Hot Weather Style: Mastering Suit Elegance Under the Sizzling Sun

Let's face it – wearing a suit in summer hot weather can feel like being stuck in a personal sauna. But looking sharp doesn't have to mean suffering through the heat. Here are our 4 Top Tips to beat the heat!

1. Stay Cool, Look Hot

The most important thing to prioritize in hot weather is the fabric. You should always try to opt for something lightweight and breathable. Fabrics like Linen Blends or Cotton Blends are best.

2. Fit Like a Savvy Gentleman

The fit of your suit is the second factor when it comes to staying cool in the warmer weather. Slimmer suits can be constricting; a looser fit has better air circulation. That will keep you cooler, longer.

3. Light Hues, Big Impact

Did you know that colors that reflect sunlight keep you cooler? Colors like Beige, Light Gray, Light Blue, and Cream will all keep you cooler by reflecting heat instead of absorbing it!

4. Accessory Finesse

Silky ties, linen pocket squares, and luxe leather belts are some perfect accessories that you can wear without adding too much weight and that keep you cooler.
