TOUCHPOINT
Tactile fabrics make their presence felt this season. At Dunhill, the suit gets an update in velvet coloured a deep, rich green. Velvet tuxedo suit and wool turtleneck, from Dunhill. Leather shoes, from Polo Ralph Lauren.
EASY DOES IT
How do you make a suit appear less buttoned up? For Ermenegildo Zegna, one of the answers this season is the use of drawstrings to give shape to its jackets. Wool suit with drawstring, and cotton kimono shirt, from Ermenegildo Zegna Couture.
GREY AREA
As professional dress codes become more relaxed, the suit has taken on new life. One of its modern incarnations: a go-to for off-duty occasions. Wool suit and wool sweater, from Boss.
DOUBLE VISION
For this season, Hermes gives its man a leaner, longer form with a double-breasted jacket that has a higher button stance, closing higher on the chest.Wool suit, cashmere sweater and cotton shirt, from Hermes.
LINEAR THEORY
Sometimes, a little detail is all you need to distinguish a suit from the many others out there. Contrast stitching makes this black wool version a simple standout.Wool suit and wool turtleneck, from Fendi.
TRUE CLASSIC
It takes sartorial commitment (and in our climate, a heat-resistant constitution) to don the three-piece, but the results are certainly worth the effort.Three-piece wool suit, cotton shirt, silk tie and leather shoes, from Polo Ralph Lauren.
SEASONAL SHADE
