4 types of tailored suits that are perfect for hot weather

While your winter suits keep you cosy and snug in colder temperatures, you should consider switching to lightweight suits when facing a sweltering Hong Kong summer. Raja Fashions recommends suits that weigh between 220 and 240 grams—a weight range that facilitates breathability without compromising your style.

Suits with extra shoulder and chest padding create a sharper silhouette, but often result in a less breathable ensemble. Naturally padded suits, or even suits without any padding at all, are better options in the summertime and can still maintain a pleasing silhouette. Raja Fashions offers expertly tailored pieces that hold their shape without weighing you down with unnecessary fabric.

If you are lucky enough that your workplace allows smart casual dress, but you’re still looking to dress professionally, then you might want to consider styling suit pieces separately. Why not style a suit jacket with a pair of jeans, or a polo with formal pants? These uncommon pairings are ideal for ventilation and breathability, and they keep things classy. Not all tailors offer services for individual suit pieces, but it is important to Raja Fashions that you get to style your bespoke combos, which is why custom jeans, t-shirts, and polo shirts are customisable items from the tailor.

Fabric plays a crucial role in facilitating comfort in clothes. Natural fabrics are sometimes misconceived as winter fabrics, but they can be very appropriate for summer too. If you prefer the premium look and feel of natural materials, Raja Fashions recommend using a blend of silk, linen, and wool for your tailored jacket paired with cotton or wool trousers. Linen is light and works well with Hong Kong’s humidity, silk is cooling to touch, while wool can be breathable depending on how it is woven. Raja Fashions can design your suit with one or a combination of these fabrics.

Alternatively, plant-based materials are also suitable for a summer suit. Fabrics like plant-based linen and cotton fabrics are light, flexible, and breathable, making them more suitable for hot and humid summer days.
