The linen suit
Turns out some of the finest linen in the world doesn’t come from Italy. Hundreds of miles away from Milan’s fashion houses on the rural northern coast of Ireland is Ballymena -- home to the fabric mills of Baird McNutt. The designers at J.Crew have teamed up with this nearly century-old operation to offer its incredibly affordable (and breathable) linen in a suit with all the modern trimmings: slimmer cut, narrow lapels, shorter jacket length, and flat-front trousers. Sold as separates with a matching vest thrown into the mix, the options are as endless as the days of summer.
The white suit
The simplicity of a bright white suit proves that less is definitely more. And the same applies for how you should wear it. Anything black, too saturated, or worse, a Don Johnson-esque T-shirt cheapens the look. Even the leaner cut of this suit may not be enough to avoid a mid-'80s flashback, so stick with safer solid shirts in muted tones of blue and purple. Prints and solids in richer colors can also be an option, but only if you’re sartorially inclined toward tastes north of South Beach.
The seersucker suit
Seersucker has always been somewhat of a joke among people from north of the Mason-Dixon. It’s worn in a trouser here or a jacket there, but never the complete candy-striped suit. Among Southerners the story is completely different. For them, seersucker is a way of life. It’s a sign of sophistication and the mark of a gentleman -- not to mention totally practical in 90 degree heat. This version from conservative clothier Brooks Brothers has a surprisingly trimmer fit. The suit reads as a neutral, so almost any of your usual shirt-tie combos will work. And while you’re appropriately attired sipping on sweet tea, everyone else can sweat it out in their unconscionable wool wardrobe.Read on for more: http://www.askmen.com/
