When the Summer sun finally appears, you may be desperate to jump into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, but if you have an office job your boss may not welcome such a casual look. If you have to wear a suit from Monday to Friday, you'll need to put a little bit of effort into finding an option that will have you looking sharp while still allowing you to stay cool. Check everything from the colour to the fabric and make sure your summer suits don't let you down this year.

When it comes to finding Summer suits, it's a good idea to keep a close eye on the type of material they are made of. Ideally, you want a suit that will breath easily, to help you avoid that sticky, boil-in-the-bag feeling, but that will also hold its shape - this is essential if you spend a lot of time sitting, as if you choose the wrong kind of fabric you'll end up with unsightly creases.

Look for blends like silk-and-cotton and wool-and-canvas weaves, and choose ones that make use of traditional materials like canvas, cotton and linen for the best results. Cotton is a particularly good choice for a casual suit, and it can feel almost as comfortable as wearing your favourite t-shirt. If you need to look especially smart for an indoor meeting then plump for a light wool suit, but if you just need a good look for around the office, a linen-cotton blend should add a little weight without stifling you.

Colour is another major factor when it comes to choosing Summer suits, and while white may seem like a good idea - being as light-reflective as it is - it can be a practical nightmare. While a white t-shirt is both practical and comfortable, a white suit is less so, mainly because of how much more difficult it is to wash. A while suit is likely to show up all stains, and depending on the fabric used, is likely to need some serious lining too. If you're looking for a light suit, choose a cream or beige one instead - these will wear dirt better while still letting you feel Summery.

Still, you're best to avoid black if you can help it, plumping for either light or dark grey instead. A muted blue or green can also look great, and help you get in a sunny mood even at your desk. Don't feel glum when the sun rolls around and you know you need to look smart for work, just be sure to choose mens suits that are fully equipped for Summer sun.
