Your Sartorial Guide to Spring

Spring is officially here. We can tell because it’s getting warmer and baseball is starting. And also by consulting a calendar. So don’t just stand there. Instead, stand there wearing appropriately white shoes and a pastel blazer. Here, allow us...

THE SHIRT

A Baseball Shirt for Baseball Stuff

What: It’s an extra-soft James Perse baseball tee.
Why: Because the Rangers’ home opener is Friday and, by definition, this is a baseball shirt. Also see: playing softball, sports-bar attire, being comfortable.

THE BLAZER

A Jacket for Betting the Ponies

What: A lightweight, Italian-cotton, unconstructed blazer that’s just the right amount of pink.
Why: For wearing to Lone Star Park, where you can place bets, drink juleps and field compliments directed at your torso.

THE ACCESSORY

April Showers... Lapel Flowers

What: A silk lapel flower that’s lavender and doesn’t shoot water.
Why: Flowers are always a nice touch on Mother’s Day. Either the real kind or the fake kind on your lapel.

THE SWIM TRUNKS

Shorts Destined for the Pool

What: A colorful mosaic that upon closer inspection is... yep, still a pair of swim trunks.
Why: One day soon, you may be forced to lounge poolside with a daiquiri in hand. Or perform a cannonball. Or do both in some natty trunks. Let these be they.

THE SHOES

For Casually Walking Around

What: A versatile white leather sneaker from Common Projects.
Why: Maybe you’re walking the fairways at the Byron Nelson. Maybe you’re watching from home. Maybe you hate golf. Maybe you’re on a boat. We don’t know. But we’re betting you wear shoes.
