Q. “I’m about to start out courting once more after a unhealthy breakup. Since I’ll in all probability go on a string of first dates, do you’ve a advice for a heat climate first-date uniform of types? One thing informal however cute, ideally.” — Katie
A. Good query. For spring and summer time, I’d say, don’t underestimate the facility of a white T-shirt and denims. The look is iconic for a motive: whenever you pull them on, you instantly really feel attractive and laid-back. Common Normal has nice trouser-style denims — or you possibly can channel Audrey Hepburn with this match — and their white T-shirts are extremely mushy. (Have you ever ever worn one? You nearly should really feel them to imagine it.) If you wish to be barely dressier, you may go together with a polo sweater and hoop earrings. Have enjoyable in your dates, we’re rooting for you!!!

A. I turned to Catherine Newman, who has robust ideas on non-alcoholic drinks. “Ohhhh! I’ve so many concepts,” she texted again. “Listed below are three: Pineapple juice + seltzer + a sprint of bitters + ice + lime wedge. Jalapeño limeade + frozen ardour fruit cubes (Complete Meals sells these) + seltzer. Bitter cherry juice + maple syrup + chipotle chilies (puréed from the can) + ice + seltzer. In any other case, a good N/A beer like Sam Adams Simply the Haze or a hoppy seltzer (Lagunitas is one of the best).” Thanks, Catherine! Her reply jogged my memory that Wölffer’s N/A rosé is superb, and you can also’t go incorrect with fizzy water and sliced lemons/limes/oranges.
Q. What’s a group recreation for adults that may be performed in a small house? I’m having my cousins over and would love some concepts. Previously, we’ve loved video games like Code Names and Anomia. — Anna
A. Oooh, you’ve come to the precise place! I LOVE a group recreation, a lot in order that my very own cousins will begin laughing after I say, “Hey guys, who needs to…” as a result of they know precisely what’s coming. For a bigger group, Movie star may be very enjoyable and all you want are pens, paper, and a bowl. Neanderthal is a hilarious — you attempt to get your group to guess as many phrases as doable, however you should utilize solely monosyllabic clues. (My buddy Lizzy was attempting to explain “fireplace,” and mentioned, “Man. Made. This. First.”) Lastly, you may do the quantity recreation, the place you attempt to depend as excessive as doable as a group, however the catch is, nobody can name out a quantity on the identical time. It’s weirdly arduous and very humorous!
