Style tips: Summer-ready looks

As summer begins, and temperatures rise, wardrobes need to be updated via suits, jackets and shirts cut from cool, light and breathable fabrics. Whoever said you cannot look elegant under the scorching sun? To wear a suit in warmer temperatures, and wear it well, one must take a more casual approach and choose the kind of lightweight fabrics that allow the skin to breathe and are guaranteed to look flawless throughout the hottest hours of the day.

Here is Reda’s essential advice to achieve the perfect summer look for every occasion.

1.Working in the office or at home

The office often calls for elegant outfits with the right jacket and shirt combinations to keep you looking impeccable in meetings or with clients. A flawless look is just as important when working remotely and frequently being involved in video calls with bosses, clients and colleagues. Our suggestion is to opt for jackets crafted from a linen and wool blend that will keep you cool and prevent you from sweating. In the office, mismatched suits draw a more casual yet smart figure. The right linen wool for a summer jacket? Choose Reda 1865’s 126/3720 style, a fresh structured design that is comfortable, elegant and understated.

2. Out with friends

Meeting up with friends after a long day in the office or working from home is always a real treat. On such occasions, things should be kept informal and comfortable. Jackets can definitely be left behind but shirts remain the best option. The best way not to sweat is to opt for breathable fabrics that keep skin dry even on the hottest nights. Crafted from pure Merino wool, Reda Active’s shirt fabric is perfectly sweat-proof; its natural stretch also keeps it crease-free and looking flawless throughout the evening.

3. For a special date

Some special nights require going the extra mile. For a romantic dinner, a suit will speak volumes about your style and personality, and will need to match the context and occasion. A linen wool jacket provides a fresh and lightweight option. If you want to avoid looking too “done up”, pair it with a t-shirt. Should you opt for a tee, wear a suit in a single color; should you don a shirt, a mismatched style will feel more effortless.
