Blue: A Summer Staple For Work

Thomas Pink's premiere shirting quality and long standing heritage in fine fabrics make this shirt not only great-looking, but a great investment. The combination of grey and varying shades of blue on a white ground will give a modern look to any navy or grey suit. Finish the outfit by picking up any of the blue colors in your tie choice. (Check out Nordstrom’s video when you click through, to learn more about the fit.)

This handsome sport jacket from Michael Kors has classic versatility, but is oh so modern, with its trimmer fit and bolder blue. It's great for those hot summer days when you still want to wear a jacket to the office, since it's a cotton blend. Pair it with the Thomas Pink shirt to the left and trousers or jeans and it will easily take you from a day in the office to a casual night out.

Burberry is known for their iconic plaid, but redone in the blue of the season, it gets new life. Because the pattern still uses black and tan, it will work easily with a formal black suit to a tan linen one, and everything in between.

Canali clothes are made in Italy, and the craftsmanship is visible in all of their pieces. This blue check pattern has a subtle red throughout that gives it a little pop of summer. Therefore, you can pair it with a red tie  - or opt to keep it more conservative with a navy patterned tie  - to complete your suit.

The blue in this timeless tie easily coordinates with a classic blue dress shirt, making it a great way to bring in a pop of sunny yellow. Pair these pieces with a great navy suit, and you are out the door!

The plaid in this Robert Talbott dress shirt compliments any and all browns and beiges. So, we find a lot of uses for it in the summer to wear with our beige linen and tan cotton suits.

This modern dot print shirt from Ledbury can easily stand on it's own for a more casual work look, with its subtle interest and detail. Available in classic or trim fit, it will look great with charcoal trousers or dark denim jeans. If you don't know Ledbury, they are all about shirts - it's the staple of their line. So the fit is great, and the Italian fabrics and mother-of-pearl buttons reflect their top notch quality.

This lightweight sweater from Vince is perfect over a sport shirt for a business casual look. And in a cotton/cashmere blend, you don’t have to worry about getting too hot on those warm days.
