How to wear a suit in summer

Summer is approaching, and with it comes your desire to wear more summery looks. Whether you're going to work, dining out in a chic restaurant or attending your best friend's wedding, women's tailoring will accompany you to your various events. All you have to do is adapt your look to the seasons and create new combinations with your wardrobe. 
   
Discover our 6 unbeatable tips for combining comfort and style this summer!
    
   
1- DARE TO USE BRIGHT COLORS
 
Why not take advantage of summer to dare to wear brighter, bolder colors? This season, we're going for sunny pop tones and opting for pink, orange-red or electric blue. This way, you'll be able to stand out from the crowd while still looking stylish. Adopt a pair of sneakers for a sportswear look, or a pretty pair of sandals for an elegant yet casual look.

2- ADOPT ALTERNATIVES TO PANTS
  
With summer's hot temperatures, you'll probably want to opt for a lighter outfit. Swap your tailored pants for a high-waisted skirt or shorts. A refined summer look that'll keep you cool and comfortable!

3- OPT FOR OVERSIZED CUTS
  
"Skirts or shorts, very little for me!" If you still want to wear tailored pants all year round, the oversize cut offers a chic and comfortable alternative for summer. Less fitted at the leg, this shape will let your skin breathe as the day progresses.

4- CHOOSE THE RIGHT TOP
  
There are many ways to wear your suit. In summer, forget long, fitted sleeves and opt for a lightweight top to enhance your outfit. A camisole, tank top, wrap-around top, t-shirt or blouse would be a perfect match for your work ensemble, while a crop top, bodysuit or bra would give you a more modern, casual look. Dare to use prints to give your outfit a fresh touch.

5- MIX YOUR LOOKS
  
Think suits are too formal for summer? Pair your suit jacket with a flowing, belted dress for a unique and original look. You can also play with colors to further assert your style.
