What to Wear Everywhere This Fall

We’ve seen your fall calendar. (Really. Don’t ask.) And it’s impressive. But we couldn’t help noticing: you’ll need clothes for every event (except maybe the more avant-garde ones). To help you, we’ve scoured local stores to cover every major autumnal occasion. Yes, even Redskins-Cowboys.

The Item: Jeans Made from Wool
The Event: Sep 22, Grapes with the Apes

The Item: Jeans Made from Wool

At this late September fund-raiser, you’ll be sipping wine from a dozen vineyards, so you’ll want to keep it elevated. But you’re hanging with apes, and they’re, well... casual. Enter these jeans from Theory, made from lightweight flannel wool. To show them how evolved you are.

Theory Flannel Jeans, $195, available at Lost Boys, 1033 31st St NW, 202-333-0093

The Item: Art Deco Cufflinks
The Event: Sep 30, The Great Gatsby Party

The Item: Art Deco Cufflinks

You’ve got a Gatsby-themed fund-raiser. You’ve got your own version of Daisy. And now, your choice of vintage, art deco cufflinks from the ’20s and ’30s. Think lots of jade, sapphire and platinum. Just make sure they’re well fastened before you attempt the Charleston.

Art Deco Cufflinks, starting at $500, available at Tiny Jewel Box, 1147 Connecticut Ave NW, 202-393-2747

The Item: Scarves Made from Bandanas
The Event: Oct 8-10, Taste of DC

The Item: Scarves Made from Bandanas

Eighty restaurants. Thirty breweries. Sixty wineries. And possibly a chill in the air. The solution: one of these scarves, stitched together by an anonymous “prominent Washingtonian” from the 1970s. Can also be used as a BBQ sauce napkin in case of emergency.

Mr Vintage Scarves, $65, available at Rue 14, 1803A 14th St NW, 202-462-6200

The Item: The President of Shirts
The Event: Oct 15, International Gold Cup Races

The Item: The President of Shirts

Fine cotton is one thing, but a shirt made from hope and change is what you’re really looking for. Like this pin-striped blue (naturally) number from the guys at Hugh & Crye, designed to honor the prez’s 50th birthday—and your fall Saturday watching horse races. Your approval rating just went up.

The Barack Shirt, $85, available online at Hugh & Crye

The Item: The Warmest Button-Down
The Event: Nov 20, Redskins-Cowboys

The Item: The Warmest Button-Down

Well into November, this game could actually mean something. And if heckling Romo won’t keep you warm enough, this will: a lined, flannel button-down made from thick, virgin wool. Goes well with your pig nose.

The Fletcher Shirt, $475, available at Rag & Bone, 3067 M St NW, 202-295-9072
