The Summer Suit:
This summer, invest in a suit that offers countless possibilities. –sholayide otugalu
Seersucker: Whether you summer in South Beach, the Hamptons, or So-Cal, your summer wardrobe isn’t complete until you have a light, breathable seersucker suit. (Two-Button Seersucker Suit ($398.00) Brooks Brothers)
Khaki: Offers a crisp, cool style that, as the day wears on, evolves into a slightly rumpled personal signature. (Tommy Hilfiger cotton trim fit khaki suit ($210.00, Macy’s)
Linen: Not only does a linen suit’s breezy elegance turn women’s heads, but a good linen suit makes its wearer that rare man who manages to look laid-back and smooth, even during summer’s hottest, muggiest months. Light blue linen two-button suit ($380.00, Banana Republic)
With a tie: For a more dignified look pair your summer suit with a solid or print tie. For work or an elegant night out, this option is most befitting for the summer suit. Even if the occasion for wearing the suit is casual and a tie is still a part of your look, you can throw on a pair of converse for a playful look.
Without a tie: If you’re the easy going gentleman that enjoys a relaxed and comfortable style, then leave the tie behind! It is perfectly okay to wear suit without a tie, but you should also consider the event you are going to attend. A man in a suit with the shirt’s top button (or two) undone with no tie says nice dresser, but not uptight.
With a pop of color: With the summer season comes lots of colors. Embracing color with your summer suit will definitely liven your look. Whether your color comes from your tie, shoes, or shirt, be sure to chose a color that will pull the suit together.
The Classic Loafer: Penny loafers have ruled the scene for so long that now they’re a classic staple. Not as popular as hard-bottom shoes, loafers almost have an underdog charm. They can be worn with sport jackets, and theoretically they could be worn with casual suits. Combining classic style and modern comfort, penny loafers complete your warm weather wardrobe.
