Mens suits should always reflect the current season. Spring is already here, which means it is time to put away your fall and winter suits and bring out the spring and summer ones. Whether you’re invited to a formal wedding or a casual networking event, look your best with an affordable suit from Menswear eCollection. We have prepared a quick guide to purchasing the latest spring and summer suits for 2009.

Spring and summer suits are typically lighter in color and fabric. One of the best fabrics to wear during warmer weather is cotton. Cotton is durable and lightweight. In addition, it possesses natural wicking properties, which means that it dispels moisture away from your body and keeps it within the fabric. As moisture is pulled away from your skin, it reaches the surface of the clothing where it evaporates, thus keeping you cool. At Menswear eCollection, we carry several cotton sports coats and suits that are available in lighter colors, such as our tan, three-button seer sucker luxury sport coat for only $79.95. This stylish jacket features a notch lapel, flap pocket, and dual side vents.

Surprisingly, another great fabric for spring and summer is wool. Wool is considered the idea suit fabric for several reasons. It is comfortable, wrinkle-resistant, and lasts longer than most other fabrics. Like cotton, wool has natural wicking properties. Even if you wear a wool suit in the heat of summer, it will keep you cool. Menswear eCollection carries a wide selection of two-button and three-button wool tailored suits available in soft spring and summer hues. Look for lightweight wool, such as our men’s super 120’s Merino wool suits. We carry a classic three-button ventless suit that features a notch lapel and is available in both cream and beige.

For a perfect summer fabric, consider wearing linen. Linen is extremely lightweight and lends a casual yet classy look. It is very loose-fitting and comfortable and is therefore, often considered the ideal vacation fabric. If you’re invited to a destination wedding in Maui, for example, a stylish linen suit may be your best bet. Menswear eCollection offers luxury silk linen sports coats, available in light gray and soft blue.  Don’t forget to visit our neckties section to complete the look.
