There is probably no better natural material than linen for your summer outfits. Its exceptional coolness and freshness makes it a must have for this time of the year.
Some of the traditional colors for the season would be white, ivory and tan; but don't be afraid to pick dark colors too like brown or grey.
In regards to styles, we have added a couple good examples from the runways to show you that trends include both single breasted and double breasted jackets.
Consider these designer choices...
Fedora hat with printed band coordinating with the t-shirt; two piece suit with a 2-button jacket, trims in contrasting colors, chest pocket and two side pockets, baggy pants and casual shoes in matching colors.
CORNELIANI
Double breasted jacket with 6 front buttons, scarf, straight classic pants and loafers without socks.
