Working in summer can be a real challenge. Reunions, travels, client meetings… and yet, the thermometer reads 30 degrees. How can you stay elegant, professional, and comfortable? The answer lies in choosing a business suit designed for warmer weather, and above all, a made to measure suit from Ferala Luxembourg.
Choosing the right fabric for summer.
The choice of material is essential. Each fabric has its advantages and limitations, and it's important to adapt it to your intended use.
- Pure linen: extremely breathable, cool, and lightweight, with a fluid drape. Perfect for very hot days or outdoor activities, but it wrinkles more easily. Ideal for a relaxed summer look or less formal meetings.
- Lightweight cotton or a cotton-linen blend: soft and pleasant to wear, it offers breathability and comfort while remaining suitable for everyday use, even on busy days, but be mindful of wrinkling.
- Tropical wool or lightweight mohair: more structured and extremely breathable, they are perfectly suited to formal occasions, important meetings, and client appointments. These fabrics maintain their shape and impeccable appearance throughout the day.
Therefore, your choice depends on your schedule: less formal activities and travel? Opt for linen or lightweight cotton. Strategic meetings and client presentations? Choose lightweight wool or mohair to maintain a polished look.
Lightening the construction of your jacket.
For a summer suit, the fabric alone is not enough: the jacket's construction plays a crucial role in comfort and breathability. At Ferala Luxembourg, we offer several solutions to lighten your jackets while maintaining style and elegance:
- Half-lined jacket: The lining is limited to the upper chest and sleeves, stopping at the mid-back. This construction offers a good compromise between structure and lightness, allowing the jacket to breathe while maintaining a stylish drape.
- Butterfly-lined jacket: Here, the lining is only in the shoulders and sleeves, while the entire back remains open. The result: an extremely breathable, lightweight, and flexible jacket, ideal for warmer days while maintaining a sophisticated elegance.
- Fully unlined jacket: This option eliminates all lining to maximize lightness and breathability. The jacket's structure is more relaxed, giving it a casual style perfect for an informal summer suit or for situations where comfort takes precedence over a classic structured outfit.
These different techniques allow you to choose the jacket best suited to your needs, whether you're looking for a structured professional look or a more relaxed and airy style. Combined with lightweight, breathable fabrics, they transform your summer suit into a comfortable piece while maintaining the elegance and refinement that characterize Ferala Luxembourg.
The cut and comfort.
With fabrics like linen or lightweight cotton, it's essential to allow for a little extra room. The cut should be designed to allow air circulation, avoid any feeling of tightness, and offer optimal comfort throughout the day. For lightweight wool fabrics, the cut can remain closer to the silhouette without compromising breathability.
The finishing touches that make all the difference.
To complete your outfit, opt for cotton or linen shirts in light shades such as white, sky blue, or soft pastels. You can also add a polo shirt in lightweight knit under the blazer for a business-casual look. The idea is to remain elegant and professional while maximizing the thermal comfort and lightness of your outfit.
