2. Plaid, Plaid Boy! Get over your Catholic or private school days, this is more about the surf influence than Sunday school. Plaid shorts are a must-have staple this spring/summer and are great for the surfer dude or the preppy prepster!

3. Graphic Novel. Freedom of speech is not only a right but an expression of individuality. So, speak your mind on your favorite tee. Whether you are preaching "Peace & Love" or supporting your favorite band, just express yourself!

4. C.E.O. stands for Cute. Executive. Officer of Style. This spring your wardrobe is Boardroom Bound!
