisticated. You can wear a polo casually with shorts or even under a suit jacket to dress it up. This makes the polo shirt another one of those versatile, go to items that are a key piece in any guy’s closet. 

The style characteristics of a polo shirt are unique and incorporate a few key details. Polos are normally knitted rather than woven and their more popular fabrics are pique cotton, silk, merino wool and synthetics. They typically have a two or three button placket.

If sports are your thing, try a polo from the Boss Green collection. Their Pro Collection is made up of bright, cool looking polos that work well both on and off the course. With new Nano Tech blended fabrics, cottons that repel water and UV sunlight; these are not the golf shirts of old.

If you want something you are not going to necessarily play a round in, and fashion is a little more what you had in mind, companies like Nanibon and Victorinox offer great stylish polos for casual work attire or for play. Put a funky Nanibon polo on for a summer night out and you will be sure to draw some good attention.

A sport shirt is not to be confused for a dress shirt, they are different pieces. There are a couple of easy ways to tell them apart. First would be fit. A dress shirt is considerably more fitted so it can be worn with a tie and fit nicely under a suit jacket. A sport shirt is less fitted and designed to be worn with the top button open and untucked. The second difference, which is very distinct, is colour and print. Dress shirts are often solid in colour or decorated with subtle prints. Sport shirts are recognizable for their bold colours and often daring prints. 

Winter is over and summer is coming, it is time to try injecting some colour into your look. Pure is a trendy European brand known for colorful vibrant and bold patterns, a great way to brighten up your look for spring.  

Another hot look is a plaid or check from Boss Orange. These old school patterns are back in a huge way. A western looking shirt with a new urban flare and feel is the ultimate in casual weekender wear.

If you really want to go for it, Robert Graham is the answer. These are probably the hottest sport shirts in the world right now. Known for stunning paisley prints, unique florals and eye-catching patterns, these shirts are for the man who wants to stand out in the crowd. And these guys don’t forget the fine points. Each shirt is detailed with amazing embroidery down the inside of the plackets. The number one way to tell you are wearing a Robert Graham is the signature artwork found under every cuff. A Robert Graham sport shirt is a sure-fire way to add some pop to your look this spring.
