Yes, You Can Pull Off A Suit In The Summer—Here’s How

If the idea of a suit sounds too stifling for summer, listen up. Lightweight fabrics, relaxed shapes and modern details are making the tailored wardrobe staple manageable in warm weather. Neutral tones, pastel shades and vibrant pops of color also lead the way for a decidedly easy feel—for more interest, consider a poppy floral print or cutout accents for ventilation —coming in a range of silhouettes from slightly oversized to slinky and trim. Linen is, of course, the most breathable fabric, while silky variations feel cool to the touch. As your base layer, T-shirts and tanks are impeccably effortless. When accessorizing, shoes like pool slides, lace-up sandals, flat loafers and slip-on mules keep two-piece sets easy. Fresh beauty is the finishing touch—air-dried waves, a slick bun or ponytail and barely-there makeup will continue the nonchalant theme. Since we can’t wear sundresses and shorts every day of the week, we’re spotlighting 10 stylish summer suits for every budget ahead. Refined summer style is simpler than you think.
