Weekend Wear: Make Your Tan Suit Great Again

Tan suits are a perfect blank canvas in the warmer months. You can pair ’em with just about every colour and pattern out there, which makes them a versatile choice for everything from work to a summer wedding. For a fun, casual weekend spent out on the town — like, say, this one — liven yours up with a bright shirt and breezy accessories.

 1. BOSS Slim Fit Virgin Wool Silk Suit, $995

Fashioned in a perfect slim fit from a light, breathable blend of virgin wool and silk, this tan suit will keep you cool while staying crisper than a more standard cotton chino version.

2. Missoni Multi-Stripes Cotton-Knit Polo Shirt, $420 at Matches Fashion

Missoni knows their way around a patterned knit, and this colourful polo is a prime example. Pairing a polo with a suit is the perfect way to dress down your tailoring without looking sloppy — the collar and the structured shape of the shirt make sure of that.

3. Burberry Contrast Border Silk Pocket Square, $115

You can easily skip a tie when wearing a suit, but jackets sometimes feel naked without a pocket square. The multi-coloured polo provides inspiration for picking an equally colourful pocket square. We chose one that ties into the dark and light blue hues on the shirt, but cranberry or Kelly green would have been just as welcome.

4. Gucci Tian GG Supreme Card Case, $325

Yes, the interior of your blazer has plenty of pockets, but that isn’t an invitation for you to fill them all up. At most, you need your phone and a few cards and bills in a cardholder. It may be a small accessory, but that doesn’t mean it can’t pack a punch, so forgo the standard black or brown and choose something with more personality.

5. Tiger of Sweden White Leather Sneakers, $230 at Ssense

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more minimalist pair of white sneakers, and that’s what makes these kicks so special. Devoid of any logos, with barely any visible stitching, sleek laces, and a simple cup sole, you can pair them with pretty much anything in your summer wardrobe, and yes, that includes suits too.

6. Louis Vuitton LV Fifty Five Automatic GMT 41MM, $6,800

Louis Vuitton blends the arts of trunk- and watchmaking in the LV Fifty Five. The sleek 41mm face is inspired by the French house’s aluminum trunks, featuring name plates that are similar to those found on the locks of the trunks. The dial is made from anthracite, and, true to its name, the additional fourth green hand (featuring a contrasting “V” pointer) keeps track of Greenwich Mean Time.
