Spring’s a sneaky little season. One day, you’re warm in your snowshoes and down jacket. The next—bam. Flowers, cartoon birds and home openers. And you, just standing there not wearing a shirt with flowers on it. Well... we’re not quite there yet. Still, let’s get you ready, shall we...
What: Just a lightweight, linen-cotton-blend jacket that doesn’t make you look like a
Peep.
Why: At brunch, you’re looking for a touch of spring as opposed to a one-person Easter
parade.
What: Italian-made calfskin sneakers in a sensibly neutral white.
Why: You want something casual enough for a ball game, but dressy enough for a yacht race
off the Amalfi Coast. Also, you don’t want to bring an extra pair of sneakers to the Amalfi Coast.
What: A rain-resistant, multilayered coat inspired by the clothes of the Scottish
gentry.
Why: It simply makes good sense. You never know when you’re going to need to keep the
rain off you, or when you’ll be hunting with the royals, or when you’ll need to look your most smashing.
What: A short-sleeve shirt that looks like spring has sprung.
Why: The air is nice. The sun is out. There are flowers on your shirt. You’re free. Your
arms are free. Everything’s free.
What: Japanese sunglasses strengthened by titanium and better-than-average looks.
Why: You’re on a patio, soaking in sunshine, high on your alfresco cocktailing. Don’t
let squinting ruin everything. Squinting is always trying to ruin everything.
