What to Wear Everywhere This Spring

Yeah, it sucks out there. But we have it on good authority that things will soon get warmer and stay that way. Which means... spring things, involving baseballs. And horses. And the kinds of items you’ll wear to events with baseballs and horses. Like these...

The Item: A Baseball Jacket (Naturally)
THE EVENT: APR 4, OPENING DAY

The Item: A Baseball Jacket (Naturally)

Just because the Boys of Summer are back doesn’t mean it’s, well, summer. Enter this white cotton jacket, with red and blue stripes (obviously), which will have you looking like one of those sportswriters of yore. It’s even got pockets for your spare scorekeeping pencils.

The Item: A Next-Level Polo Shirt
THE EVENT: APR 12, YOUR FIRST GOLF DAY

The Item: A Next-Level Polo Shirt

Yeah, we know: this isn’t a specific event. Just feels like a good golf day. Besides, someone might invite you to Congressional or something. So step out on the practice green in this cashmere/cotton polo, befitting a classic Arnold Palmer look. Pair it with an Arnold Palmer.

The Item: A Seasonally Appropriate Tie
THE EVENT: APR 21, WHITE HOUSE EASTER EGG ROLL

The Item: A Seasonally Appropriate Tie

You’ve got an in at the White House. And you’ve got a nephew who wants to roll some eggs. So you’re going. What you need: a casual tie, maybe with flowers on it. Or leaves. Or ferns. Like these new two-inch-wide, squared-off numbers from Hugh & Crye in Georgetown. Biden’ll love it.

The Item: Gravitas-Adding Sunglasses
THE EVENT: MAY 3, WH CORRESPONDENTS DINNER

The Item: Gravitas-Adding Sunglasses

You might be at a brunch this weekend. Or an afternoon reception. You might also meet Clooney or someone. So your sunglasses should be up to snuff. Like these, modeled after classic mid-century frames, just like your favorite cold warrior might have worn. Come on, everyone’s got a favorite cold warrior.

The Item: A Truly Dandy-ish Suit
THE EVENT: MAY 17, PREAKNESS STAKES

The Item: A Truly Dandy-ish Suit

It might get loud. No, not the crowd as the horses come down the stretch. Your suit. Specifically this suit, in cotton with Japanese-inspired embroidery. Besides, it’ll give you a conversation piece when you meet Lorde.
