What’s in store for Spring
At Rodes For Him!
When you’ve been in the apparel business for five generations, you see your fair share of changes. Serving Louisville for 109 years gives us the perspective to see beyond the trends and give you the subtle changes in menswear for the Spring-Derby season.
Return of the Dress Trouser - It’s time for a proper dress trouser. As we begin a new season, treat your blazer or sportcoat to a fresh look - with or without a tie.
Forever Favorites - We always had an affinity for the Suit. Now more than ever, we are seeing the power suit go from the office to a special occasion.
Be Bold - Spice up your clothing with exciting bold shirts, ties, pocket squares and other accent pieces. Have fun and let your personality shine!
Make a Statement - Formal wear is a staple that is always in style. We love everything from a classic tuxedo, colorful accents, but mostly the addition of the velvet dinner jacket. Subtle elegance at its best!
Drop in anytime. The parking is plentiful, the mood is relaxing and our family makes shopping fun.
Cheers to a great season!
