As the temperatures rise and the sun beats down, maintaining a sophisticated style while keeping cool becomes a sartorial challenge. Blake Scott demonstrates 3 ways to navigate the heat without sacrificing your sharp look. Enter suit separates – the versatile solution to staying dapper in warm weather.

If you must wear a full suit, fabrics matter.
Opt for lightweight materials such as seersucker that’s meant to be breathable allowing air to circulate and keeping you cool throughout the day. Embrace its natural wrinkles and texture as part of the charm. Consider the Lakeshore Seersucker Navy Jacket paired with the Lakeshore Seersucker Navy Pant for a stylish duo.

Warm weather calls for a relaxed approach to tailoring. Ditch the structured suits in favor of a knit polo and breathable seersucker pant. A lightweight loose-knit polo like our Textured Rib Polo allows for greater freedom of movement and breathability, keeping you comfortable without compromising on style. Pair it with the Lakeshore Seersucker Navy Pant for a smart-casual ensemble that transitions seamlessly from work to leisure.

Layering is key to adapting to fluctuating temperatures. Add the Lakeshore Seersucker Navy Jacket for structure and polish, but feel free to skip the tie for a more relaxed look. Instead, opt for a full-placket polo and leave a few buttons unbuttoned. Finish off with lightweight trousers and loafers for a refined yet breezy outfit that keeps you cool from boardroom to bar.
Staying sharp in warm weather doesn’t have to be a challenge, thanks to the versatility of suit separates. By choosing lightweight fabrics, light colors, and embracing casual tailoring, you can create effortlessly stylish ensembles that keep you cool and comfortable all season long. So, ditch the heavy suits and embrace the art of styling suit separates for a summer-ready wardrobe that’s sure to turn heads wherever you go.
