While cotton and linen suits are traditional choices for warm weather, this article advocates for wool as a practical and superior alternative. Wool not only absorbs and evaporates moisture effectively, regulating body temperature in heat, but its open weave makes it lightweight and airy. Key terms such as 'tropical' and 'fresco' signify the right kind of wool for summer wear. The author suggests that wool's advantages over cotton and linen include better breathability, less tendency to crease, and superior odor management, making wool a strong contender for formal summer attire.
When I tell people about it, the very idea confounds them; I reach for wool. Yes, wool. That quintessential cold-weather insulator.
But counterintuitive as it may seem, wool is a profoundly practical warm-weather go-to. It absorbs and evaporates moisture more effectively than most other textiles.
Look out for terms like tropical, fresco, and high-twist, all of which are good indicators that you're getting the right kind of wool.
A cotton or linen suit, on the other hand, especially a fully lined one, is going to block that blessed midday breeze.
