As the Dutch say: “The summer is standing in front of the door”. Summer is coming. But, how do you dress sharply for the office, a wedding or any other social event during the hot summer season? What should you look for in order to appear stylish, professional and appropriate during the summer?
What to look for in a summer suit
The most important features in a summer suit are the fabric and weave, the construction of the jacket and the color of the suit.
Whipcord Suiting Fabrics and Cloth
Whipcord cloth is very much like gabardine, but the yarn is bulkier and much more pronounced
It is very durable, rugged and stands hard usage and wear. In time, it shines a bit with wear. Some times the back is napped for warmth. It is called whipcord because it simulates the lash of a whip. Whipcord is often used for topcoats, uniform cloths, suitings, equestrian and other sportswear.
The Windowpane
The windowpane worsted has always featured low among the rank and file, while its standing with the well-starched set has never been higher
Rarely found hanging around average retail climes, the windowpane suit, when it did make one of its rare appearances on a selling floor, tended to overstay its welcome. As a result of its commercial disabilities, most men remain unfamiliar with the windowpane’s insider charisma.
