Garden Party

Is this me? Yes, if you're dressing for an outdoor wedding, daytime celebration, or summer event where the setting is elegant but outside. The outfit: tailored chinos or light wool trousers (khaki, stone, or light grey) + a light-coloured linen or cotton shirt + leather loafers + a belt. Optional: a lightweight blazer or sport coat (can be draped over the shoulders when the sun dips). In your pocket: a lightweight blazer. Outdoor events can shift -- sun goes down, a breeze picks up, the host moves inside. Having the blazer means you're ready for all of it. Springus will tell you if your closet has the right lightweight fabrics for this.
