In his last appearance, Brad Pitt just gave us the keys to wear a suit during the hot months. Single buttoned, light tones and two buttoned shirt buttons.
The ideal suit for summer is the single-breasted one. This is because since it has less fabric than three-piece suits (jacket + pants + vest) and double-breasted jackets, it is the coolest option for hot weather.
In addition, single-breasted suits do not cause that careless effect when wearing the jacket open, something that does tend to occur with other styles, especially with double-breasted jackets.

The cloth
Undoubtedly, betting on light fabrics will always be in favor of your comfort when it comes to choosing a suit for the summer. Touch is your best ally to determine if the fabric is suitable for high temperatures. If you prefer to stick with labels, look for linen, cotton, or seersucker. Mixed with wool, silk and cashmere are also excellent options.
The cut
The slim fit style continues to be the most popular. And it is not surprising, since it is very flattering when creating a slim and well defined silhouette. However, in recent months we have witnessed a resurgence of the baggy suits that were worn in the 80s and 90s, albeit with a fresh air. Its main advantage in summer is that, by leaving more space between the fabric and the skin, they are cooler.

Color
Summer is an ideal time to wear light colors (cakes are also a trend this season). If sobriety is your thing, black remains a safe bet at any time of year, while if you want a balance between both extremes, consider blue in its most vivid tones.

Dress code
As surprising as it may sound, there are times when a suit just doesn't live up to the relevance of the occasion. No matter how summer it is, if you are going to attend an event, usually at night, in which black-tie has been stipulated as dress code, you will need a tuxedo. Also known as a dinner suit, you can apply the same buttoning rules, but when it comes to fabric, cut and color, this type of suit plays in a separate league. Wool is used and the color options are much smaller. Typically, black, midnight blue, or white is used.
