1 Piece/3 Ways: The New Blue Suit

Published on June 23rd, 2012

Firstly, my apologies for the slow posts lately.

We’ve been spending too much time working on the layout and functionality of the new site and not enough shooting content. The good news is we’re making awesome progress. The new site is very exciting and innovative. It will bring a whole new level to TheStyleBlogger. It’ll be worth the wait!

Looking for a new suit to add to your summer wardrobe?

It doesn’t have to be cotton or linen. Lightweight wool can breathe just as well (or better) and perform more similarly to your go-to “4 season” suits.

Consider a lighter shade of blue, like this cross between cobalt and royal. It’s the equivalent to your solid navy suit, but for the warmer months.

Here’s three ways to mix it up.

 

1. All Business

If you have to go full corporate on a hot summer day, an unlined jacket in wool under 8oz is one of your best options.

It doesn’t have to blend in with the usual pack of dark suits. The warmer the weather, the more color is typically “accepted” in a man’s wardrobe.

Like navy, it will work with most of your business shirts (white, light blue, pink, lavender, etc).
