One day, we’ll show off fits in real life again, even if it takes a little re-learning along the way. The Highsnobiety Summer Style Guide is here to help, ensuring that lightweight pieces still result in heavyweight looks.

Summer suits are one of the most difficult styling choices — but they're a necessity. While we may live in short shortssocks and sandals, and other casualwear for most of the warmer months, there are a few occasions where something a touch smarter will be called upon.

But how to choose a summer suit? Crucially you need to look at fit, fabric, and color to turn a suit into summer-appropriate clothing — think natural fabrics like linen and cotton, light colors like white and blue, and loose, oversized tailoring. Because let's face it, suits in the summer can be hot and awkward, so keeping your winter one on just won't cut it. However, if done right, and thanks to those aforementioned materials, this is when the suit can be at its absolute best.

From summer suits for weddings, work dos, or a boujie get-together, we've gathered the best summer suits for men that balance weather-appropriate construction and on-trend aesthetics. Below, browse a sage silk suit Lemaire, a classic navy version from SÉFR, or go the unexpected route with a purple short suit from Needles.

In a moody blue that sits somewhere between navy and grey and coming in a wool blend, Sefr's suit is a good choice for colder summer climates. Cut similarity to Lemaire, it's also a slightly more budget-friendly option if you're looking for that silhouette.
