The Best Looking Formal Wear to Keep You Cool This Summer

Summer is the perfect season for experimenting with your suit game—a time to standout in lightweight fabrics and vibrant colors. By contrast, it’s also a terrible season for wearing the same two charcoal and black suits you got in a two-for-one for your buddy’s wedding. We’re all for a good bargain, but even more so, we’re all for keeping you cool and making you look exceptionally nice to stare at this summer. Allow the following to jumpstart that endeavor.
