Next Level: Basically PJ Pants
The dream: for the clothes you wear in public to be as comfy as the ones you wear under the covers. And while some people are willing to push things further, we’re happy to settle at pajama pants, and these four pairs are ready to take the day. —erica
LEVEL I: Dare I call these checked 3.1 Phillip Lim guys office-appropriate? They even have back slit pockets.
LEVEL II: Piamita: Taking the PJ vibe very seriously.
LEVEL III: The little multi-color belt on this Maison Scotch pair does a lot to dress things up.
LEVEL IV: Oh, Clover Canyon, you aren’t scared of anything are you? Follow the styling tip shown here and wear these wide-leg wonders with a hyper-classic striped tee to keep them in check.
If you wanna dive into the “Next Level” archives, now’s your chance!

Of a Kind
MC Hammer’s ears must be ringing ‘cause Damir Doma is totally talking (or, ok, designing) about him. —erica

Next Level: Black Waistbands
Stacy and Clinton would probably have something to say about how a black band across your belly has a slimming effect, and while we absolutely care, we also just think it looks damn cool. Four ways to have at it. —erica
LEVEL I: The dash of darkness gives this 10 Crosby Derek Lam skirt an easy, transition-to-spring vibe. Wear it with a striped shirt, and BAM.
LEVEL II: Suddenly, a white mini—this one by Elizabeth and James—seems a hell of a lot more approachable.
LEVEL III: No, leather shorts aren’t easy, but the neutral motif of these A.L.C. guys would go so exceedingly well with a slim white oxford.
LEVEL IV: Printed crepe Helmut Lang pants?! OH, why not.

Weather Vain - Key West, Florida - 72 and Partly Cloudy
One of the warmest destinations in the U.S. of A. today: Key West. What to wear if you don’t HAVE to wear a jacket. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ The sort of five-o’clock-somewhere pants from See by Chloe that leave plenty of room for Kermit’s key lime pie.
+ So, it’s not supposed to be a super-bright day, but this is definitely the sort of place where sunglasses—these by Karen Walker—are part of the uniform.
+ Stripes! On your soles! Alice + Olivia sandals that can navigate the rocky beaches.
+ A silk Tibi tank that goes with the motif of the Southernmost House.
+ Mociun earrings as quirky as your surroundings.
+ The low tonight: 64. So you can get away with just a Rag & Bone scarf-slash-shawl if you want to.
+ A wicker clutch from Rebecca Minkoff that’s a fun as it is easy—goes well with the catch of the day at the Flaming Buoy Filet Co.

Weather Vain: Joshua Tree, California - 54 and Partly Cloudy
Take a hike—we wish someone would tell us that today and that we’d get to jet west to chill with some Joshua trees and desert wildlife. Here’s what we’d wear after a morning making our way up Warren Peak. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ A Topo Designs bag that can hold things that qualify as gear—and plenty of water.
+ An easy-to-slip-on cuff by Giles & Brother fit for fire-pitting with friends at the Mojave Sands Motel.
+ Theyskens’ Theory boots that are hardly hike-appropriate but can totally handle some bumpy terrain.
+ The sort of leather-accented denim shirt by Iro that will look approp at Crossroads Cafe.
+ A Leigh & Luca scarf—cause you know it’s gonna get cold when the sun goes down.
+ Rag & Bone camo pants that will blend right in with the cacti.
+ A poncho! Feels right, no? This cozy Vince one will make you want to troll the farmers’ market for dates (as in, the kind you eat) all day.

In Character: Krusty the Clown
How do you make an angry, substance-abusing clown seem at least 7% more kid-friendly? Bright, crazy clothes. Here’s how Krusty (or, if you’d rather, Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky) half-heartedly sells his persona. —erica
A YMC shirt just business-like enough to keep Sideshow Bob Mel in line.
A blue bowtie, made by Forage, not the Krusty Korporation.
Cheap Monday pants—as green as the hundred dollar bills he uses to light his cigarettes.
