A Guide To Seasonal Fabrics For Men’s Suits

Nothing is more frustrating than buying a suit you like and then realizing that the seasonal and weather conditions do not really allow you to go for it. But as they say, there is a solution for every single problem; you should be able to carry whatever style you like regardless of the time and month of the year.

While it’s true that most of the fabrics are suitable only for a particular season but you can always pick up an equivalent fabric that lets you flaunt your favorite style regardless of the season and still weave the same magic and be more comfortable.

To make the task easier for you, we have paired the fabric types that you can wear as a supplement to the other according to the season.

1.    Hopsack and Flannel
Hopsack is one of the most favorable fabrics among men to be tailored into a suit for summers. It is a lightweight blend of 20% linen, 30% silk and 50% wool. It’s loose and basket weaved texture gives it a cool, breathable property, which makes it the right choice for summer. The best winter equivalent for hopsack is flannel that gives more or less the same sense of style but with its property to provide warmth and soothe the roughened winter skin with its spongy feel.

                    

2.    Linen and Tweed
One thing that everybody hates about summer is sweatiness. Linen is one such fabric that is a solution to that irritating feeling due to its property to absorb moisture. And, one thing that makes it stand out is its wrinkly look. Tweed provides the same look and feel as that of Linen in addition to the appreciable warmth it provides in winters.

                    

3.    Silk and Velvet
What can be a better clothing choice for the exhaustive summer heat than a lightweight garment with a texture that soothes the skin? That is why silk is the most luxurious and celebrated choice for summer suits. On the other hand, if you are on a look out for a suit for a winter occasion, velvet is undoubtedly the best equivalent to silk. Besides its similar lustrous appearance to silk, it provides enough warmth to tolerate the cold winter winds.

                    

4.    Chino and Corduroy
Chino is a fabric woven out of 100% cotton. The famous cooling property of cotton is what makes chino one of the most desirable and suitable fabrics for summer suits. The best supplement to chino is a suit made of corduroy fabric. Corduroy is known for its long shelf life, comfort and unique rigged texture.
