With the arrival of warmer weather, the summer suit becomes much more than just an outfit: it embodies the perfect marriage of elegance and comfort. The Helios collection by Loro Piana is designed to meet this requirement. Its key feature? The renowned Solaro fabrics, instantly recognizable by their subtle iridescent effect, often in khaki and brick tones, which capture the light and bring a vibrant and refined dimension to each suit.
The history and engineering of Solaro fabric.
Originally, Solaro fabric was developed to meet the needs of the British Army in the tropics. Designed to protect from the sun and withstand extreme heat, it uses a herringbone weave and two yarn colors, traditionally beige and red, which not only enhanced its resistance to sunlight but also created its unique visual effect, shimmering with the changing light.
Today, Solaro fabric has evolved and is available in a diverse range of colors, from classic khaki to bolder shades, while retaining its lightness and breathability, making it ideal for a summer suit. Its lightweight structure promotes air circulation and offers a flawless drape, even in intense heat. This textile expertise is what makes Loro Piana's Helios collection so renowned.
Xavier and the relaxed style of summer suit.
Xavier perfectly illustrates how to wear a modern summer suit while remaining elegant and comfortable. He chose to mix and match his outfit to break the formality:
- Helios jacket: relaxed fit, patch pockets, and a tab on the collar, with a patterned lining that adds character and lightness to the ensemble.
- Matching trousers: high-waisted with the side adjusters and a relaxed fit for greater comfort and freedom of movement during the summer. The fabric of the trousers is slightly lighter than that of the jacket, while still maintaining a cohesive color scheme.
- Striped shirt: an extra touch of color that energizes the outfit and illustrates how accessories and patterns can transform a classic suit into a refined summer look.
This combination demonstrates that a made to measure summer suit, even a lightweight and breathable one, can remain elegant while offering freedom of movement and optimal comfort.
And if you prefer a complete suit ?
The Helios suit is suitable for all occasions: outdoor weddings, business events, or evenings on the terrace. The lightweight fabrics and flowing cut allow you to remain elegant while staying comfortable. Mixing and matching jacket and trousers or playing with subtly patterned shirts offers stylistic freedom to create unique looks without sacrificing chic.
