A good time of year, this is. The basketball. The Masters. Opening day. Also: the lighter clothing. So now that you’ve put all your St. Patrick’s Day duds away (nice green top hat, by the way), here’s a handy guide to the next 90 days or so. Sartorially speaking.
What: A three-quarter-length, heather-gray baseball henley.
Why: For looking especially good while playing on a softball field. Or at Nats Park. Where,
presumably, you’re not playing.
What: Light-blue, Italian-made, linen-and-wool pants.
Why: Because you’ve learned to associate dark blue with snow and slush. It’s
coincidence more than causality, but still. Time for a change.
What: A sharp-looking, made-in-the-US jacket that cuts the wind.
Why: Because it’s got reinforced elbows. And enough pockets to hold roughly $24.65 in
spare change. Or, you know, your hands.
What: More than a pound of French terry cotton, presented here in convenient sweatshirt
form.
Why: Because high-performance fabrics are overrated. And you’re envisioning some
Rocky-style fitness on the streets of DC.
What: Italian-made, polarized sunglasses, named after Elvis Presley.
Why: Because sometimes when the sun shines brightly, you’d like... less of that. Also,
because they’re named after Elvis Presley.
