5. Lightweight Ties
Formal/office wear can quickly become stifling in the summer if you don’t get your materials right. Tailoring is one aspect of the male wardrobe that almost dictates that it is split into seasonal halves.
Of course, a warm-weather tie is not going to make you feel noticeably cooler in the heat – the suit and shirt made from breathable cotton, linen or tropical wool will do that – but applying this same lightweight, textured approach to your entire ensemble shows style consistency and will mark you out as a man that pays attention to the finer details.
As a perennial spring/summer accessories trend, lightweight neck wear is actually timeless move and something you will continue to get good wear out of for many years to come. Cotton, linen or, if you must persevere with silk, knitted ties should be the only thing hanging on your rack once the temperatures begin to rise.
Wear them for weddings, in the office and for any other occasion that requires you to knot up when the sun is out.
