I had espresso the opposite morning with my good friend Erika Werink, who writes the Lengthy Stay e-newsletter and has a humorous Instagram. She was carrying a blue and white striped shirt over purple shorts with a gold necklace and I cherished all of it.

“An outsized striped shirt is the cheat code to wanting such as you stepped out of a 1993 J.Crew catalog,” Erika instructed me. As for fashion, she says, “greater is best, all the time pull up the sleeves a bit, and when unsure, unbutton one additional button.” She made this useful video for us:

After I put on it, I solely fasten the 2 center buttons (so it is barely open and a bit horny) after which I put on it over white shorts or sweat shorts.
