Staying Cool and Professional In Warm Weather
Warm weather can present challenges for maintaining a professional appearance in work attire. Certain fabrics and styles can help balance comfort and presentation:
Choose Lightweight Materials
Prioritize lightweight, breathable fabrics like linens, textured wools, and high-tech moisture wicking materials. Avoid heavy materials like tweed or polyester blends.
Layer Strategically
Use light undershirts and shirts with breathable structures underneath. Shed layers as needed for comfort. Aim fortrim silhouettes to avoid bulky additions.
Consider Lighter Colors
Lighter colors tend to be cooler than black and darker shades. Greys, tans, light blues can still appear professional while minimizing heat absorption.

What fabrics tend to be coolest for suits?
Lightweight wools, linens, and high-tech moisture wicking blends allow maximum breathability. Avoid thick fabrics like tweed or heavy polyester which trap heat.
Should I forego a suit jacket in hot weather?
Consider removing the jacket when possible if appropriate for your work environment. But have it on hand in case needed. Swapping a formal jacket for an unlined cotton or linen blazer can also help.
What colors make the most sense in summer?
Lighter greys, tans, and lightweight navy suits tend to stay coolest in warmer months. Dark suits absorb and trap more heat from the sun.
