Sarah LafargeSummer's snappiest suits
Something special happens when you put on a well-fitting suit: it's an instant confidence boost. Finding your perfect suit for summer can be tricky, but we're here to help. Lighter fabrics, like cotton and linen, are best for summer suits as they'll be cool and breezy when the temperature soars. If you're looking for a suit to wear to a hot weather wedding, we love this fashion forward double-breasted linen suit. It's made from our crease-resistant Linen Miracle fabric, which has an easy-to-iron finish so you'll look sharp no matter how late the party goes. Wear with the matching trousers, which are made from the same clever fabric, and finish with the waistcoat for a truly smart look. For another lightweight summer suit option, check out this pure linen jacket and trousers from Hawes & Curtis. A subtle herringbone patterns creates an elegant look. Add the finishing touch with one of our ties.
Make them green with envy
News flash: your suit doesn't have to be black, cream, or navy. A summer wedding or party can be a great occasion to experiment with a more colourful suit. Keep things modern and sophisticated in our moss green Thorpe jacket and trouser combination from our M&S Originals range, which draws inspiration from our archives. It's made from a cotton-rich herringbone, which will look and feel cool in the heat. We think it's the perfect choice for a destination wedding. Wear with a white linen shirt for smart occasions, or a T-shirt for more casual soirees. Mix and match the jacket and trousers with your favourite wardrobe staples to get maximum wear – we'll be styling the trousers with a T-shirt for effortless everyday style. This Autograph suit also comes in a gorgeous subtle dark green.
