The Amazing Pre-Spring Pre-Special

Spring is still too bloody far away and all I see out the window is rain, darkness and a barmy-looking man who appears to be hop-skipping in puddles. At least someone's enjoying the weather. 
I don't want to be a Debbie Downer (if that's even anatomically possible, as I'm a male) but all this doom and gloom outside is unnerving, and I fear I'm but a hop-skip away from going bonkers. What to do?
Phototherapy? Vitamins? Chakra realignment? 
Oh, I know something! 
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Looking at CLOTHES!
Even though the stores are irking me by ostentating all the spring and summer merchandise when they ruddy well know it's too early to actually wear any of it, one might as well get some stuff already or at least plan out what to get later in the year.
So as we all await the annual Style For Guys Grand Spring/Summer Special with bated breath (well you know, some people might be curious- or not), I present you with a few items and outfits I particularly fancy and can't wait to get my claws on for next season. 
If you're trying anything on in the future, these items deserve to make it past the cash register and into the wide open world to be admired by all.

The Amazing Pre-Spring Pre-Special

Keeping it classy with Valentino for men.

And how about these gorgeous gladiator sandals by Croatian-born designer Damir Doma (whom I love, and you should too). I normally abhor the sight of sandals, but how could you not look awesome in these?

And these last two outfits are by the Belgian label Les Hommes, which is unfalteringly chic and sophisticated.

With all these debonair outfits awaiting, my winter blues melt away like snow in the sun (awesome pun #326, oh yes!)
