Track Star: Solange
The Vibe: Her funky beats, blissed-out vibes, and loads of charisma prove that Beyonce’s not the only Knowles sister capable of commanding the stage.
The One-Song Intro: “Losing You”
The Look, Recreated: In-your-face prints, like Emma Cook’s high-waisted striped shorts and Sea NY’s graphic varsity jacket, layered over luxe basics—think Wayne’s cobalt silk tank. —liza darwin

Next Level: Confetti!
Tell me this: What print’s more FESTIVE than confetti—or, to borrow from Pillsbury, funfetti? Here, four pieces ready for a party. —erica
LEVEL I: So sweet with its drop waist, this Cythia Rowley situation is just asking for an afternoon wedding.
LEVEL II: Dreaming of this Julien David collared shirt with some super-light-wash jeans.
LEVEL III: The patches of neon on this Corey Lynn Calter dress keep it far away from The Help costume closet.
LEVEL IV: Bursts of blue, yellow, and purple turn these Thierry Lasry tortoiseshell shades just a little CrAzY.

Weather Vain: Santa Fe, New Mexico - 91 and Partly Cloudy
Just cause you’re hot doesn’t mean you can’t look cool. Right? RIGHT?! Here, how to show The City Different what you’re made of. —erica
Clockwise from top left:
+ A sleeveless collared shirt from Boy. by Band of Outsiders—as classic as a blue corn burriot lunch at The Shed.
+ So sleek and cool—this VPL bra would fit right in at the Photo Eye book store (even if nobody there sees it).
+ These Illesteva shades—to literally view this steamy Monday through rose-colored glasses.
+ Carry this Acne bag by the handle, and spare yourself at least some of the sweatiness.
+ A Lucy Folk bracelet that can hang with the wares at the Railyard Artisan Market.
+ Elizabeth and James flatforms—so you can stand in front of that Georgia O’Keeffe as long as you’d like.
+ Pull on this Friend of Mine skirt for a fancy-schmance dinner at Luminaria; pass out in your bed at the attached Inn and Spa at Loretto right after.

Track Star: Elena Tonra of Daughter
The Vibe: Angelic vocals, experimental beats, and lush, textured melodies fuel this indie folk trio’s brand of brooding love songs.
The One-Song Intro: “Still”
The Look, Recreated: Vintage-inspired pieces with off-kilter English touches, like a button-up top with a Peter Pan collar from Something Else, high-waisted pants by Wood Wood, and an unexpected necklace by Vim Beget. —liza darwin

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: Clark Griswold
AHHH, summer vacation. It’s upon us. And if you don’t have any big holiday-weekend plans, maybe you want to cozy up on the couch and make like Rusty, sharing a six-pack with the ultimate road-trippin’ dad? Here, how to rip off his look. —erica
A Barque polo that says, “My wife picked this out for me.”
A Band of Outsiders khaki bomber—cool enough to attract the attention of the blonde in the Ferrari, maybe?
YMC x Clarks loafers as classic as a trip to Wally World.
Another good Saturday activity: a deep dive into the “In Character” archives.

It’s like the oxford button-down’s trouble-making baby brother—the one who rides around the subdivision with his bike posse. c/o Burkman Bros! —erica
