The moment hot summer temperatures arrive, the question of what to wear becomes even more pressing. What should you put on for a meeting so that you do not look out of place, and yet do not sweat unnecessarily? How do you combine leisurewear that is comfortable, does not leave you feeling too hot, and still looks elegant? And how do you deal with unwelcome sweat and its consequences? It is actually simple – just bet on quality fabrics.

1. What to wear on a hot summer day for an important meeting

The foundation of a man's formal wardrobe is a quality suit. For summer days, we recommend suits made of lightweight pure-wool cloth. The ideal option is a fabric that is crease-resistant and will survive a demanding working day full of travel. Complete the suit with a comfortable formal cotton shirt. The market also offers shirts made of pure cotton that is both breathable and has some stretch.

Such an outfit will give you a pleasant feel throughout the working day and a perfect look, no matter how many meetings you have to tackle.

2. Scorching days in the office – what to wear?

It depends on the dress code set at your company. What you can rely on 100 % are lightweight summer half-lined suits that look great and in which you will not roast. The partial lining lets you enjoy all the benefits of the excellent wool fabric as well as the impeccable craftsmanship of Blažek's tailors. Maximum comfort is guaranteed by high-quality wool, which may be blended with silk, mohair or linen. These blends give the fabric a subtle sheen, an even softer hand-feel, and a typically summery look.

Remember, light-coloured suits are also permitted in summer. For example, a suit in light shades of grey sandstone with a subtle large check in pure merino wool looks superb.

3. A casual corporate atmosphere in the summer months

If a more relaxed atmosphere reigns in your office during summer, you can head to work in a combination of lightweight summer trousers and a separate blazer. Add a light cotton shirt with an interesting pattern and you can create an original, playful summer outfit.

A superb option is a soft jersey blazer, which is as comfortable as a sweater and yet as elegant as a classic blazer.

4. An afternoon with friends or at the beach bar

If conditions and weather allow, it is best to spend summer by the water. Whether you make it to the sea or prefer a holiday at home, we recommend the combination of comfortable shorts and a summer shirt or T-shirt.

Do not forget to finish the outfit with comfortable walking shoes. A good choice is, for instance, a pair of quality leather sneakers.

5. The perfect swim shorts for summer leisure

This year's spring/summer collection has been enriched with a range of stylish swim shorts in top-quality fabrics. Maximum comfort is ensured by a refined cut as well as a fast-drying fabric. The playful patterns are inspired by a Mediterranean atmosphere full of colours and ripe fruits.
