WHAT IS A GOOD TIME TO DITCH YOUR SUMMER JACKET?

When the temperature is rising (as expected!), taking off your summer jacket is a respite for sure. And what a sigh of relief it is for most! The summers anyway aren’t bound by strict and fastidious rules. Though it’s a good thing to be in complete control of your wardrobe, the summer is all about uncertainties, especially if the environment you’re in is highly formal; therefore, it can be tough to understand when it is ok to flex the tailoring rules.

At the office:
Are you gonna ditch your jacket in the office? Are you serious? Just cut the crap, man—not even when the mercury level is unbearably high and you’re uncomfortable wearing your full shirt, not to mention counterproductive. Shirt sleeves are also not welcome, particularly in offices where traditional outfit is the order of the day.

WHAT IS A GOOD TIME TO DITCH YOUR SUMMER JACKET?
It’s always better to check with the senior members of the team if you need to take off the jackets, though you may feel it is the right thing to do. Don’t be tempted to take off your jacket if you’re feeling uncomfortable. You can remove your jacket at your own desk, but ought to put it on again to attend a client meet or huddle with the team to update the project’s progress.

At a wedding
Whether you want to ditch your jacket at a wedding or not depends upon how formal the wedding is. The extra-cautious wise ones (and so they are called) always take the safer side and keep their jacket on during the event. So, what is considered acceptable in case you need to remove your jacket? I recommend removing your coat after the ceremony is over, and all the formal photo snaps have been taken. Okay. Now say cheese!

What about at the funeral?
Removing your jacket at the funeral can be very tricky. Even when the heat literally becomes excruciating, most gentlemen will ensure they stay put with their jacket on during a funeral service as a mark of reverence. Again, depending on the formality and location of the proceedings, it is always advisable to take off your jacket at the reception. Again, it is recommended to look to the more senior members of the family to check what is really considered acceptable. So, what next?
