As we cruise through spring, we are gearing up for the sunshine of summer and the wardrobe shift that we love so much. Gentlemen, we are talking to you today. As the summer months draw near, the hot weather is not far behind. The thought of wearing a heavy tuxedo in 90 degree weather does not sound very comfortable to me at all… Today we are sharing some tips from The Art of Manliness on how to most comfortably wear formal attire in the summer months.
A Guide to Summertime Formal Attire
Trousers- Tropical wools or high end cotton weaves should be the fabrics you look for in a good pair of summer dress trousers.
Dress Shirt- Most men know to select cotton, but few realize the fabric make-up is only a part of the equation for staying cool. Search for weaves and weights that allow cotton to do what you want it to do – transmit the moisture and heat from your body right out to your surrounding environment.
Handkerchief – It’s not just for your nose, and the handkerchief does a much better job of cleaning off sweat than your shirt sleeve.
Stylish and Functional Hats- Panamas, Straw Fedoras, Tilleys, and Linen Caps are great options available and made from plant fibers and woven in a way that they can block light, retain their shape, and allow airflow.
We did a little window shopping at our beloved Mr. Porter to find a little summer time inspiration for our men.

I spent a little time on one of my favorite sites to window shop, Net-A-Porter. Their wedding boutique is like none other. Looking for inspiration? They have all that a fashion forward girl needs to be styled for the big day!
PS… Don’t fret gentlemen, Net-A-Porter will soon be launching their men’s boutique, Mr.Porter.
