Weather Vain: Columbus, Ohio - 84 and Partly Cloudy

image

Can we talk about how the three biggest cities in Ohio start with C? Ok, we don’t have to. Instead, let’s discuss what to wear if you’re in the very largest C on a day like today. —erica

Clockwise from top left:

+ A bag slick enough for weekday brunch at Pistacia Vera—c/o Sophie Hulme.

+ A Sea dress that will take you all the way to sweater season.

+ A Kelly Wearstler ring that’s itching to hit the galleries in the Short North district.

+ Miista jellies—reminiscent of your youth, just like two scoops from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams.

+ Lulu Frost earrings that jazz up any Monday (or, hell, Friday for that matter).

Weather Vain: Santa Fe, New Mexico - 91 and Partly Cloudy

image

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.

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

image

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.

The Vibe: Snappy indie-rock hooks, throbbing dark dance beats, and lyrics so catchy you can’t help but sing along.

The One-Song Intro: “Youth Without Youth”

The Look, Recreated: Casual basics with some edge, like geometric-print shorts from Vena Cava, a destroyed black tee from Obesity & Speed, black ankle boots from New Kid, and caramel sunglasses from Karen Walker. —liza darwin

The perfect get-up to say, “Dobrý den, Praha!” —erica

There’s some coolness happening in Detroit right now, and a downright lovely day like this one is the perfect time to explore it. Here’s what to wear to get down with The D. —erica

Clockwise from top left:

+ An M.Patmos silk tee cool enough for Corktown.

+ A warm-hued Annie Costello Brown cuff that will look appropriate next to a scotch Crimson Dynamo cocktail at Sugar House.

+ The sort of jumbo Steven Alan tote ready for a camera and some time at the Motown Museum.

+ Elizabeth and James flats—kick ‘em off and tuck into bed at the way-cool inn Honor & Folly.

+ Tiny studded Tom Binns hoops that feel very Rock City.

+ A Haute Hippie blazer that dresses things right up for dinner at John D.

+ White MiH jeans—because the weather’s totally asking for ‘em.
