Next Level: Seersucker
Is there a fabric that screams “summer” more loudly than seersucker does? (That’s a rhetorical question, you guys.) Here, four ways to work it as we head into the weekend that kicks off the season. —erica
LEVEL I: A Pret-a-Surf bikini so classic in an Ashley Judd sort of way.
LEVEL II: This Rag & Bone tank leans toward sweet—but wearing it with some ragged jean shorts counteracts that.
LEVEL III: Seersucker, two ways, brought to you by 10 Crosby Derek Lam.
LEVEL IV: Oh, WELL. Didn’t see the leather shawl collar on this Boy by Band of Outsiders blazer coming.

In Character: Olivia Pope
Ok, tell us: Is there anyone chicer on teevee than Olivia Pope? And the fact that her clothing has a chance to say anything amidst all the plot and ACTION on Scandal is pretty remarkable. Here’s how she gets the job done (and she always gets the job done). —erica
A Rag & Bone trench that communicates her number one fashion rule: Wear as much white as possible.
The sort of dress—by Lela Rose—that makes her presence at state dinners even more of a *thing*.
An Alexis Bittar necklace that makes her look like she’s got everything under control, no matter what shit Cyrus, Hollis, Verna, and Mellie are pulling.

Weather Vain: Miami, Florida - 84 With a Chance of Thunderstorms
Party in the city where the heat is on…or where it’s pouring down rain. EITHER WAY. Here’s what to wear in Mee-ah-mee on a day like today. (Keely! We miss you! Come back!) —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ A Loeffler Randall clutch, as fun as drinks at The Freehand.
+ The sort of so-easy Raquel Allegra dress that’s happy to live in a suitcase.
+ A Rag & Bone hat, protecting your hair from any T-storming—or, if the clouds part, the sun along the Wynwood Art Walk.
+ Rain sandals! Brought to you by Melissa.
+ Take this clunky-cool Jennifer Fisher bracelet to Joe’s Stone Crab or Yardbird, and don’t worry about getting messy.

In Character: Logan Echolls
Logan Echolls was not the most stylin’ dude at Neptune High—getting past his Hot Topic wardrobe was half the battle (er, for us if not for Veronica). Here’s what he wore—ok, fine, way better-looking versions of what he wore—to win our eternal LoVe. —erica
A necklace (here, John Hardy) that puts out major brah vibes, giving his use of SAT words like “anthropomorphic” even more zing.
An aggressively bad-boy moto jacket by Rag & Bone, just asking for a first kiss.
A Barker Black bow tie as swank as his room at the Neptune Grand—really adding gravitas to lines like, “I thought our story was epic, you know, you and me.”

Weather Vain: Jackson, Wyoming - 28 and Snowy
It’s a good day to make your way up East Ridge Lift. Here, the sort of getup that does well with après-ski cocoa/cocktails. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ A Chinti and Parker flannel shirt as cozy as the breakfast at The Bunnery.
+ Winifred Grace’s Pegasus cuff—useful for spotting constellations in the night sky.
+ A Hache shearling coat that plays well with the warm woods at Snake River Grill.
+ The sort of Rag & Bone denim vest that feels classically Western—and cool no matter where you are.
+ A Eugenia Kim turband—’cause it’s COLD.
+ Sperry guys that will feel luxurious when you yank off your snow boots.
+ Etoile Isabel Marant cords as fun (and French?) as a day on Rendezvous Mountain.
+ A Tila March bag that’s as carefully crafted as some Brown Derby booziness from The Rose.

Next Level: Varsity Jackets
These days, you don’t have to earn a letterman jacket—you just have to want one. And, dear god, do I. Here, four that knock it out of the park. —erica
LEVEL I: This 10 Crosby Derek Lam puppy has a blazer-like quality that makes it especially easy to rock—like, picture it with a pencil skirt.
LEVEL II: The tweed on this Roseanna one is all deconstructed and French-y. Bonus: It’s a total black-brown switch hitter.
LEVEL III: Spring training, the Rag & Bone way.
LEVEL IV: WHOA, Clover Canyon! But how ridiculously cool would this be with white jeans?!

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: Tom Haverford
As he would no doubt tell you himself, Tom Haverford is one of the most fashionable men in Pawnee. And that’s not just because he’s probably the only guy in town with a subscription to GQ. Here’s how to work his look whether you’re doing as little as possible for the city government or building an entertainment media conglomerate by giving away free iPads. —erica
A Boast polo: “That’s because it was featured in Details magazine, and it’s awesome.”
A Rag & Bone vest—classic Tommy Timberlake.
A plaid Jean Shop scarf that gets tons of compliments from Entertainment 720’s $100k-a-year assistant.
