Because you want to look hot, stay cool – and still feel perfectly put together.
Let’s be honest, wearing a full suit in peak summer is an endurance sport. And while a tailored suit is often your go-to power piece, when the heat hits hard, even the sharpest dresser needs a smarter strategy.
Thankfully, there’s a way to keep your cool and your style intact. It’s all about smart substitutions, breathable fabrics and a refined take on summer tailoring.
Here’s how to look crisp, not crumpled, when the mercury rises:
1. Lightweight Cottons That Feel Luxurious
If you’re going to wear a suit, make it a cotton one. But not just any cotton. Go for a higher-end weave that feels sleek to the touch and holds its shape. Lightweight, breathable and structured enough to look smart. It’s the perfect hybrid of summer comfort and classic elegance.
Style tip: Ditch heavy linings. Our cotton suits are designed to feel featherlight and effortless.
2. The Smart Summer Shirt (That Isn’t Stiff)
When it comes to shirts, pure cotton can feel a little heavy. Instead, we recommend shirts in cotton-linen blends. These offer the best of both worlds: the crispness of cotton, with the breezy cool of linen, without looking like you’ve packed for a holiday in Mykonos.
Bonus: Blended fabrics are far less prone to creasing, so you’ll stay sharp all day.
3. Chinos – but Elevated
Think of these as the quiet luxury version of your everyday trousers. Smart chinos in a sleeker, more refined fabric (with or without a front crease) can be dressed up or down depending on your day. And yes, we tailor them to perfection, because even relaxed trousers should never feel baggy or basic.
Pair with: A soft unstructured blazer, or a sharp cotton shirt for an easy summer win.
4. Sports Jackets That Stay Sharp
Seersucker sports jackets can work beautifully for summer, but it’s all in the styling. To keep things looking more “executive lunch” than “beachside wedding,” go for muted tones, clean lines and tailored shapes. And if seersucker feels a little too casual, try lightweight wool blends or linen mixes with built-in crease resistance.
Tip: We use clever fabric technologies that help keep jackets looking immaculate, even after a long day on the move.
5. Fabric is Everything
Whether you’re dressing smart casual or business formal, the key to summer style is fabric. Look for blends that offer airflow, stretch and resilience without compromising on sophistication.
We favour fabrics that look sharp but feel featherlight, because there’s no glory in overheating for the sake of appearance.
The Final Word?
Looking sharp in the heat doesn’t mean layering up or stripping back too far. It’s about refined fabrics, smarter shapes, and a wardrobe that’s designed around you, not the forecast.
We’ll design and tailor a wardrobe that works effortlessly for you. Refined, comfortable, and always stylish. Made to suit your life, not just the season.
