It’s hot and sticky outside, yet cool and air-conditioned inside the office. So, what’s a gent to wear? Ah, summertime. Not only is it hard to get a professional look together for those important meetings and presentations on warm, humid days, but it can also be equally challenging to feel confident that your Casual Friday look isn’t too casual. Classic styles - like a blazer or button down up shirt– in lighter weight fabrics are always appropriate choices. Fabric technology has made seasonless wools lightweight and truly comfortable. And don’t shy away from work-right silhouettes made of linen. While it does wrinkle easier than other materials, high quality linens get soft creases that aren’t sloppy looking. You don’t want to have those seriously deep wrinkles all over your shirt or pants, but a slightly tumbled and worn look gives those structured business styles a summertime feel. Softer colors are also easy ways to update your go-to looks, so switch out that charcoal and black for beige or khaki. Replace a somber solid shirt with a colorful pattern. And when Friday rolls around, twill jeans or flat front cotton pants in light colors and a polo or bold button up will give you stylish comfort that is endlessly more professional than overly worn-in jeans and a t-shirt – save those for the weekends.
