Stay Cool and Sweat-Free: Mastering the Art of Wearing Suits in Hot Weather! 

It is a little bit of summer! But for men, withstanding this little bit is not that easy. Be it formal or casual, they ha to dress up and show up. That’s the reason we, at Bucco, are concerned. Here are some of our tips for mastering the art of wearing suits in hot weather! 

Unbutton your Suit

The easiest way to keep yourself cool and airy in the summer is to keep your suit unbuttoned. Of course, we understand that buttoning your suit gives it a great look. Nevertheless, no one is going to question you for not buttoning your suit in the hot weather. Not only does this keep you cool, but it also helps you not sweat excessively. 

So, try choosing single-breasted suits for summer. Because your suit must look elegant despite unbuttoning your jacket or waistcoat.

Well, how about unbuttoning your wedding-day suit? Here’s how you can style your summer wedding suit! 

Choose your jacket wisely

Most suit jackets or blazers will have a lining that lies in contact with your skin and the inner layer of the garment. It could either be half-lined or fully lined. On sunny days, you can carry yourself in a half-lined jacket, as it retains the suit structure and gives some space for your skin to breathe.  

On the other hand, wearing a fully lined jacket, though it gives a perfect silhouette, makes it harder for your skin to breathe. If you’re not worried about the structure, then you can choose to wear a jacket without lining (zero-lining).

The material and color of the fabric are key

Suits that are made up of natural fibers (cotton, linen, and wool) are summer-friendly. Because they are soft, comfy, and breathable. Choose cotton or linen-blended suits for informal occasions. And wool-based suits for formal occasions. More about breathable fabrics here!

As per light absorption principles, darker colors tend to absorb more light than lighter colors. In turn, the former gets heated up quickly. So, avoid wearing dark-hued suits (especially black), as they absorb and transfer heat to your skin, making you feel hotter. In summer, go in light or pastel shades like tan, light gray, light blue, pink, pale green, etc. 

Wearing the right dress shirts

During warm days, you may feel annoyed by your dress shirts. Because the dress shirt’s sleeves lying underneath your suit may cause serious sweating, Tearing off the sleeves and wearing a suit over them could be the best solution. Hilarious! But, jokes apart, you’ve got to wear a 100% natural fiber dress shirt to not let the above happen. 

Regular or loose-fit suits are better

As you know, the suit layers (overcoat, waistcoat, and shirt) are really a bothersome factor in summer. And you cannot avoid them and dress up at least in a two-piece (without a waistcoat). In this case, avoid wearing slim-fit suits. 

Only go with regular or loose-fit suits and blazers. They can give you the best ventilation in spite of the hot weather.
