SUMMER SUITING WITH PAUL SMITH
Whether you’re on the hunt for a three-piece suit that will see you through the summer wedding season, a lightweight option for office days or simply looking to spruce up your evening attire, Paul Smith has reimagined suiting as you know it, elevating it to a new height.
When you’re daydreaming of bright blue skies, soft sandy beaches and
rising temperatures, perhaps the last thing you can imagine wearing is a suit. And
understandably, so. Up until now, suits have been associated with restricting elements and
weighty fabric but that’s exactly where Paul Smith comes in.
Tailoring has been at the heart of Paul Smith since 1970, when the company was founded. Crafted
using traditional techniques and the finest materials, today, Paul Smith has revolutionised the
world of suiting once again with its seasonal take on tailoring. Designed with summer in mind,
the brand’s selection of suits includes options for all occasions, be it a July wedding or board
meeting. Think tapered trousers with double-vent backs offering a lean silhouette and ease of
movement, mid-rise waistbands serving to elongate the legs for a flattering finish and linen
slim-cut iterations with neat, breathable fits and a breezy sensibility.
Whichever way you plan on going, Paul Smith’s elevated take on summer suiting has all bases
covered. Keep scrolling for the best summer suits and how to style them…
THE SUIT
Summer suits, in contrast to their cold weather-friendly counterparts, should be by their very nature; lighter, cut from more porous fabrics, such as linen, silk, or fine merino wool, and styled in pale, sun-reflecting shades.
THE SHIRT
To remain smart but with a cool air of informality, style a traditional suit (see above) with a slim-cut shirt. Equally, to dress it down for a more casual setting: switch the formal shirt for a lightweight tee from the brand’s younger label PS Paul Smith.
THE ACCESSORIES
Oscar Wilde once said, “A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life,” and we agree. A great tie can make all the difference when elevating a simple suit. Not wearing a shirt? Try a belt. Worn with a tucked-in trouser, it actually becomes the unsuspecting star of your look.
