Summer Cool Business Dress Strategy

In summer, you may want to take off your suit and pull your tie.

This is especially true in Asia, where humidity is usually as high as 90%.

Trunk Clothiers menswear store in London, Mats Klingberg, said: "dry and hot weather is usually okay, but it's hard to be dry and hot when it's hot and humid." Kleinberg

Here are some tips for keeping cool in the hot weather.

1, choose the right fabric.

G. Bruce Boyer, a fashionable historian, said that technological progress has made this choice easier. "Now there are hundreds of tropical special-purpose worsted fabrics available to choose from," Bruce Bruce said.

For example, Italy menswear brand Zegna (Ermenegildo Zegna) has developed a fabric called Cool Effect, which is made from Australian super fine wool and can resist the invasion of the sun.

The fabric has a unique processing and dyeing process, enabling dark fibers to have almost the same light reflection effect as white fibers.

In Zegna's 2011 spring and summer new products, the fabric was used for casual suits and formal suits.

Even the old fabric manufacturers in London, Holland & Sherry, started in 1836.

Boyle likes Holland & Sherry's new 7.5 ounce worsted wool fabric, which is "light and breathless and extremely wrinkle resistant."

The lightweight fabrics such as crepe, linen and cotton are also suitable for hot weather.

The book Gary Cooper: Gary Cooper: An Enduring Style, written by Boyle, will be published in October 2011. He called these fabrics "mainstream fabrics" for summer suits, but warned those who work in a conservative office environment to choose small ones, though they look beautiful but wrinkle easily.

Cotton shirts are the first choice for shirts.

Mark Cho, co-founder of Armoury menswear store in Hongkong, suggests knitting a cotton knitted fabric with light textures and a sense of texture. "Mark"

Although poplin is very popular, Mark said that the heavy spinning cotton might be a little too easy to stick to the skin.

2, do not liner.

Mark said that lining can make a casual suit more personal, but in the hot area of Asia, more layers of lining will make people sweat more, so "cloth can be less and less".

It is recommended to choose half clips or 1/4 clips. They only have lining on the inside of the front part of the coat, or no lining at all.

Mark's shop has several unlined sporty casual suits, priced between 18000 Hong Kong dollars and 20000 Hong Kong dollars (about 2300 to 2600 U.S. dollars), all Italy products, such as Liverano & Liverano and La Vera Sartoria Napoletana.

It also has a two piece set of Japanese brand Ring Jacket, which is priced in 9900 Hong Kong dollars.

3, costumes are concise.

He recommends avoiding double sleeved shirts and double breasted jacket, too thick tie is not suitable, or to wear a sleeveless bow tie.

Boyle said, as for shoes, lightweight sole shoes will make people feel refreshing.

In addition, light colored casual shoes, Derby shoes and carve leather shoes can also be considered. Mark said these are good alternatives to replace traditional black and brown shoes in winter.

However, it is also a good strategy to reduce outdoor time in summer.

In the case of Trunk Clothiers men's clothing store in London, he suggested putting a shirt and some wet napkins in his briefcase.

If you really want to go out, you can also play a part in the road without direct sunlight.
