Easter Sunday is a great excuse to get the whole family dressed up and looking nice. Whether you are going to church, Easter brunch/dinner, or a good old-fashioned Easter egg hunt, it’s an opportunity to wear bright, fun clothing after a long season of winter clothes. For Dad, that means bright shirts, lightweight suit coats, and fun accessories. Here is a roundup of some of my favorite items so Dad can look his Easter best.

Gap Chambray Blazer
This denim sport coat would look great over a simple shirt and pair of khakis, but would also pair well with a brightly colored checked shirt. It dresses an outfit up without looking like a full suit. Plus, it is lightweight enough to help the kids find their Easter eggs.

Banana Republic Fulton Skinny Cotton Pant
Speaking of khakis, friends don't let friends wear pleated pants. Snag a pair of these flat-front skinny cotton khakis and you will have a modern and sophisticated silhouette.

Seersucker Shirt in Red Tattersall
Easter calls for bright colors, so you can afford to let your dress shirt get a little loud. This seersucker shirt has a great pop of color and would work well under a coat or all by itself.

Short Sleeve in Courier Blue Batik
If you want to get even louder, grab a shirt with some bold and bright florals. Be careful to not venture into Hawaiian shirt territory, but this look will be turning heads on Easter morning.

Oxford Cloth Chinos in Frosted Spruce
If you want to be extra bright, don't be afraid to wear colored pants too! I wish I could have every color of chinos for the summer months ahead. This shade of green will serve you well this April---they are super soft and come already broken in for extra comfort.

Secret Wash Shirt in Light Turquoise Gingham
Nothing says Easter to me more than a pastel gingham shirt. Plus, these shirts from J. Crew are super high quality and comfortable to wear. Pair them with a simple tie and suit coat.

Ludlow Suit in Italian Linen
There is no better suit off the rack than the Ludlow suit from J. Crew. I wore one at my wedding and have never turned back. A light gray suit in linen will help keep you cool if spring suddenly becomes like summer too quickly.

German Casual Loafers from Aldo
If you want a little bit more of a casual look for your feet, go for a simple moccasin loafer or a driving show. Again, brown and tan are the colors to go for in springtime.

Geo Diamond Socks
Every good outfit needs the proper accessories, and no one should still be wearing boring old socks. Add one more splash of color to the outfit with some bright and fun socks. This geometric collection from the Gap is a fun twist on a classic idea.

Chambray Tie
This is the perfect tie to go with a brightly colored and patterned shirt. J. Crew ties are also the perfect width for today's stylish dad. Not too wide to look like an old man, and not too skinny to look like a hipster.

Gold-plated Bobby Pin Tie Clip
If you are going to wear a tie, don't forget the tie clip! This simple and understated gold tie clip will work with any shirt and tie combo.

Irish Linen Pocket Square
A necessary addition to any man's closet is a collection of killer pocket squares. They add a colorful pop to any suit coat, and make you stand out from the crowd. Be careful to not include too many accessories, though. As far as ties, tie clips, and pocket squares go, you usually don't need all three.
