Summer weight suit fabric.

Some of the best fabrics for summer are. It has all the positive attributes of wool but the lighter weight. Perfect as the go to fabric weight for most days. In tropical weights like 7 5 ounces or lighter wool is an excellent if surprising option for warm weather.

But as you refresh your look this season there s more to keep in mind than color trends and what denim is in this season. The lighter your fabric is the more breathable and summer suited your suit will be. Cotton suits are going to be a little bit different because the fabric is thicker than in linen suits. If you are looking for the structure formality and professionalism of a business suit we recommend you opt for the heaviest weight in which you can still be comfortable.

Just like linen cotton is a natural material so it will still provide comfort and breathability. Minding the material your suit is made of will also help to keep you cool as lighter weight cloth and a looser weave in the fabric will provide for more airflow and minimize heat. Everything from worsted flannel and tweed which are perfect for cold weather to tropical weight wool that breathes like linen. When you wear a suit in the summer you want to go for a looser fit.

The wool used to make a tweed suit might be 300 400 gsm while a summer weight wool would be closer to 200 gsm. Regardless of fabric seek out suits with half or eight linings as these will allow you to ventilate a bit more easily. During the colder months tweed wool and cashmere suits are appropriate as the material not only looks structured and professional but also. If you are looking for something to wear all season or when purchasing your first suit stick to a wool in the 210 230 gsm range.

The main disadvantage to using a lightweight worsted wool in a suit is that won t drape nearly as well as a heavier fabric. As summer approaches it s the perfect time to reevaluate your wardrobe and consider losing a layer. Choose this for your first suit purchase. The safest way to ensure you re buying something in the correct weight is to look at the individual fabric rather than immediately buying from a mills 4 season book.

For summer a lightweight worsted is a great choice for a suit though it isn t as breathable as a tropical or a fresco wool fabric. Just like with cotton there are many different types of wool fabric. While a flawlessly tailored suit will be in style all year long the fabric in question is where it gets a bit more seasonal.
