PUT IT IN NEUTRAL
A neutral suit is a timeless essential for any true Sartorialist.
Choose from a variety of classic tones like traditional tans, earthy linens, and crisp whites for a summer suit that speaks your language. Draw inspiration from seasoned experts, adopting elements that resonate with you and envisioning how they can become uniquely yours.
Proportion Play
Peter Zottolo elevates his breezy style by opting for a relaxed-fit cream linen suit, complete with a double-breasted jacket and generously proportioned trousers.
Mixing breathable fabrics like linen with relaxed silhouettes introduces an element of effortlessness - it’s still tailored and refined, but not constricting or stuffy. Casual sophistication, baby.
Double Trouble
For those inclined towards a more traditional tailored look when venturing into summer suits, consider going for a simple pattern like pinstripes or herringbone.
Transition seamlessly from the office to after-work happy hour by pairing your classic silhouetted suit with contemporary pieces like a 70s-inspired camp-collar shirt or an open-collar linen button-down.

Neutrals, neutrals, and…more neutrals.
Picture your suit as the foundation, and your accessories as complementary shades stemming from that palette. Aim for a shirt and tie in a similar tone, but with just the right amount of contrast to add dimension and intrigue into the look.

When all else fails, elevated basics will never let you down. Stick to the classics, just like you do with navy and grey during the fall and winter months. A light linen jacket offers the perfect foundation for your summer wardrobe.
