Summer-proof with our new linen suits

Summer proof with our new linen suits

Glorious summer weather is on its way! That calls for a wardrobe update with breathable clothing. But let's be honest, warm weather doesn't always make it easy to dress representatively and stylishly. At GENTS, we understand that, which is why our brand-new collection features a range of lightweight and elegant linen suits. Let yourself be inspired by our new looks and read our styling tips on how to appear in style at the office on a tropical summer day.

Lightweight linen suits from GENTS

Stylish, lightweight, breathable and completely contemporary—that's what GENTS linen suits are all about. These suits are crafted from a linen-cotton blend that is not only breathable but also features subtle stretch. The stretch quality provides that extra bit of freedom of movement without the suit losing its elegant shape. You'll stay not only cool throughout the day, but look sharp as well.

Most of the suits in our collection are made with stretch fabric so you can move freely, even on a long day out. The breathable fabric prevents heat from building up. Another advantage of our linen suits is that they maintain their shape beautifully, from morning to evening. No more drooping lapels or creased trousers by the end of the day.

Linen suits in various colours and styles

Our collection of linen-blend suits comes in a fresh colour palette. This summer is all about soft pastels and refined details. Trade in your black or navy suit for a trendy shade like petrol. This deep, stylish blue tone brings a summery twist. Or be surprised by dove blue, a colour that looks a touch lighter and has a chic appeal without appearing stiff.

Prefer a suit with a natural vibe? Then mist green is ideal—subtle, calming and perfect to pair with neutral tones. For a truly summery look with class, an ivory-white suit is the perfect choice. This neutral colour exudes luxury and elegance without being loud.

Styling advice from GENTS

With a linen suit, the combinations are endless. Depending on the occasion, you can easily adjust your look. At GENTS, we're happy to help you find the perfect look for both a summer garden party and a business meeting.

Heading to a wedding? An ivory-white suit paired with a light blue shirt, a pocket square in a pastel shade and white leather lace-up shoes is a perfect combination. With sunglasses within reach, you're ready for a summer ceremony in style.

For a garden party or summer drinks, opt for a relaxed, casual style. Go for a mist green suit with a basic white T-shirt and beige loafers. Roll up your shirt sleeves for a laid-back summer vibe. A linen suit doesn't have to be stiff or formal.

A linen suit is also your partner at a business meeting. Pair a dove blue suit with a white shirt and smart lace-up shoes for a professional, not-too-warm look. Or opt for a linen suit in houndstooth style for a timeless look with a classic touch. Feel free to leave the tie at home: with an open collar, you'll look fresh, stylish and professional.
