SUMMER IN A SUIT

I am writing this blog post while sitting in a Japanese bullet train from one big city to another. Having travelled a fair amount of this World, I’ll say, I’ve never before seen a place where 95% of men in the city wear suits, until now. I know that in Japan careers are the priority, people work almost night and day and some sleep 2-4 hours at night. But I am not going to talk about the way Japanese live their lives. I am here to talk about what they wear.

At first it was so unusual for me to see the majority of people on the street wearing suits, but what bothered me was that all the suits looked exactly the same. Everyone was wearing a black or grey suit! I am not aware if there is a strict dress code rule in the offices of Tokyo and Osaka, if so – then I apologise. All these men in black and grey looked boring. Particularly since temperatures in Japan were screaming summer, but the suits didn’t look anything like summer suits. So, I believe, that the world of custom suits in Japan still has a long way to go. Although in Japan there is no excuse for sloppy attire, I strongly believe you can still look elegant and suitable for the business environment while having a vibe of ease and relaxation.

No matter the weather, it is always important to look professional, appropriate and well, stylish. We, at LGFG Fashion House, see summer time as a great opportunity to try different colours and fabrics. Wondering what to wear to stay cool and look cool during the year’s hottest season? We can help with that!

Change darker colours to lighter tones. The base of every gentlemen’s wardrobe should include black, navy and dark grey suits. For your summer suits opt for light greys, khaki tones, and different tones of beige. Lighter tones reflect the heat instead of absorbing it.

In selecting the perfect summer suit, it’s especially important to pay attention to the construction of the suit. This will determine its weight, texture and breathability. Opt for an unlined or half-lined suit. This will let your body get more air and breathability. Also, choose lighter weight fabrics that have a looser weave.

LGFG Fashion House has an excellent choice of summer fabrics and our tailors have great ideas to introduce to you. Also if you have any questions regarding style they are more than happy to help you out! For more information contact our Executive Clothiers HERE.
