Whether you’re invited to a summer wedding or you need a new men’s suit for the workplace, a light-colored plaid suit is a stylish choice for the warm summer months. With so many different plaid patterns available on the market today, it can be difficult to pull off a sleek appearance without looking too busy. Menswear eCollection can help you pick out the right plaid suit that is appropriate for any special occasion, including fashionable plaid business suits for the office.

Our Spring and Summer 2009 Catalog features the latest plaid suits, including a chic three-button suit with a notch lapel and dual-side vents. This suit (style # T5813) is available in soft summer hues, such as beige and light gray. Wear this suit to the workplace or to a semi-formal social event. We carry a similar three-button plaid suit (style # T6013S) with a more sharply defined pattern. This suit comes in a larger variety of colors, including tan, olive, barley, beige and silver. We also carry a two-button plaid suit (style # T5312S) with a notch lapel and dual-side vents that features a stretch armhole panel and extra fine fabric. This bold plaid suit is available in black, tan, charcoal, and brown. In addition to these three suits, we also offer four button suit options in plaid that are just as stylish.

Now that you have picked out your plaid suit, make sure that you follow these great tips to ensure that you look your best no matter what the occasion. According to GQ magazine, if you’re wearing a busy plaid suit, keep the pocket square simple. It is easy to balance your suit by wearing a solid, or slightly patterned, light-color shirt. If you are going for a very sophisticated look, then select a tie that is in the same color palette as the suit. Plaid suits give a break from the plain business wardrobe and offers “an unexpected—but thoroughly appropriate—edge.”
