Cotton suits



It's a dilemma faced by men the world over. How does one stay sharp while the sun blazes overhead? She's a tough one. All around you stand guys wearing the wrong stuff. Looking comfortable wearing the wrong stuff. Singlets, board shorts, jandals. But you can't close a business deal in singlets, board shorts or jandals. Worry not. We've got your answer: cotton suits.

Like their woolen counterpart, cotton suits look, feel and act like a suit. They're structured, hold their shape, look great with a shirt, tie and leather shoes, but that's about where the similarities end. Cotton suits are cool. They're breathable. They won't leave you sweating all over the show. They're more casual than a woolen suit, which is perfect for summer. They come in a plethora of different colours like beige (pictured above), navy blue, brown, and you get away with it because they're cotton. But best of all, they have a very European air to them. Do you know who wears cotton suits in summer? James Bond, that's who. Case closed.

One last thing. If you don't feel like wearing the full suit, or a shirt and tie, or even your business shoes, that's fine. Split it up. Wear the jacket with a good pair of jeans, or the pants with a short sleeve shirt. Try the suit with a polo shirt and leather sandals. The possibilities are endless.
