subject: Bespoke Summer Suits For Men [print this page] With the days becoming lighter and longer, we can now turn our backs on winter and begin to look forward to summer. Our thoughts of summer are bright colours, cooling winds and more relaxed attitudes. And that is exactly what you should expect from your bespoke summer suit.
The nature of bespoke tailoring means that you can choose what you want from your bespoke summer suit and it should reflect the essence of summer itself.
The fabric of the suit should reflect the colours we normally find in summer. Why not choose lightweight blues and navies, or even push the summer boat a bit further and go for stripes or ivory finishes.
The cooling cloths we look for in a bespoke summer suit can be found in cottons, linens and seersucker fabrics. Seersucker fabric is a special cloth offering a wrinkled affect and is made from lightweight cotton; perfect for those hot summer days.
And approach your bespoke summer suit like you do the summer; relaxed and comfortable for you. It is an opportunity to pack away the more rigid and upright bespoke business suits and to exchange them for more relaxed jackets and trousers.
Highly developed brands are making big advances in summer-appropriate suiting. These interesting new blends and thinner yarns make it possible to create suits that are fresher, lighter and so much cooler.
In some countries, smartly dressed men shrug off regular summer temperatures above 30C. In the past, it was difficult to wear a suit in the summer, but we now have a cotton-silk blends and seersuckers which make for a refreshing summer suit.
In the UK, it seems like some of these messages about summer suits are getting through - just very slowly. There are so many disasters out there wearing their heavy winter suits in the summer, but attitudes are slowly changing. Young men still want sharp tailoring as part of their wardrobe mix. The best way to cope with the summer is to start separating your suits. Then tailoring can be much more adaptable.
