3 Essential Fabrics to get you through the Summer
As summer rolls around, it might seem hard to keep up the heritage look without sacrificing comfort. With so many heavier fabrics being key for the style, we’ve compiled 3 of our favourite lightweight materials to keep you cool during the heat without deviating from your style!
Linen
Linen is perhaps the king of summer fabrics, with its flowy nature and quick drying speed making it ideal for keeping you cool during the hotter months. The oversized cuts that often accompany linen accentuate its relaxed nature, so why not give Hartford's earthy chore coat or Knickerbocker’s beach-ready linen trousers a try this summer?
Chambray
If you’re into your military classics, you might find it hard to ditch the heavier jackets and dress sensibly for summer, but the humble chambray is your biggest ally in this department. Carrying the smarter looks of traditional shirts, chambray’s breathable, denim-like construction makes it a perfect substitute for standard cotton weaves. Pair them with some chinos and GATs, and tie everything together with a lightweight scarf, and you’re onto a winner!
Lightweight Denim
Denim is such an essential part of our wardrobes here at SON OF A STAG, but it starts getting harder to wear those 15-20oz pairs around this time of year. For this reason, having some lightweight denim choices is essential for summer dressing, and thankfully there’s plenty to choose from. FULL COUNT’s Super Smooth denim has been a favourite for a while, weighing in at only 11.5oz, and Dehen’s new undyed selvedge overshirt is a recent favourite. Paired with some heritage classics, and you’re ready to take the heat in style!
