Summer is on its way and you want to make sure you have a wardrobe that works! It’s time to put away all those heavy coats and jackets, look at what you have left, and then realise that you really don’t have much left to wear!

What you need is a wardrobe refresh and the first thing you should be looking at is a summer suit – or, given the great prices available these days, more than one!

What do you look for in a summer suit? The sheer choice of suits, materials, styles and cuts is quite bewildering, but it also means there’ll be something you like, and easily in your budget. So, what do you look for in a summer suit? Let’s have a look at some sensible suggestions below!

The Summer Essentials

What you want in a suit will be your own personal choice, and that’s what makes looking for summer suits great! Do you want double or single-breasted?

Tweed or linen? What about the colour, and the fit? Tailored or off the peg? The simple fact is you will have your own preferences, so that’s your starting point.

Yet, there’s more to choosing a summer suit. Remember, you are looking at a suit to wear in the warmer weather. It might be for work, or it might be for nights out in the town, or perhaps you need one for a special occasion, like a friends wedding.

Whatever it is you want a suit for, you need to ensure that you take into account the summer weather, so tweed definitely might not be the best option, even if you love the look of it. Here are a few things to think about:

• Summer Doesn’t Mean Sloppiness: by this we mean you can go a little less formal and a bit more casual, yet still carry off the elegance and style that a great fitting suit brings to the party. Check out lighter materials such as linen, and check out lighter colours for that summer look.
• Lining: half-lined or unlined may be the way to go if you want the most comfortable and breathable suit. This is a choice that means you don’t compromise on style, yet feel great no matter how warm it might be.
• Check out Cotton: if linen is not your thing – for some people, and for some purposes, it can be a bit too casual – lean towards cotton as a breathable, wearable material for the summer suit. Just make sure that it fits nicely. 
• Two Piece is the Way: if you’re going to wear a suit in warm or hot weather for a long period of time, we suggest you don’t don the waistcoat! It can be left off and you’ll still look great! You need to let your body breathe and by going sans waistcoat, you will thank yourself for it as a tight-fitting torso piece is not ideal in heat.

That’s just a handful of suggestions when it comes to summer suits, so where do you go to buy your new outfits?

High Street or Online?

Where to buy your suit? The 21^st century has given us one very wonderful thing – online shopping! Now, some people are averse to shopping for clothes online, but if you hold that thought for a minute, we’ll show you some serious benefits.

As with all online shopping, the seller does not need a physical high-street outlet, which costs a lot of money in terms of rent, rates, power and upkeep. Instead, they have a website, and you get the added benefit of cost savings.

Then, there’s the time saved in being able to browse from home without spending the time it takes to get to where the shops are.

For a great example of a site selling summer suits – and a wide selection of clothing for both men and women - click here and you’ll see just how easy and convenient it can be.

There’s always a great range of summer suits online, in a wide range of superb designs, colours and styles. Buying your next suit couldn’t be easier, and what’s better than trying it on in the comfort of your own home?

Summer suits are great for casual wear, professional attire and more, so why not check them out now, and see how you can bring your wardrobe up to date for the summer months.

You really can’t go wrong, and like we said, you don’t have to sacrifice on style just because the weather is too hot to handle!
