BREATHE EASY IN SUMMER SUITS WITH LIGHTWEIGHT FABRICS
Managing the hot weather in summer is not an easy task. The temperatures and weather patterns have changed and are unpredictable these days. The only thing that you can do is adapt to the change by wearing summer-friendly clothes and staying hydrated. And now you know why we’re talking about lightweight and breathable fabrics for summer!
This blog briefly introduces to you the best summer fabrics for men’s suits. So, ensure you tailor three to four summer suits to save you from every searing season in the coming years.
Tips For Choosing Men’s Suit Fabrics For Summer
1. A lightweight fabric (240 – 270g per meter) is always recommended during summer. If not this light, at least go with the four-season cotton that weighs 290 – 320g.
2. Ensure the suit fabric you choose is made of natural fibers so that it does not add fuel to the fire in summer.
3. Choose light-colored fabrics (Maybe white, yellow, sky blue, or tan). And do not go with black as it absorbs all wavelengths and produces heat.
The best summer suit fabric must have an open weave. Meaning you can see light passing through it when lifted. Only these fabrics are breathable and can suffice the summer heat.
Best Summer Suit Fabrics
- Cotton
More than the casual look, this cotton fabric is much more comfortable to wear and breathe during summer. It is cooler, softer, and stiffer when men wear them as suits.
Types of cotton in fabrics include Pima, Egyptian, Chambray, Indian, and Flannel. Pima is the world’s finest cotton. Egyptian cotton is super fine and long. Chambray cotton has a fine and plain weave that resembles a denim-like finish. Indian cotton is also 100% cotton that specializes in ultra-fine handspun. Flannel cotton is a soft and breathable fabric.
- Linen
Like cotton, linen fabric is also made up of natural fibers and makes it soft for use. But more than cotton, these fibers are long. So, it can keep your body cooler than cotton.
A linen suit gives you a classy look when rightly paired with a shirt and shoes. Also, for summer weddings, linen fabrics are the first choice for their comfy and elegance.
- Solaro
This fabric has two colored worsted wool yarns woven to reflect the sun’s rays. The most common color of solaro fabric is beige-red. There are other color combinations as well. This is most suited for summers in the event of a party or wedding.
- Seersucker
Like other summer suit fabrics, this is also a 100% cotton-made fabric. The stripes pattern created on the fabric with white and another color makes it look exquisite and cool. This is also a breathable fabric for hot summers.
- Fresco
Fresco is a kind of woolen fabric that is known for its open weave. The word “Fresco” derives from the French word “Alfresco” meaning fresh air. Hence, this fabric is suitable for people who need highly breathable fabric for summer. It has highly twisted wool in its weave and thus gives a refined and royal look to the wearer.
Men who travel frequently can tailor a couple of fresco summer suits. It can be of great use to them in transit.
- Tweed
Tweed fabrics are known for their texture and stylish looks. Like other fabrics, it is also a lightweight and breathable fabric that perfectly meets the need of summer.
There are two types of tweed fabrics. One suits winter and another suits summer. The one that suits summer will have higher cotton in the fabric weaves. That makes the difference.
