Blue suits are a dime a dozen, so finding one that stands out from the navy crowd can be somewhat of an insurmountable feat. This summer, trying turning up the saturation and finding the in-between hue of cobalt & electric blue is the sweet spot. At this point, this isn’t rocket science, but, you’ll finally find a suit that will give you some much needed juice (that’s what the kids are calling it).

Outside of the refreshing color, it’s time to talk fabrics. You might be reaching for your favorite linen number as the heat turns up outside, but, think about investigating hopsackBy definition hopsack is: a loosely woven fabric (cotton, wool), often displaying a weave given a patterned square appearance. Technically speaking, think of hopsack as a rigid version of linen that is office appropriate.

Give it the sneaker + t-shirt remix. But, remember to keep the look simple. This isn’t the time to rock you favorite vintage band t-shirt. A trusty white, crewneck will get the job done — just be sure to tug on the collar a little.

With a loose weave texture, you’ll finally have a suit jacket that you can wear as a blazer. Adding a pair of slightly distressed jeans will break up the formality of the look and is the perfect pairing for a date night or “Casual Friday” kit. If you’re not sure how to make this look work, here’s a few tips:

  • If you’re going to wear a tie, go with a knit (silk/wool) or woven one. The textures will add to the casual vibe
  • When wearing a jeans with a blazer, make sure they are as tailored as your suits pants. The silhouettes should match up to complement each other
  • Lastly, a pair of loafers is a great way to ground this look without being too formal

Staying Grounded

Learning how to tame a heighten blue suit will be your key to making it work without feeling like a walking lightening bolt. When in doubt, add brown details to pull the look together (see knit tie & suede shoes). There are two directions to go with your brown details – chocolate or cognac

Work Ready = Chocolate Brown

Extra Panache = Cognac

To lessen the severity of the suit, pair a blue shirt in a lighter shade of blue.
