TailorU's Tips on Being Cool in Summer (1)

I. Choose fabrics that breathe.

Cotton, linen and other natural fibers breathe and are good at absorbing moisture. Nylon and polyester are heat traps, although the new microfiber is said to breathe. With its natural ability to breathe, wool is better than poly, especially in tropical weight wool suits.

Broadcloth cotton dress shirts will be cooler than the heavier weave oxford.

This is the season for Seersucker, but is it appropriate for the office? Seersucker suits recall a more leisurely era, of old money Southern gentlemen sipping mint juleps on the veranda of their plantations, not exactly a strong business image.

Likewise, Linen, because of it’s guaranteed-to-wrinkle ability, maybe best for social or after work occasions. You just have to use your good judgment in evaluating your specific business situation.

Khaki colored suits of cotton, poplin or tropical weight wool are acceptable for work and play during the heat of the summer.
