Your calendar is filled up with summer weddings, reopened office business meetings, and IRL cocktail hours — and quickly. For formal occasions when only your best will do (even getting dressed for a first date qualifies), step out in style with one of the best lightweight summer suits. If it feels jarring at first to even think about wearing a suit after a year and change of much more leisurely dressing, you’re not alone.
While it might take you just a bit to rev up your engine and start dressing more formally, it helps if you’re equipped with the right tools. In this case, your toolbox should include a lightweight, breathable, breezy summer suit. Today’s suiting brands are making formal jackets and pants filled with stretch and comfortable material, not all that different from your work-from-home sweatpants.
